Vince's Gym - dismantled and sold piece by piece - someone lied

[jwb]

Old school equipment is not really appreciated by most people, but there are a few who appreciate the history of old iron. I'm a part owner of a very old school gym here in Philly. Ed Ryan's gym is where Ron Tuefel trained in the 70's, and virtually nothing has changed. Its a cool vibe to train in a real-deal dungeon. Our rack of dumbels are globe style, and a Lot of our 45s are deep dish York's.

Check out old school delts by Frank mcgrath on youtube or iron intelligence by Evan Centopani, both were filmed at Ed Ryan's Gym. If you're looking for a good gym where no one is looking at their cellphones, no lockers, no one trying to sell you shit, wear whatever you want, listen to whatever you want, use as much chalk as you want, try out the gym for a month..seriously it's a good spot

are they welded on the ends or have hex bolts on the ends?

both. By the time they grym, Kimber and dam wheres my brain got rid of these there were a mixture of both. The old welded ones are awesome. The hand painted numbers. These have a very very cool back story about their journey to finally end up at my place.

Bodymasters is the last I remember -

Where in Philly is it?

Where in Philly is it?

Glenolden

[Ronnie Rep]

Glenolden

Have to check it out when I come up there.

[Virgil]

It's not in Philly, I just said that because if I'd said Glenolden no one would know what I'm talking about. Glenolden is kind of a shitty suburb just below Philly, right off 95

[Slik]

these guys? What's the story?

yes that's them. I spent way too much time on getbig today lol. I'll post the story as I update the Brickyard thread 😊

[Never1AShow]

What's with all the bare feet pictures?  Was Gironda a foot schmoe?

  know Glenolden, I'm from N.E. Philly. Have lived in S, FL. for a long. time but still get up there from time to time.

[bigbychoices]

someone had to mention "schmoe" in this post.  NO. guys back in the day trained calves barefoot to really feel the calves working. it activates much more muscle that way. your toes grip the rounded ( somewhat) foot pad. even squating leg pressing etc is all better barefoot. dont believe me? try it. most gyms wont let you though for "sanitary and health and of course liability" reasons. vince a schmoe?  obviously you have no clue who vince really was. even joe gold ( who was gay) was not a 'schmoe. vince was a no bs kind of guy. he even told arnold that he was FAT   (actually a fat fuck). lol

he believed in going barefoot esp. for calf work..that's why the calf raise apparatus was padded

Does it matter? In contrast to most women, free weights age pretty well
