Grimek was very athletic as well as being strong as hell. They made a rule up where you could only win the Universe twice because he would've kept winning it. I believe he was 38 or so when he beat Steve Reeves who was @ 24 or so at the time.

Grimek. But that's just a personal bias for an array of reasons. Both men provide inspiration and motivation beyond words.

Grimek hands down. Vince was no slouch in the shape and symmetry department, and his ideas on how to train and eat were way ahead of his time. (Not all were good, IMO, but he did have a lot of good advice).
However, in terms of appearance, Grimek had a thickness to him that Gironda never had and exuded power. Gironda lacked that quality. I'd put Grimek at the top of any bodybuilding comparison list any day of the week."Don't call me Miss Kitty. Just...don't."--Catnip. Check out the Catnip Trilogy on Amazon.com

Knew you were a Grimek fan. I remember seeing the last picture of him in the OP in The Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding, and thinking what an awesome, photo, pose, physique. Had to have been 25 years ago. Ha, just looked its the first pic in the "Bodybuilding Hall of Fame" section.Originally Posted by GuyJin

Grimek wins. His thickness was impressive. Also an accomplished Olympic lifter.
Gironda was ahead of his time pushing the(then) limits of conditioning.
Both were among my weight training heroes as a young man.
