One of America’s most famous musclemen is still lifting weights at the age of 80 – and he has vowed not to stop until he turns 130-years-old.
Frank Zane, who has won every single one of bodybuilding’s major titles including Mr Olympia and Mr Universe three times, is one of only three men to have ever beaten Arnold Schwarzenegger in competition.
