Famous Bodybuilders Then and Now

I met Tom Platz in the late 80's at a seminar he had at a local college. He answered all my questions about my routine and how I should change parts of it. Super nice guy.

Frank Zane had the healthiest look even during his prime. He looked like the type of bodybuilder who can climb, run, and hike with speed and endurance. Others looked too big and slow with a lot of limitations.

Both Lou and Frank brought class to the body building field. Excellent examples, both of them.

The Quadfather was, and still is an unstoppable force. 😎

The way they look now is unbelievable. Almost unrecognizable

I idolized these guys in my youth, but then slowly, I learned their gains weren’t natural, and my admiration waned. Still, they inspired me to push myself in the gym.

Frank Zane was my icon and the person I most aspired to emulate, body building wise. He looked down right regular at 81. I guess there really is no escaping time, even for super men.

As an artist I used to study these guys intensely for modeling used in my work. I always used to find myself using Arnold and Frank Zane simply because they looked very proportionate. Arnold in his early years is immaculate in that regard. I would never say perfectly proportioned but he knew what he was doing and worked damn hard to get a very balanced look. Frank has that same type where abs aren't a mess and his lats don't make his arms push out to make him look like a plush toy. Great respect for all of these people and I certainly appreciate the work they put in.

Impressive at first but so many injuries and all that pain later on when you're older ... Ouch ... yoga is cool.

When he said “I’m less than half that age” I remembered that he’s an actual human

We are Not meant to look like muscle monsters..

Arnie's handshake was the best in Commando, dillon & dutch

The smartest thing I ever heard Frank Zane say was to make a light weight as heavy as possible. That is the reason why I keep the weight low striving for form and control.

HUGE respect to those on this video who bounced back after bodybuilding and are/were in great shape and health in their later years.

Just being alive after several decades is impressive!

Moral of the story: Never use steroids

I grew up in the 80s and I remember ALL these guys! Im very happy to see most doing well! A real inspiration. I still quote ronnie Coleman all the time: "Everybody wanna be big but don't nobody wanna lift no heavy-ass weights"!

Dang Arnold's physique despite his age is still incredible

I loved Lou on King Of Queens. He was the perfect casting for a 'next door neighbor' character.

Frank Zane what a man! Healthy and probably (almost) natural that’s why he looked so good for long 👍.
