Every Bodybuilding enthusiast is on the lookout for the perfect workout. Getting shredded is indeed difficult. It requires some serious heavy lifting, literally. Bodybuilding requires years of practice, consistency, and nutrition. With the influx of social media, it has become easy for pros to share their exercise tips. Fitness enthusiasts can emulate their inspiration and get their perfect body. One such legend, 3x Mr. Olympia Frank Zane, recently posted an effective mantra for his followers.

Any tips given by Zane, the God of symmetry and proportionality, become an instant hit. Let us see what the pro had to share.

Frank Zane shares his thought on the ideal workout routine

The 3x Mr. Universe is helping people achieve their best shape. Muscle and Fitness Magazine awarded Zane the “Best Physique of All Time” title in 2015. Sharing his wisdom, he posted on Instagram regarding the best way to exercise. He wrote, “Practice the perfect workout, don’t talk it, or expect someone to do it for you.”

Further, the pro bodybuilder added, “Concentrate, be in the present time, and don’t talk while performing a set”. Zane is advocating focus and self-awareness while working out. It is important to cut the noise and focus on the set. He has often compared exercise to a meditative state. Through workouts, one can achieve an impressive body along with a Zen-like state. Zane also studied Buddhism and Zen to imbibe mindfulness in his bodybuilding practice

Exercise is a journey of personal transformation. A noiseless environment enables the practitioner to focus on their breathing technique and muscle group. 

Zane and the “Mind and Body Connection”

In his book Mind and Body Connection, he suggests a technique called body visualization. He asks to make a mental image of the desired body. Visualization helps in achieving the coveted symmetrical body. For Zane, the mind creates the right speech and action. The mind creates the life we want.

In the Somatic Primer podcast, the bodybuilder informed the interviewer that he meditates before a workout. Arnold Schwarzenegger, according to Zane, was also very focused, but he did not meditate. Zane likes to practice thoughtfulness while isolating his muscles. He suggests trainers not talk between sets or watch television. Mr. World’s insightful technique prevents injuries and improves the quality of performance. He also talks about “negative body metaphors” in the podcast. Words like “this makes me sick “ or “I can’t stand that” store negative energy in the body, causing injuries to those parts. 

Zane celebrated his 81st birthday on 28 June. We Wish him an exceptional year and hope; he shares his unique insight into bodybuilding with others. Do you think mind-body connections will enhance your performance?
