Joe Weider Memorial

Hello,
Been so busy since the Weider Memorial on April 14th, first writing a tribute song, and then catching up on work at Zane central, that this is my first chance to blog.  Drove to Santa Monica with my training partner Fernandez (pictured between Arnold and Betty Weider) and set up sound for the song performance.  Dave Bott flew in from Columbus, Ohio to accomany me on keyboards and we rocked the house. The memorial went well, 400 people attended, 20 speeches, one song, bagpipes, it was nice to see old friends again.  You can see the entire program at www.bodybuilding.com . Waiting for the Spring issue of Building the Body to arrive from the printers, I'll blog in a few days with a description of contents and tell when it will be mailed.
All the best,
FZ

Building the Body Winter Issue

Greetings,

The Winter 2012 edition of Building the Body quarterly is being printed as I write this and we expect to be mailing it the week of February 4th. This is a special issue since I am not on the cover.  Instead is Fernandez my student and training partner for the past year.  When I met him he was 220 pounds at 5' 4", strong and fat.  At age 50 he recently competed in his first contest in over 20 years making incredible improvement in his year of training with me.  I am especially proud because he did exactly as I told him and sometimes even more on his own.  The result is the transformation at 165 pounds on the cover of this issue.  Here's what's in this issue:

1. Fernandez Rizing - See his amazing before and after photos and read his story.

 2. The Calf Blaster - How many calf blocks does a gym need? At least two.  How many do most gyms have?  None.  Now you can get Frank's signature calf blaster with a special price if you own a Leg Blaster. 

 3. Calf Blasting Routine - Try this program using a minimum of equipment to develop great calves.

 4. Secrets of a Small Muscular Waistline - Here is a program you can do to shrink your waistline and improve your abs.

 5. Training Goals for 2013 - Here we go again.  Learn what Frank plans to do with his body this year.

 6. Sergio Oliva passes away at age 71, he was one of a kind.

 7. The Legend of Freddie Ortiz whose greatness infuenced FZ in the 1960s.

 8. Spiritual Renewal in San Diego - Frank's successful book signing and musical performance.

 9.  Climbing and Floating - Kirk learns how climbing develops calves and how floating deeply relaxes.

 10. Training with a Lower Back Injury - Master trainer Larry Kay gives a back routine that enables you to improve back development without re-injury.

 11. Think Fenugreek - We've been making practically miraculous gains from taking Fenugreek.  What else does it do?

 12.  The Best Supplements - Here's a list and description.

 13. Frankly Speaking - Christine's beautiful abstract watercolor paintings grace our outside rear and inside front covers.

Merry Christmas!

Hello,

Christine and I wish all readers of my blog a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  It's been a busy year for us, Christine's been painting up a storm and you can see two of her newest creations in the Winter issue of Building the Body quarterly magazine which comes out late January.  My latest book Symmetry has been selling so well that I've begun working on the next book which will pick up where Symmetry leaves off.  It's untitled as yet but plans are to publish before the end of 2013.  I'm looking forward to a great year of training and I hope you are too.

All the best in the coming year,

Frank and Christine

The Passing of Sergio

   Christine and I are saddened by the passing of Sergio Oliva.  My fondest memory of the 'Myth' is the 1967 IFBB Mr. Universe in Montreal.  I flew up from Florida to compete and along with other competitors was dropped off at the Paul Sauve arena (a wresting auditorium if I remember right).  The contest was being held here and all the competitors were accomodated in a large gym upstars sleeping on cots.  As the competitors arrived and claimed their cot, the place began filling up.  Rick Wayne was there, he'd probably win, I thought, but then heard that Sergio was on his way. 
   He arrived late  in the evening, clad in bright red blazer, to find no cot available.  But as soon as everyone realized Sergio was here one contestant gave Sergio his cot and slept on the floor.  Sergio won and after the contest I went out to eat with him (All the guys ate at a little restaurant across the street).  We each had a whole chicken and during the meal Sergio confided in me "You will win in future because you know how to do."  He meant posing and I took his advice seriously, trained hard and won the title the following year.  Sergio was there too Miami 1968, looking fantastic and gave a posing exhibition.   Here are some photos taken by Christine 16 years later at Sergio's last competition 1984 Mr. Olympia.
Rest in Peace Great Champion,
