Frank Zane’s unusual way of tracking progress

Taking to his Instagram earlier this year, the American pro seized the opportunity to influence his champion strategy to his fans and the community. He tried to emphasize how taking continuous pictures of themselves can help out bodybuilders to keep a firm record of their shortcomings. 

Taking photos can also help them reassess the modifications made, and work towards building a better aesthetically pleasing physique. “Because those pictures can better help you track your progress and objectively judge, the way you look, than standing in front of the mirror,” the note in the caption stated.
