5.0 out of 5 stars Vince was the best!, July 1, 2000

By	Joe Hidalgo (Seattle) - See all my reviews

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for women too!, June 1, 2003

By A Customer

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unleashing The Wild Physique, July 23, 2001

By	Steve & Kris Dimit "dimitsk" (VIC. Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Unleashing the wild physique: Ultimate bodybuilding for men and women (Hardcover)

This book goes beyond bodybuilding as a sport or hobby. It makes you realise that bodybuilding is a way of life that can be enjoyable and rewarding. The knowledge contained within its various chapters has taken years of hard work to accumulate, making it an excellent source of expert information. This is a true body builders bible.
