Vince Taylor

Vince Taylor - American bodybuilder, born on August 25, 1956 in the USA, in the town of Havre de Grace, Maryland, in the family of an ordinary farmer. Vince spent his entire childhood in his hometown, helping his parents with housework. Accustomed to hard physical labor since childhood, he was strong and strong beyond his years. Having successfully completed school, the boy continued his studies at a local business college, and after receiving his diploma, he decided to go for a month to visit his brother, who lives in Germany, and at the same time have a little rest before his further employment...

Vince could not even imagine how much this trip would change everything in his calm and measured life. Firstly, after graduating from college, the young graduate could not decide on his upcoming choice of future profession, but while in Germany, Vince was offered a good, well-paid job, exactly what he dreamed of. Thus, he established himself for a long time and remained living in Germany, working as a civilian specialist in the German army. Well, and secondly, it was this fateful move that after some time brought Vince to the weightlifting and bodybuilding room…

Vince had a dream to join the “iron sport” and become a bodybuilder after personal acquaintance with a fellow countryman - John Brown, who was in Germany for the regional competition in Berlin, where the former American champion had to perform an exemplary opening pose. John Brown, from the height of his experience with a trained eye, was immediately able to discern in Vince great genetic, natural potential and undertook to show him the basics of bodybuilding. As you may have guessed, over time these “basics” grew into direct coaching work and, ultimately, the world community learned about the emergence of a new star in the bodybuilding firmament. This is how Vince Taylor became one of the best bodybuilders in the world.

Vince’s life was not without its oddities: at his very first competition in his life (the 1983 German tournament “Mr. Berlin”), the future No. 1 managed... By a fateful coincidence, two cars that collided in an accident blocked the road and did not allow the future Champion to get there on time for the tournament. Someone would consider this some kind of omen or sign from above and refuse further training and participation in competitions... But, not our hero - after 5 years of being in the gym all the time, Vince wins at the tournament:"NPC National" in 1988, and exactly a year later, conquers first place at the grandest competition - "Night of Champions". After such a resounding victory, Vince Taylor gains thousands of fans, becomes a real star, a public favorite. Now his new goal is gold in the annual Mr. Olympia tournament. He successfully competed and confidently won, providing incredibly tough competition to such bodybuilding legends as Shawn Ray, Dorian Yates, Flex Wheeler, Lee Haney, becoming even more in demand and popular.

It would seem that my professional career is long behind me... But in 2006, suddenly a miracle happened to everyone! He is back into competitive bodybuilding, and how brightly and successfully! Vince Taylor not only qualified for Mr. Olympia, but was also able to take a worthy 11th place, leaving behind such seasoned pros as Johnny Jackson, Branch Warren and Durrem Charles, and this is all, attention, aged fifty years!!!

Unbelievable but true! On behalf of our entire team, I would like to wish this inimitable person: good health, muscle strength and new victories! To look so great at one’s age, and even to give youngsters a head start at international competitions of this class, is, without a doubt, only possible chosen ones and hereby To the champions!
