He didn't respond to mine and it was a decent question. On the other hand why is it so hard to believe his arms were above 18 inch? they look about that much to me my arms are 17 inches and his look heaps bigger.
Bodybuilding is all about image not numbers, when you're up on stage your lifting stats and bodyfat % means nothing to the judges.

this is what i got e mailed back to me:
"I never took tape measurements nor measured percentage of body fat, because judging is based entirely on appearance. I took a lot of photos and I suggest you do the same. Consider getting my newest publication Zane Body Training Manual which answers your questions and more. Click on www.frankzane.com/books.htm
Good Luck,"
doesnt seem like a real response to me but i dont know. what do you think?

zane was awesome, but i think some people are a lil biased about his physique because he has 3 sandows (and well deserved sandows) to his name.
yet i believe the year samir won (1983) his physique was better than zane's anyday. and in my opinion...lee labrada, who never won the olympia, has a much superior physique than zane.myspace.com/eddierivera86

you always look smaller in pics then in real life, because pics are 2d and real life is a 3d image.. look at a pic of a pro on then go see what they look like in person..big diffrence.. zane would probably be huge in person and bigger then 99% of the people on this forum, give the guy some damn respect he was a mr. olympia, and 99% of you guys have never even stepped on stage.. you prolly just go and bench press every monday

ok first off tek is right igf and gh are not the same thing...but from what i've read gh is best injected sub cutaneously because it can spot reduce fat, igf can be injected intramusculary and to be honest, I don't know if IGF spot increase muscle size....I doubt it though, I haven't heard anything to prove that. But what gh and igf are capable of doing that is unique to them, is cause hyperplasia, the creation of new muscle fibers. Anabolic steroids, working out, food, creatine, everything else can only add to the size of muscle fibers, causing hypertrophy, GH and IGF can actually create new muscle fibers.
and to tek....I don't know what to tell you man....anybody can tell Frank Zane at his prime has 18-19 inch biceps, but he didn't measure...so I guess we can't know for sure...but hey, if you wanna believe he had 15 inch guns go ahead lol

Apparently IGF-1 will increase the volume of muscle fibres within the muscle, it wont directly increase the mass of the muscle, but indirectly it will to a certain extent (growth is limited) - at least thats what these guys, and knowledgable members on at least 2 other boards (excluding this one) think about it.
I havent seen any studies or articles on it, but there seems to be different facts posted in different places so *shrug*
