Why Do Champion's Muscles Look Different?

Why Do Champion's Muscles Look Different? ($15.00)
Of all Vince's training manuals this one is the most metaphysical. This manual focuses on the mind and the attitude of the trainer. Touching on the subjects of philosophy, tranquility, concentration and visualization in greater detail than in any of the other writings. A good dip-stick into the tank of one of the true greats in the training world.

As Ron Kosloff (one of Vince's students) puts it...
"Vince was the first trainer to XXX the value and importance of the mental state and how the mind controls the body. Supreme concentration can be the difference between a great physique and a mediocre one. This was the secret that I was never aware of until Vince taught me of its value. You will see the difference."

Catalog description: none.

Vince Gironda was a forerunner of mind muscle connection, way ahead of his time. With the mind element withstanding this course offers yet another unique part to it, Vince lists his pick of exercises to bring up a lagging body part listed by body part. So if your Back is more like a bar stool not a barn door you do these for sure movements that will bring you up to the ranks of the big boys. There is a story of how Vince noted that people will do the same exercises, same weight, same tempo but will not get the same results as there training partners. After teaching them the right mind-set they too start making gains even if they do no other changes to there diet or workouts.

Some high lights are:

• How to redesign your body
• The rules of symmetry
• Factors that determine how your body looks
• Nervous Energy Force, what is it and why you need it.

Over all impression: This is a must for the true fan of the Iron Guru. It gives a glimpse into the mind of the master beyond just sets reps and diets. It was the most enjoyable of the courses. I read this one two or three times in my first sitting with it. In no other manual is there a recipe type setup for a lagging body part like this one.
