Timeline

1942

Frank Zane (born June 28, 1942 ) is a retired American professional bodybuilder and author.

He is a three-time Mr. Olympia, and his physique is considered one of the greatest in the history of bodybuilding due to his meticulous focus on symmetry and proportion.

Zane was born in Kingston, Pennsylvania on June 28, 1942.

He started bodybuilding as a teenager after reading Muscle Magazine.

He went from 130 lb at 14 to 160 lb at 17 through weightlifting.

1964

In 1964, he received a Bachelor of Science from Wilkes University.

For 13 years, he taught mathematics and chemistry while living in Florida and California.

1965

He also taught mathematics and chemistry at Watchung Hills Regional High School (in New Jersey) for the 1965–1966 school year.

1977

He earned a bachelor's degree in psychology from California State University, Los Angeles in 1977.

Zane is a three-time Mr. Olympia (1977 to 1979).

His reign represented a shift in emphasis from mass to aesthetics.

Zane's physique featured the second-thinnest waistline of all the Mr. Olympias (after Sergio Oliva), with his wide shoulders making for a distinctive V-taper.

He stood at 5 ft and had a competition weight of less than 190 pounds when he won all three of his Mr. Olympias.

He was given the nickname "The Chemist" due to his Bachelor of Science degree and, as he puts it: "Back in the day I took a lot of supplements and tons of amino acids. Still do. But back then it was pretty unusual. That's how I got the nickname The Chemist."

He famously trained with light weights which saw him to many victories, but Joe Weider urged him to train with heavier weights.

Zane then found the size necessary for success at the Olympia.

1980

After his three consecutive Mr. Olympia titles came the 1980 Mr. Olympia.

Shortly before the competition he suffered a poolside accident in his home and lost 15 lb of muscle mass.

This ended his reign.

Arnold Schwarzenegger came out of retirement and won, with Zane in third; the outcome was highly controversial.

1983

Zane is one of only three men to have defeated Schwarzenegger (with Chester Yorton and Sergio Oliva) in a bodybuilding contest and one of the very few Mr. Olympia winners under 200 lb. Overall, he competed for over 20 years (retiring after the 1983 Mr. Olympia) and won Mr. America, Mr. Universe, Mr. World, and Mr. Olympia during his career.

1985

In 1985, Frank and his wife Christine owned and operated "Zane Haven" in Palm Springs, California where they conducted one-on-one sessions with clients who wished to possess a symmetrical physique.

Today, the Zanes live in San Diego, California, and his learning center is now called "Zane Experience".
