Robinson, still amazingly fit at 68-years-old, grew up in Tallahassee, Florida where he experienced many facets of adversity including both racial discrimination and in-school bullying. Naturally, he decided to take action as early as seven years old and take control of his difficult social experiences in school.

After watching a show with Jack Lalanne, Robinson thought to himself, “I want to jump with Jack.” 

Robinson never doubted himself as he continued to focus on his physique to keep from being bullied—his efforts worked! He instantly became popular in high school as a student-athlete in both football and track and field. He attended the well-known Historically Black College and University (HBCU) Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University. 

Robinson was determined to make a name for himself and he continued to succeed by maintaining an optimal level of commitment in weight training. 

When asked about the racial adversity that he endured within the body building industry, Robinson explained, “the cruelty of racial discrimination having had grown up in the south actually made me strong. It prepared me for what was to come and to learn how to not be phased by that anger and hate that had occurred.”

Robinson had no difficulties maintaining his physique while starting out in 1975 at 205 lbs and with an impeccably slim 29-inch waist. His 15 years of weight training prior to venturing into the body building industry set him up for instant success. 

Robinson has garnered many prominent awards including but not limited to: IFBB, Mr. America, Mr. World, Mr. Universe, and Mr. International. He attained an even more inspiring win receiving first place at IFBB-Master Mr. Olympia over “The Hulk” Lou Ferrigno. 

Robinson’s career allowed for many other opportunities to come his way including the personal training of body builder legend and former California State Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. He currently resides in Los Angeles, California keeping his incredible physique at 68 years old. 

● www.robbyrobinson.net/motivation.php ●
www.robbyrobinson.net/motivation.php
Robinson attributes his current physique to his optimistic perspective by waking up everyday discovering a way he can make himself happy and by continuing to enjoy the career he has brought his purpose into fruition—coaching others on how to incorporate healthy, positive, balanced and active lifestyles via in-person and through his website www.robbyrobinson.net.

Robinson has always admired Dwayne Johnson and is proud of the success he has garnered. He adamantly respects Johnson as a fitness and nutrition guru and loves the great attitude Johnson has maintained throughout his climb to fame. 

Robinson is also ecstatic to see Johnson as Hercules — especially being a multicultural actor playing such a traditionally cast role.

As we salute Robinson for being an admirable “real-life” Hercules, Robinson is eagerly looking forward to join other moviegoers this Friday, July 25, 2014 for the nationwide release of “Hercules.”

DEAD LIFT - THE KING OF BIG BACK EXERCISES

550 LBS HEAVY DEAD LIFT

Robby Robinson - Workout at Gold's Gym Venice, CA
www.robbyrobinson.net//dvd_master_class.php
I LOVE TO DO DEAD-LIFTS, T-ROWS, BARBELL ROWS TO FINISH THE BACK OFF!

I DO SO AFTER ALL THE SMALL BACK EXERCISES. 
LOVE THE CHALLENGE!
  • - WARM UP PROPERLY
  • - TRAIN EXPLOSIVELY
  • - WORK ON TECHNIQUE

DEAD-LIFT TECHNIQUE:
✔ ABS FLAT 
✔ BACK FLEXED AND TIGHT 
✔ BAR CLOSE TO THE BODY 
✔ ARMS STRAIGHT 

THIS EXRCISE WILL PUT SLABS OF MUSCLE ON YOUR BODY FROM HEAD TO TOE - MUSCLE: 
GRIPS, HAMS, GLUTES INTER-BACK. 

DEADLIFTS CAN BE PERFORMED BY ANYBODY AND ARE SAFE FOR EVERYBODY; HOWEVER, ONLY ON THE CONDITION THAT ONE HAS GOOD FORM, ONE IS FLEXIBLE ENOUGH TO PERFORM THIS GREAT "HIP EXTENSION" EXERCISE PROPERLY TO WORK THE UPPER BACK, TRAPEZIUS AND LOWER BACK.

IF ONE DOES NOT HAVE GOOD EXERCISE FORM, IT IS BECAUSE ONE'S ACTIVITIES CAUSE DISPOSITIONS THAT PRODUCE POOR POSTURAL HABITS, A FORWARD HEAD/ NECK WITH A ROUNDED BACK OR BAD HABITS IN GENERAL.

