Vince looks every bit as good now as when he won the Nationals in 1988.  Amazing.  Does the guy age at all??

Also...  because he trains sensibly for the long haul, his physique doesn't have that "tore up" look exhibited by a large number of competitors at the recent Masters Worlds.
Whoa whoa whoa whoa. What about this guy?

Believe it or not, ever ken jones (in the pix) looks better and definitly bigger than when he got his pro card at a bantamweight level.  i know lots of people hate on the guy, but it's true....it's damn true, lol.

How can any half way intelligent bodybuilding fan/bodybuilder/judge state that Vince looks saggy? The only thing that may be remotely "sagging" is the loose skin around his quads, due mainly to the atrophy of his vastes medial us. Nothing in his mid section is saggy. His arms/delts....in my opinion are top 3. He is simply a class act who also happens to be a genetic freak. Appreciate the positives.

Unreal...hes an awesome guy too, met him when the MRO was in Manhattan, New York, I think that was the first O Ronnie won, the year Yates retired.

Cool. He actually sat next to me in Prejudging that year.

I realize he doesn't have the physique that will garner top placings but he has the physique that most guys would love to have. Balance, aesthetics, shape and ample size. He is a great guy (from the times I've met him) and did himself proud as the oldest man in the line-up.

Thanks for the post, Max!  I find Vince far more inspiring that Ronnie, Jay or Badell!  In 1994 when I won the South African Nationals (IFBB) .... Vince was my idol.  Today, onstage, he is STILL what I aspire to look like! 

Vince is simply a CLASS act!!!!  He's what bodybuilding is all about!

Yup. I feel the same way. Hell,I didn't even know tonight was the Olympia until I logged on. It's the Physiques, look at the top two, both watery bags of shit that are way too big. Who fvcking cares.
