Out of all the competitions in the world, bodybuilding stays apart as a unique one. Athletes train for years to perfect their bodies and develop muscular mass. Likewise, athletes who train for competitions are understood as bodybuilders. In professional competitions like the Mr. Olympia event, bodybuilders stand on the stage, posing for various parts of their bodies. Judges rank them based on their symmetry, muscularity, size, conditioning, posing, and stage presentation. There are various competitions in bodybuilding but the Mr. Olympia contest stands apart from the rest.

<h2>History of bodybuilding</h2>
Old Greeks became the inspiration for people to start bodybuilding. After that, modern competitions came up from various theatrical acts and other circus acts. They held the first <a href="https://www.britannica.com/sports/bodybuilding" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contest</a> in 1903 in New York. The winner of the competition was Al Treloar and dubbed "The Most Perfectly Developed Man in the World." Significantly, organizers saw potential in that and the start of the Mr. America contest showcased some of the best talents. The rise of various bodybuilders across the globe saw the Mr. Universe event come into place and it became the main event for over 25 years. But, the late 1970s saw Joe Weider come up with a grand plan and create the Mr. Olympia contest.

<h2>Mr. Olympia contest</h2>
The contest that captured the minds of fans was the Mr. Olympia contest under the International Federation of Bodybuilding &amp; Fitness. Weider helps these bodybuilders to earn money by competing in events. They held the first competition on September 18, 1965, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York City. Larry Scott won the first two titles. Moreover, the bodybuilders with the highest number of titles are Lee Haney and Ronnie Coleman. In the meantime, to make their entry into the market, the famous documentary, Pumping Iron, saw the buildup to the 1975 Mr. Olympia contest. It helped athletes like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno, and Franco Columbu.
<h2>Famous bodybuilders</h2>
There are several bodybuilders to grace the grand stage. But some bodybuilders achieved greatness with their astonishing bodies.
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Arnold Schwarzenegger: </strong></li>

The Austrian bodybuilder is one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time. The Austrian Oak is a seven-time bodybuilding champion and became an influential personality in the business.

 	<li><strong>Ronnie Coleman:</strong></li>
</ul>
Dubbed to be the greatest bodybuilder of all time, Ronnie Coleman put his life and soul into the sport.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Who is Arnold Schwarzenegger?</b></h2>
A man of many talents, Arnold Schwarzenegger is a true icon. Beginning his legendary career as a bodybuilder, Arnold Schwarzenegger cemented himself in different realms, be it acting, business, or politics. He was once the highest-paid actor in Hollywood, with The Terminator being one of his most famous roles.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Arnold Schwarzeneggerâ€™s early life</b></h2>
On July 30, 1947, Arnold Schwarzenegger was born to a police chief and a homemaker, named Gustav and Aurelia, in a tiny village in Thal, Austria. He grew up in a Catholic household with strict parents. Though he excelled in sports, academically, he was an average student.

Until the age of 14, he played soccer. It was in 1960 that he took his first step toward becoming a bodybuilder when his soccer coach took him to the local gym and introduced him to the world of bodybuilding.

After finishing high school in 1965, Schwarzenegger enlisted himself in the Austrian military. It was here, that he won his first bodybuilding contest, Mr. Junior Europe. Schwarzenegger has never looked back ever since.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Arnold Schwarzenegger's wife and children</b></h2>
While in Austria, Arnold Schwarzenegger's family consisted of four members. Apart from his parents, Schwarzenegger had an elder brother named Meinhard Schwarzenegger, who unfortunately passed away in a traffic collision in 1971 at the age of 24. Years after moving to America, Arnold Schwarzenegger married television journalist and American royalty, Maria Shriver. The wedding took place in Hyannis, Massachusetts on April 26, 1986.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Arnold Schwarzeneggerâ€™s career timeline</b></h2>
In 1960, Arnold Schwarzenegger initiated his weight training journey under the guidance of his football coach, who led the team to a local gym. Making a pivotal decision at the age of 14, he opted for bodybuilding as a career over football. Throughout his early years in bodybuilding, Schwarzenegger actively participated in Olympic weightlifting and powerlifting competitions. He marked his professional debut in 1963 and secured victories in weightlifting contests in 1964 and 1965, along with powerlifting triumphs in 1966 and 1968.

