“You can’t escape your limits but you can expand them “
-Frank Zane
Frank is so dignified and classy, he has something gym bros lack today- character
Thanks Matthew. There's an element of being willing to really listen and learn before trying things yourself for understanding that a lot of people are missing, too. It's something Paul Chek covered in the interview with him. If you're interested, you'll find it here... itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/escape-your-limits/id1321349827?mt=2
According to Ric Drasin and Jerry Brainum, "Frank was a great guy and he still is" just introverted. Frank is a person i actually would like to meet and with him you could actually have great conversation instead of just small talk. High def body is great book! :)
Integrity
@D B i think you are talking about Arnold Schwarzenegger
Bit of a retarded assumption to make. As if you’ve met every gym bro today.
"Go where you are appreciated." - Frank Zane
Great advice honestly!
be blessed frank zane and others bit . ly / 2IXGBtV be blessed all.
“Go wherever the fuck you like” -Me lol Nothing but respect for Zane.. 💪
Usually "the fuck you like" equals to "where you are appreciated".
UNGETABLE7 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
Bought a leg blaster from Frank many years ago. He called shortly after to make sure I was happy with the product, and I had a good conversation with him...very interesting and thoughtful fellow.
Bought a leg blaster 2 years ago, used, in England. The squats of the future. All gym should have one. I know now why i never liked the classic squats.
What is this I hear you talking about? Something to replace the dreaded SQAUT 🥰
Yeah, I saw that leg blaster advertised in Flex, along with the slogan, "Legs like Zane," but never got it. I called on an ad for Mike Mentzer's training books in Flex and expected to speak to a secretary. Instead, Mike answered the phone himself, and I talked to him for a while. He was out of breath from running upstairs to the phone, he said, so I kidded him about how his heavy-duty approach needed more cardio, like stair stepping. hehe He was a heavy dude too -- into Ann Rand and objectivism. (He was dead a couple of years later. )
Never heard of Suzanne Summers calling someone after getting a "thigh-master."
How much was it ?
There needs to be a Frank Zane Classic: best proportion and definition wins!
Awesome idea
There already is classic bodybuilding the guys are just bigger than Zane people are not gonna lose muscle for a show
@@joebate9267 Relative to his height and bone structure Zane at his peak actually was more developed than many of the classic guys of today. In addition contrary to what many think he was not "small" in comparison to his heavier competitors at the time.
Isn’t that bodybuilding. Oh wait it ruined after dorians winning over people that had much better symmetry than him and maybe just maybe flex wheeler lost to Ronnie in 99. Just might a few cases that FUCK UP BODYBUILDING BESIDES ALL THE GROWTH HORMONES AND STEROIDS.
Lose hat
This man is the master of bodybuilding.
Yared Flores indeed!
A god
Steve Reeves + Frank Zane + Bob Paris + Francis Benfatto.
You can hear the teacher in him when he speaks
@@mrpunisher7495 Clearly a "god" wouldn't age and wither away - as all men do. There IS a true God, and He's the only one - YHWH.
Of course he's not the only, but one of the most intelligent and articulate bodybuilders ever.
It was a pleasure working with him!
Truly. Perhaps one of the best ever in aesthetics
Sure much more intelligent, than Arnold.
Of course you have others like...liiike...🤔 mmm...🤔
@@imanoldurham5395 Dorian Yates.
I love Frank Zane, he keeps it real. He is soooo refreshing as a man who is not just working on his body but also his spirit and mind. I respect his energy and his constant striving to grow with out shame.
You're right! When Frank talks about workout out, he means every aspect of his mind, body and soul.
@@EscapeFitness, As a man should be.
When I was in the Army in the 1970's I was surprised at the number of guys that worked out thought only of Frank Zane as someone to be idolized. Most were not interested in developing a body like Arnold's and felt women appreciated a body like Frank's.
Apparently the magazine covers with Frank sold more than Arnold.... at least initially.
