Getting valuable advice from veteran golden-era bodybuilders is a dream for many aspiring bodybuilding champions. Luckily, Mike O’Hearn, 4x Mr. Natural Universe, got the opportunity to get useful advice from legendary bodybuilder Frank Zane.
In a new YouTube video, O’Hearn gets golden advice directly from the mouth of 3X Mr Olympia who is currently 81 years old. The video features Mike talking to Zane about maintaining shape all year round even at an older age. Frank Zane decided to give a reality check to O’Hearn who is much younger than him.

Mike uploaded a new video named ‘Frank Zanes Year Round Shape| Can You Maintain It | Mike O’Hearn’. In this video, Zane starts advising Mike about fitness paralleling with age. He asks “You’re what Mike you are 52?” to which Mike answers, “Yeah 53, yeah .”
Zane then compliments O’Hearn and says, “You’re doing good for that age. I was in decent shape in my early 50s too. The older you get, the harder it gets and the less motivated I was to keep doing it….Because there’s you know, there’s no good reason to keep up, keep doing this.”
This is not the first time Mike has received an important tip from Zane, previously too, he got some serious intel on Frank’s ideas on ‘numbers’.

In a previous podcast on O’Hearn’s channel, Zane confessed how he was not the strongest man in the game and told, “You know, I mean, I was never the strongest guy but I found ways to get the most out of the weights that I used by having good form and doing slow negatives and you now, stretching between sets, and lot of posing too.”
