| Review: Vince Gironda, Legend and Myth By Alan Palmieri |
This work, available as a CD ROM with
300+ pages of material, is a unique work
somewhat in the tradition of the classic
Brain Stack CD by Dennis B. Weis. Alan
Palmieri, as diverse an individual as
bodybuilding has seen, has been a lifelong
bodybuilder himself, but he’s been much
more than that. He’s been (and the list isn’t
limited to the following) a businessman, a
mayor (yes, that’s right, Arnold wasn’t the
first successfully elected public official from
the ranks of the iron game), a gym owner, a
wrestler, and not least of all these, a trainer
and a fine writer of bodybuilding and
weight-training articles. His lifetime in and
dedication to the weights has certainly
made him qualified to do his work on the
legendary Vince Gironda.

| Vince Gironda Legend & Myth by Alan Palmieri |
The uniqueness of Alan’s work on Vince stems from a wonderful interweaving of Vince
Gironda material, including training information, phone calls from Alan to Vince, where
Vince imparted vast training wisdom (along with a few of his usual verbal blasts) to Alan in
his intensely personal way, along with Alan’s sage reflections, opinions and commentary on
Gironda’s training and nutrition wisdom. Alan relates his unforgettable first phone
encounter with the Legend Himself, which as you might guess, didn’t get off to a very good
start. It almost didn’t even get off to any start at all.
Fortunately for readers, and lovers of great bodybuilding material, Alan was able to keep
Vince from hanging up on him and continued to receive the benefit of Vince’s vast
knowledge, as their phone encounters continued off and on for several years. And although
Alan never actually met Vince Gironda in person, you can sense from the exchanges a real
mutual affinity developed.
Alan’s insights about Vince are legion. He points out how Vince was often like a racing
target, as his mind and bodybuilding ideas moved at the speed of light, so the seeming
contradictions so present in Gironda’s written work, his training courses, need to be
explained or at least amplified in light of a kind of larger bodybuilding vision Vince had,
which Vince seemed to be always working, re-working, attempting to bring to a higher level
and perfect.
There were conversations, or rather lectures, about the glories of desiccated liver. There
were the edicts to, at times, cut back workouts. Usually Vince didn’t explain why, but often
Alan would later figure out a why. And this by far is his most valuable contribution to the
examination of Vince’s training and nutrition gospel, especially in light of the growing
discovery, if not revival of the Iron Guru going on today.
Also, though Alan expresses great admiration for Vince, he’s not afraid to say he
experimented with certain ideas Gironda and found them not workable for him. He also
offers astute commentary as to why some of the bodybuilding views of Vince were, though
passionately held, maybe not the final word. This is extremely refreshing and necessary, as
Vince has always engendered either such flaming passions that those for him have never
had much taste for critical review of their Master’s ideas, while those against have wrongly
dismissed him, or completely ignored him.
You will find some of Vince’s not-easily-obtainable training information, with enough to
give even the seasoned Gironda aficionado plenty to enjoy, and there will be plenty for
those new to Vince’s ideas, approaches, and personality. As an added treat, Alan has
included terrific interviews with some people who knew Vince well: the great Bill Pearl, Don
Howorth, and Larry Scott, all of whom share how in different ways Vince left an indelible
imprint.
This is a big piece of work by Alan Palmieri, yet it only tantalizes and whets the appetite for
more of the legend and greatness of Vince Gironda. Alan Palmieri’s work should be a
lasting contribution to those of us who love bodybuilding.
