When you are young there is an outlaw desire to your vision.

Back in Florida, my training was 
  • 10 sets of t-row bar, 
  • 10 sets barbell row and 
  • 10 sets of barbell pullovers
    -- in a single workout. 
So when I arrived in LA in 1975 and was fortunate enough to train with the greats: Zane, Arnold the Oak, Denny, Franco, Waller and Corney, I was more than prepared. 

This was a brutal group. You were challenged in every workout. 

PAIN, BURN AND SWEAT

20 SETS A BODY PART WAS OUR GOAL

Doing chins with your traps kissing the bar each and every rep is what gave me a great lat spread from the front and back.

These are my 5 all-time favorite back exercises; 
  • T-rows, 
  • chins to nap of neck, 
  • long pulley row, 
  • bent arm barbell pull-overs, 
  • pulldowns alternated from front to back with a squeeze.

I remember that picture well! I probably still have it somewhere..

That has to be the best back ever seen in bodybuilding. You were way ahead of your time.

Eric Wilson said it perfectly. The back of a hero, in which we worship for.

One of the most iconic photos of all time, and it belongs to you, Mr. Robinson. :-)