The Zane look would be much more popular with most women, aesthetically. It's a more approachable look.
It is more averige,that is what normal gay wont to look,novine spectacular
not surprised, women are more into aesthetics not mass monsters.
Damn... This guy just became my favorite bodybuilder! What a way to think and a way to approach life!
He's an incredibly insightful man. There are a lot more people talking about the secrets of their success and approach on the rest of the podcast, too. Check a few out :) itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/escape-your-limits/id1321349827?mt=2
"There is no such thing as being,
there is only becoming"
Frank Zane
He's such a class act....
In every way!
Real role model
Yo this dude is 76? WTH that’s inspiration right there!
you cant deny the years of knowledge he has acquired intellectually, intuitively, and from the heart had truly brought him to a level of simplicity most of us cant imagine let alone attain.
Zane sounds like Eastwood.
he totally does!
Do ya feel lucky? WELL? Do ya punk?
@@ericdahl2915 yeah i agree that sounds really looks eastwood really humble calm in interview
Have u ever seen a easy wood movie
Very much so.
I love how philosophical Frank is. I could listen to him speak all day 👌🏼
Thanks for your feedback, Louie. Have you seen/heard any of the other Escape Your Limits podcast episodes? itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/escape-your-limits/id1321349827?mt=2
Gem of an interview! Inspirational, entertaining, educational. A champions champion!
Was @ the 79 Mr.O. He still inspires me to this day. True Legend. Much respect
Frank is amazing ,well spoken and logical .
He was an incredible person to interview. Have you checked out the rest of the Escape Your Limits episodes? itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/escape-your-limits/id1321349827?mt=2
Ageing so very Gracefully. God Bless U Mr Frank Zane. U were always my Favourite. I Even Copied your posing style in most competitions - AND I always won.
Great work, and congratulations.
Frank Zane is a very wise man. I have enjoyed listening and learning from him. Much appreciation.
Frank gets really spiritual and psychological with you in interviews. Although it felt 'rushed' by the interviewee . 'yeh, yeah, right, right, yah, yeah. . '
Not too much engagement on his end. Was prob a homework assignment for him without really knowing much of Frank's past .
Enjoyable and lengthy, despite it all. .
Hellthrasher annoying the. "yeah yeah". ...and. " Right". ....as if..."ok- enough...make it short"....
I agree! It sounds like he’s not interested in anything anyone says by keep going, “yep, yep, yeah” while they’re talking. Also he doesn’t listen properly, ends up asking the same questions and repeating back incorrect information. The London Real guy is much better.
I agree he came off cold and dry without any passion for what he was saying . Could of been nervousness and lack of experience or just personality ?
@@benpharrison he is agreeing with him and acknowledging the importance of what he's saying and letting him know he's following along. You must be a boring as hell to talk to just staring quietly saying nothing 🤣
Yes. The guy almost killed the interview. Frank is so brilliant and self-sufficient that he has toned down this annoying interviewer trait. Very unsuitable for an interviewer.
My favorite Bodybuilder of all time, and my late dad's too!
amazing interview! Frank Zane has always been my favorite bodybuilder of all time!
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.
In fact, why not check out some more episodes? :) itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/escape-your-limits/id1321349827?mt=2
Honestly, who doesn't like Frank Zane?
Even if you don't like bodybuilding, he's got so much knowledge and he's such a nice guy!
Functional training doing nice job😍
I don't like his body. All wrong. Maybe he looks better in person?
I had a pretty bad experience, with him. I met him and his wife back in 2010 and, without getting into details, I can say that he definitely wasn't a nice guy. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that he was having a horrible day, but, it was a bad experience, either way.
Bran Kind
You can't appreciate how good he looks until you see him in person. The photos don't tell half the story.
