vince gironda said that eating 36 eggs a day was like taking a mild cycle of dianabol

[CaseinPoint]

raw or cooked??

who was that japanese bodybuilder that ate like 50 raw eggs

Is this the same guy who ate raw chicken breast?

[Jem777]

yea but look at him now he's dead

He died a month from his 80th birthday though, which is pretty damn old.

wow srs? i can go through 12 egg scrambled eggs and be hungry guaranteed 5 hours later..

I eat them hard boiled though, after the 5th it gets a bit meh.

[vazquez]

he also stopped explaining himself after the 60's because he couldnt believe how ****ing dumb people got about bodybuilding.

i'm one of those dumb people..........more from ignorance than stupidity.

do you know of any literature on his training protocols? apparently he contributed alot to muscular development along with john grimek back in the day but those magazines are few and expensive.

[wickedsensation]

Huge fan right here.

I tried to wokr myself up to 3 dozen, but I ended up puking after 2.

He also liked to mix his protein with heavy whip cream.

All in all, that guy knew a lot of bro-science, but it seemed to work for Larry Scott, Don Howorth, and Mohamad Makkawy.

Vince also didn't let anyone do squats or bench press in his gym, and if he saw you doing it, he would throw you out and give you back the money you paid for membership. But Don Howorth still did bench presses, hahaha.

He's a pretty amazing guy and he has a lot of information on his site:

That's where I got my workout shirt. The owner of the company is really cool and called me personally to thank me for my purcahse.

Wait why not? Strong wtf.

[wickedsensation]

Wait why not? Strong wtf.

Vince thought bench pressing was a lame exercise movement, so he only advocated neck presses, Gironda dips, and Ring flys.

He didn't like squats because he felt that they mostly worked the glutes, so he advocated sissy squats, leg extensions, hack-squats, leg press, and so on.

I guess striated glutes weren't in fashion back during his time, haha.

Lmao...dude was definitely on that broscience time cuzzzz

[Darkhare]

i give props to anyone who can manage to eat 36 eggs a day, i eat them every day but i loathe the way eggs taste, their texture, everything, ive tried preparing them scrambled, overeasy, boiled, mixed with oatmeal, with ketchup, with peppers mixed in and i cant stand them

Same here. Three whole eggs plus two egg whites everyday. I haaaate eggs. Makes me gag just the thought. I add hot sauce. Salsa. Anyhing. I can't eat them without toast I'd puke garunteed

[wickedsensation]

Lmao...dude was definitely on that broscience time cuzzzz

Hahaha, yeah.

But then again:



DEM BICEPS



DEM DELTS



DEM QUADS

So. . . I guess he knew his stuff?

I don't know. He's pretty crazy, but he knew a lot about training.

All of those guys were on the Vince Gironda egg/steak/liver-tab/amino acid diet and they build pretty sick physiques.

[User6763672]

^ haha.. yeah, he definitely knew his stuff... I guess his methods worked for him

Mirin'

You know they also took the Gironda juice right?

[notsureifsrsss]

this actually makes sense

cholesterole is the precursor of testosterone, so it basically works as a sort of "pro hormone" that will eventually convert to test.

interesting thread is interesting

[wickedsensation]

Yup!

I admire Larry Scott for keeping it real and talking about the time he first discovered Gironda's "Cell-Tech."

I guess it was after Scott had won the Mr. America, but some guy went over to Vince's gym and sold all of those guys their first batch of Cell-Tech. 2 tabs a day back then, but they were the first generation Cell-Tech users.

hahah dude that's not really how it goes

i mean yes cholesterol is the precursor to all steroid hormones but there's only so much testosterone your body will produce... i guess if you're deficient it might increase your test levels though.

[notsureifsrsss]

actually higher cholesterole intake does increase t-levels...

the coeffesient isn't that big, so other factors like MUFA and saturated fats play a larger role, but still...

[TBEagl]

Does it matter the way the eggs are cooked

Side note: Gironda's knees were ****ed up (later in his life). He would do hacks and front squats on his toes.

He also didn't do much overhead pressing.

[wickedsensation]

Funny story, but when Arnold first came to California to train, he went to Vince's to get in shape.

He introduced himself like this: "Hello, my name is Arnold Schwarzenegger and I'm Mr. Universe."

Vince said: "You look like a fat piece of shi---!"

A few weeks later, Frank Zane beat Arnold in a competition, hahahaha.

well yes, but not that linearly... if you eat a million eggs you won't be juiced up

OP is retarded for saying "fertile eggs"

every egg you buy from the store is a fertile egg. they are fertile eggs that have not been fertilized. your sperm is fertile, your girlfriends eggs are fertile, but your girlfriends eggs are not fertilized until one of your sperms gets to one of the eggs.

the eggs you buy from the store are fertile eggs that come from fertile chickens.

if the OP actually wanted to eat fertilized eggs he would have to get them from a farm and they cant be refrigerated. once they are put in the fridge its pretty much the same crap.

anyway back to eggs they are very healthy. i try to eat 5 whole ones a day. they contain lots of healthy stufff

[CountofManlets]

I have to force 6 six hard boiled eggs down my throat everday. Its the worst 10 minutes of my day.

[bigmane123]

so do eggs raise it? anyone tried a cycle of 36 eggs a day for a couple months?

[MyRiddum]

the easiest way to eat eggs is egg salad sandwiches and deviled eggs...
I can hammer them back. But who doesnt love scrambled eggs in the morning

lold irl hahaha repped

doesn't it get expensive eating so many eggs?

[magog704]

gironda didn't like squats and bench because he felt hack squats, sissy squats, and bench and dips were better for balanced hypertrophy.

he had a certain look that he was going for, not strength related goals. he also advocated zero direct ab work.


also, that pic in the OP... he looked just like that until he was into his 50's.

[droogle]

no kidding they have rooster jizz in them

lmao

[Jyzz]

who is this I have not seen before is this the annunaki from nibiru??
