Amazing information, some of it i have found out personaly and some of it i find hard to believe. I guess like he said a weightlifter can't be a bodybuilder and a bodybuilder can't be a weightlifter. But turning down compound movements? that seems kind of crazy. I don't use a ton of compounds but like squats, deadlifts, benchpress(although i do it with db's) those are some of the best exersizes for building muscle for me (and i have tride isolation exersizes before they didn't work as well)

very interesting article, i wish they would post some of Vince's workout routines, diet plans and so on, im just curious about some of the details of his methods.

I also agree about compounds, i think you should incorperate SOME (incline bench, squat/legpress, deads, militarys) into your workout, they do produce more growth than isolations by far.

About The Author

Alan Palmieri has a diverse background. In addition to being a five term mayor he has credentials in the field of business as well as politics. He operates his own business and has held positions in corporate management; conducted professional development, government, political relations and business management classes at the University of Tennessee.

At one time, the owner operator of a 30,000 square foot gym, one of the largest and best equipped in the southeast. For about two years, he operated his own Karate / Self Defense studio. Alan wrestled professionally for a short while and worked as a bouncer and bodyguard. Over the years, he has trained countless individuals and has conducted seminars and lectures on bodybuilding, as well as being the author of several published articles, courses and bodybuilding publications. He has appeared in various magazines and newsletters on bodybuilding and has appeared on TV as well as being interviewed on the radio.

He has served as a judge for numerous bodybuilding events as well as promoting and holding several bodybuilding contests. He is the past State of Tennessee President of the IFBB and was awarded the prestigious IFBB Certificate of Merit.

Alan began his bodybuilding endeavors in the early 60’s during what many consider bodybuilding’s “Golden Era”. Back in those days you had so many greats like Draper, Scott, Pearl, Poole, Sipes, Yorton, Zane, Ortiz, Pearl, Howorth, Oliva, the introduction of Schwarzenegger just to name a few. No period in time saw so many greats that stood as inspiration for so many. It was a time when bodybuilders had to work, go to school and sometimes both. It was a simple time with a lot of unity. People did not understand what bodybuilding was all about. Bodybuilders were more misunderstood than understood. Times have changed.

No longer as active in bodybuilding, Alan continues to receive requests for information and guidance from people concerning bodybuilding and weightlifting. He has always talked against the use of drugs and steroids in the sport and promoted natural bodybuilding.

Not as intense or regular with his training, the following represents the measurements Alan possessed while he was active in bodybuilding. The before column are measurements before Alan began training as a youth. The after column represents measurements obtained at, what he considered was his personal best.