Among his early successes was winning the Junior Mr. Europe contest in 1965, followed by claiming the title of Mr. Europe the next year at the age of 19.

While pursuing his bodybuilding career, Arnold Schwarzenegger also gave his childhood dream a shot. In 1969, he landed the role of Hercules in the fantasy comedy, Hercules in New York. However, due to his thick Austrian accent, Schwarzenegger's dialog in his debut movie was dubbed by another actor.

Nearly a decade later, his bodybuilding-centric sports documentary, Pumping Iron, was released in 1977. The movie was well received not only in Hollywood but in the entire bodybuilding world. This film's success turned him into a household name. Apart from Schwarzenegger's popularity, the film also helped popularize bodybuilding.

After this, Schwarzenegger starred in the 1980s film series, Conan The Barbarian. The first installment of the 3-movie film series was released in 1982. Made on a budget of $20 million, the film performed immensely well, earning $68.9-79.1 million at the box office. However, this wasn't the role that helped him break through in the international market.

The Terminator, released in 1984, was what made Arnold Schwarzenegger an internationally acclaimed actor. With a budget of merely $6.4 million, The Terminator grossed a whopping 78.3 million at the box office. Directed by James Cameron, this science fiction movie was well-received by the audience. Its initial success laid the foundation for its next 5 sequels that were released over the next few decades, the last being in 2019.

While it is undoubtedly one of his most famous movies, <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-bodybuilding-news-millionaire-arnold-schwarzenegger-admitted-having-lost-25-million-on-a-controversial-movie-despite-it-earning-85-million-at-the-box-office-in-1991/" target="_self" rel="noopener">this wasn't the movie that earned him the heftiest paycheck</a>. The 1988 film named 'Twins' was the one that helped him make the big bucks. However, it wasn't a direct paycheck deal. Instead of getting paid while filming the movie, Schwarzenegger had cracked a deal to have a share of 45% of the profits. With the $18 million movie earning $216 million at the theaters, Schwarzenegger's income is estimated to be around $35-40 million dollars.

Despite his enormous success in the film industry, when the time came to move on to his next endeavor, Arnold Schwarzenegger quit acting. In 2003, Arnold Schwarzenegger pulled the plugs on his acting career in order to try his hands at politics.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's political career officially began in 2003 when he ran for the office of Governor of California. It was a recall election that Schwarzenegger won, and took office for the remaining term (2003-2007) of the then-governor Gray Davis. The Republican Party member was re-elected in 2006 and served another term from 2007 to 2011.

Arnold Schwarzenegger made a comeback to Hollywood and featured in movies such as The Expendables 2, The Last Stand, and Terminator: Dark Fate. He continued to uphold his dedication to bodybuilding and fitness through his collaboration with Lorimer. In recognition of his significant contributions, Schwarzenegger was honored with induction into the inaugural class of the International Sports Hall of Fame in 2012.

In 2023, Arnold Schwarzenegger broadened his fitness initiative by introducing a daily email newsletter for subscribers and unveiling his "Arnoldâ€™s Pump Club" app. Additionally, he became part of the cast for the Netflix series FUBAR and became the focal point of a three-part documentary titled "Arnold," scheduled for release on June 7, 2023.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Arnold Schwarzeneggerâ€™s partnerships and endorsements</b></h2>
Arnold Schwarzenegger endorses several companies, including Dimensional Fund Advisors, Lidl, Planet Hollywood, and State Farm Insurance. I

In 2018, Arnold Schwarzenegger collaborated with basketball player LeBron James to create Ladder, a company focused on developing nutritional supplements designed to assist athletes dealing with severe cramps.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Arnold Schwarzeneggerâ€™s achievements</b></h2>
After the Mr. Junior Europe title, Schwarzenegger won the Mr. Universe title in 1967, followed by three more titles, thereafter. After his win in 1967, he moved to California and trained to compete for Mr. Olympia. He was 23 years old when he won his first Mr. Olympia title in 1970. Those rigorous workouts and training fetched him six consecutive Mr. Olympia titles from 1970 to 1975.

