Frank Zane (born June 28, 1942[1]) is a retired American professional bodybuilder and author. Known as "The Chemist", Zane is a three-time Mr. Olympia winner, having won the competition every year from 1977 to 1979. He previously reigned as Mr. Universe in 1965, 1968, 1970, 1971 and 1972, and Mr. America in 1966, 1967 and 1968.[4] Typically competing at a bodyweight of less than 200lbs, he regularly placed higher than people much bigger than him. His physique is considered one of the greatest in the history of bodybuilding due to his meticulous focus on symmetry and proportion.[5] With one of the smallest, tightest waists in bodybuilding, he was renowned for his vacuum pose.[6]
Since his retirement from competitive bodybuilding in 1983, Zane has written several books on bodybuilding, operates a fitness mail order business, and teaches the Zane Experience program to clients.[7][8] He was inducted in the IFBB Hall of Fame in 1999.[1]
