Unleashing the Wild Physique

Summary: Vince was the best!
Review: I purchased this book many years ago and am looking to buy another one. I loaned it out and never got it back. Vince was a real pioneer when it came to natural bodybuilding. Unlike the "health food hucksters" of his era, Vince was one of the first to push the high, high, high protein intake for growth. He was also a proponent of the more asthetic sweeping physique. He hated powerlifting and squatting. If you didn't adhere to his strict style of form, you might find yourself barred from working out in his gym. I loved his attitude and my favorite part of the whole book was the fasting routine. I used it several times and I have never in my life felt as good as I did following that routine. I want another one of those books! If you know where I can find one...e-mail me. Thanks!

Summary: The master trainer
Review: Vince Gironda was the true master trainer and trainer of champions.

Some of his alumni include Mohamed Mokawy, Larry Scott, Don Howorth, Don Peters and actors Bill Smith, Peter Lupas, Clint Eastwood and others.

No one could create faster results than Vince. No one could transform someone like Vince. Larry Scott is a perfect case in point. Scott went from third in the Mr. Los Angeles to Mr. California about a month later to Mr. America, Mr. Universe and twice Mr. Olympia all with a lousy bone structure.

Vince placed shape, "creating the illusion" above mere bulk.

If you can get a copy, I highly recommend "The Wild Physique."
You won't believe the results.

Summary: Good for women too!
Review: Vince Gironda's training techniques are very effective for women as well.

Doing neck presses and incline db press filled in a hollow area I had around my collarbone also gave my breasts a firmer, tighter look.

Working the side delts improved on a otherwise poor bone structure and made me look better in my upper body.

I was also able to firm and tighten my legs with "Howorth squats" and pulley squeezes.

To bad Vince is gone, I would have enjoyed meeting him.
