- Опубликовано: 2 дек 2019
- In an exclusive interview for the Escape Your Limits podcast, Mr. Olympia and bodybuilding legend Frank Zane reveals the history of muscle, Pumping Iron with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and even his own mortality.
======================================================
Interview Highlights:
• Why Frank Zane chose not to play a bigger role in the filming of Pumping Iron with Arnold Schwarzenegger and other bodybuilding greats.
• How to overcome failure, even when you’ve failed to the point of your own embarrassment, and how to come back stronger every time.
• What Frank Zane dreams of, and how he interprets these dreams to influence his own experiences.
• The origins of Muscle Beach, and why it moved from its original location.
• Discover the training schedule that Frank Zane and other bodybuilding and Mr Olympia greats worked each week, and why Frank feels that it was too intense in hindsight.
• The importance of documenting your goals and saying them out loud to teach your brain the secret of winning.
• How posing is an art form and why many don’t appreciate this world of kinetic sculpture, instead thinking it’s narcissism.
• How Frank Zane personally dealt with losing, why perseverance will beat anything, and how important it is to stick to your goals even when you don’t achieve them first time around.
• How meditation will empty your mind to allow you ideas and concepts to enter and aid your progress.
• A deep dive into the complexities and details of mindset from a multiple-time Mr Olympia.
• The importance of not using “powerless speech” or language that removes your control over yourself and your actions.
• Why you need to take photos of yourself - good and bad - so that you can observe your body as the world does and work on improving your physique, your mindset or both.
• What the three poisons are that hold us back in everything we do.
• How the awareness of lifeforms that have come before us manifest in our own subconsciousness, and how they continue to exist, life after life.
• How the prospect of death can be scary, but realising ways in which you can understand your mind and how it affects how you feel about longevity.

After 50 minutes the interview goes to another level. The barriers come down and both men open up.
Damn that is one of the best Frank Zane's interviews online, thank you for that!
I'll never forget going to Frank's seminar in Tarpon Springs, Florida back in the 80's. He had fallen off his bicycle and injured his shoulder and had an operation so he had to sign photos left handed. He was very gracious and informative.
Frank really nailed it as the epitome of what bodybuilding should be.
This is the best interview I have ever watched so far on Frank Zane,so much depth and knowledge not only on bodybuilding ,this shows a spectrum of frankszanes personality. Just excellent! Reincarnation - matter - state of mind- meditation -float tanks - ect
You really had to love bodybuilding back in the day to be a pro. Basically bodybuilding for free and working a full time job to sustain that life style.
great comment! I think that's why you see the positive vibe back in the day about training in the 70's era. When money comes in that is when everything changes. You don't see that stuff now a days when everything is about money and pro cards and such. Back in those days there was (at least it seemed like it anyway) a kind of an innocence about it. A wanting to do it for the love of it and not just to make a million dollars. I could be dead wrong but I don't think I am. Guys like Frank did it for the love and not just to get rich quickly. Sure the money came eventually but not at the beginning. But seriously how cool is this interview! Frank is like a buddhist and not at all pretentious about it. You can take stuff from what he is saying and apply it to whatever you are doing in like (not just body building ) he is awesome!
@@uneedtherapy42 body building is still like that in a lot of ways. I think with the way the internet has been though has turned everything and everybody into a marketing tool where they use themselves to sell they're own or someone else's products so it comes off less genuine.
Bodybuilding legend!💪🏼💪🏼 Thank you for the interview. 🙏🏼
My favorite bodybuilder or all Time. And a smart Guy too...
This needs way more views
Frank's still kicking and looking healthy at 70 plus. Where as all those teenage mutant ninjas turtles from 90s to 10s are dropping below 50 years of age. Use, dont abuse.
He looks alright. He looks his age in my opinion.
@@axelstone3131 ur smoking major crack
@@axelstone3131 he is turning 80 next year lmfao
@@Mr500248 he looks 67 yo
Ronnie Coleman is a prime example of someone who took it too far and now look can't walk he's in a wheelchair.
