On this episode of the Escape Your Limits podcast, we interview Elite Master Trainer, Danny Torgl, who has been transforming bodies for more than 40 years, earning him recognition as the ‘Master of Body Sculpting’.
After a childhood growing up on a farm in Spain, where Danny was inspired by the muscular arms of his leather shoe maker uncle, he moved to The States and started bodybuilding. It was here that he was introduced to Vince Gironda, the ‘Iron Guru’.
This introduction changed Danny’s life and set him on a path that would establish him as one of America’s highest profile personal trainers.

What a fucking great story. Vince was an absolute genius and we have so much to thank him for. Such a shame he wasn’t accepted during his time and people attacked him and tried to ruin him. He did so much for us all….if only he could have lived to 200 years old. He would be loving this

As friends of his son Guy through high school and college I was fortunate enough to learn from Vince from his son. Very very strict. Several times I watched his son guy training a man but, not listening very well, executing badly, not concentrating he’d offer this client his money back and suggest he go to a public gym. Knowledge was what he gave out. Vince really wasn’t cut out for teaching men or women who were not super serious and/or competitive. Totally, unique individual. I believe he had a degree in physical therapy so like Jack LaLanne who had Chiropractic degree had human anatomy dissection in their curriculum. Hence the deeper understanding as a foundation to develop the genius. Miss Vince, boy could he tell a joke too, what voice as well.

No wonder that The Legend had his formation with him. Incredible silver era body by the great Vince Gironda. Love to see his son's personality and stories like that

Last week I did four new chest exercises from Vince and four back exercises. I just did one set of 10 reps of each with light weight. My body felt completely sore and different after and I slept for 24 hours.

Amazing you got to train with Vince! I use the same principles with the contractions so to speak. Ben Pakulski turned me onto that, he calls it intentions. Makes 100% sense. Vince was a maverick and gifted. The only reason for the numbers on the weights is to keep track, not to brag. I always laugh when someone says, "how much can you bench" as I'm built and they're not lol.

So true. It’s all about feeling your body. Range of motion. Slow it down. Hold the tension. Every single finger has to be included. It’s all about consciousness. Body mind and spirit.

I have to thank Vince for the info he shared in the mags back-in-the-day about front squats and weighted dips because I wasn't getting the desired results from back squats and flat benching. I could feel the difference immediately and the gains quickly followed.

I remember Bostin Loyd saying how he felt he was qualified to teach people how to train. Because he transformed his body with copious amount of drugs including synthol he thought he he knew about training. Now the guy is dead at only 29. If he had trained with vince he would look amazing and still be alive and healthy.

@@charlotteh8174 I'm making the point that certain Individuals have no business being training and nutrition gurus. It takes serious education to possess the knowledge necessary to instruct another person on exercise physiology and nutrition. For someone to take money from.someone thinking they possess knowledge on exercize physiology because they transformed their bodies through a deadly cocktail of drugs isn't someone that should be admired. Bodybuing is a discipline and an education that comes from years of experimentation and study. Yet so many admire the idiots that pump themselves full of drugs and have the audacity to instruct others believing they are knowledgeable when in fact they are ignorant

I for one couldn't give a single damn about Bostin L. What a stain he was for the fitness industry. Preached all the ped garbage and look where/how he ended up . The moment he said Zane looked like a pile of smashed assholes on an RX Muscle interview w. Dave P. , he was dead to me. Complete disrespect of the highest order.

Arthur Jones invented Nautilus equipment, not Polaris equipment. Vince wrote "A Muscle has Four Sides" not three sides. Minor quibbles, perhaps, but the facts are facts. It's also highly doubtful that Vince was actively participating in autopsies by peeling the flesh back.

Based on all the videos I’ve watched it seems his biggest issue was his personality and temperament towards average people. Knowledge is never enough for real success, gotta have people skills too.
