Nothing new, but a good read:

One thing I thought was interesting was under Training Techniques:

Zane’s Method
This particular method was developed by former Mr. Olympia, Frank Zane in order to quickly improve any body part that lagged in development behind the rest of the muscle groups. It involves training that particular body part for 3 consecutive days with 25, 15, and 10 total sets respectively for the muscle group. This is followed by one day of rest followed by 2 consecutive days 25 and 4 sets respectively. This technique is followed for approximately 2 weeks (Kennedy & Weis, 1986).

THREE DAYS??????????

There shoots the theory of less = more

I bet CCJ would have something to say about that. I remember him talking about pushing the body into a nearly overtrained state, and then backing off. I forget what it's called, and the exact science behind it, but there may be a reason.

Either that, or Frank Zane just wanted to make up something to have his name out there.