He is a perfect mixture of Bodybuilding, Spirituality, Positivity, Self Respect & Self Acceptance..Thats what is needed for the Youth today..Thanks for the video..So happy to see Frank..God bless..😊
Like any pursuit, bodybuilding has moved along and boundaries pushed
We've become used to size the Dorian, Ronnie, Markus, Ramy etc represent, so its easy to forget.
But just look back at his images and WOW!
What a beautiful physique.
I defy any man, bodybuilding fan or not, to say they wouldnt want to look like that?
Frank - An incredible bodybuilder, with a perfectly proportioned body, in his heyday. Him and Steve Reeves, looked awesome, because of their beautiful symmetry. Great video!
What a man!...so intelligent plus emotionally & spiritually aware! his words are so worth listening to as he clearly has a deep understanding of mind, body and spirit...Wow!!!
Frank Zane..I interrupted this interview because I was motivated to hit the gym..and it's difficult to motivate myself sometimes..Now watching again..I could sit with Mr.Zane and talk for hours..What a guy!..
Humble, dignified, polite.
A lesson for me.
Frank know's the contest is already won before he step's on stage, you see he's visualised it so many times, after all it's a mind game everything start's in tbe mind.
I can't believe I watched the whole thing... Frank is fascinating gentleman!
The Best Body Ever !!
Yes one of the best for sure
Aesthetics wise, perhaps the best
The Magazine cover on the wall says it all . 'Best Physique ever'
Love his perfect looking body
25:27
"The present is a microsecond fiction - now you see it, now you don't"
I LOL'd so hard at how true this is.
THERE IS NO ONE LIKE FRANK...He had the kind of physique MOST everyone wanted !!!
I think the difference with mr Zane as opposed to most in the fitness industry is that his philosophy is grounded in reality. There’s something very sensible and practical about his ideas and personality.
An absolute icon, genius, and gentleman. ❤
I love Frank Zane!
Bought Frank Zane Leg Blaster and i train quads and calves on it ar home. I started to grow. Squats never liked them. Now there is no lower back or knee pain. I feel my quads burning with less weight- it isolates the muscle perfectly.
watched the entire interview. Intelligent/introspective/humble despite some big accomplishments...focused and well rounded individual.
Zane may well have been one of the most intelligent of all bodybuilders of all time... not just during his genre`
Watching that interview and listening to him explain espouse and elaborate on his approach to life makes you understand
more deeply why Zane would have been a success or champion in whatever direction the man decided to take.
There are a few athletes in history who's name is almost bigger than sport they participate in, Nicklaus, Palmer, Jordan, Ali, Federer, Senna, Dimagio. Nobody is bigger than the sport or so we are told, all we know is some get closer than other's, Frank is in that elite group.
There is only one Frank Zane! That's the biggest success! 💪
Very good point, George.
Thank you 👍

Man... old school guys like Frank, Arnold, and Dorian are infinitely more interesting and intelligent than the likes of Jay, Ronnie, etc.
Cause they were real men and not preening peacocks.
@Jeffrey Hinkel
At 47 I'm old enough to know the truth of this declaration. Our culture has been debased and superficialized and our people dumbed down to a point I would never have believed possible as an adolescent.
@Jeffrey Hinkel
Didn't mean to give that impression. By "this declaration" I was referring to your above statement. I took no offense and was merely agreeing with you.
Dorian isn't old and he's what caused the monstrosity that's called bodybuilding today. The original overweight pregnant bubble gut blocky physique. His back looks like some play dogh that got mushed up by a 3 year old. He NEVER had an Olympia worthy physique. He only won his Olympias cause his g4p buddy Steven Weinberg was a head judge.
@ Van Damme was a bodybuilder.
Zane. Truly the greatest physique of all time. I enjoyed his insight and philosophy during this hour & didn't know he was so spiritual. Great interview! 💪🏼🏋🏻♂️
Glad you enjoyed in, Johnny. Have you seen/heard any of the other Escape Your Limits podcast episodes? itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/escape-your-limits/id1321349827?mt=2
I'll be sure to check this out, thanks! 🤛🏻
Nice one! Hope you enjoy them. 👍
Frank is a legend ! I also didn’t know Lance Armstrong had such an interest in interviewing bodybuilders.
