Danny Torgl | Learning From The Master, Vince Gironda, The Einstein of Bodybuilding

[@gttennisandfitness4476]

What a fucking great story. Vince was an absolute genius and we have so much to thank him for. Such a shame he wasn’t accepted during his time and people attacked him and tried to ruin him. He did so much for us all….if only he could have lived to 200 years old. He would be loving this

[@DrKHands-OnTherapy]

As friends of his son Guy through high school and college I was fortunate enough to learn from Vince from his son. Very very strict. Several times I watched his son guy training a man but, not listening very well, executing badly, not concentrating he’d offer this client his money back and suggest he go to a public gym. Knowledge was what he gave out. Vince really wasn’t cut out for teaching men or women who were not super serious and/or competitive. Totally, unique individual. I believe he had a degree in physical therapy so like Jack LaLanne who had Chiropractic degree had human anatomy dissection in their curriculum. Hence the deeper understanding as a foundation to develop the genius. Miss Vince, boy could he tell a joke too, what voice as well.

[@dusk6159]

No wonder that The Legend had his formation with him. Incredible silver era body by the great Vince Gironda. Love to see his son's personality and stories like that

[@mando8222]

Vince even inspected cadavers, it doesn't get anymore serious than that.💪🏽👊🏽

[@Meangenehimself]

Vince Gironda is the true Godfather. Before anyone knew anything, Vince was pioneering. RIP to one of the greatest all of time.

[@patb5266]

Amazing you got to train with Vince! I use the same principles with the contractions so to speak. Ben Pakulski turned me onto that, he calls it intentions. Makes 100% sense. Vince was a maverick and gifted. The only reason for the numbers on the weights is to keep track, not to brag. I always laugh when someone says, "how much can you bench" as I'm built and they're not lol.

[@robertfrisone9851]

Vince is the. Man, I hope u can. Speak about Vince’s diet plan too

[@hondaphan4172]

I have to thank Vince for the info he shared in the mags back-in-the-day about front squats and weighted dips because I wasn't getting the desired results from back squats and flat benching. I could feel the difference immediately and the gains quickly followed.

[@postwarmage2839]

Yes, thank you Lord. Finally someone else talking about skeletal range of motion versus muscular range of motion. I am so tired of seeing all of these noobs online commenting about doing full rom movements, and they don’t even know what they’re talking about.

[@Simon-my8pv]

So true. It’s all about feeling your body. Range of motion. Slow it down. Hold the tension. Every single finger has to be included. It’s all about consciousness. Body mind and spirit.

[@shaunigothictv1003]

This guy looks like Ric Drasin.

[@ironleader3169]

Vince told me that he originally tried to be a dancer in hollywood - hence his always graceful posing! Stunt Double? not that the ever mentioned to me and I knew him from 1965 till his passing!

[@twlttznr]

Vince's father was a stunt man. I don't recall Vince ever claiming to have been a stunt man, although he did appear in some movies. There are videos on you tube showing some of his film appearances

[@chrisweidner4768]

Thank you for this. 64 here and instinctively thinking this, but never putting it into practice. I feel that I am going to begin the most exciting part of my training now moving forward. Again, thanks. All the best. Always.

[@stefanosprokopis6974]

I remember Bostin Loyd saying how he felt he was qualified to teach people how to train. Because he transformed his body with copious amount of drugs including synthol he thought he he knew about training. Now the guy is dead at only 29. If he had trained with vince he would look amazing and still be alive and healthy.

[@charlotteh8174]

Very sad life. Only an insecure pathetic human comments upon the way another lives their life and silentlt proclaims to be a better human or know more, particularly after their tragically young death. Do better.

[@stefanosprokopis6974]

@@charlotteh8174 I'm making the point that certain Individuals have no business being training and nutrition gurus. It takes serious education to possess the knowledge necessary to instruct another person on exercise physiology and nutrition. For someone to take money from.someone thinking they possess knowledge on exercize physiology because they transformed their bodies through a deadly cocktail of drugs isn't someone that should be admired. Bodybuing is a discipline and an education that comes from years of experimentation and study. Yet so many admire the idiots that pump themselves full of drugs and have the audacity to instruct others believing they are knowledgeable when in fact they are ignorant

[@theironforce3000]

I for one couldn't give a single damn about Bostin L. What a stain he was for the fitness industry. Preached all the ped garbage and look where/how he ended up . The moment he said Zane looked like a pile of smashed assholes on an RX Muscle interview w. Dave P. , he was dead to me. Complete disrespect of the highest order.

[@stefanosprokopis6974]

@@tigertarleton2159 Vince hated the fact there was steroids in Bodybuilding. He realised most success bodybuilders that he trained were on steroids but he never told anyone they should take steroids. Vince was a training and nutrition guru. Not a drug guru and he could transform anybody that followed his teachings.