After the 1975 Mr. Olympia title, he retired from bodybuilding and shot his documentary, Pumping Iron. However, he soon returned to bodybuilding in 1980 to compete and won his seventh Mr. Olympia title. With this glorious curtain call, Schwarzenegger moved on from his bodybuilding career.

Arnold Schwarzenegger: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, Wife and More Who is Arnold Schwarzenegger? A man of many talents, Arnold Schwarzenegger is a true icon. Beginning his legendary career as a bodybuilder, Arnold Schwarzenegger cemented himself in different realms, be it acting, business, or politics. He was once the highest-paid actor in Hollywood, with The Terminator being one of his most famous roles. Arnold Schwarzeneggerâ€™s early life On July 30, 1947, Arnold Schwarzenegger was born to a police chief and a homemaker, named Gustav and Aurelia, in a tiny village in Thal, Austria. He grew up in a Catholic household with strict parents. Though he excelled in sports, academically, he was an average student. Until the age of 14, he played soccer. It was in 1960 that he took his first step toward becoming a bodybuilder when his soccer coach took him to the local gym and introduced him to the world of bodybuilding. After finishing high school in 1965, Schwarzenegger enlisted himself in the Austrian military. It was here, that he won his first bodybuilding contest, Mr. Junior Europe. Schwarzenegger has never looked back ever since. Arnold Schwarzenegger&#8217;s wife and children While in Austria, Arnold Schwarzenegger&#8217;s family consisted of four members. Apart from his parents, Schwarzenegger had an elder brother named Meinhard Schwarzenegger, who unfortunately passed away in a traffic collision in 1971 at the age of 24. Years after moving to America, Arnold Schwarzenegger married television journalist and American royalty, Maria Shriver. The wedding took place in Hyannis, Massachusetts on April 26, 1986. The couple has four children, namely Katherine, Christina, Patrick, and Christopher Schwarzenegger. However, the two ended their marriage and parted ways in 2011 after Schwarzenegger&#8217;s alleged infidelity came to light.

In movies, Arnold earned $2 million for &#8220;Commando&#8221;, $3.5 million for &#8220;Predator&#8221;, $11 million for &#8220;Total Recall&#8221;, and $12 million for both &#8220;Kindergarten Cop&#8221; and &#8220;Terminator 2&#8221;. In Terminator 2, Arnold only had 700 words of dialogue, equating to $21,429 per spoken word. At his peak, Schwarzenegger earned $20 million to $30 million per movie. He receives royalties from various projects, with Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines being a notable example.

Additionally, he holds numerous real estate investments and has ownership interests in Dimensional Fund Advisors and Columbusâ€™ Easton Town Center.   Arnold Schwarzeneggerâ€™s career timeline In 1960, Arnold Schwarzenegger initiated his weight training journey under the guidance of his football coach, who led the team to a local gym. Making a pivotal decision at the age of 14, he opted for bodybuilding as a career over football. Throughout his early years in bodybuilding, Schwarzenegger actively participated in Olympic weightlifting and powerlifting competitions. He marked his professional debut in 1963 and secured victories in weightlifting contests in 1964 and 1965, along with powerlifting triumphs in 1966 and 1968. Among his early successes was winning the Junior Mr. Europe contest in 1965, followed by claiming the title of Mr. Europe the next year at the age of 19.

