Mr. Vince Basile, 1970 Mr. Canada....

Recent photo taken last week. Casual, no pump.

I train arms once a week. That is all. I will be 77 in September.

Waist is too big. Too many good meals with dessert and Pepsi.

Triceps are larger than ever. Stronger, too. Which is a surprise at my age.

If I had the motivation to train twice a week I might get my arms larger.

Absolutely no drugs or supplements.

You have big ass upper arms for your age or for any age but forearms sorely lacking, and I am sure they are rock hard when flexed but that doesn't make them lean, a dietian told me that any men's arm is solid when flexed but it doesn't show it is lean.
You are full of glycogen with all that comfort eating, it helps your muscle fullness, but please stop dreaming upon improving over your prime past..
Not many will be that big at 77, so enjoy...

Vince looked good when he won the Mr. Canada. There's a thread on here comparing Vince at that contest, and a 15 year old Bob Chick, who was Natty.
Some were saying Vince was juiced for that show. Vince, did you ever speak about what you used back then? Of course you dont have to, just curious.

If you did use I would get it was minimal, like 5 mg. DBol a day or something? Feel free to ignore this, Im just curious. If 100% natty, you looked amazing.
(Looked great anyways no matter what).

great physique imo looks better than most the bubble gut and face clowns nowadays

My forearms seem in proportion to my upper arms. My right forearm is slightly larger.

Why not aim for the stars! I am determined to show Pellius and others that I can still make my muscles grow....and unlike him, I will do it naturally.

Vince, if you apply your hypertrophy principles, can you get back to your 1970 shape?

Would make an amazing super hero
Captain Hypertrophy aka Grumpy Geezer

You're a genetic freak Vince since sarcopenia doesn't exist I'm sure you could whip yourself back to the 1970's shape in no time

Exactly! Might be inspired to have a go at seeing what I can do.  

So, Joe, what is your experience at the moment re growth? A pity you aren't natural because then we could compare notes.

So you really think you’re some kind of genetic freak? My experience with growth right now is that I’m still growing but not at the rate I was 20-30 years ago. Natural or not I could take a Heavy pro cycle and still not grow the way would have if I were much younger. Face some reality Vince. I don’t know what you weigh now but I guarantee if you were 190 on stage in 1970 you would be no more than saggy 160 today

Would that also not be because your body is more used to the drugs and it's already seen most of the development it would get?

I’ve always...ALWAYS have taken way less than what most people think.

Even at 77 years of age when many struggle carrying groceries, Vince appears to have well balanced 18 inch guns. I bet Vince can still pinch grip more than most Getbiggers.

  but can he sprint 100m or do just 1 pull up 

[Henda]

Haha we all give basil shit but how many of us will be even alive at 77 never mind with decent sized arms. Yes he’s fat but he’s 77 and his maintenance calories are probably around 60 calories a day

don't forget he can pull out people's ribs with his bare hands (or so he claims)

Haha I think he’s actually threatened me with that one before or something along those lines, I’d be surprised if the old fucker could even fight sleep

[IRON CROSS]

Basil, I'll pay 4 your hair cut & complete body wax , just say yes

Majority of getbiggers probably won’t even make it to 65 in this day and age

[Marty Champions]

Bass ill,  looking like a well seasoned pervert!

[ratherbebig]

big arms for sure
and lets face it, thats all that ever mattered when it comes to bodybuilding

nobody cares about other bodyparts, there's a reason people flex arms in every photoshoot, even non bodybuilders

Any Breaking Bad fans here?  To me, Vincenzo looks like an older, gayer Gale Boddicker.

Well said.  He also has a pretty good sense of humor.  But, he's still a typist.

You definitely are living that philosophy.
