Never knew that about the American’s Vince, always thought they were suppose to be gentlemen. They fool me again. Yours Sincerely.

Vince, I recently moved from the Bay area of California to Colorado. The truth of your experiences is unfortunate. People, in general but certainly not all, are more self centered and not at all polite. I lived in a beautiful neighborhood and tried as I might never got to know my next door neighbors. They seemed afraid to trust anyone. I am so much happier in Colorado. The people are more positive and friendly, even the energy of just being outside feels better, even when its 20 below zero. I miss my Cali friends dearly and I cherish them so because they went against the norm and are quality people. But yes, Cali, Hollywood especially is. . . . interesting.

Not America, California. So often I talked for travelers from other countries and ask them what they think of America. They reply that they went to California and had yet to actually see America. It is true, Cali is a whole other world@Richard -

@Tobias –
there are assholes everywhere you go.most of the one’s here are from other places.

It seems u enjoy ur stay there, but the highlight was the ppl u met! if that is the way than it might suck to do shopping at Hollywood! lolz

Haaa youre a crack up! Faunny as!! So serious freak outs around. But i have one question, whats the reason for high reps in the muscle building ? Is it a fat burn cutting method or a building method. Please let me now someone.
Thanks

Vince Rulz!

Hi sir you look awesome in hollywood thanks for this great video and this is really nice video.God Bless U.

Vince,

I did a stop over at LA on my way to New York last year and got a dose of what you are referring to. First dose was at the airport dealing with the stupidity of employees there at the control (leave alone the various ’security’ checks i had to go through). as for the city itself, you can find a mix of characters, from really wierd to really good people. both LA and NY are very different to the image they display in films and on tv.good luck with the job

Thanks Vince for valuable information

Whatever you are doing there Vince, keep it real and stay down to earth like you are. We’d hate to see you “Hollywoodised” – being one of us is what makes your advice so easy to follow. Thanks for the insight.

haha thats nothing, come to malaysia for a few days, u will be pulling your hair out…ppl here are literally retarded and the most rude and obnoxious ppl i have ever met, i have been here for 15 years, may as well be classed as insane for lasting this long

Vince, I hope you were in Hollywood to talk to some execs to do a show called the Biggest Gainer!! I know that it has been your desire for a while to do this. I will be praying for you as you continue your journey. Thanks for all the good fitness info. God Bless.

Never been to California. I live in the rural midwest and its normal to hold a door for a woman, or another guy for that matter. Its just common courtesy. California is in a word of its own from what I can tell.

I havent been there but i have been to the East coast and truthfully felt like most of those folks werer awfully rude. Its just a totally differnt world.

Vince,

This is too funny…my hubby and I just moved back to Toronto 3 months ago after 10 years in LA, so we TOTALLY get it. Did you also notice that nobody seems to have a job? Coffee shops are PACKED all day long with M.A.W’s (model, actor, whatevers). And don’t be fooled by everyone who drives a Range Rover…none of them can even afford to buy groceries. Very sad. We miss the weather and all our friends, but that’s IT! Glad to be in T.O. :-)

Hi Vince,
I lived for 5 years in California (originally from Canada). Hollywood is the epicenter of the “Tinsletown” lifestyle.
Orange county, just south of LA county, is much more normal and has decent, nice people (well, a few butt-wipes, too, but where aren’t they?)
Loved the video!

As far as the “gentleman” aspect of life – Thank you for explaining to the guys that if they behave that way or run with other guys that act that way then they are the ones that need to re-evaluate what is going on.

You get clerks like you are talking about and the BlackBerry Trio even in Helena Montana especially around the holidays. They drop clerks in to fill in the gaps without training. I feel so sorry for some of them.

And the BlackBerry Trio, well, your guess is as good as mine as to whether they were on their messenger service or just playing video games. Style and Show.

Keep up the good workouts – To thine own self be true.

@Vince –

I think it is an urban thing Vince. I moved from the south (U.S.) to New York years ago and I had problems with girls who would open the door and get out before I could get around the car to open the door for them. One of them told me that it was a women’s rights thing; political correctness if you will. In my travels I have found Toronto to be more to my liking than most other places, you just have that horrible winter. But your people are like old south gentility, concerned and caring. Meanwhile, right up the highway in Montreal; oh, lets not get into that, we’ll be here all day.
Over the year or two I have been following you, you seem to have gotten more buff. I know you were winning contests before, but in my opinion, you look better now. I look better, too, thanks to you. I am not your target hardgainer, I am an antique that has badly deconditioned. But a lot of your techniques are working for me.

