Frank Zane managed to come in 3rd in the Olympia after tearing his urethra, and never had an Olympia appearance lower than 4th. Vince Basile made a weight machine no one uses, and fixed the 1970 Mr.Canada :).

there is no need to hold size in your 70s

frank zane build is a big inspiration to me since I almost went the mass route and seeing pics of frank's build year and after year made me rethink that mass is over rated and which it is.

20 inch arms + dont come without a price on your body: been there, done that

Post by: The Scott on November 17, 2019, 06:18:33 PM
FFS, Basile...You look like a teleflubby (no worries, so do I!).  Zane is a 3 time Olympia winner back when it meant something to win that title.  You?  You're an all time whiner.

I've been to Zane's home once and he was a gentleman.  I did not have the pleasure of meeting his wife but Frank was very kind toward me.  My older brother is a tremendous fan of his and was introduced to Frank by Leo Stern.   I am also a fan of Zanes and with good reason.  His was the most aesthetic physique of his generation (and beyond) and still superior in every way to pigs like Haney, Jay, Ronnie, Yates and that swine Phildo.

So STFU up, Vinnie B.  Your petty jealousy should be beneath one of your age but no...I'd wager that the biggest thing on you, even before that (buffalo) chip on your shoulder is your freaking ego.

Yup.  I don't know if he still does that but when he moved from Palm Springs (I think) to the La Mesa area of San Diego, he was still training people in his well equipped home gym.  In the desert it was called "Zane Haven" and in La Mesa, "Frank Zane Experience".

Reminder: Safety Fatso was pretending that in his 'heydays' (1970) he would win Mr.Universe title in ONLY 6 months of training (yeah right)

Okay, compare for yourself. If I had gone to California instead of Australia in 1971 perhaps I might have been more competitive with all the motivation there.

In Sydney I had to do 2 jobs and help raise a family.

Have I ever made a comment to you about what you can or can't post here or how you should behave?

So Zane looks like an old fart now. That is the truth. Sure we all fall apart at the end but some of us try to postpone that decline.

My arms and calves are just under 18 inches cold. I train my arms once a week but do no calf work. So it is possible to retain

muscle size as we get older.

Nope.  But I fail to see why you would ask such a question.   This is a forum wherein we posit ideas and opinions on a variety of subjects.

You really did look very, very good.  And your build was much better than mine but, Zane smokes us both with ease.  You need to learn to write, not type, my young friend.  It starts with thinking things out before banging those keys.  ;D

Basile and Zane shouldn't be used in the same sentence.

For close to 80, Zane is just fine. Smart, mobile, not on a forum arguing w/ people about nonsense.
Zane accepts mail from people he doesnt know, he accepted used an article I wrote in one of his "Building the Body" magazines.
He knew it was from Vince and decided to send it back to him just to give him another "dig" like he did many years ago.

He probably doesnt like loud-mouth "wanna-be's".  :o

This has got to be one of the most ridiculous things you've come up with since the biceps supinator.

zane looks lean and trim and has avoided the inevitable fat build up old people get, whereas you're looking like a bag of safety fat bloof

you've been hating these guys since the 70s basille. I'm guessing they realised how big a prick you were so didn't let you join the inner circle of the sport. then you internalised this but never looked in the mirror.

What is ridiculous about inventing excellent gym equipment. Name several other bodybuilders who have invented some new machine that is helpful for building muscles.

Zane thought I was living in Fantasyland because I said my ambition was to beat him after winning the Mr Canada contest in 1970. That pissed him off. What an ego that guy had.

So now in old age...we are about the same age...he isn't looking so superior any more. Maybe he shouldn't do videos looking that puny?

Agreed.  Bang on - all of it.

I asked Frank in person would his biggest competitive weight was, and he said he was 205-lb at his biggest but "didn't look good" at that weight.  I would say that he looked good.  He was hardly soft...and he was 20-lb heavier than his normal competitive weight.  I think he looked good at any weight, really.  Anything between 185- to 205-lb.

He would be a soft 170-lb without drugs, but with MINIMAL drugs, he could be a cut 170-lb.  By "normal people standards", that is.

Now:

Having said that, there comes a point where a person has to stop bickering with strangers on a bodybuilding board.  This whole thing is just WEIRD.

I met Frank Zane at the Arnold classic 2012
I shaked his hand and wanted to talk with him
He didn't say a word
A woman near him told me i had to buy his book first

Tell us more about that 'excellent gym equipment' like, where is selling, price, etc ,.................. :D

zane probably cries himself to sleep daily in regret that he didn't come up with the biceps supinator machine and that he never shook up the medical world like Vince, with his trademarked safety fat theory.

