Frank Zane recently shared some of his favorite exercises on Instagram.
Frank Zane is one of the all-time greats in the sport of bodybuilding. He totaled three-straight Olympia victories from 1977-1979. It is no surprise that this iconic bodybuilder is still in the gym and doing it at 79 years old.
Zane recently shared one of his favorite exercises to do while training biceps. It is an incline-curl variation that is performed laying face down on an incline bench and having arms hanging down with the dumbbells in hand. Zane took to Instagram to share the video.
“This puts tension on your biceps right at the top. So you let the dumbbell hang down, and you curl up, and stop at the top and then go down slow,” Zane said in the video.
“You want to develop a rhythm when you’re doing them. Rhythm is what counts… You want to do about 10 reps… It’s a great exercise for peaking.”
Frank Zane is known for his battles with the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger. He has over two decades of experience on stage and when he speaks on exercises, it is wise to listen. This is not the only exercise that Zane has provided wisdom on. He does not post on social media much but when he does, it is to teach and share over 50 years of experience in training and bodybuilding.
Back in June of 2020, Zane gave some tips on how to build up your triceps. This was done without any special machines, which Zane said “no special equipment needed if you don’t have access to machines.”
Frank Zane is a legend in the bodybuilding world. He took home a Mr. America and Mr. Universe title in 1968 to go along with his three Olympias. Even though he is decades out of competition, Zane still has the mind and motivation to not only train himself but to share his knowledge with the next generation.
Zane has been motivating and inspiring weightlifters for years now and that is not going to change. Even at 79 years old, Zane has a lot to offer and he can help anyone better themselves by just listening to the words he has to say.
