i noticed that after his mr olympia 1992 appearance vince suddenly got bigger and bigger as each year passed by..vince taylor looked at his biggest at mr olympia 2001..also he looked like a fuckin monster from 1996 to 2001..he looked bigger than alot of guys such as shawn ray,ronnie coleman etc..its hard to believe vince never won a mr olympia...i hope vince does well at this years olympia.here are some pics from british grand prix 1996..damn i never knew vince was a fuckin monster

Yeah, he's got a good shape to him does Vince - good arms and torso in general. Awesome physique that hasn't diminished too much with age.

yes and one legged high rep leg press bull shit.

amazing he had any thickness at all.

anyone that tries that shit, forget being big and strong unless your doing some serious cycles.

jem123 · « **Reply #12 on:** September 16, 2006, 08:31:17 AM »

I remember reading that he never used to squat either. He had a great shape. Too bad that he was around at the same time as the Yates.

BEAST 8692 · « **Reply #13 on:** September 16, 2006, 08:43:42 AM »

i remember reading haney believed that vince looked like him and he would be his successor and shit.

don't know which specific drugs made haney say that.

haney had monster thick pecs and back that made his arms look smaller.

vince lacked back and chest which made his arms look bigger.

different structures.

I hung out with Vince quite a lot back in the late 90s and I can tell you that most of the rumors you have heard of his is true.

His training was nothing more than extended warm up sets. Never used heavy weight and very very rarely used free weights. High rep isolation movements.

he was never out of shape or overweight in the offseason.

and his diet was just as people heard it, 2-3 meals per day. None of this 7-8 that people eat.

The man simply had the genetics that everyone else but Ronnie would actually cry tears for.

is it true he'd pig out on burgers and coke within those 2 - 3 meals?

Stavios · « **Reply #17 on:** September 16, 2006, 09:20:07 AM »

yeah, plus he is a construction worker and he works from 6am to 8pm days a week

I would do that, I'd weight 125 pounds

Biceps hanging off the table?

? Ok...

Hulkster · « **Reply #23 on:** September 16, 2006, 03:41:43 PM »

personally, I think if Vince Taylor had shown up at the 1992 Olympia in his 1992 Arnold Classic condition (rather than the infamous pirate that showed up onstage) he could have beaten Dorian Yates that year.

He was that good back then - no real flaws on him. great muscular shape. great detail.

great arms, full back and everything

1992 was the year he could have won it all..but didn't

JKDMan · « **Reply #24 on:** September 16, 2006, 03:48:14 PM »

Vince was Haney's prediction to be his heir apparent, bit it never materialized. Too bad, as I much prefer his physique to Dorian's.

Great physique and one of the friendliest (if not the friendliest) male pro bodybuilder I've ever met.