(Photo by Jack Mitchell/Getty Images) While pursuing his bodybuilding career, Arnold Schwarzenegger also gave his childhood dream a shot. In 1969, he landed the role of Hercules in the fantasy comedy, Hercules in New York. However, due to his thick Austrian accent, Schwarzenegger&#8217;s dialog in his debut movie was dubbed by another actor. Nearly a decade later, his bodybuilding-centric sports documentary, Pumping Iron, was released in 1977. The movie was well received not only in Hollywood but in the entire bodybuilding world. This film&#8217;s success turned him into a household name. Apart from Schwarzenegger&#8217;s popularity, the film also helped popularize bodybuilding. After this, Schwarzenegger starred in the 1980s film series, Conan The Barbarian. The first installment of the 3-movie film series was released in 1982. Made on a budget of $20 million, the film performed immensely well, earning $68.9-79.1 million at the box office. However, this wasn&#8217;t the role that helped him break through in the international market. The Terminator, released in 1984, was what made Arnold Schwarzenegger an internationally acclaimed actor. With a budget of merely $6.4 million, The Terminator grossed a whopping 78.3 million at the box office. Directed by James Cameron, this science fiction movie was well-received by the audience. Its initial success laid the foundation for its next 5 sequels that were released over the next few decades, the last being in 2019. While it is undoubtedly one of his most famous movies, this wasn&#8217;t the movie that earned him the heftiest paycheck. The 1988 film named &#8216;Twins&#8217; was the one that helped him make the big bucks. However, it wasn&#8217;t a direct paycheck deal. Instead of getting paid while filming the movie, Schwarzenegger had cracked a deal to have a share of 45% of the profits. With the $18 million movie earning $216 million at the theaters, Schwarzenegger&#8217;s income is estimated to be around $35-40 million dollars. Despite his enormous success in the film industry, when the time came to move on to his next endeavor, Arnold Schwarzenegger quit acting. In 2003, Arnold Schwarzenegger pulled the plugs on his acting career in order to try his hands at politics. Arnold Schwarzenegger&#8217;s political career officially began in 2003 when he ran for the office of Governor of California. It was a recall election that Schwarzenegger won, and took office for the remaining term (2003-2007) of the then-governor Gray Davis. The Republican Party member was re-elected in 2006 and served another term from 2007 to 2011. Arnold Schwarzenegger made a comeback to Hollywood and featured in movies such as The Expendables 2, The Last Stand, and Terminator: Dark Fate. He continued to uphold his dedication to bodybuilding and fitness through his collaboration with Lorimer. In recognition of his significant contributions, Schwarzenegger was honored with induction into the inaugural class of the International Sports Hall of Fame in 2012. In 2023, Arnold Schwarzenegger broadened his fitness initiative by introducing a daily email newsletter for subscribers and unveiling his &#8220;Arnoldâ€™s Pump Club&#8221; app. Additionally, he became part of the cast for the Netflix series FUBAR and became the focal point of a three-part documentary titled &#8220;Arnold,&#8221; scheduled for release on June 7, 2023. Arnold Schwarzeneggerâ€™s partnerships and endorsements Arnold Schwarzenegger endorses several companies, including Dimensional Fund Advisors, Lidl, Planet Hollywood, and State Farm Insurance. I In 2018, Arnold Schwarzenegger collaborated with basketball player LeBron James to create Ladder, a company focused on developing nutritional supplements designed to assist athletes dealing with severe cramps. Arnold Schwarzeneggerâ€™s achievements After the Mr. Junior Europe title, Schwarzenegger won the Mr. Universe title in 1967, followed by three more titles, thereafter. After his win in 1967, he moved to California and trained to compete for Mr. Olympia. He was 23 years old when he won his first Mr. Olympia title in 1970. Those rigorous workouts and training fetched him six consecutive Mr. Olympia titles from 1970 to 1975. After the 1975 Mr. Olympia title, he retired from bodybuilding and shot his documentary, Pumping Iron. However, he soon returned to bodybuilding in 1980 to compete and won his seventh Mr. Olympia title. With this glorious curtain call, Schwarzenegger moved on from his bodybuilding career. Here are some of his major achievements: 1966 Mr. Europe â€“ Winner 1966 NABBA Mr. Universe â€“ Tall, Second Place 1967 NABBA Mr. Universe â€“ Winner 1968 IFBB Mr. Universe â€“ Second Place 1968 NABBA Pro Universe â€“ Winner 1969 IFBB Mr. Europe â€“ Winner 1969 IFBB Mr. International â€“ Winner 1969 IFBB Mr. Olympia â€“ Second Place 1969 IFBB Universe â€“ Winner 1969 NABBA Pro Universe â€“ Winner 1970 IFBB Mr. Olympia â€“ Winner 1970 NABBA Pro Universe â€“ Overall Winner 1970 AAU Mr. World â€“ Winner 1971 IFBB Mr. Olympia â€“ Winner 1972 IFBB Mr. Olympia â€“ Winner 1973 IFBB Mr. Olympia â€“ Winner 1974 IFBB Mr. Olympia â€“ Winner 1975 IFBB Mr. Olympia â€“ Winner 1980 IFBB Mr. Olympia â€“ Winner Arnold Schwarzeneggerâ€™s charity and foundation Beyond his achievements in bodybuilding, acting, and politics, Arnold Schwarzenegger has been actively involved in various charitable endeavors. He not only lends support to charitable causes but has also initiated the Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative, a foundation dedicated to raising awareness about the climate crisis and emphasizing the urgent need for action daily.

