"When you present yourself asymmetrically there is no opportunity to compare one side against the other so symmetry must be assumed," Frank Zane captioned the post.
The 82-year-old added that the trick is to showcase the side you're confident in and display his well-built physique to the judges.
"So, he shows this in his presentation and is able to emphasize strong points," concluded Zane.
Three exercises by Frank Zane to grow bigger
The Chemist called the exercise split the "key to muscle growth" and listed exercises for the three big muscle groups. Being a "good squatter," Zane listed squats for the first exercise.
The next exercise Zane mentioned was the bench press, which hits your chest and triceps if you use a close grip. The three-time Mr. Olympia used to lift an astonishing weight of 285 pounds in his prime, playing a huge role in his remarkable chest.
The last exercise is the most common among Gen Z gymgoers, none other than the deadlift, where everyone displays the strength they possess. This marks the last muscle group of the Big Three hitting your back.
The three-time Mr. Olympia ssummarized, "If you want to grow bigger do these exercises in your routine."
