Frank Zane : one of the greatest bodybuilder

 an American former
professional bodybuilder and teacher .
Zane is a three-time Mr. Olympia (1977 to
1979). His reign represented a shift of
emphasis from mass to aesthetics. Zane's
proportionate physique featured the second
thinnest waistline of all the Mr. Olympias (after
Sergio Oliva), with his wide shoulders making
for a distinctive V-taper. He stood at 5'9" and
had a competition weight of 187-195 pounds
when he won Mr Olympia (He weighed over
200 lbs when he competed in the 1960s).
Zane is one of only three people who have
beaten Arnold Schwarzenegger in a
bodybuilding contest (1968 Mr. Universe in
Miami, FL) and one of the very few Mr.
Olympia winners under 200 pounds. Overall, he
competed for over 20 years (retiring after the
1983 Mr Olympia contest) and won Mr
America, Mr Universe, Mr World and Mr
Olympia throughout his illustrious career.
