The photo below of Larry Scott and Freddy Ortiz was taken circa 1962 in front of Vince’s Gym in Studio City, California.
Both followed the training principles of that gym’s owner, Vince Gironda, the legendary Hollywood trainer who helped us formulate our 4X density mass method—moderate poundages with short rests between sets.
Here’s a quote about Freddy’s training from GreatestPhysiques.com that shows Gironda’s influence…
Freddy always placed an emphasis on the mind-muscle-connection; he made sure to concentrate on his lifts and perform exercises slower in order to achieve full activation of his muscles. This meant that he performed more reps and lifted less weights than other bodybuilders in his era.
Studies show that best muscle-building results occur with a slower rep cadence—lift in one to two seconds and lower in three.
And you don’t have to use joint-crushing poundages, which means you will be able to train hard through old age while still building muscle. If you don’t think that’s possible, check out this photo of Freddy Ortiz at age 78…
And here’s Larry Scott at age 73…
