The uncrowned Mr. Olympia Shawn Ray and the three-times Mr. Olympia winner who defeated mighty Arnold Schwarzenegger, Frank Zane used to train together on several occasions. In one of these sessions, the God of Aesthetics revealed his special squats for his quads and showed Ray how to do them properly.

Frank Zane is known for his marvelous symmetry and has always worked for it as well. Thus, going in front of the mirror, the bodybuilder used to do these squats by isolating his quads and trying to make his physique magnificent yet symmetrical. Let us find out what this squat is all about.

Frank Zane’s sissy squats

In the latest Instagram post, Shawn Ray shared an old video clip of Frank Zane doing his leg exercises for his squats. When Ray asked which variation Zane was talking about, the God of Aesthetics stated, “Well, this is a device, I came up with a couple of years ago.” Then the bodybuilder explained what name he had given it, “I call it the leg blastser.”

Because Zane squatted heavy for many years, he started getting knee and lower back injuries towards the end, and the Leg Blaster was a better exercise alternative. He stated, “This device enables you to squat and have your hands free.” Then he also explained how it appears to be like a sissy squat. Zane reflected, “Sort of like a sissy squat where you lean back at your squat and go rock bottom. And then not quite all the way up.”

Although one might expect the God of Aesthetics with a balanced and symmetrical body to focus on all his body parts in a similar fashion, Frank Zane revealed another mantra.

Frank Zane’s philosophy about weaker body parts

Through one of his Instagram posts, Zane once revealed how one should focus on their weaker body parts before any other. He stated in the caption of his post, “Once you realize your weaker areas, start your workout with this body part. You will pay more attention to it and put greater effort into getting a great pump in the area.”

The bodybuilder also added that bodybuilders must work with those exercises which gives them a better pump. He wrote, “Use the exercises that give you the best pump and include these in your winter workouts.” Not only that, Zane also suggested easing up with exercises on those body parts which are already well developed, so as to maintain a balance.
