I used to be a big fan.  Even met the guy once at his gym.  Now I see he's just another bb phony. you can't tell me he didn't at least take amphetamines to get cut and all of his star pupils used.  :-\

I had(maybe still do) Unleashing the Wild Physique and Gironda recommended taking over 250 pills a day!!!!!!!  All vitamins, kelp, etc, but Jesus Christ that's a lot of pills.  Some of his exercises were interesting, though.  Some of it backed up a bit by EMG experiments by Bret Contreras.

Gatorade is shit, loaded with dextrose but even worse food dyes.

No actually, but I did do the 30 per day along with brewers yeast in OJ,glandular protein powder,and a myriad of other nasty shit......all of it brought my bodyweight up to a whopping 105 pounds of solid virile steel !  ;D

LOL!

Rmj, I've a serious question for you.  No "hating" or somesuch childish nonsense.

You definitely don't care for Mentzer or his nuthuggers. We've established that beyond any doubt, I think ;)

You also don't seem too fond of Yates.

You also think Gironda sucks.

Fair enough, but riddle me this: is there anyone in bodybuilding you DO like?

Some of his ideas seem sound but he also had to sell a dream.

Yeah, I remember getting a set of angled dip bars so I could do those pronated Gironda dips one Summer - really liked the area they gave me DOMS (yeah I know - broscience)



FWIW at that time I was obsessed with improving my shoulder width, so I was also doing those Steve Reeves 'reverse the plates and grab the lip' movements