DEAD LIFT MAKES YOU BIGGER, STRONGER, FASTER: 

TAKE IT TO THE MUSCLE!

HEAVY WEIGHT FORCES IT TO GROW. 



I LOVE, I HAVE DONE THINGS IN MY LIFE...

BEING STRONG AND HEALTHY IS ONE, I AM VERY PROUD OF IN MY LIFETIME.
PEACE, ROBBY

THE PHYSICAL BENEFITS OF HAPPINESS PROVED CONCLUSIVELY THAT LAUGHTER, HAPPINESS AND JOY ARE PERFECT ANTIDOTES FOR STRESS.

THE DIAPHRAGM, THORAX, ABDOMEN, HEART, LUNGS, AND EVEN THE LIVER -- ARE GIVEN A MASSAGE DURING A HEARTY LAUGH. 

LAUGHTER
PROTECTS THE HEART...

WE KNOW THAT EXERCISING, NOT SMOKING AND EATING FOODS LOW IN SATURATED FAT WILL REDUCE THE RISK OF HEART DISEASE. 

FOR SURE, REGULAR HEARTY LAUGHTER SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE LIST.

I APPRECIATE LIFE, 
BECAUSE IT IS NOT PERFECT. 

SOMETIMES THINGS DON'T GO
AS YOU LIKE. 

SMILE, THINK OF HOW TO USE ALL YOUR SENSES TO THRIVE IN THE MOMENT OF ADVERSITY, 

ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE!

YOU GOTTA LAUGH A LITTLE!

I JUST GREW. FROM THE NEW WORK-LOADS AND THE SPLIT SYSTEM -- 2 DAYS.

JOE WEIDER WOULD COME INTO THE GYM AND DRILL US, ME IN PARTICULAR ON THE IMPORTANCE OF WORKING THOSE 7 MANDATORY POSES. 
YOU WOULD BE SORE FOR A WEEK...

MANY OF THE SERIOUS BODYBUILDERS DON'T LIKE TO DO THEM, BECAUSE THEY ARE HARD. 

HOLDING EACH POSE FOR 20 SECONDS IS NOT FOR THE WEAK OF MIND  

IT IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS A BODYBUILDER SHOULD FOCUS ON, WHEN PREPARING FOR A COMPETITION.

THE ATLAS BROTHERS - MASTERS OF HAND BALANCING AND BODYBUILDING ARTS

THE ATLAS BROTHERS
OF BODY PRACTICE IN SPOKANE

ROBBY ROBINSON WITH ATLAS BROTHERS OF BODY-PRACTICE -
STEVE AND SAM, DURING BODYBUILDING MASTER CLASS AND
SEMINAR IN SPOKANE, WASHINGTON 2013
www.robbyrobinson.net//master-class.php
I WAS CLUELESS THAT THERE WERE TWO MEN -- ALPHA-MALES, THAT WERE BODYBUILDERS, PERFORMERS, TEACHERS AND ARTISTS; THAT WERE HAND BALANCERS OF THE AWESOME KIND. 

www.robbyrobinson.net/dvd_built.php
UNTIL I WAS INVITED TO COME TO SPOKANE WASHINGTON, IN WASHINGTON, THE HOME OF THE SEATTLE SEA-HAWKS, TO WORK WITH STEVE AND SAM ON THEIR TRANSITION FORM FROM A HAND-BALANCER TO BODYBUILDER, AFTER EACH ACT OR EXERCISE IN THERE ROUTINE. 

I LOVED THEIR ENERGY AND DRIVE SEEKING PERFECTION, WHICH HAS LEAD TO STANDING OVATIONS WHEREEVER THE ATLAS BROTHERS APPEAR. 

www.robbyrobinson.net/books.php
TO SEE STEVE AND SAM DOING A LIVE PERFORMANCE LEAVES YOU SPELL-BOUND, AWE-STRUCK: 

THEIR STRENGTH AND POWER ON THE ROPES OR THEIR BARBELLS AND DUMBBELLS. 

EACH TIME I HAVE SEEN THEM PERFORM -- IT LEFT ME WANTING TO CHALLENGE AND CONQUER THOSE ROPES. 

SAM AND STEVE
ARE  PERSISTENT WARRIORS, 
BEGIN THEIR SUCCESS WHERE OTHERS END IN FAILURE. AT THEIR CRAFT.


