zane vs arnold

[chazk]

a question about the two..

arnold was 6'2 235lbs 6% bf at his best
zane was 5'9 180lbs 4% bf at his best

being that arnold was 5 inches taller .
had a 5 big waiste 34 inches vs franks 29 inches
had 5 inch bigger arms 22 inches vs zanes 17 inch arms
and was 50lbs heavier....

so for zanes height and weight in proportion to arnold
zane was almost the same except chest size and zane had better conditioning.

so why was zane looked down at a runt with no mass ?. for his height he was ripped ,shredded,and has mass just not height had he been 6'2 he should have enlarged everything 5 inches height, arms ,stomach, legs and been around the same size as arnold but looking more symetric and conditioned

arnold just loooked better to the eyes....idk how else to put it. when you looked at the two of them arnold looked better.

imho arnold was the man, my goal is to be arnold type measurements at 6 foot. Jjay and ronnie (despite the fact that they are freaks of nature) are awesome, but i think arnold is more my goal

i dont think zane had that full dense musclr like arnold did.

i have also wondered this before. if zane was 6ft2 i think he would have looked awesome.

Shape, size, height, vibe. A lot of factors. But as far as I'm concerned you can't look any better than Zane circa 1971. Perfection.

I dont like how people say "ronnie and jay" because Gunter, Ruhl, most of them are roughly the same size.

Zane was never 4% , lowest my guess would be 6, that was on the best day,. Same with arnold. And my arms are 17 inches, Zane was tiny.

I'm not sure this is a fair comparison, instead of using raw inches "arnold has 5 inch bigger arms and is 5 inches taller..." look at it in %'s, this is more accurate IMO...

Height
Arnold 74 inches
Zane 69 inches

(74-69)/69 = 7.25% taller

Arms
Arnold 22
Zane 17

(22-17)/17 = 29.41% bigger arms

Waist
Arnold 34
Zane 29

(34-29)/29 = 17.24% bigger waist

Now using this comparison you can see that shrinking arnold down by 7.25% of his height he would be quite a bit larger than Zane...

So the question is, does Zane's 2% BF advantage (depending on wether or not it can be seen, different ppl wear fat differently...) give him the edge up on Arnolds size, the judges said no.

Young guns, how tall are you, how much do you weigh, and what is your BF... Zane was a specimen regardless, my arms are 17 inches too, but I don't look like he did.

Ok Zane was not 4 % he was not 2 % and if you think he was, David Henry came in at 0% bf this year.

Good breakdown. Personally, I think Zane looked like a bitch when compared to other bodybuilders. He had the physique most ladies like, but not the body that a bodybuilder is looking for (even in those times). I see some guys at my gym that are on par with Zane or close to him. His physique is much more attainable than most bodybuilders, but I think he looked puny next to the other guys. He wouldn't win a novice show today, as where Arnold may when a novice with his upper body.
