What comes to mind when you see this pic?

[GeeNo]

what comes to mind is - lol to people thinking they can attain that without juice.. awesome physqiue

LOL! You think you CAN'T obtain that without juice? Are you ****ting me? Wow... It's no wonder so many people turn to steroids.

[ken_wright88]

its hard to ignore the facial hair along with the prophetic gaze.. I deduce a traditional christian connotation from the totality of the photograph, however, body alone is more reminiscent of Greco-Roman inspired art

lol.....

[Scuba19]

A lot of people put Zane down and say how small he was, and how his physique could be attained easily. Yes, he was on the smaller side, but pictures don't do most people justice. I think its safe to say that no one here has seen him up close in person during his competing days. Also, last time I checked no one here has won 3 Mr. Olympia contests

[Code_B]

Dustin Hoffman was buff back in the day

[Land Shark]

A God.. he looks like Keanu Reeves a little bit too lol... badass beard.

yea, Keanu Reeves was the first thing that came to mind to, i was like no way!, thats Ted Theodore Logan dude

[Bigdolf]

90% of the population, no. That would be a fairly hard physique to reach naturally for a normal person. Genetically gifted individuals, sure given quite a few years of proper training. Realsticlally, if your going to look anything like him your going to need a smaller bone structure overall, which rarely couples with the ability to pack on mass easily. His muscle bellies are also very good, his attachements are superb for the most part. Combine all this together and YES, his physique, while attainable im comparison to someone like Ronnie Coleman, is still very hard to achieve.

Looking at your stats you'd need another 20-25lbs of muscle or so to even have the lbm to approach that look. Unless you've got his bone structure add more, since he did a very good job of looking big at lower weights. Wanna guess how long it'll take you to add 20lbs naturally assuming you not super genetically gifted.... 2-3 years, maybe more.

Sorta looks like Ryan Reynolds with more facial and head hair, haha...

[John Prophet]

take away the trunks...give him a leather skirt, a sword and sandals and he'd be ready to slay a dragon

very classic physique.

if Michael Angelo or DaVinci sculpted or painted physiques for a million years theyd never sculpt Jay Cutler but theyd come close to sculpting Zane quite often

[]|[ GorE]

Jacked Keanu Reeves.

they would sculpt his physique because thats what they know to be humanly possible, they never thought that something like cutler is possible, so much mass on a human frame, davinci and michael angelo thought that the max you could have would be zane.

but back to the photo, he looks like a fitness model. look lets get this straight, its bodyBUILDING not body sculpting!!!

but Cutler's physique isn't humanly possible, it takes pharmaceuticals to attain. Also even if they did know it was attainable I'm sure they wouldn't sculpt a physique that large as the general public doesn't find it physically appealing, more than likely they'd still sculpt Zane like classic-ness

Nice tri's

Frank Zane's size itself is attainable for many males. He was not the most gifted necessarily in terms of size potential.

However you're right, his structure, muscle bellies, attachments, shape, symmetry are where his genetic gifts lie and he is heavily blessed with them. Most people do not have the genes to achieve a physique like that.

A couple things here. He said "lol to people thinking they can attain that without juice", so we can assume he meant his musculature - not his symmetry, bone structure, etc. as these are not affected by the use of anabolic steroids.

Second, right now I am sitting at 180 pounds at 9% bodyfat at 5'7.5. Do you realize how big 200 pounds is at that height? In respect to musculature alone, right now I am about the same size as him in that picture (maybe even a little bigger, especially in the legs), but he's a few percent leaner.

If you think that a good portion of the male population CAN'T attain that physique, you're crazy.

Pics would be nice. And even then we have no idea if you are really natural.

Zanes muscle mass is attainable for a natural, but his usual conditioning is not (with that muscle mass).

i am not following your logic, he is human and its his physique, hence humanly possible. yes it did take pharmaceuticals, i think what you meant is that its not naturally possible. anyway enough talking about semantics.

i think that if davinci and michael angelo were alive today they might go something more like jamie eason, instead of zane. now thats a statue i would like to see!!! but on a serious note i think they might sculpt a flex wheeler like physique than a zane physique.

[stealth_swimmer]

Frank Zane...duh


but really, that's what comes to my mind...cus it's Frank Zane.

[CBR007RR]

gilette

[Rippinit]

This pic shows that bodybuilding isnt just about how much the scale says. It is about the illusion you know. Im not exactly sure how much Zane weighed in at in his heyday, however when i look at this picture, how much he weighs is the furthest thing from my mind.

[realistromeo]

" DO THE CURTAINS MATCH THE DRAPES?" j/k i'd be very happy to achieve this level of conditioning.. my arms legs and shoulders equal his but i don't flow so well...

[FatAzz]

Why do people say swimmer ? I have never seen a swimmer who looks like that.

[White_Goodman]

nice skin...look how smooth it seems..thats the first thing i always notice

[S7R31F]

Sorta looks like Ryan Reynolds with more facial and head hair, haha...

exactly what I though...from ammityville horror or whatever it is

Because people are pretty stupid.
