Zane recalls how he was also in “pretty good shape” in his early 50s.
When asked for advice about how to maintain a healthy physique into older age, Zane didn’t hesitate:

Being happy — doing things that make you happy — being useful; it’s positive feedback for you and for your legacy.
Zane said he only peaked once yearly because doing so twice was too much. Being at his best in the fall of each year was the “most natural” for his physique, and he didn’t stray from that.
