My favorite Vince Gironda story: While I training in Vince’s Gym I observed, Vince had approached someone who was resting between sets. Vince asked him, “what are you doing?”
I was at the Little America Hotel sitting at the table with Larry and others when he received news of his son Derek’s accident.
I was very lucky enough to get to know Larry Scott, the first Mr Olympia, him from 1990-1992. I happened to be stationed at Hill Air Force Base and vowed to see Larry Scott in the flesh.
Dick is the only non-famous guy who I’ve encountered who has shed some light on Vince Gironda and Vince’s ways.
I worked out at Vince’s in 1964. Larry Scott was hitting it hard. Clint Eastwood showed up and Larry Parks made an appearance. Vince was not happy seeing me do sit-ups. He told me to do crunches and I have been doing them ever since.
Hear from Ron Kosloff on why Vince was light years ahead of his peers and turned out more champions than any other trainer.
