Vince was quite the snazzy dresser.
a real ladies man but he was in awe almost jealous of Reeves though.
it was said that he used to put stuffing in his coats to make his shoulders look wider...
Not a big fan of behind the neck exercises but the Bradford press is constant tension ..for a free weight exercise.
more vg, what happens in vince's gym on women's day, stays in......
top pic ... is that Steve Reeves in the Picture that Vince is looking at ? not sure if they competed against each other.
no he never competed against reeves in a major contest as far as i know , the guy in pic is reg lewis i think it's from the 1957 mr usa contest...
^^ Ha, ha...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!!
Looks like another pic of him at Vince's...
