In the race of bodybuilding, bodybuilders often have to be extremely mindful of their habits and lesser goals. These steps would ultimately help them grow into a complete whole and help them in constructing the foundation of their achievements. The God of Aesthetics, who had made his name famous for having one of the greatest balanced physiques of all time, recently shared his insights on the subject.

The 81-year-old retired bodybuilder, Frank Zane, has always promoted the need to construct a symmetrical balanced body. So much so that, even after crossing 80 years of his life, he uses every possible way to make the world understand its necessities.