BELOW IS THE 10-QUESTIONS INTERVIEW THAT STEVE ATLAS ANSWERED FOR MY BLOG:

1. WHAT IS THE BIGGEST THRILL WHEN IT COMES TO HAND BALANCING AS YOU ARE PERFORMING ARE PRACTICING?

www.robbyrobinson.net/motivation.php
Answer:  The biggest thrill in training is the same as in performing... being perfect in our execution.  

We desire the ability to show the very best presentation for our audience knowing full well that if we do our job right, we'll get the most applause in return.  It is an amazing feeling when the crowd goes insane from a well performed act.

2. WHAT IS THE DRIVING FORCE BEHIND YOUR PERFORMANCE AND WHAT MOTIVATES YOU OR SAM TO GET IN THE BEST SHAPE, EACH TIME YOU SHOW CASE YOUR TALENT OF HAND-BALANCING? 

www.robbyrobinson.net//dvd_master_class.php
Answer:  We are really driven to be at the very top of 'our' game.  

Since we started late in this craft of DUO (it's also called the art of hand-to-hand) 

WE HAVE TO TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF OUR PHYSIQUES BE FULLY BALANCED WITH AESTHETIC APPEAL

www.robbyrobinson.net//anabolic-pack.php
LEAN, MUSCULAR, 
AND TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO USE IT EFFECTIVELY IS THE GOAL WE CONSTANTLY STRIVE FOR

In terms of long term goals... We'd like to perform at the Arnold Classic in Columbus, OH.  

In addition we'd like to get on a regular contract circuit of performing our act in front of crowds all over the place.

3. HAVE EITHER OF YOU HAD ANY MAJOR INJURIES, THAT HAVE PREVENTED YOU OR SAM, TO NOT BE ABLE TO PERFORM AT ANY TIME OVER THE YEARS? 
HOW OLD WERE YOU BOTH WHEN YOU GOT STARTED IN HAND-BALANCING? 
HOW OLD ARE YOU BOTH NOW AND HOW MANY YEARS AS TEAMMATES?
  
www.robbyrobinson.net/dvd_built.php
Answer:  The only injury between us was a badly impinged left shoulder of the Base (Steve Atlas- myself). 

It was enough to drop off the most difficult elements for a while, but since it's healing and back to almost full strength the big elements are once again in our line of focus. 

Our preventative exercises have really saved our skins many times!  I (Steve) first got into DUO (Hand-to-Hand) in September of 2011.  

My Flyer (Sam) got into DUO (Hand-to-Hand) in June of 2012. 

I was turning 38, and Sam was 19 at the time. I'm now 40 and Sam is 21 years of age.  

I started training Sam almost 5 years ago, and then Sam's physical prowess and work ethic he became the designated training partner and the flyer of the Atlas Brothers effectively of June 2012.

4. WHEN WAS THE FIRST TIME YOU BOTH WITNESSED  A HAND BALANCING ACT AND DID THAT MOTIVATE YOU TO BECOME HOUSE WHOLE NAMES IN THIS VISUAL ART TODAY? 

ALEXIS BROTHERS - PAULO AND MARCO
LORADOR OF CIRQUE DU SOLEIL -- MYSTÉRE
www.robbyrobinson.net/motivation.php
Answer:  The first act that I saw was in 1999. 

It was the Alexis Brothers: Paulo, and Marco Lorador in the Cirque Du Soleil production: Mystère.  
That was such an amazing show...

Although Sam watched a live act about two years ago in DUO it was nothing by comparison was when we paid a visit to our mentors in June of 2013 -- they still are amazing to watch!  

We want to do what we can to be 'like them'.  This should NOT be misunderstood as copying them or cloning them. 

www.robbyrobinson.net//anabolic-pack.php
We (the Atlas Brothers) have our own act that is continuously growing better and stronger by the week.  

WE TRAIN HARD 
TO BE AS PERFECT AS POSSIBLE...

WE BOTH FEEL  THAT WITH THE RIGHT PEOPLE AROUND US, 
THE REST WILL TAKE CARE OF ITSELF.

5. HOW MANY HOURS DO YOU BOTH SPEND WORKING OUT AND PRACTICING YOUR ARTS TOGETHER, AND DO YOU BOTH STILL ENJOY PERFORMING TO SOLD OUT AUDIENCES? DO YOU FEEL YOUR FAN BASE APPEAL HAS GROWN?

www.robbyrobinson.net/books.php
Answer:  We train together five days a week, it used to be six- it's been cut to five to keep us from overtraining and burning out.  

