 Vince's Gironda's Books Ranked Best To Worst

by Mindept on Jun 02, 2024

Don't be fooled by the title of this article.

None of Vince's works or books are objectively bad so coming up with the ranking system was kind of tricky.

In the end, I was able to rank these works by Vince based off on impact, how well they connected with me, and how well they're likely to connect with and be useful to the thousands of fans of Vince, the Golden Era, and bodybuilding as a whole.

As an ardent fan of bodybuilding, and professional in a career spanning more than 30 years, I've come across many fitness gurus and their teachings, but none has intrigued me more than Vince Gironda.

Known as the 'Iron Guru', Vince revolutionized the world of bodybuilding with his innovative training methods and nutritional philosophies.

His legacy lives on in a series of books that serve as manuals for muscle development and overall fitness. These books offer a deep dive into his unique approach to bodybuilding that was way ahead of its time.

Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting out in your fitness journey, there's something here for everyone who wants to understand more about building an exceptional physique.

He introduced revolutionary training techniques that challenged conventional wisdom, forever changing the landscape of bodybuilding. His unique approach to posing played a crucial role in shaping what we now know as the classic physique. 

Unlike other trainers who focused solely on size, Vince emphasized symmetry, definition, and balance while crafting one's body. Every bodybuilding pose he taught wasn't just for show; it was designed to maximize each individual's unique attributes and highlight their hard-earned muscle gains.

Vince Gironda's legacy extends beyond his groundbreaking training methods; he was also among the firsts to recognize the importance of nutrition in achieving optimal physical performance. 

He championed protein powder long before it became a staple in every gym-goer's diet routine. His emphasis on clean eating and high-quality nutrients set him apart from his contemporaries and solidified his place as an early pioneer in sports nutrition science. Even today, many athletes swear by his nutritional advice as they work towards developing their own classic physiques.

Read Vince Gironda's bodybuilding classic here now

It's no mystery that champions sport a unique physique, sculpted to perfection through rigorous training and dedication. But have you ever wondered why these bodybuilding champs look different from your regular gym-goers?

Vince Gironda's book 'Why Do Champions Look Different' offers some insights into this intriguing question. The book uncovers the secrets behind the muscular pose of these athletes, taking us through their posing routine which is more than just flexing muscles in front of a mirror.

In 'Why Do Champions Look Different', he delves deep into mandatory bodybuilding poses, explaining how each one accentuates different muscle groups to give that awe-inspiring appearance on stage.

 Fourth Place: How I Trained the Movie Stars

 

Read Vince Gironda's bodybuilding classic here now

Under the glitz and glamour of Hollywood, there's a grueling world of sweat-soaked workouts and iron-willed discipline - welcome to 'How I Trained the Movie Stars'. This book is one of Vince Gironda's most fascinating offerings.

It provides a behind-the-scenes look at how some of the biggest names in Hollywood transformed their bodies for demanding roles. With his unique training methods, Vince Gironda shaped not just physiques but careers, turning everyday actors into on-screen legends.

In 'How I Trained the Movie Stars', Gironda shares his unconventional yet highly effective techniques. For example, he believed that conventional exercises often didn't lead to balanced muscle development.

So he created poses like the double biceps pose and triceps pose which were designed to isolate and work specific muscles more intensively.

He also taught his clients different ways to handle weights, suggesting that lifting wasn't only about strength but also about technique, control, and understanding one's body.

As you dive deeper into this captivating read, you'll find it isn't your ordinary fitness guidebook; it's a treasure trove of insights from a legend who dared to challenge mainstream beliefs about bodybuilding.

By sharing detailed workout routines including chest pose exercises for developing an impressive pectoral profile or understanding why symmetry matters as much as size in building an attractive physique – Vince leaves no stone unturned.

You can almost feel yourself sweating under his gaze as he pushes you towards physical excellence through these pages! This book is indeed an embodiment of Vince's philosophy: refining our bodies is not just about aesthetics or health but ultimately an ongoing journey towards self-discovery.

Fifth Place: The Sissy Squat

Read Vince Gironda's bodybuilding classic here now

Don't be fooled by its deceptive name, the Sissy Squat is a demanding exercise that tests your grit and determination, pushing you beyond perceived limits while sculpting those coveted quadriceps. The workout method takes center stage in one of Vince Gironda's most renowned books, 'The Sissy Squat'.

This book delves into the specifics of this powerful exercise, which was famously embraced and popularized by bodybuilding legend Tom Platz. Gironda shares insightful tips and techniques to master the move with precision.

In 'The Sissy Squat', he elaborates on how this particular movement can ignite your quads unlike any other exercise, enhancing muscle separation akin to what one might see in Tom Platz's legendary thigh pose.

While it may not be as widely recognized or performed as other leg workouts at Crossfit Games or local gyms due to its challenging nature, its benefits are undeniable according to Gironda's teachings.

As I turned the pages of this exceptional book, I found myself engrossed in Vince Gironda's words - a mixture of wisdom and motivation that urged me to explore my physical boundaries further.

His explanation about employing correct form during a sissy squat – feet firmly planted, hips tucked under while lowering oneself slowly until knees touch calves – resonated deeply within me.

Reading through it felt like having personal training sessions with Gironda himself! If you're looking for a new challenge or want to take your quad training up a notch or two then 'The Sissy Squat' could serve as an invaluable guidebook.

This collection of books is a treasure trove of knowledge from one of the most influential figures in bodybuilding history. In terms of Vince's Gironda's books ranked best to worst, these files definitely sit comfortably at the top end.

Eight Place: A Muscle Has 4 Sides

Ever thought about the fact that a muscle has four sides? Well, it does and understanding this can revolutionize your workout regimen.

Vince Gironda's book 'A Muscle Has Four Sides' is an embodiment of his innovative approach to bodybuilding, explaining how muscles are not flat two-dimensional entities but complex structures with multiple facets.

The concept is simple - every muscle has four sides and by effectively training each side, you can maximize growth and definition. This idea becomes evident when we consider critical positions like the double bicep or mandatory poses in bodybuilding.

In Gironda's perspective, traditional exercises only target one or two aspects of a muscle leaving the rest underdeveloped. For instance, when most people perform a biceps pose they focus on the peak contraction at the top of the curl.

However, Gironda advocates for movements that stimulate all parts of the muscle including those often neglected such as during a rear double or quarter turn pose where some parts of muscles might not seem as engaged.

So here's what I suggest: next time you hit the gym, keep in mind that elusive fourth side of your muscles. Think about angles and techniques that'll allow you to reach those hard-to-get areas.

It's not enough to just pump iron; you need to think critically about how each movement affects your physique from all angles if you wanna see results worth bragging about.

Just remember - there's more than meets the eye when it comes to sculpting an impressive build!

Conclusion

In the realm of fitness literature, Vince Gironda's books are akin to the Holy Grail. They offer timeless insights into bodybuilding and overall physical health that can't be imitated.

I've read all his works, and believe me, they're a gold mine! From 'Unleashing the Wild Physique' to 'A Muscle has 4 Sides', each book is a riveting journey towards achieving fitness nirvana.

Don't miss out on these gems!