Came for bodybuliding knowldge and endedn up learning a lot on phliosphy of life. But I am not complaning I am actually really amazed by his beliefs and way of thinking. Also the philosophy really brings the body in the sense how he developed it.
“I don’t need those people” .....this is huge 😍
My EXACT thoughts
I Can never get enough of the podcasts.... simply awesome...yes..life is a simple transition..transenance....to another life form...everything is monastic..esoteric...thank you frank...
Faith , The substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Living legend, I'm impressed how good he is looking
I love that Frank's still into his gadgets. The guy was a radical back in the day for highlighting the effects of various sounds, lights, meditative tools; however, a lot of what he said then, is now the hot thing on the marketplace today. Thanks for the interview.
As teacher he is interested in technology
Very good, inspiring discussion with one of the few, great bodybuilders.
Thanks.
Fantastic interview. Thank you!
Excellent. Absolutely a great philosophy for training and life (mantras, positivity).
In the early 80s in Johannesburg South Africa ,, the most exclusive Eastgate Shopping Centre opened ...and a new gym opened in the centre ...All the windows were blinded ..... all they did to advertise the gym was ,, 2 massive posters of Frank Zane at his best ... very few people had ever seen a picture of a living superman back then .....was very inspiring , those pics caused me to lift iron from 1986 to today .... Thanks Frank
zane is an absolute legend.
wonderful interview . Great person inside and out !
Hey Frank Zane fans! Want to get a Frank Zane Body? We just released another exclusive interview with the man himself: ruclips.net/video/yZthBN25ebA/видео.html
Well done on these interviews with Frank Zane. One of the golden era legends of bodybuilding.
They should create a marble statue of Frank Zane to live in memorium with the greeks. He without questions was one of the all time greats of this sport and an intellectual to boot.
I love watching Zane’s interviews.
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏿
This interview is too short ....... great wisdom and honesty 👏👏
what a gift this video is. how beautiful is life
22:48 Shots fired at Arnold for taking judges to dinner lol
Everyone wanted to be around arnold anyways
He could have been a movie star like Arnold arnold isn't much taller if at all. Hollywood just passed him by
QA
An intelligent bodybuilder, very rare. As opposed to others he IS a man in FULL.
Great interview
Brilliant interview
What a guy ❤️
Awesome interview sir
Frank’s very intelligent
So are you too.
Wow, a male bodybuilder that actually is able to grow old naturally. Call the Nat Geo, quick!
I liked the bit on GI Gurdjieff another true master!
I remember when Franco was posing with others you can briefly see Zane doing a lunging pose I believe.
That's the only part I remember see Frank Zane in Pumping Iron but there may have been another scene
There is another scene where he and Christine are walking around with Arnold and some of the others at a park.
@@ajaxdragon8791 interesting I'll go back and look for that
Frank is awesome!
Great!
Pound for pound the best body builder ever.....
Class act!
I’ve learned so much from frank zane he is the man .
I love it, very conscious man, his philosophy works :)
The best motivation for me is when he said “working by yourself” these days u just can’t find people who want to commit and trust them when it comes to working out and going to the gym.
Presumably you could find such people at the gym. 🤔
@@TIMHARTTT haha. I've never been to one, so I can't really recommend it. It would feel strange to me, to work out with other people around.
Frank Zane, the most incredible physique in history, case closed!
that, or 212 lbs Serge Nubret (2 weeks prior/before 1975 Mr Olympia)
@@KootBear Nubret was incredible yes! Should have won the O several times
Did anybody else notice that at 0:26 seconds in, the Mr. Universe trophy is misspelled? It says "Univese"!
Frank is a Legend
Bodybuilding genius
Matt, what is the watch your wearing please - many thanks 🙏🏼
It is a Panerai.
It’s a darude sandstorm
I call him the sculptor of body building
Wow!
Los mejores Mr Olympia son los de lo 70s
I had know idea! He was my HERO! In the 80s! I was just asking myself what happened to him!
What an interesting guy
Thanks for this interview! Frank Zane is w legend! please improve the audio volume, mu headphones are on max and it's hard to hear Frank, the interviewer audio volume is ok
What an Interesting, Intelligent bloke
This is genius, a pro, well-educated bodybuilder. A master in his field.
