Today we feature footage of the late “Iron Guru” Vince Gironda doing a physique posing exhibition, from the “ironguru” Youtube channel. The footage has been paired with Vangelis’ “Chariots of Fire” theme, which was one of the preferred compositions of Gironda’s student Mohamed Makkawy.
In case you ever had the harebrained notion of playing two online videos at once, here is your chance for some ‘casual Friday’ afternoon amusement!
The top video contains some rare preserved footage of the late three-time Mr. Universe winner Reg Park of England doing a posing routine in 1957, from the “indaskys” Youtube channel. Although the picture quality is not the best, Park’s thick musculature and physical power are evident. This footage is a prime example of mid-twentieth century physical culture.