In September 2006, he signed the Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006. The purpose of the act was to cut the emissions to what they were in 1990 by 2020. These activities contributed to California&#8217;s position as a global leader in tackling climate change, fostering renewable energy, and developing creative environmental solutions.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9"><strong>Frank Zane: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, Wife and more</strong></h2>
In the history of bodybuilding, only two people can claim to have beaten the legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger. Frank Zane is one of them. The bodybuilding icon who shocked the Austrian Oak in 1968 also taught him a thing or two about training. From a maths teacher to winning the Mr. Olympia title consecutively for three years, Zane has always held on to his biggest asset, humility. Willing to learn, as much as he was willing to teach, Frank Zane remains a student of bodybuilding even at 81.

The former Mr. Universe was among the few Mr. Olympia champions who competed against and defeated bodybuilders who were taller and heavier than him. Zane's dedication toward all aspects of bodybuilding including posing, symmetry, and proportions earned him the moniker of the King of Aesthetics. Always on top of the latest developments in exercise and diet. His research and application of what he learned also made Frank Zane, The Chemist ofÂ bodybuilding.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Frank Zane's Early Life</h2>
Born to Adam F. Zane and Laura, strong protestants in their community, Frank Zane was brought up alongside his younger brother in Kingston, Pennsylvania. Subject to bullying in the earlier years of his life, Zane's fragile body made him decide to focus on building his physique. Zane took to sports like football, baseball, and basketball. However, it was at the age of 14 that Zane stepped foot into bodybuilding.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1347577" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Frank-Zane.jpg" alt="" width="1627" height="900" />

