Vince G. was strictly a muscle spinner.
His top students were all drug monkeys even though Vince detested steroids.

But they didn´t need "Iso-Butt" machines

If you squatted properly you wouldn´t need that shit

Can't squat right now as I've got a pulled hamstring.

Reeves Deadlifts are very hard to do. Hurts my fingers to hold the weights like that.

Seated Broom stick twists.. back in the day i always started my ab workouts with 3 sets of 200 reps of these

I did enjoy doing them & mainly trained my abs at home, still like them as a warm up

but not 3x 200, 2x 50 is enough

The Original Roman Chair is never seen now but i still do them sitting sideways over a Bench feet braced under a Barbell.
was a favourite of Zabo & Frank Zane

You can't even find a classic type Roman Chair for sale.

They are not made anymore.

Search for "Roman Chair" and all you find is hyperextension benches.

yes & it´s a shame because it´s a great exercise
I have a small sit up Bench which is these days called a Roman chair but at a slight angle, interesting to note is guys like Arnold put a block of wood under their original Bench to slightly incline it.
maybe why they are now inclined & not flat as before.