I’m now reminded of the time an older gentleman held a door open for a new female colleague. She said with an attitude, “You don’t have to open the door because I’m a woman.”
He replied quite calmly, “I didn’t open it because you’re a woman. I opened it because I’m a gentleman.”

You get arseholes everywhere. Just be true ot your own values and if they can’t handle it, tough on them.

It’s becoming the norm to have negative, rude people in almost every state. You will find that each geography has it’s own flavor.

The only thing you can do is stay true to your own values, goals, morals and keep looking straight ahead.

Never let someone else take you out of YOUR groove…NEVER!

Only in America!! or should I say Hollywood? As they say there’s no place like home. Real life can somtimes be stranger or funnier than fiction. I have heard about all all the plastic surgery.. Men getting pec implants!!!! It’s a great place ot visit I’m sure and make you appreciate your backyard even more.

hahah ‘I need to call my mananger!!’ love the stories Vince! I’ve always wanted to go to Hollywood and I still do, but after watching your last few videos I’ve got a fair taste of the experience.

I think you’re there to:
1. be featured in LA muscle
2. play the part of Vinnie Chase’s personal trainer on entourage
3. play a part on Family Guy
4. have your own TV show about building muscle and being healthy inside and out

Vince,

got a non Hollywood related question. If Im not the typical skinny guy, would you recommend eating more like the 6 week muscle building video you had on here rather than the HUGE amounts of food you recommend in NNMB? Im just curious. The calculatr puts me way above 500 cals over my maintenance and it isnt that hard for me to gain weight. Sorry to change the subject. I like the look of the program, just not sure I SHOULD eat that much.

Gotta love the hotel gym workout…
That place is well equipped compared to the pool side gym we trained at in vegas , at least they have db’s LOL

Hi Vince, nice video I gave you 5 stars. I’d love one of those weight machines. My daughter visited Hollywood (from here in Australia) last year. She thought some of the people were very strange in looks, dress and character but she had a lot of laughs!

Jim beat me to it… it dawned on me yesterday but I was busy sledding and having some fun (got some snow here in NC, which doesn’t happen too often)

I agree with Jim… I think it is in regards to the Biggest Gainer Idea you were developing. Hope so, as that would be an awesome/interesting show to watch.

Interesting video about the peeps in LA. I’m sure that’s a different world for everybody. I’ve heard a few stories… Like your unique gym ideas.

Have a Merry Christmas Vinny D! Peace

I love the way you do your videos vince! You’re doin awesome! thank’s a ton for it! Merry Christmas!

Blessings bro!

Wow… that’s one of the better hotel gyms I’ve seen. I like the high-reps in this workout. Ensures maximum time under tension for a great burn.

Dave

Awesome workout,

Went to a hockey tourney and only had hotel gym to workout, did this workout and it kicked my butt. Well I was breathing hard and seriously pumped :)

Oh yea, to everyone else, rating those youtube videos is wicked easy. I think its awesome to let other people know what are some great resources out there and rating the utube videos helps out, def checkout all vinces stuff its been super valuable to me and give it a ranking.

Chris Stella

I wasnt very impressed by hollywood either, not as glamorous as it seems on tv! great workout vince, will give that a try next time im in a hotel

[...] is a summary of the Hollywood Hotel Upper Body Push Muscle Workout I did this [...]

@Aaron –

LOL. I agree with you aaron. People there seems much similar to M’sia,except that I haven’t seen girls go exaggerating about spoiled cash machine….BUT some cashier here as such a sour puss, like you know..always giving that long,unfriendly face look. hahaha

@Vince – Oh I know what it is now. Pretty cool VInce

[...] While training in at a nice hotel in Hollywood I put together a high rep muscle building workout plan for your legs and back. It’s all on video for you. [...] [...]

As always a great funny post. Awesome workout.

Hi I am in need of affordable sports machines we could utilize for our area. I believe the multi functional models are the most space-saving and practical equipment we need.

I love your video though your maybe conscious and felt uncomfortable because you always look on your sides and keep on moving like your dancing.. Lol… peace
