Frank Zane’s past mistakes teach him a new definition of fitness 

In the race to get a well-ripped body leaving rivals behind, the bodybuilding icon ended up making unsuitable diet and training choices that get him into trouble. In a recent interview, he confessed those mistakes and suggested his followers not repeat them. When Zane was asked about about his diet and training, he said, “Bulking up, training too heavy and getting injured. Just doing stupid stuff. A lot of times you push yourself too hard. It is difficult to know when you should rest and when you should push hard. That is the quandary that everyone wants to know.” 

Taking his wisdom into more depth, he said, “You really do not know anything, you don’t know if what you are doing is the thing to do. We do not have knowledge before things happen. We may have faith that something will work, because it worked for us in the past.”
