Frank Zane, the 3x Mr. Olympia is one of the most prominent bodybuilders in history to date. Zane was the apex of physical beauty, with his clean lines, the efficiency of size, and his perfect symmetry. Thus, his physique was a combination of strength, proportion, and excellence when it comes to aesthetics. Probably, that was the reason he is still hailed by fans as the ‘God of Aesthetics.’ Leanness was his ace card, he exhibited the physique that the common man dreams about, and even at the age of 81, he ensured to train regularly, and have a good diet. 

Frank Zane recently posted one of his videos from his training days on the page named @BodybuildingBeast, wherein he shows a squatting machine to build the quads. 

Frank Zane’s machine for training quads, and squatting

In the YouTube shorts, Frank Zane shows a device that was referred to as the Leg Blaster. He captioned the YT shorts as “Frank Zane reveals Leg Blaster. Transform your squats, eliminate knee pain, and isolate quads.” Moreover, he commences the video by saying, “Well this is the device I came up with a couple of years ago, I call it a Leg Blaster.” Zane used this device for training in his Olympia days to perform squats without any pain in the knee. 

Furthermore, he continues by saying, “And I squatted heavy for many years, toward the end I started getting knee pain and lower back injuries. This device enables you to squat and have your hands free, so you can hold on here to these handles and do sort of like a sissy squat. Where you lean back I just squat and go rock bottom and then not quite all the way up.” Hence, because of Leg Blaster, it became very easy to perform squats with heavy weights without getting any back injuries.

Zane’s training squats tougher than barbell squats

As Zane kept on exercising on his leg blaster, another person asked Frank Zane, “Do you normally do this like hooking in front of the mirror?” And Zane said,” Yeah.” While supporting Zane’s reply, the gym trainer responded, “Yes he’s going all the way down rock bottom coming up. He’s getting a really full range of motion, probably even deeper than you would if you did a barbell squat.” 

Thus, the conversation went on and took an interesting turn when Frank Zane was questioned, “Is it harder than a barbell squat?” Hence, Zane admitted that it was harder than a barbell squat which is almost about half the weight. Though, the weight was around 95 pounds, however, it felt like 200 pounds. What are your views on the Leg Blaster machine? Do comment below.
