Vince Gironda Talks! - Bodybuilding, Muscle, Training, Nutrition, Drugs and More!

Gironda Talks!The late Vince Gironda is considered by many to be the greatest bodybuilding trainer who ever lived!

At his famous Vince's Gym, in North Hollywood, California, Vince Gironda trained many of the greatest bodybuilding champions in the world, as well as a long list of movie stars and TV personalities.

Known as the "Iron Guru", Vince Gironda was years ahead of his time and it is no exaggeration to say that Vince Gironda invented or popularized many techniques and training accessories that we take for granted today.

On nutrition he was the first to recommend amino acids for muscular development and glandulars to break a sticking point.

He promoted the weight loss and muscle building benefits of high fat diets long before the Atkins and Zone diets were popular.

He could shape up movie stars in record time and help bodybuilding champions attain their best ever size, condition and presentation.

All this was over a quarter of a century ago and now you can hear Vince Gironda explain in his own words the theories, research and principles that made him so famous!


For the first time in 35 years you can hear in this unique audio seminar, Vince Gironda in his own words explain;

• Synthetic Anabolic Steroids vs. Natural Hormones - Whatever happened to Physical Culture?

• How to precurse natural hormones and increase the anabolic environment of your body.

• What is the proper intensity and duration of the optimum workout?

• How to avoid overwork and avoid hormone loss.

• Why you should avoid excessive abdominal training.

• How to easily increase your arm size by 1" in two weeks.

• What routines does Vince recommend for the beginner, intermediate and advanced trainer?

• How to naturally increase your metabolic rate.

• How you can improve muscular weak points in your body.

• What are the benefits of specific diets and what effect will they have? High Protein, Low Protein, High Carbohydrate, Low Carbohydrate, High Fat and Low Fat.

• What supplements should you take, how often and how much?

• What are the most powerful foods available today which can quickly provide muscle gain and fat loss?

• ... and much, much more!

Were Workouts Different Before Steroids?

Vince's Gym

During the 1960s Vince Gironda laid claim to having more top physique stars in training than any other west coast gym.

As a matter of fact, we had a first string and their photos lined the left wall of the gym. The second string had their photos on the right wall of the gym.

At this time Vince’ s Gym entrants dominated local physique contests. The training procedure was as follows.

Train one hour and retire to the Steak House across the street from the gym.

Have meat and relax and back to the gym for another hour training session and repeat this procedure for three one hour workouts.

   

Vince Gironda Caber Tossing

Vince Gironda Caber TossingVince is starting Caber Tossing lessons every Saturday morning in order to get a team to represent the gym at the annual Highland Games at Corsair Field in Santa Monica in early April.

Caber Tossing is a Scotch sport in which you throw a 19' long log end over end. Kent McCord (who plays a police rookie on the TV series Adam 12) has offered to put up an additional $1,000 on former wrestling champion Mike Rowe (U.S.C. Discus Thrower), against 300 lb. wrestler, Billy Graham.

This is a grudge battle to settle a for long disputed contest between these two men. This event is to be staged as part of the 10th Mr. San Fernando Valley Show to be held at Vince's Gym.