Excellent vid ! My type of content right here. That man is fortunate enough to have met and trained under vince. I'm sure he has more fantastic stories.

Thank you so much. Loved training 52 of my 65 years. This one video reaffirms and reminds me of what is wise.

[@Moniemon7]

Fascinating convo guys. Love all info I can find on Vince Gironda

[@DMRCapitalHill]

Wow, ive never heard of Vince yet my training principals are identical to his. Crazy

[@808BJJ_Black_Belt]

Great knowledge ☝🏼

[@adielstephenson2929]

The guy who's interviewing him is in great shape. I'd love to know how much he weighs and how he does it.

[@franciscleary6544]

Last week I did four new chest exercises from Vince and four back exercises. I just did one set of 10 reps of each with light weight. My body felt completely sore and different after and I slept for 24 hours.

[@SAFFRONINFERNO]

From where we can see these new exercises?

[@AbdulGhani-vm6oq]

Vince NEVER trained to failure. His physique was perfect. And he lived to a ripe old age. Its a healthy system of training.

[@adamsloane1748]

Arthur Jones invented Nautilus equipment, not Polaris equipment. Vince wrote "A Muscle has Four Sides" not three sides. Minor quibbles, perhaps, but the facts are facts. It's also highly doubtful that Vince was actively participating in autopsies by peeling the flesh back.

[@franciscleary6544]

Vince was so far ahead of his time, and he still is!

[@firebird7479]

Some B-Roll footage that demonstrates what Vince meant would have been a tremendous help here. There has always been debate about how fast or slow Vince wanted his clients to train as well as the proper range of motion.

[@grainnekelly818]

Love this 👏🏼 applying to my training tomorrow

[@luthiervandros]

Vince was the messiah of mass. He made disciples.

[@knightveg]

Well had a slight different story Vince father was the stunt man, Vince wanted to follow his father's footsteps so when he tried to become a stuntman None of the movie companies would not taken him because he was too skinny, So Vince went to his local ycm gym to lift weights to build himself up which he then became a bodybuilder It was his father's contacts with the movie companies, That they would send stunt doubles then eventually actors to transform their bodies To his gym

[@ScreamingEagleFTW]

I love this channel!

[@avatar19822]

Where can you find Vince's training workouts?

[@---Jaime-MEXICO-1962]

Great video !!!

[@michaeljohnson2922]

Based on all the videos I’ve watched it seems his biggest issue was his personality and temperament towards average people. Knowledge is never enough for real success, gotta have people skills too.

[@HiramLoki]

A genius rarely cares what others think. You are looking at the idea of success through your own lens.

[@DQ-su6qf]

There was many a day I couldn’t open my car door after working out at Vince’s…

[@rslwannabe9475]

Please god... I just want somebody to say all the Ab Excercises and the Beset Excersises i need to do to work all my abs out hard. And then the workouts for obliques.

[@kentborges5114]

WHOOPS, INSTEAD OF GIR AS INITIALLY HE SAID GHIR LATER.

[@hirepgym6913]

"DONT WASTE MY TIME" he was very very good and his ideas were from results from drug free training so worked ! not results from drugs working despite technique

[@hirepgym6913]

He was crafty too i noticed he hid hydraulic Jacks inside his wooden timber kit which like his front door came from movie sets

[@coolchronicle344]

Vince was not a stuntman. He tried but could not make the cut like his dad. Hence, the love for weights

[@dennisdouglas9348]

Vince was a DaVinci at analyzing the body though I am suspicious of the story

[@Ilethsamael]

I can absolutely tell you that almost no people are still able to use the weight with the proficiency that Vince required.

How? Can you explain in detail?

[@WhoisJohnGalt402]

Where did you get these ideas, I'm Seventy years old, I've studied Vince for years, I have more books on Mr. Gironda than you would believe, and better yet I've read most of them more than twice, people like you shouldn't talk about something you know almost nothing about. Shit like this sucks, because people will believe you ! Don't get me wrong you got a couple a things right, that is if you count his name !

[@TheRedBrethren]

so vince was wrong on the contraction being the most important

[@axelernst4329]

How can somebody who is in the Fitness and Bodybuilding World not know who Vince Gironda is 😠

[@motomaggs7164]

Getting stronger should be a side effect of working with weights, not the purpose…

[@TheBearsjunkie]

Completely opposite to Mike Mentzer method. Heaviest weight, 5 and less rep.

[@elijahwilson1422]

As smart as Vince was he clearly took in too much Vitamin A and too much Calcium for his Heart to handle.

[@DG-nb6fe]

K2 MK7 would’ve helped his heart health. That and some medical scans every 3-4 years.

[@howardmenkes2926]

Vince Gironda recommended mixing heavy cream with ginger ale to bulk up. Pardon me if I don't think he's a genius.
