Vince Gironda was very articulate and payed Attention to Detail. I mean if i ask some guys at the Gym do you think Sartorius development is important .. they wonīt even know it runs from the inside of the upper thigh down to itīs Insertion on the inner side of the upper knee. he trained it doing a Version of adduction using two low pulleys. No machines when he did it. Leaning back on leg extensions Training the upper quad groin area...Sissy squats... he did leg Training very different to most at that time. he really planned his physique. i donīt like all what he said but he did know his anatomy.
You can see all that you wrote in his leg development
Very thoughtful guy but not very open to ideas other than his own.
Was credited in Muscle Publications as developing Larry Scott but Larry disliked him immensely, said in press that Vince was ultimately Jealous of Larry's success and a complete c
unt.
Still , his teachings are very interesting and I agree with "certain exercises work certain areas more than others" - he was all about shaping/sculpting the muscle with certain moves and size will follow with the
illusion these moves creates.
Very bright man although very closed minded from many accounts
