DURING MY FIRST 16 YEARS OF TRAINING, THERE WAS NO STEROID USE. HARD WORK AND GREAT HOME-COOKED MEALS STRAIGHT OUT OF MY MOM’S KITCHEN WERE MY TOOLS. THEY ALLOWED ME TO BUILD A FOUNDATION OF 205 LBS OF NATURAL MUSCLE. MY FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH STEROIDS WAS AT AGE 29 - 2 WEEKS BEFORE THE 1975 MR. WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP - IN WHICH I WON ALONG WITH ALL THE BODY PART AWARDS. ANABOLIC STEROID PRIMOBOLAN DEPOT WAS THE DRUG OF CHOICE IN THOSE DAYS.
THE FIRST THING YOUNG TRAINEES HAVE TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT I HAD ALREADY DEVELOPED A FOUNDATION OF SOLID MUSCLE ON TOP OF GREAT GENETICS AND NEVER PUT ON MORE THAN 20 LBS.
THROUGHOUT MY CAREER, TO BUILD ONTO MY FOUNDATION, I CONTINUED USING THE PRACTICE OF DEVELOPING MUSCLE WITH ONLY HARD WORK, NUTRITION AND SUPPLEMENTATION AND LIMITING STEROIDS USE TO 8 WEEKS OUT FROM A COMPETITION. THAT IS WHY MY PHYSIQUE STILL LOOKS MODERN TODAY AND I WEIGH MY ORIGINAL FIGHTING WEIGHT - 205 LBS.
STEROIDS ARE ONLY TO SHOWCASE A PHYSIQUE,
THEY DON'T BUILD MUSCLE.
IN A PERFECT BODYBUILDING WORLD, THEY SHOULDN'T EVEN EXIST. BECAUSE OF THEM, TRAINERS AND TRAINEES DON'T HAVE A CLUE HOW TO NATURALLY MANIPULATE THEIR BODY SYSTEMS INTO AN ANABOLIC STATE USING TRAINING, NUTRITION AND A ROTATION OF DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS.
THAT'S BODYBUILDING!
PEACE, ROBBY
