how big was VINCE TAYLOR...

[Max_Rep]

Vince was always one of my favorites. He had aesthetics and size. His training and diet seemed to work for HIM and that’s all that matters. 21 Pro wins spanning 17 years!

Yeah, but Vince had better arms and calves.

[njflex]

incredible contest resume

[Hulkster]

Yeah, but Vince had better arms and calves.

better calves - yes by a miile..

but not better arms



wow - when you see Ronnie and Vince compared, they are surprisingly similar!

Vince was amazing!

Can you imagine how it might have changed the course of the sport had he won in 1992?

the reign of the refridgerator might never have happened!

I might have exageratted to a certain extent, according to those pictures! What I really think Vince had that Ronnie didn't have regarding their arms is shape. Vince's biceps appear fuller (Vince has long biceps and Ronnie's are relatively short) and his Triceps (particularly the lateral head of the tricep) have more of a horseshoe shape.

agreed. Vince did have amazing arms though, probably top 5 best ever overall..



although slighly different in shape, they did have very similar looking arms..

Vince, like Ronnie, always had the best arms onstage when he was in shape.

[figgs]

Definetely. He probably used to brag about the fact that his arms were bigger than Mr. Olympia's (Dorian Yates).

I can hardly believe all those cable workouts worked so well for him.

[the shadow]

actually vince was not that big at the olympia 1992..he just got bigger and bigger as each year progressed..he was one of those guys having one of the best shapes ever with considerable size..vince was at his biggest from mr olympia 1995 to mr olympia 2001...vince was just huge during these years

Yeah, and he's stated that he "never was a big guy".

[njflex]

he's 240 now in shape at 5'8 that's a big guy.

[Hulkster]

240 at 5'8 is huge when you condsider that both Ronnie and Dorian reached their career peaks at 257 pounds but at 5'11!

he must look insane