That Moore version looks dicey. I suppose you could get it up on blocks, and do a "buttom's up' squat if safety was  needed. I've never seen anyone in real life go heavy with them, maybe at the most 2 plates a side. Looking on Youtube, this guy goes up to #345 on the Zane version -

.

The Zane version is a little safer, not a great catch, but you could rack it and run -

Vince, you really did look great in the picture you posted, and anyone who would say otherwise would be talking trash because they dislike you.  I also have no doubt that Zane has been a colossal anus hole to a lot of people in his day, not just toward you.

Now:

Having said that, there comes a point where a person has to stop bickering with strangers on a bodybuilding board.  This whole thing is just WEIRD.


Basille has been typing furiously on boards for decades bitching about the golden era like

Where are the big egos of bodybuilding? Arnold, Frank, etc. They wouldn't dare post on Getbig. I have been on BB boards for

at least 20 years. Helps me keep an interest in bodybuilding.

Frankly, they moved on and don’t care. There is nothing else to prove for them. You seem to be still holding grudges close to 50 years later

A lot of people are ragging on Vince B, but Zane looks like shit. His home gym is no different than Curves. Geez - dumbbells that go to 50 pounds? And lets make a gym full of rubber bands so nobody gets hurt from those nasty metal plates, haha

Yeah, he was Mr Olympia, and a puny one at that. Now he looks like a granola eating Hindu who drones on about yoga, lol.

LOL. You don't know champion bodybuilders. Some were here but most have gone. Why? Well, Getbig isn't a rest home for big egos. It is rather a place where everyone can be a target...sooner or later.

It would be great to interact with all those guys. Even the current champs stay well away from Getbig. Better to be safe than sorry.

All those anonymous heroes can destroy anyone they please. Finally, the insignificant nobodies can beat the guys with the big muscles.

Think for a moment about gyms. Who set up and owns most of the great gyms today? Bodybuilders? Hardly. Arnold never owned a gym. Joe Gold told Arnold to invest in real estate. So that is what Arnold did. Paid off, too.

Zane never had a gym that would impress a bodybuilder. He catered to the average Joe who didn't know much about training. He has a nice home gym. Doesn't look like he trains much any more.

Muscles can be retained by some but not if substantial injuries have accumulated along the way.

No homo here! Robert Nailon brought Frank up to our apartment at Queenscliff Beach in Sydney.

When I arrived home the first thing Frank said to me was, "You don't have to go to Disneyland, do you?!"

I was puzzled so asked him why not? He said, "Because you've been in Fantasyland all your life!"

What a true asshole. Both he and Nailon laughed. This was about 1978 or so and Frank was

Mr Olympia. He had read an article in the magazines about the 1970 Mr Canada contest. I said

that my ambition was to beat Frank Zane because we had similar builds. So we talked for a while

and my impression was that Frank wasn't this highly intelligent guy as suggested by himself and the

muscle magazines.

My theory is quite simple. Continue to stimulate hypertrophy in part of the body and that will generate hormones

that will help delay decline and atrophy. Seems to work. I keep telling myself to do more to reduce fat levels.

Not so easy because of social reasons. Also, I don't seem to need as many calories to stay the same weight.

Not that I am counting. It has surprised me how much size I retain and even gain in my arms. I wouldn't have

believed this was possible. However, how many older bodybuilders have a go at seeing how big they can get their

arms? I have refined my training so that it is very effective and efficient. Still, it is a chore to train hard enough

to even keep large muscles the same size.

Good grief.  The biggest thing on these chumps is their ego.  They probably don't post here because they can't string together a sentence that makes sense.   Theirs is a pose to live, live to pose world.  They're morons.  Many sell their anus rather than get a real job.    Buttsluts.

As for you and Frank, outside of yourself I doubt anyone really gives an intercourse.  Shoot, for all we know you just do this to read your name on the interwebs. 

Okay then...You are now free to ask me your usual repertoire of inane questions that define avoiding a serious reply/rebuttal.  Allow me to reply to a couple of them:

"Just who are you to question me?!" -  Ummmm...No one.  But I'm smarter than you and that says a lot about you.  It also makes me feel bad for you as I am not all that intelligent.

"Have you ever won a title?!" -   Ummmmm...Nope.  Not even one rumored to have been fixed.  ;)

Have a good evening and try to have a more relaxed and engaging life, kiddo.
