HAVE THE NATURAL GENETICS, YOU CAN DO ALL THE EXERCISES IN THE WORLD AND STILL
NOT HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO WIN. SOMETIMES THAT’S WHY SOME TURN TO STEROIDS, TO
TRY AND MAKE UP FOR WHAT GENETICS DID NOT SUPPLY.

BY: Early
in your book your wrote about your father’s incredible genetics. In the 1940’s,
in the South, your steroid-free father was in his prime at 6’2’’ and 225
pounds, ripped. Even by today’s standards those numbers are very impressive,
especially from the natural bodybuilder’s perspective. You were confident that
you had what it took to be one of the best bodybuilders ever, citing
discipline, determination, ad of course great genetics as key factors.
How
important do you feel genetics are, within the sport of bodybuilding?
RR:
Genetics should play a very important role in the sport of bodybuilding. That’s
what the judges should be looking at when competitors are on stage. If you don’t
have the natural genetics, you can do all the exercise in the world and still not
have what it takes to win. Sometimes that’s why some turn to steroids, to try
and make up for what genetics did not supply.

BY: You
wrote about the 1975 AAU Mr America contest, an important show for you at the
time. You brought an incredible package (which seemed to be the trend with you)
to that show. It would be the first time the California
You make a poignant point as you
describe how, “it is amazing to see a competirot’s muscles eflate before a show
just by seeing another competitor in better shape.”
RR: The use
of reverse psychology proved itself to be very beneficial to me, especially
backstage during a show. One instance in particular, I was at that show in
Culver City, the 1975 AAU Mr America
My plan had worked, egos were
flattened, and I was ready to win, but win I did not. The AAU committee gave
Dale Adrian the honor. I came in fifth place overall and won the coveted AAU “Most
Muscular Man in the World” title. I was very proud to win the title over the
other great body builders. I was a complete unknown and was the talk of the
city.

BY: I too
have witnessed this phenomenon backstage and on stage at shows, when “that guy”
appears. On the other side of the coin, I have also seen confident competitors
with lesser physiques beat competitors with better physiques, but who seemed to
lack a confident flare in their presentation.
Robby,
could confidence be equally, if not more important?
RR: I was
thinking in terms of the fact that I knew I already had a great physique, I
already knew I had a great body. It was already in my mindset that had been
instilled in me since I was young.
IT WASN'T AN ATTITUDE,
IT WAS AN ASSURANCE WITHIN MYSELF.
I had already read about the other competitors, I already knew
what their capabilities were. I had studied them and knew what they were not
doing, and what I was doing.
IT CAME DOWN TO THAT ONE LAST REP, THE DIET,
THE DISCIPLINE, AND MY FOCUSED MINDSET.