Winnipeg Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦
Genius
The chemist.
Some of the closed caption is really wacky...
Glad he is healthy and alive.
💘
From now on! Will be better or the same.
Brother Frank, if you competed in 1981 you would have won.
Frank said “ ya need to get with the program, everyone be on some bullshit!
How about Francis Benfatto??
Bob Paris on juice ❤️👌🏻
That god dam fly 🪰
Frank is king.

Imagine having a 3 time olympia Grandpa
31:30
Mass monsters ruined BB, people like Dorian Yates etc
After Zane…..the Abyss😢
All these classic bodybuilders are in complete understanding with their mental healthy and psychology even if they don’t realize it. Especially frank, Arnold, Franco.
Algo comment gotta go I'll be back
Pumping Iron without Frank Zane was a disappointment.
Zane is a cool guy he’s from my hometown master of bodybuilding . However Jesus is real just letting you know Frank . Natural pro champion Tony D
Because Arnold told them it will be Colombo .. We all know it
Zane could have handed the reins over to Mike Mentzer in the 1980 Olympia, but Arnold ripped off the competition in a farce.
The fear that Frank had, I had at one point too. I was scared of death. Not knowing what comes next after this short life can be a very heavy burden to carry, especially when people do things in life they shouldn’t have and want forgiveness. Get your questions answered!
Life Has Many Choices
Eternity Has Two
What’s Yours?
We are all lost in sin.
Jesus bridged the gap to offer you new life. Jesus is the one way to Heaven.
Nice interview.
Frank Zane was a great bodybuilder and has amazing knowledge on training, nutrition and contest prep.
Unfortunately, however, he is spiritually lost. Time to repent pent Frank and get right with God while you still have time.
"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me' " (John 14:6)..
Rip Frank
Frank looks every bit his age. Considering he says he still does his training and nutrition.
I've seen people in 50s that look like him.
I like Frank but damn his beliefs are really strange lol
obvious his genetics got him where he was in spite of his methods, not because of them. like arnold.
His beliefs (with all due respect) do not square with reality
Q
I am gay but was closeted until 1973 .I can't imagine what it would have been like if a muscleman would have been my math teacher in high school if I had lived in Pennsylvania like Mr zane. I probably would not have been able to concentrate on anything serious in the classroom. MayBE mr zane beiNG so amazINgLY handsome ÀND muscular WOULD have forced me out of the closet in high school or I would have at least needed to transfer to an unattractive male or a female teacher1
Math was not my favourite subject but I wonder if Mr zane had been my math teacher if I would have worked a lot harder at math to try to get Mr zane to like me. He went on to be the brainiac with an MA in psychology so if the man with movie star voice and stunning looks was, the one I chose to come out to I think he would have been professional about it
Frank Zane and Uncle Joe Biden are the same age, but Frank has all his marbles.
All people born in Cancer zodiac sign are very intuitive.
That fake Panerai is hurting my eyes...
This dude is a nerd😂
If I had been lucky enough to have had the future Mr Olympia as math teacher it could have been beneficial even though he,was heterosexual with a gorgeous wife He got his MA in psychology so he should have been understanding about my gayness but Buddhists like him aren't automatically gay positive any more than fundamentalist Christians. All the same having him as my teacher could have been enough to drive me nuts with frustration because all I could do to look more like him was intense biking chinups maybe pushups forearm dips. ----. I had scoliosis and could never do the free weights to try to look like him. Also I might have wanted to be like him so much that I could have pushed my homosexuality farther to the back burner
I am still christian after all these years and Love church going even if some Christians like two former lutheran ministers didn't really want me there in their parishes but if Mr zane had been my math teacher I might have tried to be Buddhist just to have something in common with him
@@ronwelker3804 Ron I will be praying for you. But the reply above on the way to heaven is. You must believe in God the Father.Only through him that you will be saved!
Tiny muscles. How can you be three times Mr.O with that body. Looks like Stallone.
Not everything is about maximum mass. His aesthetics/conditioning/symmetry/definition were outstanding.
Frank Zane is wise beyond his years.
