Many bodybuilders still dream of sculpting a physique like the God of Aesthetics and three-time Mr. Olympia Frank Zane. He is known for his strict workout regime and always leads his fans in the right direction.

The three-time Mr. Olympia champion recently posted a post on his Instagram sharing the exercise split he used to follow back in the day that made Zane who he is right now. Let’s find out how the god of aesthetics used to train. 

The three-way split that the God of Aesthetic followed

The 81-year-old former bodybuilder captioned the image and workout as “Balanced Workout Split.” Zane divided his workout into a three-way split. On day one, he used to train and focus on his upper body by performing all the pulling exercises. Exercises like deadlifts, pull-downs, and pull-ups are considered pulling exercises. 

The three-time Mr. Olympia suggested a proper format for performing pulling exercises. He wrote, “You should do this in train, rest, train, train, rest format.” Further, the 81-year-old former bodybuilder explained that one should not train his upper body for two straight days in a row. He highlighted that this will lead to the wear of your shoulders.
