My Experience training w/ Frank Zane in CA....

[punch]

Well at over 60 he looks great. Does he look like he did when he won the Olympia, NO. He is ripped and is still strong. One thing I took from meeting him is mortality. I often wonder if he has some personal demons. I mean could you imagine having your body admired by millions, being plastered on every fitness magazine, people gawking at you wherever you go!!! It must be tough to come to terms with. But, to have a man of his accomplishment share and give his knowledge( at a cost of course ) to others is what its all about.

Punch what was the rest time between sets? how long were the workouts and what is the split which he recommends for off season?

Punch, do you have anymore training info from your sessions with the Legend??? I know ALOT of the current strength coaches advocate the Time Under Tension rule. Most notably, Charles Poliquin...

This week I will get the routine he provided to me and post it in its entirety.
As for rest between sets, not much at all. In fact many of his sets are super sets, which cut down both time and increased intensity.

No worries man, If I heard someone trained with Arnold I'd be asking away also. Question is....Whats my wife gonna do for an encore. HEHEHEH

It is good to see that the master emphasizes the negatives, which to me are more important than the positives.

Thank you very much punch!
