The important thing is getting a good workout, not talking about it. You don’t have to know why something works for it to work. You do need to know procedure, you need to know how to do it. During a workout it’s all about how, not why. frankzane.com #mrolympia #bodybuilding #bodybuilder
What most people talk about is not symmetry; it’s bodybuilder symmetry. There is no such thing as pure symmetry between upper body and lower body. That’s not symmetry, that’s proportion. frankzane.com #mrolypia #frankzane #bodybuilding #bodybuilder
Your speech can become self-fulfilling prophecy. The truth is we shape our lives, invent our future body by our attitude: what we think, say, and do. Everybody knows how difficult it is to build your body. So why put obstacles in your way? frankzane.com #mrolympia #frankzane #bodybuilding #bodybuilder
With the proper coaching, you can achieve more than you could on your own. No matter what your goal, you have to aim to reach higher and be the best you can be. #mrolympia #frankzane #bodybuilding #bodybuilder
When training a particular body part, you should do roughly ten different stretches for it during the rest periods between your sets. Each stretch should last 15-20 seconds. After a set, you want to rest and drop your heart rate. This is the ideal recovery tool as you relax into the stretch; it saves a lot of time and keeps you warm. #frankzane #mrolympia #bodybuilding #bodybuilder
Confidence is important, but you have to have proof. You can’t just be confident without having proof of your quality. frankzane.com #frankzane #mrolympia #bodybuilding #bodybuilder
Most peoples fronts are more developed than their back sides, because that’s what they are aware of. Not many people look in rear view mirrors much. This makes it much easier to judge a physique contest. frankzane.com #mrolympia #frankzane #bodybuilding #bodybuilder
Negative body metaphor are the most obvious forms of powerless speech. But instead of saying what you really mean, you may be into the habit of bringing your body into the expression. frankzane.com #mrolympia #frankzane #bodybuilding #bodybuilder
Habitual usage of negative body metaphors can lead to self-fulfilling prophecy and you may develop symptoms of what you are literally saying. frankzane.com #mrolympia #frankzane #bodybuilding #bodybuilder
Take responsibility by not blaming someone or something else. What part did you play in the injury? You did it, you are experiencing it, no one else. You have created everything by yourself. frankzane.com #mrolympia #frankzane #bodybuilder #bodybuilding
You need to rest long enough. But if you rest too long, the muscles/joints cool down and strength and pump diminish. You need to still be warm when you start your next set. Experiment and find out what rest time is best. frankzane.com #frankzane #mrolympia #bodybuilding #bodybuilder
Dumbbells are the best for a workout, because they work each side of your upper body independently. A great deal of control and balance must be learned to negotiate a successful dumbbell workout. Little shifts in the movement produces a different effect on the muscles, working different areas in diverse ways. Dumbbells build muscle shape. frankzane.com #frankzane #mrolympia #bodybuilding #bodybuilder
The only way most people can get motivated is through deficiency, and that’s not how you stay motivated. You can always be unhappy. You can go backwards. You can be worse, not better. The answer to this problem is to become motivated through success. Buy Frank Zane merch on frankzane.com #mrolympia #frankzane #bodybuilding #bodybuilder
Practice the perfect workout, don’t talk it, or expect someone to do it for you. Concentrate, be in present time, don’t talk while performing a set. frankzane.com #mrolympia #bodybuilding #bodybuilder
Your biceps and triceps will grow if you are able to isolate them during each set. In order to do this, you should not try to use a heavy weight. frankzane.com #frankzane #mrolympia #bodybuilding #bodybuilder
The best way to improve asymmetry is by using dumb-bells as much as possible. One arm at a time movements should be included in all biceps, triceps, deltoid, and lat training routines. Always do your first set with your weaker side and end your sets with your weaker side too. frankzane.com #mrolympia #bodybuilding #bodybuilder
Once you realize your weaker areas, start your workout with this body-part. You will pay more attention to it and put greater effort into getting a great pump in the area. Use the exercises that give you the best pump and include these in your workouts. Ease up on the exercise that work the body parts that are already well developed. You’ll get a better body. frankzane.com #mrolympia #frankzane #bodybuilding #bodybuilder
Laws of behavioral science tell us that people need positive reinforcement to continue performing successfully. Failure is a form of punishment. I like to see a person’s final repetition be successful and in good form. Failure invites injury. frankzane.com #mrolympia #bodybuilding #bodybuilder
When you elevate your pulse to target level and keep it there long enough, you enter a very special zone. Aerobics performed at the right times and in the right amounts allow the body to burn its own fat for energy. First thing in the morning before you eat is the best for that. frankzane.com #mrolympia #frankzane #bodybuilding #bodybuilder
