old gym's are cool.  I like the way they used to be back in 93.  That was a Gold age for gyms.  0.0 gyms are that cool now.
you really are retarded brother...

really?  why do you say that?

By the way have you ever watched the 93 O telecast.  Jim Quinn had some great color commentary going.  I hope they bring him back for this year's webcast.

well he could certainly report on it if Billy Smith were invited in to measure them, although I don't know if Smith would be allowed to take the calipers from Golds.  The gym may own the set.

You seem like a persistant fella SS how about you put an APB out for Billy Smith then perhaps you could start a petition we could present to Matteo the manager at gold's venice to allow the golden calipers to be released from the vault for the olympia weekend?

Well I'm outside Billy's house stealing his wifi right now so maybe I'll just knock on his door and see if he can help.  He already helped us a lot back in 93 by documenting the incredible condition of Flex Wheeler, good thing he passed his findings on to Jim Quinn so they could be recorded for Posterity.

I would like to see some INcredbile photos.  photos of people with amazing condition, maybe even some of the best conditioned individual as measured by caliper body fat testing at Gold's gym prior to the 93 O

West Ryde (where vince's gym was for 30 years) isn't renowned for it's hot women...

more like fat single mothers out in that area generally...

the hotter girls in sydney live near the beaches or the city itself

I hear the climate there is pretty similar to what you get in southern california or venice italy.  It's been that way since way before 1993

Hey, those are some of our best gals. West Ryde has a lot of working class areas around so that colours the people there. We had people coming from long distances to train there.  We don't get many fat women training there, either. Just the usual mix that you see in most gyms. We have always had more male members and that has always worried us because we got a reputation for being a serious gym and that has been something very difficult to change. That is partly why I changed the name to Vince & Roz's Fitness World and it is now simply V&R Fitness which I don't think is as good. We did much better in the 3000 sq ft primitive gym than in our 20,000 and 30,000 square foot clubs we have had for the last 15 years. I think the mix is quite good at the moment and the test is to see if you can attract all types of members and not just muscleheads. I made some nice dumbbells but only up to 130 pounds. We have one member who weighs about 340 pounds and he benched 575 a couple of weeks ago. He needs bigger dumbbells. So the gym is always evolving.

We are near the middle of Sydney but about 1/2 an hour from the Downtown and 40 minutes from some of the beaches. Sydney has 4 million people and is huge. Everyone here wants to have their own home so the density isn't like you find in big American cities such as LA or NY. The climate here is similar to northern Florida or southern Georgia.

Is the density anything like what the calipers of Billy smith found on the body of Flex wheeler back in 93 at the Venice Golds?  Jim Quinn reported that that was pretty dense during the O telecast that went on later that year.

Hijacking threads takes real talent. Some people with agendas have gimmick accounts. Just don't expect any more responses in this asylum.

I don't expect anything I respond to everything.  Flex's name was preordained because you can't Flex fat, so flex is diametrically opposed to Fat.  SO the name was prophetic because even though he was born with BF after many years of training in 93 he became the first person to ever be measured at the venice golds to lack it, that is Body FAT.

She made him look thin.  so it was kind of selfish getting involved with her.  Imagine 93 Flex standing next to that human mountain of shit.  He would have looked so awesome that Billy smith probably couldn't have even kept his shit together long enough to calliper him.

Larry Scott is a natural teacher and perhaps the best technician as far as exercises are concerned. He won the Olympia with the least gifted genetics of any of the winners. Here he is demonstrating how to do biceps to get the long head developed close to the elbows.

Vince I recall seeing these photos of larry in an old MuscleMag. Did you have anything to do with that article?

View of part of the main room at our gym. Those weight stacks are 150 Kg or 330 pounds. The other machine has stacks of 300 pounds. I have another 4-way I need to install soon.

That is one sweet gym . . . do you have any unique calve equipment?

I found an old photo from 1974 taken at my gym. It was one of the first 'seminars' that Arnold gave in Australia. I have several more photos taken that day. I asked Arnold plenty of questions then the audience asked theirs. He did a posing routine too then demonstrated exercises. The guy was huge! Next he went to Tony's Gym for a posing routine then came to my penthouse apartment at Manly for dinner and some fun. He disappeared for a while and couldn't be found.
And you guys accually believed the shyt that was coming outta Arnies mouth  - if he wasn't talken bout steroid cycles he wasn't telling you shyt that would have you looking anywhere close to his size!!
