what I said is true, to say anything else is to disrespect Vince's memory.
All you young pups think you cant build muscle without drugs but Vince proved this wrong with Mohamed and Larry.

so dumb. Don Howarth was on the sauce and Vince talked about it openly to me. You're delusional.

I agree with you 100%.

"1"

Thank you. With bodybuilding I look at it in much the same way I view the cultural malaise that afflicts so much of the world.

We cannot go back and yet we continue to go backwards all the while calling it "progress".

Maybe, just maybe what is before us is within us. That is true of so much of what passes for societal zeitgeist. We have it in our power to change but as always, change for the better is harder to achieve. People are influenced from all directions today. In the past it was family and church (not always good, hence the lower case for the latter of these two), now it's CNN and FOX. And worse.

Bodybuilding is influenced by the same sort of mentally ill men that find women with 44 EEEE breasts their cup of fetish.

Oh lord, I am rambling again.

we know you are trolling but just in case, larry scott admitted at least to taking dianabol, therefore vince g. was somewhat of a lying sellout himself.

Scott only took dianabol after he won the 66 Olympia. This is why Vince threw him out his gym and Larry retired and didn't compete in 67 as he couldn't build natural muscle without Vince and the dianabol didn't compensate for Vince's glandulars and advanced multi side muscle building techniques.

Learn some history dumbass.

mentzer bros in vince's gym circa 1980... note mike has on a george snyder olympus gym shirt...

You NEVER see guys like this anywhere in any gym with thick slabs of muscle like that and certainly not arms like that. Except maybe that Dan Hill guy.

Ask yourself this question. Why would Vince give his life to unveiling the secrets of 4 sides to a muscle training and glandular supplementation and then allow drug taking bodybuilders to enter his gym ? A gym so adorned by his own images as to be a veritable shrine to the outcome of scientific training and nutrition pre 1960.

If he let steroid users train at his gym would that not make the whole Vince Gironda mystique and legend nothing but smoke and mirrors?

I am fed up with the disrespect shown to Vince on here.

Vince B · « **Reply #34 on:** October 04, 2015, 09:09:37 AM »

Gironda let Arnold train at his gym. That says it all. Larry's physique changed in a very short period in the early sixties. We all suspected the reason for his amazing gains. Vince was an intelligent man so I doubt he was unaware of what his stars were doing.

Why indeed? If by "smoke and mirrors" you meant dope and coke, I would say you are correct. Kommiefornia (where Vince's place was located) has always encouraged the use of such all natural substances while eschewing and demonizing tobacco based products and this in spite of the fact that the Native Amuricans gave that leaf to whitey. And now they're saying "second hand vapor" is eeeeevile too.

I am certain the Vince's Gym was a palace of purity, peace and all things pleasant with all natural camel dung laden with strawberries and honey incense burning 7/24 to keep the musky odor of scrotum from the air.

Or something like that.

They were all on Blair's protein and the Nilevar he used to get for them.

Anyone that thinks Larry Scott got his body without gear is either 16 years old or the most gullible bastard on Earth with zero BB knowledge.

I recall stories of him passing out from too much D-Bol. Probably not true, but it skeered me all the same. Dammit!

Like "The Graft", Scott was narrow of shoulder but unlike Phildo, Scott's character was a mile wide.
Damn. I am old. Everybody! Stay off my lawn!

Everyone knows that Scott made his best gains by mixing Blair's powder in heavy whipping cream.

GEEZUS...
Why is that so hard to comprehend?

I assume you're just trolling

you can't really believe that nonsense (or the other crap you've posted in this thread)

Vince's gym was full of guys on steroids

If you don't believe that then I've got some old left over Weider Anabolic Mega Paks you might be interested in.

that's the only way to get the magic effect

Much wisdom in this thread. Vince is looking down and smiling at us living his legacy of natural massivity.

Yes, yes...

I almost forgot...

Fertile raw eggs, mixed with heavy whipping cream and Rheo H. Blair's secret protein powder formula that duplicated the molecular structure of human breast milk that doubles an infant's growth rate every 6 months... Sipped through a pinched straw to mimic the feeding rate of a pre-natal baby...
Plus, Vince's glandulars and plant sterols...

Scott simply admitted to dianabol use as a diversion to what he really used to get his physique.

what was true then is still true. genetics plus drugs plus (less nowadays) hard work = the trophy.

Scott wasn't great genetically except for that freakin bicep that went alll the way into the forearm, like sergio. He said that he was told so early in his training. He focused on his tricep but someone told him no, you got the bicep.

also he used to take dianabol until he pissed blood, then he would back off

and ps i believe that he worked very hard, which most people don't understand nowadays
