🏆 VINCE GIRONDA | El gurú del hierro
Possibly one of the least mediatic names that we have covered so far, but one of the most relevant is Vince Gironda. Surely it sounds familiar to you because of the Remo Gironda because of the Gironde funds.
He is a man who has contributed a lot to modern bodybuilding.
We can say that he was the first great bodybuilding coach, the first great creator of exercises, training techniques, and nutrition techniques, the coach of the first Mister Olympia, Larry Scott of many movie stars that we are going to talk about in the video and, as I say well, Someone who has contributed a lot to the evolution of our sport very much to the evolution of how our sport is practiced And well from here.
We are going to try to pay tribute to him by dedicating a video to him and covering what we consider most relevant in his life.
Vince was born on November 9, 1917, in the Bronx in New York.
In a very humble family, his father was an acrobat in the cinema and was an acrobat in action scenes in the cinema of the first period in which he began to see acrobats and Well.
There comes a time when he is offered a role in the movie Ben Hur in the year 25, which forces him to move to Los Angeles.
He takes his family with him.
I enter them logically to their son’s Vins and once in Los Angeles Bins begin to show an interest in dance.
Logically, we are talking about the 1920s, which is a dance that today. Well, it will be a very old dance, a classical dance.
No, It’s not going to be a Rock and Roll dance from the ’60s, but much earlier Well, despite the enthusiasm that Vince gave him, his father quickly takes the dance out of his head and tells him to dedicate himself to playing sports and well.
Then he pays attention to his interest in more normal sports.
Let’s say specifically in athletics, where he broke several regional records in relay and high jump obstacles Well from an early age.
As you can see, it was clear that he liked sports and, above all, that he was given by Y as he grew up And well.
He had to start thinking about working because at the time for a humble family going to university and studying was out of the question, They had to start working as soon as possible and he called it the Pay attention to the subject of Well.
The same thing, your father did being an acrobat in the movies, and for that, he decided to join a gym because Well he was very skinny.
He didn’t have the contribution of an acrobat.
He didn’t have any strength and he said to join a gym Well, as it usually happens, We have already seen it many times with other characters.
He joins a gym for one thing And after a short time, he forgets that thing and stays in the gym for bodybuilding. How was it Well? It was when he saw a photo of John Grimer one of the best bodybuilders of the time and decided to dedicate himself to bodybuilding at the age of 23.
Well, he went to the gym every day he weighed approximately 70 kilos And well.
He went to a gym logically, in Los Angeles, specifically in West Hollywood called Eastons Gym and there he trained under the tutelage of the owner, who made him improve a lot made.
He starts to understand bodybuilding, but above all, there is where Vince begins to imbibe the culture that existed in the bodybuilding era.
He begins to communicate with bodybuilders to interact with people from the world in the 40s, with which long before? What is the golden age of bodybuilding, but that gym James Ribbons is considered the first bodybuilding gym in history, at least in California, and after for a few years, training there, because he was offered the possibility of being a personal trainer.
You see that at the time, well, you didn’t have to have a million diplomas and things to be a personal trainer, and Well at the time he had already begun to theorize about exercises nutrition, and so on, and I see it as an opportunity To experiment with clients or to put their theories into practice, and Well logically, he says yes and begins to put the n practice his ideas, not only with himself but with his clients, Not necessarily bodybuilders, like It’s, logical, but normal people, ordinary people And well.
This allows him to develop as a coach at first develop his concepts further and start to understand.
Now finalize those ideas that later are the ones that made him popular years later And well, even though he was not yet fully refined, you could see that his clients were going at a faster pace than the others.
You could see that they were progressing More than anything.
It went better than with other personal trainers And well surely some smart people are thinking right now. Well, if their clients went better it’s because Bings gave them the Trenbolone of the time.
Well, no, In fact, Bins was always natural.
I was always against the use of substances, But well that’s a topic for another day.
The fact is that his training ideas, above all, it was already seen that they were on the right track And well p.
Seeing his success, he decided to open his gym.
He opened the famous Vinces Gym in 1948 in North Hollywood on Ventura Boulevard.
Shortly after opening the gym in 1948, he decided to try his luck in the world of competition.
He knows too much about that area because he is a competitor but hey, he did compete once specifically.
He competed in the year 49 a year after opening the gym in the Mister California championship where he came.
Fourth, in the year 50, he competed in the Mister. You say where he was fourth again in 52 then second in Mr. America behind Jim Park, and then he took a competitive break of 6 years and in 58 he was third in Mr. USA and his last competition was in 62, specifically in Mister Universe, where he finished second, and Well, as you see the competition, it is not something very important in his history.
He competed five times over 13 years, so we assume that he did not have much interest.
Yes, It is true.
Well, as I said, it was always natural and at the time in the 50s and 60s, the use of substances was already practically the order of the day Normal federations competed.
There were no natural federations, as there are today so Well.
He was at a disadvantage in quotes and Well he never managed to win an event.
Despite that, he made good positions and was a good man, I think that is natural in a time like the one that it was.
It speaks very well of him and we return to the year 48 when he opens the gym.
We have already said that in the gym strips when he was a personal trainer, he already put into practice ideas that went very contrary to what others were doing, But once he opens his gym, he is unleashed to absolute madness and begins to carry the Contrary to The whole world of bodybuilding even more, he always defended that bodybuilding was based on 85 nutrition, which is curious because he gave a lot of importance to training and where he was most contrary was in.
The training was one of the first to propose a diet low in carbohydrates, very high in protein, and with the inclusion of supplements, which was something that nobody used at the time, and this type of diet was simply a curiosity. 20.
