10 RENEGADE Beliefs of Vince Gironda
by Mike Westerdal of CriticalBench.com
Vince Gironda is one of bodybuilding’s pioneers. In fact many call him the father of bodybuilding. His roots go all the way back to the mid-1900s, when he opened his own gym in 1948, in North Hollywood, California. As a trainer and gym owner, Vince quickly developed a reputation as a trainer of champions, including the very first IFBB Mr. Olympia in 1965. From there, his fame grew and his gym began attracting some of the biggest names in bodybuilding, including Lou Ferrigno, Frank Zane and even Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Vince became well known for being a trainer of champion bodybuilders and Hollywood celebrities, but his training concepts and philosophies generated a lot of controversy. Many of his ideas were considered to be unconventional by much of the bodybuilding community. Despite his ‘unorthodox’ viewpoints, a lot of people really believed in Vince and his theories about bodybuilding and nutrition. Let’s take a look at some of the most polarizing things Vince said, and you can decide for yourself if he was truly ahead of his time.
1. Vince was one of the earliest professionals to make a strong connection between nutrition and performance. In fact, he went even said that bodybuilding was ‘85% nutrition.’ Some of his nutrition ideas were very controversial—like reducing carb intake during a cutting phase. Or the fact that he was a big proponent of drinking raw, unpasteurized milk, which has generated a big debate over the last couple of years. Some bodybuilders swear by it, but governmental health regulators consider drinking raw milk a dangerous practice—so much so that it’s banned in a number of states.
2. He didn’t believe in the bench press for building the pecs. He said that it put too much emphasis on the front deltoids and not enough on the pectoral muscles. Yikes! Tell that your buddies at the gym and see what kind of reaction you get. Instead of the bench press, Vince favored what he called the ‘neck press,’ which is sort of like a bench press, but instead of lowering the bar to your chest, you lower it to your neck, using less weight and a wider grip.
3. To improve digestion, Vince believed that it was important to put your legs and feet up higher than your stomach after every meal.
4. Vince did not believe that you should listen to music when working out. He felt that it was too distracting to bodybuilders. For him, music was only good for doing aerobic exercises.
5. In sharp contrast to what most experts say, Vince believed that beginning bodybuilders should train six days a week—not the three to four days a week you see advocated today. He reasoned that beginners are so full of energy and enthusiasm, that six days a week was good for them. He ruffled a lot of feathers with this one.
6. A fierce advocate of all natural bodybuilding, Vince believed that bodybuilders should eat up to 36 raw, fertilized eggs every day. He said that the effects of this were equivalent to taking the steroid Dianabol. Can’t even imagine where you’d find raw, fertilized eggs these days.
7. Unless you were a woman or a guy without any ‘junk in the trunk’ Vince didn’t believe in regular back squats—a staple of most any bodybuilding routine. Instead, he favored sissy squats, front squats and his own modified squat.
8. This isn’t so controversial now since it’s pretty widely accepted but Vince was one of the very first bodybuilding professionals to deride the sit-up as a strategy for building the abs. Back when he first made his thoughts on the subject known, you can bet riled some top professionals of the day.
9. And speaking of abs, Vince believed that most guys wasted far too much time training their abs. According to him, spending too much time training the abs shocked the central nervous system, disrupting muscle growth in other areas of the body.
10. According to Vince, there is such as thing as too much protein. A lot of guys would disagree with this but Vince said that excessive protein intake results in the opposite effect of what you want to achieve by consuming lots of protein. Vince had this crazy idea that you should consume the amount of protein that is right for you, based on gender, age, fitness level, training routine and lifestyle. In his mind, it’s foolish to consume massive amounts of protein just because some other guy is doing it.
So there you have it, ten of Vince’s more controversial viewpoints. You can decide for yourself whether or not you think Vince just liked controversy or was way ahead of his time.

