Renowned bodybuilding icon Frank Zane, at the age of 81, unveiled the secret to fitness on the EssentiallySports FanCast. The conversation delved into various facets of bodybuilding, exploring Zane’s training routines, diet, cheat meals and even touching on the controversial victory of Arnold Schwarzenegger in the 1918 Mr.Olympia.

Host Vishal Kolar introduced a rapid-fire round as the interview progressed, seeking insights into Zane’s lifestyle, including the much-anticipated cheat meal revelation. When asked about his favorite indulgence, Zane’s response was nothing short of an astonishing three-word response. “I don’t cheat,” the God of Aesthetics exclaimed, showcasing his commitment to maintaining a lean and muscular physique.

Toward the end of the EssentiallySports Exclusive Interview, the host inquired about the three-time Mr. Olympia’s approach to cheat meals, even if he doesn’t have one. The bodybuilding legend, known for his discipline, countered with a surprising admission, “I don’t really look at it that way. It’s just basically what I’m used to doing. I know that if I don’t do that, I won’t feel as good.” Zane’s dedication to adhering to a professional bodybuilding diet remains unwavering even at 81.

Despite his resolute stance on avoiding cheat meals, Zane did offer a glimpse into his occasional indulgences, mentioning, “I might have ice cream every now and then, but if I do, it’s not very much. I might have a bit of wine, but if I do, it’s not very much.” These subtle deviations from the strict regimen highlight Zane’s nuanced approach to maintaining his physique while allowing himself occasional treats.

In Zane’s own words, his choices aren’t seen as cheating but rather as a continuation of his accustomed lifestyle. This perspective adds depth to his legendary status, emphasizing that his disciplined routine isn’t just a means to an end but an integral part of feeling good and staying true to his bodybuilding roots. This prompted another inquiry regarding his protein consumption.

Zane typically kicks off his day with eggs for breakfast, ensuring a protein-packed start.