After completing high school, Zane obtained a degree in Mathematics from the Wilkes University in Pennsylvania and also gained a Master's in Experimental Psychology from the California State University.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Frank Zane's Wife and Children</h2>
After meeting Christine in Florida in 1966 at a bodybuilding event, the two got married the next year. A former weightlifter herself, Christine retired from the sport after winning the Miss Universe Bikini Crown in 1970 to focus on studies and art. Her focus on art led to a Master's degree in Fine Arts with skills in painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, and jewelry. While the couple has been married for nearly 57 years now, there is no knowledge about them having children as none have been spotted in the public eye.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Frank Zane's Net Worth</h2>
The God of Aesthetic's net worth is estimated to be between $10 million and $17 million. The legendary bodybuilder's income has mostly come from prize money after winning competitions like the Mr. Olympia. His appearance in fitness magazines and his endorsements with supplements and other brands have also contributed to the increase in his net worth. Being someone who has written numerous books on fitness and bodybuilding, including the <i>Zane Bodybuilding Manual</i> and <i>The Mind in Bodybuilding,</i> Zane earns revenue from their sales as well. Many sources also suggest that the former bodybuilder has investments in real estate, which continue to be revenue-generating even now.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Frank Zane's Career Timeline</h2>
Frank Zane's bodybuilding career kick-started in 1965 when he emerged victorious in the IFBB Medium Height Mr. Universe competition. After the first-place finish, Zane also won the Mr. America Middle Height division titles in 1966 and 1967, a start that many in the sport would dream of. As Zane continued to grab attention in the bodybuilding world, he also started training alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger, Franco Columbo, Ed Corney, and many others.

<img class="size-full wp-image-1186922 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Arnold-and-Frank-Zane-e1691060809638.jpg" alt="" width="1099" height="739" />

Just a few years later, the <em>God of Aesthetics </em>took the NABBA Mr. Universe title home, with a few top-five finishes at the Mr. Olympia to his name in the 1970s. On the other hand, after Arnold Schwarzenegger's retirement in 1976, Zane was one of the favorites to win the Mr. Olympia title that year, however, Franco Columbu beat him to it. Just a year later, at the 1977 competition, Zane won the Sandow trophy, besting the likes of bodybuilding greats Ed Corney, Robby Robinson, and Boyer Coe. He continued the streak and won both the 1978 and 1979 editions as well.

While many had predicted Zane's fourth straight victory at the 1980 Mr. Olympia, the bodybuilding world was in for a surprise, with Arnold Schwarzenegger returning to the Olympia stage. This was compounded by the fact that Zane had suffered a freak injury in the run-up to the event and lost a significant amount of muscle mass owing to an extended hospital stay. Schwarzenegger won the event, leading to controversy erupting after many opined that the Austrian Oak's condition was not up to the mark. In the aftermath of Arnold's victory, Zane, Mike Mentzer, and Boyer Coe boycotted the 1981 Mr. Olympia. When Zane returned to the stage in 1982, he could only finish second behind Chris Dickerson. In 1983, Zane came in at a dismal fourth, retiring soon after, deciding to focus on teaching, personal training, and his music.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Major Achievements in Frank Zane's CareerÂ </b></h2>

<h2 style="text-align: center">Frank Zane's Diet and Workout</h2>
During the offseason, Zane hardly consumed any carbs. While a high day would see him having an intake of 150 grams of carbohydrates, on normal days, he would only have around 50 grams. However, Zane's protein consumption sat at around 200 grams per day, which translated to around 1 gram per pound of body weight. He would incorporate steak, fish, and chicken into his diet as protein sources.

Zane followed a strict diet and tightened it up even further nearly eight weeks out from a contest. As the competition neared, Zane would include more carbs, so as to ensure that the muscles filled out and popped.

