Was the guy a quack or smart? He was a proponent of the low carb/high fat diet and trained alot of guys back in the day including Arnold and Larry Scott.

I think he was eccentric but still he was ahead of his time.

The dude was asshole best I understand I admire that

The man was brilliant and way ahead of his time. He only came off as an asshole to people who asked him dumb ass questions who just wanted to argue with him. Vince was more about teaching than arguing with brick wall dumbasses.

Vince wasn't gay, he was addicted to pussy and booze at one point in his life. He actually banned Rheo Blair from stepping foot in his gym for being openly gay. Vince couldn't keep his hands off of the pussy, hence his marital issues.

I have followed this guy's teachings for over 25 years. He trained people, and wasn't about money, dying in debt. Bill Pearl used to send Vince his Hardest gainers. Joe Weider sent his proteges like Arnold. Way ahead of his time.

Vince died from alcohol abuse.
He talked shit about Bill Phillips, and hated him.
So, good enuff for me.
