Frank Zane is a former professional bodybuilder who was active in the sport during the 1970s. He was born on June 28, 1942 in Kingston, Pennsylvania, and grew up in a athletic family. Zane began lifting weights at a young age, and eventually decided to pursue a career in bodybuilding.

Zane made his professional debut in 1967, and quickly became known for his impressive physique and symmetry. He was known for having a small waist and wide shoulders, which helped him stand out in a sport that often emphasizes size and mass. Zane was also known for his dedication to training and nutrition, which helped him achieve a high level of muscle definition and conditioning.

Over the course of his career, Zane won numerous titles, including the IFBB Mr. America and Mr. Universe titles. However, he is best known for winning three consecutive Mr. Olympia titles from 1977 to 1979, which is considered one of the most prestigious titles in bodybuilding.

In addition to his success in bodybuilding, Zane was also a successful author and nutritionist. He wrote several books on bodybuilding, nutrition, and training, including “The New Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding,” which is considered one of the definitive guides to the sport.

After retiring from competition, Zane continued to be involved in the bodybuilding community, and was inducted into the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness Hall of Fame in 1999. He is still remembered as one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time, and is credited with helping to popularize the sport in the 1970s.

Today, Zane is in his late 70s, and continues to be active in the bodybuilding community.