Je terminerai mon propos en vous précisant que ce livre est paru au Japon en 1997, et que Murakami énon?ait encore, de fa?on prophétique : Plus précisément, ce que jespère faire reconna?tre, cest que le système de gestion des crises est en soi erratique et tristement inadéquat, au Japon. ? la lumière de ce qui sest passé à Fukushima, il nest pas évident quil ait été entendu par les autorités de son pays…
Ceux-là débourseront-ils 200 ? pour bénéficier d’Android?? Probablement pas quand ils découvriront qu’une myriade d’usines chinoises proposent un nouveau type de matériel, des sticks Android (en vente notamment ). Comptez une soixantaine d’euros pour récupérer ces joujoux à brancher sur l’entrée HDMI d’un moniteur ou d’un téléviseur. Après quoi, puisqu’ils sont compatibles Bluetooth, il suffit de les marier à un clavier sans fil et à une souris pour disposer d’un ordinateur tournant avec Android. Gr?ce au port micro-SD, vous disposez également d’un lecteur de fichier audio/vidéo portable low-cost à emporter chez ses amis ou en vacances. Pour le moment aucune grande marque (LG, Samsung, Asus…) ne propose ce type de matériel mais ?a ne devrait pas durer. On attend les hostilités du c?té dAlcatel et d’autres acteurs battant pavillon chinois depuis leur revente.
C’est un succès indéniable pour cet homme renversé par un coup d’Etat en 1999 et contraint à l’exil. L’ampleur de la victoire de son parti, la Ligue musulmane, a même surpris les spécialistes pakistanais. Elle remporte presque la majorité absolue et pourra quasiment gouverner seule, des élus sans étiquette l’ayant rallié depuis sa victoire. ?
Yeah. [Laughs.] You got me, man.
Friel has been dating Notting Hill star Rhys for two years, and told Easy Living magazine: “I do want another child, but it’s not something I want to rush into at his point in my life with Rhys. I think he would like his own child, but I’m not sure we’re ready yet.”
Standing with Mr Kerry at the Foreign Office, William Hague said that “an appalling injustice is being done to the people of Syria, which the world cannot ignore. In the face of such murder and threat of instability, our policy cannot remain static as the weeks go by, and it is an important opportunity in Rome on Thursday to discuss this with our allies and partners.”
Asked by Mr Cameron what they would do if they ran the school, one child replied: “Open a library.”
Kane and company closed out the evening’s performance with live renditions of a few of the emcee’s most revered classics. While artfully rendered versions of “Ain’t No Half Steppin’” and “Smooth Operator” left audience members in awe, it was Kane’s final performance of “Raw” off his seminal 1988 debut Long Live the Kane that brought patrons to their feet. As the Brooklyn titan strutted across the stage unleashing a flurry of polysyllabic rhymes, it became clear that even after two-plus decades in the game, nobody does it quite like Kane. by
For the past two years, I’ve been studying music. I’ve been studying myself and I’ve been trying to figure out the overall approach that I want to have on this next project. And I took some time to figure these things out and I was in the studio with my boy Raak, who produced the record, and we were just listening to a bunch of different records and we ended up getting the sample sent to me by my brother and he’s like, “Yo, you gotta flip this.” So we’re listening to it and Raak?starts manipulating it the way that he does and the next thing you know—cause she’s actually saying “brain” in the song but we found a way to make it sound like “pray.” So when I heard that I knew actually the way I wanted to approach it. I felt like this was the record that was going to be that raw, introductory song all over again for me leading up to this new project. I was like, “I wanna make this one super special.”

The National Institute of Economic and Social Research agrees, adding that “the period of depression is likely to continue for some time”. (The NIESR defines “depression” as “a period when output is depressed below its previous peak”.) The good news, if you can call it that, is that the NIESR believes that the recession is over – technically, at least, because it defines “recession” as a period when output “is falling orreceding”.
The Conservative leader of Cumbria county council Eddie Martin said: “Cumbria has a unique and world-renowned landscape which needs to be cherished and protected. While Sellafield and the Lake District have co-existed side by side successfully for decades, we fear that if the area becomes known in the national conscience as the place where is stored underground, the Lake District’s reputation may not be so resilient.”
“Music is still our bread and butter, but more than 10m people have Shazammed television in the last year. Those are real and meaningful numbers for networks, brands and agencies.”
