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.”

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.”

Fortunately, Zane had a trick up his sleeve. He said, “That’s everything really if you can handle the weight, you’re going to grow, that’s the bottom line. You know, everything else is sort of like leading up to that.”
