Frank Zane is an American former professional bodybuilder and teacher. He was born June 28, 1942 in Kingston, Pennsylvania.

Zane received a B.S. (Bachelor of Science degree) in Education from Wilkes University in Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania in 1964. Later he earned a B.A. (Bachelor of Arts degree) in psychology from California State University, Los Angeles in 1977. Finally, he was awarded a Master's degree in Experimental Psychology from California State University San Bernardino, California in 1990.

Zane is a three-time Mr. Olympia (1977 to 1979). His reign represented a shift of emphasis from mass to aesthetics and his physique is still regarded by some as the ideal in bodybuilding. Zane's proportionate physique featured the thinnest waistline of all the Mr. Olympias with his wide shoulders making for a beautiful V-taper. He stood at 5'9" and had a competition weight of 180 pounds. Zane is one of only three people who have beaten Arnold Schwarzenegger in a bodybuilding contest and one of the very few Mr. Olympias under 200 pounds. He has written many books about bodybuilding. He is often accused of overly focusing on meditation and relaxation rather than 'core' bodybuilding techniques. He received the Arnold Schwarzenegger lifetime achievement award at the 2003 Arnold Classic for his dedication and long-time support of the sport.

He was given the nickname "The Chemist" due to his Bachelor of Science degree and, as he puts it: "Back in the day I took a lot of supplements and tons of amino acids. Still do. But back then it was pretty unusual. That's how I got the nickname The Chemist."

In the 1980s, Frank owned and ran a gym in Palm Springs, Calif. He was focusing on personal training. He now lives in San Diego with his wife Christine.

In 2005, Frank Zane played the IFBB Announcer and worked as the consulting producer in the movie "See Arnold Run." As of 2006, Zane currently runs his own website, appears at seminars and book signings, and offers personal weightlifting sessions with his program called "The Zane Experience" in San Diego.

Lee Haney (born November 11, 1959) is a former American IFBB professional bodybuilder most famous for being the current joint world record holder for winning the most Mr. Olympia titles (eight times from 1984 to 1991). A devoted born again Christian, Haney has his own program on the Trinity Broadcasting Network called "TotaLee Fit with Lee Haney."

In October 2005, Ronnie Coleman tied Haney's record of eight Mr. Olympia victories.

His reign ushered in an era where back development (both Latissimus dorsi and Trapezius) has been seen as the ultimate goal in bodybuilding.

Dorian Andrew Mientjez Yates (born April 19, 1962 in Sutton Coldfield, England), is a successful professional British bodybuilder, winning the Mr. Olympia title six times from 1992 until 1997. He is considered to have revolutionized training in the sport of bodybuilding. His style of training is known as "blood and guts" training. This style of training advocates several different exercises and few sets for a bodypart allowing it to be hit from all angles for optimum devolpment. He believed that muscle damage could be caused in a shorter period of time with the proper intensity rather than working out for extended periods of time. He is also known for his incredible back development.
