Frank Zane

Frank ZaneWhen you think of bodybuilders who have achieved classical proportions, they are few in number but the list always includes Frank Zane.

Frank Zane is a three-time Mr. Olympia (1977 to 1979) and his reign represented a shift of emphasis from mass to aesthetics in bodybuilding.

Although not everyone is capable of developing the symmetry of Reeves, Zane or Labrada, every person can improve their muscle shape and symmetry above and beyond where it is today.

If you’re a bodybuilder, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to get big; that's part of what bodybuilding is about. But never go after size at the expense of symmetry. Remember, there's a difference between being big and looking big. Listen to what Vince said:

"All beginning bodybuilders, I find, are too interested in the scale and the tape as yardsticks of progress. They seem to think if they weigh or measure a certain amount, that this automatically produces a perfect build. Nothing could be further from the truth. What they don’t seem to remember is that they do not weigh or measure you on the physique stage; they determine the best build by shape, size, and symmetry."

We're pleased to stock a number of classic Frank Zane courses in the shop.
