8-WEEK COUNTDOWN Part 1-

For over forty-five years, the GAME OF BODYBUILDING  has been a welcome challenge for my mindset.

My COUNTDOWN PROGRAM before a competition has morphed over the years. 

Before coming to California in 1975 and preparing for the IFBB Mr. World with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Denny Gable, I had never heard of CONTEST PREPARATION  nor had I been introduced to STEROIDS

I had always stayed in SHAPE by EATING WELL AND TRAINING HARD; there was no such thing as "off-season" in my dialogue. 


Early on I realized this was my EDGE over my competitors. 


The LESS STRESS placed on the body GETTING it into shape, the SHARPER, more REFIND that PHYSIQUE will be when displayed ON STAGE. 




THAT'S THE WINNING EDGE! 

I saw others letting themselves go AFTER SHOWSSome dropped TRAINING entirely to recover from the HEAVY WEIGHTS that they were able to use while on ANABOLICS  but their NATURAL BODY wouldn't have been able to handle.  Others ate completely off the BODYBUILDING MENUE

My "NO-OFF-SEASON" APPROACH worked so well I didn’t need a preparation SCHEME other than a SODIUM, DISTILLED WATER and POTASSIUM manipulation the week off a show. 


Only twice did I follow a calculated plan: once with CHRIS CORMIER in 1990 and nine years later with TREVOR SMITH.

PEACE, ROBBY
