Former professional bodybuilder currently residing in South Florida, undoubtedly one of the best to ever grace the sport.
Vince’s career in bodybuilding spanned almost 3 decades, first taking to the stage in 1984 whilst living in the city of Berlin, where he continued to perfect his craft and training routines for another 13 years. Through his dedication to the sport, Vince Taylor, the “Quiet Storm,” would go on to become one of the most iconic athletes to ever compete in the bodybuilding area, breaking records throughout his career in both international and domestic championship titles that became cemented in the history books of the IFBB.
Vince Taylor has claimed his legacy with a record level of 22 world titles from a total of 66 competitions between the years 1989 to 2002.
Accolades include:
IFBB Mr. Berlin, Germany 1984
AAU Mr. America 1987
NPC Overall National Champion 1988 (Received Pro Card)
Night of The Champions (Professional Debut Win) 1989
After returning from his 4-year hiatus in 2006, Vince Taylor would go on to compete in his final Mr. Olympia Competition where he later retired at the age of 50.
During his time in retirement, Vince has gone on to create a number of unique and original approaches to fitness training, the most prized of which being his original invention named the “Vince Taylor Grips.” The grips invention features a new designed ergonomic hand training grip which revolutionize traditional cable and resistance training. This invention is what Vince intends to be his contribution to the health and fitness industry, using his accumulation of sports knowledge from what can only be achieved from over 3 decades of professional training.
