Bodybuilding legend Frank Zane is one of the bodybuilders who had a tremendous aesthetic physique back in the day. Moreover, he is especially known for his classic muscular definitions and wisdom about the sport. The 3X Mr. Olympia began his bodybuilding journey in his teenage and started competing in 1961 at the teen level. Zane was also one of the bodybuilders who defeated the legendary Arnold Schwarzenegger. However, after that one time, Arnold never lost to him again. A few years ago, Frank Zane openly criticized the decision of the 1981 Mr. Olympia winner and revealed his choice of champion. FRANK ZANE DISCLOSED HIS OPINION ON 1981 MR. OLYMPIA’S RESULT Franco Columbu won Mr. Olympia in 1981. However, Frank Zane felt that was the worst decision in the history of Mr. Olympia. Zane felt Danny Padilla was the bodybuilder with the best physique that year. Moreover, he was sidelined because of his smaller height. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/D-csrbJXYAA-5r2.jpg] In an interview in 2019, Zane said [https://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/drobson294.htm], “The way it went with Franco winning in 1981 was probably the worst decision anybody ever made in a Mr. Olympia contest. Padilla was incredible and I think he should have won.” READ MORE- Despite Winning 3 Mr. Olympia Titles, 80-Year-Old Frank Zane Once Admitted to Having Done Some ‘Stupid Stuff’ During His Career [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-bodybuilding-news-despite-winning-3-mr-olympia-titles-80-year-old-frank-zane-once-admitted-to-having-done-some-stupid-stuff-during-his-career/] Frank was pretty sure who should have won the contest and he knew that would not happen. However, Frank felt he should have competed in the 1981 Mr. Olympia in place of the 1980 Mr. Olympia. Why did he say so? WHY DID FRANK NOT COMPETE IN MR. OLYMPIA 1981? Frank Zane won three consecutive Mr. Olympia from 1977 to 1979. Even though he wasn’t in his 100 percent shape in 1980, he still competed in that one. However, in 1980, Mr. Olympia ended to be one of the most controversial ones. Because Arnold Schwarzenegger took a surprise entry in 1980, Mr. Olympia, just before the competition began. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/photo_2022-11-09_18-05-56.jpg] And when several bodybuilders, including Zane, protested against this, no action was taken. In addition, to increase the situation, Arnold also won the 1980 title. As a result, some massive bodybuilders like Frank Zane, Mike Mentzer, and Boyer Coe boycotted the 1981 Mr. Olympia, which gave other bodybuilders an open opportunity to win the mega-event in 1981. Light on Bodybuilding Legends Like Ronnie Coleman Putting Their Health at Risk to Retain Their Size [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/ufc-mma-news-youre-killing-yourself-very-quickly-joe-rogan-guest-once-put-light-on-bodybuilding-legends-like-ronnie-coleman-putting-their-health-at-risk-to-retain-their-size/] Judging bodybuilding is a very tough thing to do because everybody can have their own opinions about the winner. Just like many thought, Jay Cutler should have won much earlier than he actually did. Similarly, Frank Zane has his opinion of the 1981 Mr. Olympia result. 

3X Mr. Olympia Frank Zane once disclosed his disagreement about the result of
1981 Mr. Olympia. He believed that was the worst decision ever.

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>
</ul>
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. He then transitioned himself to various acting roles, became an investor, and was elected as the Governor of California. Some of his movies like Terminator 2, Commando, Twins, and Conan the Barbarian are some of his classics.
<ul>
 	<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. He is an eight-time Mr. Olympia winner and became the most dominant bodybuilder in the business. Netflix released a documentary featuring his life in the bodybuilding industry. His size and conditioning stood apart from everyone else. A true champion who wore his heart on his sleeve.

<ul>
 	<li><strong>Lee Haney:</strong></li>
</ul>
Like Coleman, Lee Haney became an eight-time Mr. Olympia champion. He dedicated his body to the sport and was one of the most exciting bodybuilders on stage. Haney had a humongous waist size of 32.5 inches. Therefore, Haney deserves a special mention for his performances.

<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 of 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 Career </b></h2>
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 <em>God of Aesthetics.</em>

</ul>
<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.
