Man, Vince is the reason I started experimenting with different elbow and grip variations on dips, and it made a noticeable difference!!

I've emulated his "knuckles-in" grip with concave body arch to great avail!

I've read that Gironda was actually "penalized" for being "too lean" in contests.

correct judges didn't know where to place him as few guys were able to develop the highly defined look at the time, see the elias rodriquez thread....

I'm assuming that's the Gironda style "V" dipping bar to the right. We made a version of the "V" bar out of 2X6's, though not that wide. Worked very well for us. A important piece of any training equipment. Even got some heavy bencher's to switch over to dips..all to their benefit. And the famous gymnastic rings way in the back. Another highly useful training aid.
