You had a great physique, Vince. Don't worry about sarcasm. He's jealous of anyone bigger and stronger than him.

Brutal lies. I've benched 350 for 3 and Olympic pressed 220 for 2.

Vince B · « **Reply #84 on:** July 26, 2006, 07:39:54 PM »

The smartest guy to ever lift a weight is Arthur Jones. No one beat him in an argument, either. We used to think whoever benched the most was King in the gym. Then later it was the guy who was the best with the women! I would rather be remembered for being a legendary fornicator than being strong! Maybe if you were both that made you the King. Seems to me that is what is behind all the putdowns on this board. Maybe I should post some hints about how to meet women? It is far easier to meet them than it is to get rid of them!

HAHAHA Monster this, monster that.

Sarcasm calls bullshit on any claim made by anyone on alsmost any lift.

Is your ego so fragile that you have to refute people's lifts as often as you do on these boards?

The thing about criticism is that it is easier to criticize something or someone than to offer anything constructive or original.

FYI: Criticism can be postive or negative (even, sometimes both), although here on GB it is almost always negative.

/keep up the good posts, Vince

I thought the same thing, I was shocked.

Vince, have you ever contacted Vince Taylor about his new line of equipment? He has several very unique and specialized units which he spoke about on PBBW. You might be able to produce them for him under a license deal and distribute them Down Under . . . The cost of shipping would more than likely be prohibitive related to selling the units down there.

Decentralized manufacturing is the only way to go.

Look, you win a contest against whoever shows up. It still takes a lot of guts to prepare for a contest and get on stage and compete. I don't claim to be big or great. I just won a national title and Paul Dillette didn't win that title. Does that mean anything? Well, it sure as heck doesn't mean I am better than he is. Paul is a giant. He had good shape and great legs. The only thing not pretty about his physique was his veins. Other than that he probably looked better than anyone ever has just standing around. No doubt about that at all. Maybe for him posing shouldn't have been necessary.

I can do without all this gay bashing crap in this thread that so many delight in doing. As if that is supposed to win a debate or point. Some here might criticize the older guys but I still train and I own a gym. I came second in two grip contests in Australia since 2001 against younger guys and no one has come close to my record of 203 pounds in the one hand pinch grip on a machine I made. Any wannabee here want to have a go and see if they can beat a guy who is going to be 64 in September? I will put $1,000 up to anyone from this board if they want to come to Sydney and see how strong they are. If nothing else you might get to see an amazing city with some of the best beaches in the world. My gym is one of the best in the world, too, and has equipment that is found no where else because I designed and built it in my engineering factory.

I have paid my dues and don't feel I have to prove anything here. I love debating but I don't put people down online. Goodness knows nobody has come close to putting me down at my gym in the 35 years I have owned it.

My best squat was 8 X 410 pounds back in 1977. My best bench press was 410 pounds. That was a strict bench press.

What sort of contest are you proposing? A grip contest? Perhaps I will send Pat Povalaitis a note and he can get a free trip to Australia.

Vince B · « **Reply #91 on:** July 27, 2006, 04:37:15 AM »

About gym equipment. I congratulate anyone who can come up with new equipment ideas. Especially if they are original pieces. I design and build things for my gym only. Quite an expensive way to do things because I have an engineering factory full of various machines. It is much cheaper to buy equipment. Larry Scott has designed some equipment but mostly benches and that sort of thing. I have built those things, too. I will look into what Vince Taylor has in his line and make a comment here. I certainly am not interested in building equipment to sell or having staff. No thanks. Welding and fabricating can be a dirty and unhealthy job so the less I have to do the better.

About Roger Walker. I was surprized when I saw Roger at a gym equipment expo here in Sydney about 3 months ago. He has lost a lot of size and is bald. Quite a shock. We had a bit of fun recalling some of the stories from the past and Roger has a different version about what happened than I do! So I guess there are some unusual stories floating around about the past. He has been successful in various rep jobs he has had for sporting goods companies he has worked for over the years. He did have a small gym for a while in the mid 1980s but that didn't last too long. Roger is quite an intelligent guy and says exactly what he thinks. He has a good sense of humour, too.

If you want to win the $1,000 you have to break my record on the pinch grip machine in my gym. You will have to lift 95 kg to win it. That is with one hand on a 2 inch wide polished stainless steel surface.

Here is the pinch grip machine before I added more weights to the stack so it has 100kg of plates now. This was a successful lift of 82.5 kg on my way to doing 92.5kg or 203 pounds that day. No one else has done over 67.5 kg on the machine and it was used in the Australian Grip Championships in 2003.

Vince B · « **Reply #95 on:** July 27, 2006, 04:55:47 AM »

This is the mirror finish on the pinch grip machine. If you look at the muscle in the right hand you can see the one between the thumb and forefinger is quite large. That is what helps you pinch a lot. I remember showing that muscle to lots of big champions such as Arnold, Sergio and Ray Mentzer, and none of them had bigger thumb muscles than I had. Not that there aren't guys out there with bigger such muscles. I used to make a joke out of it.

Vince B · « **Reply #97 on:** July 27, 2006, 05:10:27 AM »

By the way, I can't claim to be the world record holder in this event because it is not recognized by the guys who do grip events. They say I have the only such machine in the world so it doesn't count. How unfair is that? They think if I can do that much I should be able to beat everyone in pinching events using steel gym plates. Well, it seems that grip events are rather particular to surfaces, etc., and until standardization occurs then there really can be no recognized records and champions. There isn't even a world grip association. In the past if you exceeded someone's best you or someone else wrote about it and then it was 'accepted' as a world best. That is all I have done and have invited others to come and try their strength out on the machine. It is a testing machine. You have to raise the stack about 3/4 of an inch for the lever to fall. It works beautifully. The hardcore grip guys don't like that fancy stainless steel but my being a gym equipment builder I prefer using stainless steel for grips because they don't rust. I polished that surface so that there are no imperfections on it and it is absolutely smoothe. I guess I am ahead of my time. The best anyone has done with one hand using plates with a bar through the middle to add more weight is 65kg done by David Horne. That is a lot of weight and I haven't tried his apparatus and doubt I could better his mark without training on it.

onlyme · « **Reply #98 on:** July 27, 2006, 05:15:28 AM »

That is a really neat machine Vince. And 203 lbs is unreal. I used to pinch 2 45 lb plates and lift those together with the smooth side out. Ray used to try it every once in awhile and couldn't do that. He would just get it off the ground for about a second or two then drop it. I did it for almost a half a minute. Very hard stuff. and that was only 90 lbs. 203 would be awesome. Someday maybe I can try it.

Vince B · « **Reply #99 on:** July 27, 2006, 05:35:33 AM »

Hey, Keith, congratulations on pinching 2 X 45 pound plates. Not many guys can do that. I can't. So like I said various grip feats are rather particular and some guys are good at some feats but not so good on others. No one is the best on all the feats, by the way. When I posted my record on the Gripboard they wanted to know what I could lift on those smooth Olympic plates. Well, I am not good at those. But give me a polished stainless steel surface and I do much better. So in a real sense your feat is more respected than mine. Nick McKinless who is up there with David Horne in grip feats of strength could manage only 52.5 Kg on the machine in the contest and, like you, has pinched 2 X 45 pound plates with one hand. I did 80Kg that day. I think training for other grip events interferes with pinch gripping. I was going to try to see if I could pinch 100kg one day but lost motivation because of the controversy about stainless steel. I guess humans tend to support what they are good at and not support what others are good at!
