Biography
I was born June 12th, 1994 in Renton, Washington, United States. I began playing sports at the young age of 5 and it was essentially the beginning of what has become an epic journey.
I was always a very athletic kid growing up and I soon realized that being physically strong and in great shape helped give me an even greater advantage over my competition. This desire and overwhelming passion to be different than everyone else inspired me to begin lifting weights at the age of 12. It is this passion to be unique that gives me the drive and motivation to be the best, and accomplish all that I can so that one day, when I die, my name will live on for ever.
Going into my senior year of high school I was an All-American wrestler, All-State football player, and had set multiple records in track. I had multiple full ride scholarships for football and wrestling and pretty much planned on having my college education paid for through sports. But sometimes life doesn’t happen the way you expect. My first football game of my senior year I tore my ACL and shattered my dreams. It was a pretty depressing time in my life. Not only was my dream of playing sports in college shattered but all of my scholarship offers were gone, leaving me with no way to pay for college. I tore my ACL a 2nd time a couple months later and definitely thought my life was over lol.
A few days before my 1st surgery, I was on the bodybuilding.com website and I stumbled across the new bodybuilding category called Men’s Physique. I had been training consistently for 6 years at that time and knew this was my calling. Needless to say, a month later I tried it out and won the overall title at my first show. Exactly a year after my first competition I went on to win the Jr. Nationals competition which made me the youngest IFBB Professional in history! Two months after becoming an IFBB Pro I won my first Pro show that qualified me to step on stage at the first ever Mr. Olympia Men’s Physique Showdown.
This is just the beginning of my journey that has taken me to various parts of the world and has introduced me to many incredible people. I’m very excited about this new chapter in my life and to see what this world has in store for me! – Jeff Seid
Frank Zane
Zane is a three-time Mr. Olympia
(1977 to 1979). His reign represented a shift of emphasis from mass to aesthetics.
Zane's proportionate physique featured the second thinnest waistline of all the
Mr. Olympias (after Sergio Oliva), with his wide shoulders making
for a distinctive V-taper. His abdominals were considered by some bodybuilders
to be the best in bodybuilding history. He stood at 5'9" and had a
self-declared competition weight of 198 pounds when he won Mr Olympia (He
weighed over 200 lbs when he competed in the 1960s). Zane is one of only
three people who have beaten Arnold Schwarzenegger in a bodybuilding
contest (1968 Mr. Universe in Miami, FL) and one of the
very few Mr. Olympia winners under 200 pounds. Overall, he competed for over 20
years (retiring after the 1983 Mr Olympia contest) and won Mr America, Mr
Universe, Mr World and Mr Olympia during his illustrious career.
