I know the title sounds funny but hear me out. This pic -

http://www.bodybuilding-pics.com/frank_zane/pages/Frankzane_130.htm

Is where I would like to be year round. In my ooinion this is a perfect form. I am very close to his size but with more BF obviously than frank. I'm not saying I want to compete or I am like frank zane FYI so no need to raz me. I just wonder since he is 5'9" 185, what do you think his bodyfat is in this pic or his non competition pics? I know I'm not wanting to be a HUGE MASS MONSTER!!!!! But this is true art to me and I have decided that I will forgo the monster sets, and just go for the zane wanna be body. :) Odd post I know, but we all have our ideal and any feedback or opinions on this is appreciated.

I'm a fan of the Zane physique.

You can't BE him... but you can have a goal of attaining a similar physique :)

I know I can't be him, he has hard work AND genetics, but thats where I am aiming for. I don't have a shrine to zane or anything......well not anymore. :p

No more than 10-11%BF

Thats what I was thinking no more than 11%, but I am usually not very good at guessing someones body fat. Like right now, I think I'm in the single digits. lol

He was always my favorite in physique form although I always followed the Mike Mentzer training principles.

Yeah the guys poses in competition....I swear is was like a greek statue.....well a really REALLY tan one with both arms anyways.
 
Zane in tht pick is probably about 8-9%bf or a little less

they say for rule of thumb you need to be like 12.5%or under to see all six abs then its like 8-9% your intercostils will start to show through. when you are at like 7% that is what the majority of the models (male) that you see in the m&f book are at when they do the foto shoot maybe less a mr olympia contender 2-4% @ comp. time!!
 
man, I'm pretty dissapointed in the zane website right now. I wrote an email to "him" just stating how much I appreciate his career and how he has been an inspiration to me to lose weight and get in shape. I did ask him one question about weights and I got a mass email back within 30 minutes suggesting I should buy his new book. :( Well, thats capitalism for you I guess but it sucks. I have some friends that wrote him and got a long personal reply. I guess he had to hire someone to answer all his mail.

I have decided I am now frank zane. You must all address me as such.
 
maybe Billy Zane
 
that pic is from a younger frank zane prob early 70's

frank managed to get down to 4% bf in 1979 at around 185lbs to win the bigO

i saw a pic later of frank from 1982 frank balloned up to 215 trying to keep up with the other bodybuilders but then frank looked really squared off and no longer as a attractive but def pretty massive and vascular also.

that pic of zane i think someone could achieve that naturally with modern day weight training, high protien and bodybuilding supplements over the counter.