30 years later, in the decade or the golden age of bodybuilding in the time of Arnold, etc., It is practically what was done with few hydrates and, above all, protein and fat, with some supplements with which we can assume that everything comes from bings, and you Will say what supplements he used at the time? If I imagine there was little well, he used calf, liver pills, amino acids, vitamins, digestive enzymes, and other similar products, and he defended a diet strongly based on eggs, which was something that was done a lot at the time and he defended that 3 dozen eggs Al Day they are just as powerful as Dianabol curious.
I have already heard it many times from people of the time, even earlier than what you have just heard: 3 dozen eggs.
They are as powerful as Dianabol many bodybuilders before this did that and noticed very anabolic effects.
I guess because of the egg yolk and everything in it, But hey it’s, something curious.
Today: it’s, unthinkable 3 dozen eggs a day, but hey Just a curiosity, and as for training, as I say, it is what I was most against others.
I considered basic exercises such as deadlifts, squats, and bench presses.
I considered them exercises not typical of bodybuilding but of weight lifters.
I defended that they involved too many muscles at the same time that they did not exhaust any particular muscle and he opted for isolation exercises.
I am going to give you an example of a leg workout that he used to use. It started with some hamstring, curl, Sisi, squat, jack, squat Smith, machine squat, or multipower executed in a very particular way And well, as you can see, there is no free squat to all those types of exercises.
I was very much against it.
He said that the bench press used too much deltoid towards fresh dumbbells, but he did not do it with the thumbs.
Let’s say because saying that he used too much deltoid and did it with Las Palmas, one parallel to the other, Well he said that this way the deltoid did not influence.
So it was much more chest work, and that is how he prescribed it to his clients and, above all because he attached great importance to parallel dips executed in the Gironde style, which consisted of trying to leave the chest parallel to the ground.
Wrinkling, the back carrying the elbows out, and it is a very popular execution, Arnold Lawson, throughout his life a few years ago.
They talked about it again, they made it fashionable again and it is an execution Well.
It has always been there in bodybuilding, and the vast majority of bodybuilders have used the same idea of Isolation and Seeking as long as each muscle works.
As I say in isolation he invented the famous preacher bench or some.
They call it. The Scott bench was made famous by a client of his who is now the Riscot, but he invented it to isolate the biceps.
As you can see, his idea about training consisted of trying to leave out the groups as much as possible, Secondary muscle groups, try to isolate the one we are looking for as much as possible, and once there then Search for the maximum neuromuscular connection.
We remember again that Bin opened his gym in the year 48, with which there were 20 or 30 years left, for what is the golden age of bodybuilding.
So by the time those elite bodybuilders begin to arrive who today are legends? Well, he had already had many years of experience as a trainer, many years of experience with his training ideas, and he had already managed to verify what worked, what perfecting concepts did not work, and in the year 60? Well, the first great bodybuilder arrives.
Let’s say, even though it was not yet the golden age itself, the first culture, who was called to be someone, and that boy was a kid who had just won Mister Idaho, named Larry.
As soon as he arrived in California, he met Vin Gironda.
He began to work with him and after that, he became the first bodybuilder in history to win all the biggest events in the world.
Win.
Mr. America wins Mr. Universe and the inaugural, Mr. Olympia.
Also defended the title the following year, in 66 after Larry, because many stars came not only from bodybuilding but from the world of cinema as well, and that also took place because the gym was located in a great place. It was in Hollywood with which Vince took charge of the physical changes of great movie stars such as Clint Eastwood, Silvester, Stallone, Denzel, Washington, George Hamilton, and Michael Landon, among many others, As well as expected.
Thanks to that success.
Well, he became a superstar.
He was known as the guru of the irons and little by little, the golden age was approaching and great bodybuilders of the IFB began to pass by people like Luferino people like Frank, Sainz, Mohamed Macawie, and of course, Arnold himself was one of his most famous clients, Joe Wither sent him to work with Vins when he arrived from Austria, not at the age of 20, for a very simple reason, and that is that his legs were very unbalanced and he wanted Vince to help him compensate for them to be what everyone believed.
Arnold could be that it was the future of bodybuilding with which Arnold is presented to everyone, as I say because he always praised Arnold and everything that Vince told him.
The first time he met him was that he only saw – and I quote verbatim to Fat and Well after such a beautiful Introduction to bins.
They begin to work together and practically.
The rest is history.
Arnold’s legs.
Indeed, they were not his strong point, but at the time nobody had extremely powerful legs, well They did make up for it, and, as I say, the rest of his story in addition to everything we have already talked about During the 70s. He collaborated with Iron Man magazine where he wrote articles with his ideas with his theories Well theories that were already in the 70s, were more than proven well after the next few years.
Hundreds of articles were written for them in the following decade.
In the 80s, he published his first book called Wild Physic, where he expanded even more on his theories during which he spoke of his experience and promoted the book because he toured the United States and Canada, where he did seminars.
The first Tour of that style was doing seminars in gyms by theaters, where he managed to do it and all the seminars he did were full of what Well.
It was a great success.
People speak very well of the figure of Vince because people want to hear him.
People wanted to see him, and after a few years in 1995, we decided He closed his gym at the age of 78 and two years later, in 1997, at the age of 80.
He died And well, we put an end to his story, but, as you can see, he has been a character who has contributed a lot to bodybuilding to the way of doing bodybuilding, above all, also to have a critical mentality with bodybuilding, because there is no Universal Way of doing things you can always improve, you can always question popular beliefs and Well, I think someone was the first great guru, the first great bodybuilding coach.
That has contributed a lot And well.
I hope that this little tribute is up to the figure. If you liked the video leave a like leave, a comment subscribe to the Channel.
