Vince G CSN MFT the end of an era?!

[Vince B]

Here is a post Melvin Goodrum made to my open letter to him over a year ago. He finally saw the light and claims to have retired the Vince G name. I hope Melvin is sincere. The original post is amusing now that I read it again. It was on the money. Glad to see that Melvin eventually listens to what I say. Maybe it is time he came to Sydney and trained at my gym for a year or so. I could also train him to be a competent instructor so he could earn some money while downunder.

Dear Melvin,

In the spirit of fair play and integrity I am requesting that you cease using the name "Vince" when referring to yourself. I see that your real name is Melvin Goodrum and not Vince. (MELVIN “VINCE” GOODRUM, CSN MFT)

http://www.caliberfitness.com/resources.htm

"When a site has too many Vinces it becomes rather confusing and I must admit that a certain notoriety is now associated with the name that I was born with. You have to understand that there is a long tradition in bodybuilding where the name Vince is one of respect. Vince Gironda was known as the Iron Guru. Then years later Vince Taylor developed one of the best physiques ever. I also won contests and wrote some magazine articles.

To come to this site and discover that you are a 'star' here is interesting. Upon further investigation it appears that many of the lads here are making it a sport to tease and ridicule you. I must admit that images purporting to be recent poses of your physique have become famous on Getbig. I have seen some of your supporters using your images for their avatar and that must amaze you. However, be not fooled by the lads here because I sense that the typical response is one of disbelief that anyone would post such embarrassing photos on a gossip site by way of supporting his standing in bodybuilding. The bombastic display presented has been received with howls of laughter and I confess I was struck with a certain mirth while pondering the pride that only a mother could love. Far be it for me to discourage you or anyone else from self-improvement but I would request that you cease debasing the name "Vince" so that others with that name do not get mistaken for your unique self. When anyone uses the name "Vince" it is clear that they are referring to you. While I salute your capacity for self-promotion I swear you have done this at the expense of honour and have made that name a laughing stock in this sometimes lawless community. If your purpose is to amuse others then accept my humble apologies. If you are earnest and serious then seek some counseling regarding self-image and esteem.

There is nothing wrong with dreaming and aiming high. Sometimes we should let other tongues praise us and desist from conceits that seem to annoy others. I see from your site that you are leaders in human evolution and that you help clients achieve the optimum physique. While that sounds impressive it could just be hype and marketing. I, along with your detractors, would delight is seeing you in contest shape having your hand raised in token of victory on a bodybuilding stage for winning a competition against other decent bodybuilders. Until that time could you please return to calling yourself Melvin Goodrum and desist in despoiling the good name of all the other Vinces out there?"


   
 The nickname Vince comes from my days as a professional wrestler "Venom Vince Versace".  Once you're given a a wrestling name it sticks with you for life.   

Your argument for too many Vince's on this board is lame.  Besides I was here first.  If you have a a problem with too many Vince's, then why don't you change your name to something more accurate like "Old Salt" or something like that.  You have way too much free time on your hands, sunshine.

You are like 100 years old, leave the fkn guy alone and grown up.

A pity North America is in the middle of winter. I will represent you blokes at the great beaches in Sydney!

[Dr.Del]

All advil, no more hard work these days.

[Vince B]

These two blokes had a ball on the surf at Palm Beach in Sydney.

[Vince B]

Here is famous Palm Beach from the northern lookout. Sydney has at least 25 beaches like this. The climate here is similar to Northern Florida and part of the reason I left Canada back in 1971.

[Vince B]

Bondi Beach, Sydney.

[Tapeworm]

Bondi looks way too packed.  Palm is much more like it.

Good holidays Vince?  Any time off?

[Vince B]

Come to think about it Melvin Goodrum deserves his blue stars. Maybe now that he posts under his own name Ron should finally give him those coveted stars. The guy has competed whereas Vince G CSN MFT hasn't done much at all.

[Vince B]

Bondi wasn't packed in that photo above. The crowds there can be 3 times what you saw. The northern beaches are quite pleasant and I like the drive up the peninsula in what is surely a subtropical paradise.

I am modifying a Nautilus double chest machine. I got rid of the pec deck function and converted the decline part to cable drive. Talk about a big job. Plus I added some features Arthur never thought about. Like heavier plates on the stack and a handle on the lever to do triceps work on. That is a job I don't care to do again. I have another Nautilus duo chest machine but I can't see myself modifying it. I so hate those %#@%@ chains. That is something Arthur used on machines that gym owners will always hate. Those chains are dirty, they stretch and they can break. Plus they are just awful to service and replace.  I will post a couple of photos of the finished machine soon.  The plastic foot pad broke so I am using a 10 mm solid steel plate covered with 6 mm aluminium. Should look great and this machine should survive anything thrown at it. Would you believe the lads sheared three 3/8 inch bolts on the negative cam!! I have replaced those with three 1/2 inch high tensile bolts. If any human can shear those bolts he can take the machine home with him.

hahaha have seen what this fucktard Debussey looks like.  He makes Gary Busey look like Brad Pitt.  The last date he was on was when he wrote "Carol" on his hand.

How many tons of food have you eaten today Lonelymen?

[Vince B]

Debussey is forcing others to look after the women he is afraid to date. He is putting pressure on all those guys who have to double up because of those who don't date. Someone has to look after all the lonely women out there.

This is the time of year where women are looking for new partners, what with holidays and NY resolutions. If a guy can't find a woman between now and Valentine's day he really is a sad individual.

Vince Basile = a fat person. He never choses the "fat free" alternative.

Where is Melvin Goodrum?

Onlyme made a mistake and thought Melvin was a Snikers bar.

[Vince B]

DF, move to a warmer climate. Being house-bound for months leads to depression and wasting too much time online.

Look at this guy having fun in the sun and surf. He has no need to hang around a musclehead board all day.

Not possible, since Debussey will be abducted by the aliens again soon for 6 - 12 months.

[Camel Jockey]

Vince, were the Mr. Canada 1880's trophies made of bronze?

Could you auction them off at Christeys?

[Vince B]

I think mental health people made a mistake when they sent those they couldn't help home! Now we have to deal with their inane thoughts on the net. Some are just beyond helping. I doubt debussey is capable of actually having a discussion with a live human being.

Time for another Goodrum photo.