Amazing, looks like the blokes figured out human cloning already.
The real Lance Armstrong would be much more interesting and knowledgable about steroids and training than this clown!
First of all thank you, you the interviewer for not interrupting Frank once, and thank you Frank for your outlook on life, not just body building. So brilliant to hear you speak the way you did in this interview. Been a long time Arnold fan like everyone else. But I do believe Frank has surpassed Arnold for me after listening to him speak. Brilliant. 💪🙏☯⚛
THE greatest of all time. CLASS ACT!
He is so special, for how connected he is. From his mind, to his body, to his soul.
Music. Enjoying his time.
I love his attitude and mindset. He was winning his Mr. Olympia's when I was in HS. He's always been one of my favorites from an aesthetics perspective, but he's also one of my favorites for his mind and his mindset.
Still an inspiration
More than ever 👑
Nice to finally meet him and hear in an interview. To me he was the most aesthetically built of all the greats.
Thx for bringing Mr. Zane to us for an hour visit.
Thanks Johnny. It was great fun to speak to him and an incredible insight into someone so experienced at the top of his game. We've also got Lee Haney featured on another episode, have you seen/heard it? itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/escape-your-limits/id1321349827?mt=2
I met him twice in 1979,1980 when he guest posed at the Mr Canada/ Canadian Championships in Montreal and Hamilton. I treasure the photo I have with him and the conversations we had
"There's no such thing
as being there is only becoming."
And there is, ladies and gentleman, man with the VISION.
And with this attitude, I think, there is no such thing as failure.
I remember Frank Zane from magazines, when I was a kid. What a great spirit!! Love his harmonica playing too!
this is how you do an interview . this guy ask the right questions on every episode . thanks man
Intelligent and interesting guy.........a legacy being made right here!
He's full of motivational for people who either want to go on their bodybuilding or business journey. Take a look at the other episodes of Escape Your Limits for further inspiration, Bradley... itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/escape-your-limits/id1321349827?mt=2
THE BEST THEN AND NOW!!! FRANK ZANE!!! All my friends used to ask "If we could be any one in bodybuilding...who would you be?' FRANK ZANE was always the answer! So great to see you still looking and sounding and BEING.....FRANK ZANE!!! I Love Ya SIFU!!!
He is extremely intelligent in many ways, incredible physique, an inspiration to definitely aspire to be, especially today, ultimate in aesthetics , way to go Frank
21:54 People generally suck, due to societal conditioning, and it appears to be getting much worse, and the people leading society are not really great leaders, and appear to be promoted based on their 1. Unawareness, 2. Penchant for corruption, and they apparently are frequently compromised. Self-actualization is the pinnacle of life, and very admirable. (Frank is a teacher, that's great!)
I once heard mr Zane was bitter so glad I tuned in such a thoughtful evolved man.
I love listening to the old school guys. They have so much wisdom and I much prefer the old school physique. Its usually so simple what they have to say.
When I first saw one of Frank Zane’s photograph the first thing that came to my mind was a perfectly sculpted Greek statue. I kept thinking ‘is this possible’ that day. True legend!
Love Frank and always have. Got his autograph while he was attending the 1979 World Power Lifting Championship in Dayton, Ohio. Nice and smart man.
One of the only few bodybuilders who are still healthy in Age. 75 years old and looks like mid 50's. Look at Ronnie coleman or arnold, they got more and more Injurys and become ill.. respect for zane, the best example for a healthy Life.
He's done so well. Our episode with Lee Haney also covers how to train without getting injured. You can find it here... ruclips.net/video/p3wPtgxjs7A/видео.html&lc=UgyfKz4xrKuvMZwgyip4AaABAg
Respect to Steve Reeves and Frank Zane. Top two in my books.
to be fair, ronnie was a lot bigger and trained much heavier which was probably the reason he declined so fast
@@ee-ec9vq Yes you are right, however ronnie's form was terrible. He also injured himself many many times.
