Here’s a vintage shot of Arnold and Frank Zane during Tank Top Week at the original Gold’s Gym. Unfortunately, no photos were allowed at the gym during Tiara Week.
These two were a couple of the absolute best bodybuilders of their era with totally different physiques.
Arnold was mega-massive back in the day, while Zane relied on sculpted muscle and rippedness to get jaws to drop.
In fact, one of Arnold’s only losses was at the 1968 IFBB Mr. Universe when Zane beat him due to conditioning.
While Arnold wanted to be the biggest, he ended up looking like a glazed doughnut. Zane sliced and diced his way to a win.
Arnold did win the pro Mr. Universe after that..
And get this: When Arnold first got to the California during this time, he immediately visited Vince’s Gym in Studio City, California where the first Mr. Olympia Larry Scott trained.
According to John Balik, former Iron Man magazine publisher, who was working the counter at Vince’s that day…
Arnold introduced himself to the owner, crusty trainer Vince Gironda, as “Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mr. Universe.”
Vince looked at him and said, “Well, you look like just a fat f#@k to me.”
Gotta love the Iron Guru and his candid comments. It shook Arnold. Balik said he never weighed in that bloated 250-pound range again…
If you don’t want to look like a fat f#@k, you may want to try intermittent fasting. It’s one of the best methods for getting ripped with impressive health benefits as well. See the offer below.
Till next time, train hard—and smart—for BIG results.
