Frank Zane is hailed as the ‘God of Aesthetics’ in bodybuilding. From being a mathematics teacher to a bodybuilding icon, Zane’s journey is a tale of dedication and precise strategy. Even at the age of 81, Zane continues to defy age with his relentless dedication to the gym. He unveiled his ultimate training split for maximum gains in an exclusive interview on EssentiallySports FanCast.
When asked by host, Vishal Kolar if he still adheres to the same training split, Zane shared his routine, saying, “Pretty much, I do a three-way split, sometimes it’s a two-way split like upper body one day and legs another.” Despite his illustrious career, Zane continues to adapt his routine to suit his needs.
Frank Zane further revealed during the EssentiallySports Exclusive Interview that his training partner these days is none other than his wife. “I train a lot with my wife now,” he exclaimed. The man who defeated Arnold Schwarzenegger, was all praise for his wife as well. “She’s very disciplined, so it’s really good for me to train with her.” He also confessed that earlier he used to train with other gym partners, but now he does not as his wife brought more discipline into his regime. This partnership adds a personal touch to his workouts and reflects Zane’s commitment to staying active and fit alongside his beloved wife, Christine Zane.
