Vince was quite the snazzy dresser.

a real ladies man but he was in awe almost jealous of Reeves though.

In them Days a lot of coats were padded in the shoulder area. i could believe it though. He was not really a guy who promoted Overhead presses but does show the bradford press in some illustrations. A good exercise.

Not a big fan of behind the neck exercises but the Bradford press is constant tension ..for a free weight exercise.

apparently a wrestler from the 80s who trained with Vince..

Yes, that's Hilbilly Jim himself!! I used to have his action figure when I was a little kid.

I'm happy you posted that photo! I'd seen in years ago, but had forgotten all about it until now!!

he was probably doing Zottman curls .. twisting as he came up. He wrote a lot about them. It´s an exercise you never see in lower arm training now...but an oldie but goldie

I remember this team, w/ "Big Ron Shaw"! (In my best Vince voice).

"In 1988, he and Ron Shaw formed the Executioners".

Vince used to kill me on the mic "Raw Boned Swede Hansen"...
