Vince Gironda: Iron Guru — Secrets of the Wild Physique
Love him or hate him, you can be certain a conversation about Vince Gironda and his training methods and nutrition philosophies will give voice to the wallflowers. So, what about it? Let’s talk! Here’s our jump off point: a book review discussion of Vince’s Unleashing the Wild Physique.
I do think we’ll be able to crank out a good discussion. There’s a lot of variety in this material, and should be something unusual for everyone. Grab the book and start reading — it’s an easy read, lots of pictures and commentary, and includes Vince’s thoughts that were at the time radical, but have now become mainstream. We’ll even try to sort out which of the Iron Guru’s principles failed completely over time, something that may save you some training time that could be used differently.
The original self-published The Wild Physique is available for $25 through IronGuru or at Vintage Muscle Mags, and the identical Unleashing the Wild Physique re-published by Robert Kennedy is available at Amazon, $27. Those who don’t want to buy the book will be able to find an interesting topic starter from the online articles at IronGuru, or from the generous guys over at the Vince’s Gym Forum, such as from pages like Vince Gironda’s Inside Tips or Vince Gironda’s training secrets.
Or simply respond to the threads that have been started earlier this week. You’re welcome to add your thoughts or ask the questions you’ve always wondered about Vince’s gym, the Iron Guru, his training and nutrition philosophies or the guys who trained at Vince’s. I’m unclear if any women trained there; we’ll ask the Gironda experts in the Wild Physique forum and find out.
Recently in the forum we discussed Bill Starr’s The Strongest Shall Survive and Rob Faigin’s Natural Hormonal Enhancement, and were happily able to get input via Q&A from both authors. Next up, the forthcoming revision of Mark Rippetoe and Lon Kilgore’s Starting Strength, due out this summer.
Let’s head on over to the new Gironda’s Wild Physique review forum and stir up some dust.