Isn't Ronnie in a wheelchair? His body is broken beyond belief now.
Over the years I have emailed Frank Zane, once in a great while, with a question concerning training. He was always very gracious answering my questions. I have appreciated that very much.
Frank it was you who inspired me to stay steroid free, you had such a great attitude, I read one of your books about how you trained and lived, it was what I wanted to do. I just wanted to be a better me, and I lost that mind set after raising 3 children sent them through school. Now I'm back on track, eating right and working out. Good Luck in this part of your life and journey with your search to find that you were created by a much higher power after him, who loves you. Life is always better when you are healthy and happy.
where/when has he admitted to never using steroids ?
I’m sorry John, I’m a personal trainer. Im 32 now and I’ve seen it all. This guy was not natural. Admittedly he was never doing lots of roids, but he was definitely doing it on occasions. Remember, the competitions he entered weren’t drug tested. I know it’s hard information to take in because he’s an idol of yours. I have amongst the best natural genetics of the people I’ve met and I could never look like Frank. I really do feel sorry for people because we are constantly deceived by others. Remember Frank had a reputation to uphold, perhaps he once told his wife etc that he’s natural and now has to keep to that story. Take care
Frank Zane talking about criticism he got in 1982 for coming in too big shows you how much body building has changed since then. Now it's all about the mass monsters. It's not that symmetry and definition are completely irrelevant now, they've just slipped down the line of importance when it comes to the stage. Fortunately there is Classic Physique now, but most of the top competitors today in that division would have a tough time even making the top 5 during the Frank Zane era.
Frank has a beautiful wife. Very classy lady. They are a beautiful couple. God bless them.
Simply Dragon what has this got to do its this video?
@ I wouldn't say that anymore.
@ not at all.
Brother Mark he's just making a comment...
@ Blows Arnold away?
How so when Zane just said he only works out one day a week at his age...
Mr Zane was a teacher at Mark Twain Jr high school math and physical education/ Weight training. Great to have known you!
Frank was closest to s Greek god I have ever seen, perfect physique
Carl Roberts ... You haven't seen Vince Gironda then.
Asad Ali or serge nubret
But then again youve never seen a greek god... See what i did there. Exposed your stupidity.
Yes, Vince had a fantastic body like Frank. Vince was around in that era, he was regarded as the greatest trainer ever. His book Unleashing The Wild Physique is great
Steve Reeves
Great interview! Good job dude! Im 63, only 4 yrs back in. Zane makes much sense to me!! Thanks!
saved this in my "life and philosophy" folder instead of "fitness".. thanks DY
Absolutely 👍
I learned so much about working out and nutrition listening to this man.
Mr. Zane, that was really neat how you said we need to create a vacuum in our mind as opposed to doing the vacuum pose with our body. I get it. Thank you again.
What a fantastic inspiring honest individual.....I've followed him on and off since the 80's. Glad to see he's still an inspiration
Good interview, giving me a first real look of Frank Zane. I remember reading of him as a teenager, a body builder alongside the likes of Arnold S, but separated from the other body builders by his reputation as a competitor who didn't rely on steroids...good to see he is still taking good care of himself and others.
Don't kid yourself, they all used steroids.
I grew up during that golden era of bodybuilding and of all the great physiques from that era Frank Zanes would be the one I'd want.
Love Frank Zane. Knowledgeable, Kind, Motivated. The best.
Loved this interview, I learned a lot! I didn’t know much about him before this interview. It’s interesting to see the perspectives of people who have accomplished amazing things in their lives
Me too
A gentle man a bodybuilding legend and a deep thinker...what I would do to see people like that in the gym people now adays have no class hats off to you Frank
King of aesthetics
Nice harmonic bodybuilding music video makes my day .. thanks Frank ..!