Frank Zane

Frank Zane: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, Wife and more In the history of bodybuilding, only two people can claim to have beaten the legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger. Frank Zane is one of them. The bodybuilding icon who shocked the Austrian Oak in 1968 also taught him a thing or two about training. From a maths teacher to winning the Mr. Olympia title consecutively for three years, Zane has always held on to his biggest asset, humility. Willing to learn, as much as he was willing to teach, Frank Zane remains a student of bodybuilding even at 81. The former Mr. Universe was among the few Mr. Olympia champions who competed against and defeated bodybuilders who were taller and heavier than him. Zane&#8217;s dedication toward all aspects of bodybuilding including posing, symmetry, and proportions earned him the moniker of the King of Aesthetics. Always on top of the latest developments in exercise and diet. His research and application of what he learned also made Frank Zane, The Chemist ofÂ bodybuilding. Frank Zane&#8217;s Early Life Born to Adam F. Zane and Laura, strong protestants in their community, Frank Zane was brought up alongside his younger brother in Kingston, Pennsylvania. Subject to bullying in the earlier years of his life, Zane&#8217;s fragile body made him decide to focus on building his physique. Zane took to sports like football, baseball, and basketball. However, it was at the age of 14 that Zane stepped foot into bodybuilding. After completing high school, Zane obtained a degree in Mathematics from the Wilkes University in Pennsylvania and also gained a Master&#8217;s in Experimental Psychology from the California State University. Frank Zane&#8217;s Wife and Children After meeting Christine in Florida in 1966 at a bodybuilding event, the two got married the next year. A former weightlifter herself, Christine retired from the sport after winning the Miss Universe Bikini Crown in 1970 to focus on studies and art. Her focus on art led to a Master&#8217;s degree in Fine Arts with skills in painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, and jewelry. While the couple has been married for nearly 57 years now, there is no knowledge about them having children as none have been spotted in the public eye. Frank Zane&#8217;s Net Worth The God of Aesthetic&#8217;s net worth is estimated to be between $10 million and $17 million. The legendary bodybuilder&#8217;s income has mostly come from prize money after winning competitions like the Mr. Olympia. His appearance in fitness magazines and his endorsements with supplements and other brands have also contributed to the increase in his net worth. Being someone who has written numerous books on fitness and bodybuilding, including the Zane Bodybuilding Manual and The Mind in Bodybuilding, Zane earns revenue from their sales as well. Many sources also suggest that the former bodybuilder has investments in real estate, which continue to be revenue-generating even now. Frank Zane&#8217;s Career Timeline Frank Zane&#8217;s bodybuilding career kick-started in 1965 when he emerged victorious in the IFBB Medium Height Mr. Universe competition. After the first-place finish, Zane also won the Mr. America Middle Height division titles in 1966 and 1967, a start that many in the sport would dream of. As Zane continued to grab attention in the bodybuilding world, he also started training alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger, Franco Columbo, Ed Corney, and many others. Just a few years later, the God of Aesthetics took the NABBA Mr. Universe title home, with a few top-five finishes at the Mr. Olympia to his name in the 1970s. On the other hand, after Arnold Schwarzenegger&#8217;s retirement in 1976, Zane was one of the favorites to win the Mr. Olympia title that year, however, Franco Columbu beat him to it. Just a year later, at the 1977 competition, Zane won the Sandow trophy, besting the likes of bodybuilding greats Ed Corney, Robby Robinson, and Boyer Coe. He continued the streak and won both the 1978 and 1979 editions as well. While many had predicted Zane&#8217;s fourth straight victory at the 1980 Mr. Olympia, the bodybuilding world was in for a surprise, with Arnold Schwarzenegger returning to the Olympia stage. This was compounded by the fact that Zane had suffered a