JANUARY/ FEBRUARY 2006
TIP FOR THE MONTH

Frank Zane Newsletter Winter coverHello,
The winter issue of Building the Body Quarterly Magazine will be mailed before the end of this month.  Not only does it have a fantastic drawing by Christian Podgorski on the cover and incredible back double biceps photos from 1979 Mr. Olympia on the back cover, it contains some very good articles including Frank's workout routine, motivation, and innovations in "Winter Training"; maintenance training, goal setting, pacing and timing in "Setbacks and Comebacks"; over 50 competition win by the transformation of Gary Marsh; Frank's early days in bodybuilding in "Reflections of Youth" by his friend from the 1960s Pete Johnson;  "Fine Tuning Attention" by Sensei Ken O'Neill;  Frank works out with professional world archery champion John Dudley in "Zane in the Art of Archery"; Neuro-muscular therapist John Burris gives an analysis of intention, goals, and plan in "3 Legs of Creation"; David Leonardi, M.D. anti-aging medicine specialist tells all about human growth hormone.

Subscribe now if you don't already and receive the previous Autumn issue free.  Go to the link "Zane Newsletter" to read the contents of this issue. to It features the wonderful lifelike drawings of Ron Dunn and some great articles. 

The Arnold Expo is coming up March 2- 5th at Columbus Convention Center in Columbus Ohio.  I'll have a booth there as usual so please stop by if you are in town.  It's bigger than ever this year, with attendance expected  to well exceed the 110,000 fans that showed up last year.  I plan to shoot my new Genesis Pro Compound Bow at the event and my band INZANE will play Saturday at 11 pm at the Hyatt Capital Square second floor lounge.  There will be a full report in the spring edition of Building the Body Quarterly, which will be out in April.

My training is going well-- working out with weights every other day: torso day 1, legs day 2, arms day 3, and doing a half hour of stationary bike and treadmill with 300 reps of abdominal work on day in between weight workouts.  With bodyweight holding at 185, My upper body keeps growing and I can feel my waistline shrinking.  By doing 2 sets of each exercise and not more than 20 sets total in any one workout, and going heavier each set with slow negatives, I've been able to stimulate muscle growth.  If I feel joint pain or if my form is loose, I'll cut back slightly on the weight and maybe do more reps.  Usually I do 12 reps on the first set, stretch, increase the weight, and do 10 reps on the second set.  Occasionally I'll do 15 reps on the first and 11 or 12 on the second set.  It's working.

I hope your training is going well too.