The Chemist!
Why did they call him that ?
@@smart1sf he had a bachelors degree in chemistry and also in mathematics. + Major in psychology
@@smart1sf, because his education and training taught him to write everything down, taking meticulous notes. He recorded what worked for him, & what didn't.
Your answers are valid in the lala land. In the real world his nickname reflected his impeccable knowledge of steroids and how to use the exactly right amount.
@@wildanS Which he could do because of his background.
Frank has figured it out...continues to change and be an utmost source for fitness, health, and happiness...RIGHT ON FRANK
Frank is the Michelangelo of bodybuilding. Thanks for the advise and encouragement Frank.
Fascinating interview, offering much insight into Zane the man, his mind and worldview.
Frank Zane, The Chemist: Even if he utters a word, I need to take notes ! One of the great legends of the sport. This is one of the best interviews with Zane I've seen, he reveals everything.
Thank you for your kind words. Have you seen/heard any of the other Escape Your Limits podcast episodes? itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/escape-your-limits/id1321349827?mt=2
Yeah sure..thanks ! To give you an honest feedback, your interviewing skills look professional & you give time & space for the person to express himself, pls continue the same in the future.
Can you try to meet up with other legends like Lou ferrigno, Dickerson, Bannout & even others in a similar field..
We'd love to! Thank you for your feedback, it's much appreciated and makes all the hard work that goes into these interviews worth it.
Wow! I've watched the entire interview and i didn't feel that one hour has passed... A lot of wisdom! ❤🙌
My two favorites Mike Mintzer, Frank Zane.
Mike Mentzer did a lot of steroids - Arnold was on Dianabol from day one - they always deny that they used steroids...
Great to hear Frank speak! Shame about the audio. It's not the best unfortunately. The Haney interview you did has better audio. Thank you for the interview and I hooe to see more in the future :)
The fitness blues, that's awesome!
You gotta love Frank, classy and nice guy, keeping it simple.
I love Frank. Thank you, Teacher.
This man is a rare combination of an athlete and a scholar/scientist. An analogy would be a person who designs and builds a warplane and uses that specific plane to become a pilot ace. Outstanding individual.
gracias por la entrevista con el señor Zane
Frank Zane, did you notice the Time Stamp of your video 1:01:11, We are all vibrations searching to match each others base line frequintsys, thank you for being you and spreding your vibration and state of consiousness to this wourld.
The guys from Frank's era are the guys I think looked the best throughout the years as they were still healthy looking. I was six feet tall and very lean from my boxing training, and Frank was the best guy I could aspire to look like. Thats the build I was always after and once I stopped boxing, which was a ton of cardio I was able to put on muscle size in my basement with a cheap old York plastic weight set. After gaining the confidence to hit a public gym, and realizing the possibilities I started following others along with Zane. I had narrow shoulders mainly from genetics so was able to follow Larry Scott's advice on that issue, and a few others like Gary Strydom and Shawn Ray on shoulder training, I was able to make the gains that had eluded me to that point. I spent hours looking and reading through muscle mags at the time and Gaspari, Haney, Shawn Ray, Strydom, Mike Christian and the rest were all battling it out for the Olympia title. Those were good days and thanks to Frank Zane, Sergio, Arnold, Samir, Roy Callender, Waller, Mike Quinn, and of course, Lee Haney for their advice and training techniques. Later I became a big fan of Dorian Yates and his training techniques which were a far cry from Frank's routines, but very effective. I walked on stage eventually at 6' 218lbs in contest shape, then followed up with a Highland Games Athlete at 6' 275lbs on a frame built for a person more in the area of 175-180lbs. lol Thanks for all the tips and advice Frank, it was very much appreciated over the years. Regards.
Great video. The only interview I know of of Zane. Much respect for Zane. I didn't know he was this smart. Chemist. Damn. Smarter than me.