freak injury in the run-up to the event and lost a significant amount of muscle mass owing to an extended hospital stay. Schwarzenegger won the event, leading to controversy erupting after many opined that the Austrian Oak&#8217;s condition was not up to the mark. In the aftermath of Arnold&#8217;s victory, Zane, Mike Mentzer, and Boyer Coe boycotted the 1981 Mr. Olympia. When Zane returned to the stage in 1982, he could only finish second behind Chris Dickerson. In 1983, Zane came in at a dismal fourth, retiring soon after, deciding to focus on teaching, personal training, and his music. Major Achievements in Frank Zane&#8217;s CareerÂ  Zane is one of the very few to have defeated the legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger. Zane did this when he defeated him at the 1968 Mr. Universe competition. On top of that, Zane and Sergio Oliva are the only two bodybuilders to have won the Mr. Olympia three consecutive times. Let us have a look at the other major achievements in the career of the God of Aesthetics. 1962 Mr. Keystone (Winner) 1963 Mr. Keystone (2nd) 1965 Mr. Sunshine State (Winner) 1965Â IFBBÂ Mr. Universe (1st, Medium Height category) 1966 IFBB Mr. America (1st, Medium) 1967 IFBB Mr. America (1st, Medium) 1967 IFBB Mr. Universe (3rd, Tall) 1968 IFBB Mr. America (Winner) 1968 IFBB Mr. Universe (Winner) 1970Â NABBAÂ Mr. Universe (Winner) 1971 NABBA Pro Mr. Universe (1st, Short) 1972 NABBA Pro Mr. Universe (Winner) 1972 IFBB Mr. OlympiaÂ (Under 200Â lbs, 4th) 1974 IFBB Mr. OlympiaÂ (Under 200Â lbs, 2nd) 1975 IFBB Mr. OlympiaÂ (Under 200Â lbs, 4th) 1976 IFBB Mr. OlympiaÂ (Under 200Â lbs, 2nd) 1977 IFBB Mr. OlympiaÂ (Under 200Â lbs &amp; Overall Winner) 1978 IFBB Mr. OlympiaÂ (Under 200Â lbs &amp; Overall Winner) 1979 IFBB Mr. OlympiaÂ (Under 200Â lbs &amp; Overall Winner) 1980 IFBB Mr. Olympia (3rd) 1982 IFBB Mr. OlympiaÂ (2nd) 1983 IFBB Mr. Olympia (4th) Frank Zane&#8217;s Diet and Workout During the offseason, Zane hardly consumed any carbs. While a high day would see him having an intake of 150 grams of carbohydrates, on normal days, he would only have around 50 grams. However, Zane&#8217;s protein consumption sat at around 200 grams per day, which translated to around 1 gram per pound of body weight. He would incorporate steak, fish, and chicken into his diet as protein sources. Zane followed a strict diet and tightened it up even further nearly eight weeks out from a contest. As the competition neared, Zane would include more carbs, so as to ensure that the muscles filled out and popped. As most bodybuilders do, Zane had his own methods of going through a strict workout regime. The legendary bodybuilder banked on the push/pull/legs split and some high-volume training to ensure that his physique reached the pinnacle of what it could be. Let us have a look at his training regime. Hereâ€™s what his weekly pre-contest training looked like: Shoulder workout Seated dumbbell shoulder press Smith machine overhead shoulder press Incline bench rear delt fly Upright cable row Bent-over dumbbell lateral raise One-arm lateral cable raise Arm workout Biceps Alternate dumbbell curls One-arm dumbbell concentration curls 450degree incline dumbbell curls Triceps One-arm overhead extensions Close-grip bench press V-grip press down Feet elevated bench dips Triceps cable pushdown Forearms Incline barbell bench press Reverse barbell forearm curls Flat barbell bench press Seated barbell wrist curls 70-degree incline dumbbell press Standing cable crossover Flat dumbbell fly Crossbench dumbbell pullover 10-degree decline dumbbell fly Bodyweight push-up Back workout T-bar rows Wide-grip deadlifts Wide-grip pull-ups Dumbbell pull-over One-arm dumbbell row Bent-over barbell row Abs workout Leg raise Crunches superset with leg raises Abs crunches Hanging leg raises Hanging knee-ups and seated twists Seated twists Leg workout Quads/Thighs Back squats Leg extensions Leg blaster squats Barbell stiff leg deadlifts Lying leg curls Leg press Calves Donkey calf raises Standing calf raises Seated calf raises Frank Zane&#8217;s Social Media Frank Zane is very active on Instagram, which he uses as a tool to impart those on their fitness journeys with tips to help them on their path. Zane often turns up on YouTube videos with other bodybuilders. However, he does not have a channel of his own.  Instagram @therealfrankzane.
