Vince said it like he thought...held nothing back. I asked him after he judged me at the Muscle Beach show (I fortunately won) what I needed to work on..."Legs". The only word the man ever spoke to me. As a 20ish lad I went to his gym on Ventura Blvd. to buy my Rheo H. Blair protein powder. He would take my money and grunt. "You want to know something then pay your dues, then ask."

Before you wish you could train at his old gym forget all music. NO MUSIC NO SQUATS. He would rip those ear plugs off your head.

was againsr squats . widen the hips thiken the butt he said . some people laugh at this but not always false . try to find many huge squatters with a tiny waist

Why is it always assumed that you have to squat heavy?

A few sets in the 10-15 range with moderate weight is still better than any other leg exercise.

Gironda and Squats...build a wide waist what a load of crap. He promoted Sissy squats  with a barbell .. knee killer and no use. Squats don´t build  a wide waist .

love him or hate him he was a charismatic figure. some of his comments made me laugh too. I remember reading his column in musclemag, "The iron Guru" One which i have in an old Musclemag was..

Question: I Need to lose about 20 Pounds of Fat to look good, but i have no willpower to diet and i hate exercise. Is there a way i can lose 20 Pounds of ugly Fat without giving up chocolate, Ice cream, Pies, Cakes, Cookies, Pizza, Beer, French fries and Gravy and Without exercising?

Vince: yeah, try cutting off your Head. Geez !

Hahahahaha! To me you are nothing but a fat fuck! True story! Arnold told it himself. Also A.said he was never of season (fat again). Vince was truly respected or feared
