Vince Anello is a 5 Time IPF World Powerlifting Champion, York Barbell Hall of Fame inductee, Bodybuilder, and Owner of Anello Body Fitness

One of the all-time powerlifting greats—especially in deadlift—one name that always comes to mind is Vince Anello. A five-time IPF world champion, York Barbell Hall of Fame inductee, an accomplished bodybuilder, owner of his own fitness company, and the first person in history to deadlift 800 pounds while weighing less than 200 pounds.

Anello trained at various gyms throughout his long and successful career. And while many successful powerlifters become associated with prominent gyms, big teams, and large sponsors, Anello spent a good portion of his competitive career training in a friend’s basement.
Known as “The Wild Bunch" from Black's Health World in Cleveland (basically a “Westside Barbell" of the early 80's), Anello did some of his training alongside other greats such as John Black, Danny Wohleber, John Florio, and the first person to ever squat 1000 pounds—Dave Waddington.

Anello also co-wrote a book with Dave Yarnell titled Vince Anello, My Life On And Off The Platform. It summarizes his powerlifting and bodybuilding careers, his methods of training both the mind and body and the thoughts and comments of his friends, fans and training partners, as well as his life outside of strength sports.
Through it all, Anello continues to uphold his values of health, strength, and mental toughness. And those are traits he continues to pass onto his clients every day.