60-90 minutes are the typical training time with each other, but on top of that both Sam and myself train an additional 1-3 more hours each day on our own respective regimens.  

Of course, we always want to perform to a sold out audience.  

All the shows we're hired to perform at are completely sold out and we love that.  

With Facebook and the internet, our fan base continues to grow by the week: the Atlas Brothers have their own official Facebook page:


6. RUMOR HAS IT, AT YOUR LAST PERFORMANCE, MANY IN THE AUDIENCE THOUGHT THAT PROMOTERS HAD GONE OUT TO VEGAS AND HIRED YOU AND SAM TO COME AND PERFORM YOUR ACT… CIRQUE-DU-SOLEIL-STYLE. HEARING SUCH A LABEL, HOW DID THAT EFFECT YOU BOTH? 

www.robbyrobinson.net/dvd_built.php
Answer:  It's very humbling and flattering to hear such sentiments.  It's true.  

After the show, people truly thought we were performers from the circus world.  Certainly, whenever you hear such complements you want to aspire to live up to them.  

We improve at every single performance we're in and it is because we want to do this on a more full time basis.  

So getting stronger, becoming more live moving art on stage...

IT'S ALL A WORK IN PROGRESS THAT WE TRULY PRACTICE WITH PASSION

7. DO YOUR FAMILIES SUPPORT YOUR WORK, AND WHO IS YOUR BIGGEST SUPPORTERS? TELL OUR FANS ABOUT YOUR FAMILY'S REACTION TO YOUR HAND BALANCING ACT AND BODYBUILDING FAME. DO THEY ENJOY YOUR SUCCESSES?

STEVE AND SAM ATLAS OF BODY-PRACTICE
www.robbyrobinson.net/motivation.php
Answer:  Our families are passionate supporters on both sides.  

Sam's father Jim is extremely supportive of the Atlas Brothers, and super proud of his son and would make every performance he could.  

My own parents and wife -- Anne, are also staunch advocates of our goal in making this big for us.  

You know our act, It's not exactly a normal everyday thing people see when they witness our practice... 

You stop what you're doing to watch and to be amazed.  Our families and close friends understand this and remain great advocates of support in all of our efforts.

8. WHO HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST INFLUENCE ON YOUR TEAM AND WHAT ROLE HAS  HE/ THEY PLAYED IN YOU BOTH DEVELOPING YOUR ACT?  HOW DID IT FEEL TO RECEIVE SUCH A HUGE STANDING OVATION AFTER THE LAST PERFORMANCE?  IT MADE ME FEEL PROUD.

STEVE AND SAM ATLAS DURING RR MASTER CLASS
www.robbyrobinson.net//dvd_master_class.php
Answer: To be fair, there's a few people involved (coaches that MUST be mentioned).  I would never have learned DUO if I didn't see the Alexis Brothers Perform back in 99'. That said, it was performer and coach: Chris Jones, out of Las Vegas started us on our journey.  

Later, it was the Master -- Paulo Lorador who became and is the driving influential force of our hand to hand work.  

ROBBY ROBINSON AND STEVE ATLAS
www.robbyrobinson.net/consultation.php
We recently brought the Black Prince on board of the Atlas Brothers team: 
ROBBY ROBINSON

This has been an incredible move bringing Robby on as the physique influence.  His championship status has nothing to prove because this guy has done it all!!!  

Now, we have bodies that are showcase worthy, and with the increasing skill sets- we're all very excited!

Standing ovations are the ultimate in appreciation of your efforts.  There's nothing like them, and they're ADDICTING!!!  

We always seek the standing 'O' at the end of our performance. Our physique coach Robby Robinson knows this feeling all too well.

9. GIVE US AN OVERVIEW OF  THE BODY-PRACTICE TEACHING PHILOSOPHY FOR BOTH BODYBUILDING AND HAND BALANCING ART FORMS. DO YOU TEACH BOTH OR EITHER TO YOUR CLIENTS? DO THEY ENJOY THE SESSIONS?

Answer:  The Body Practice is a fusion of fitness and wellness that is compiled of several movement mediums that have been married together.  


The philosophy is one of quality of movement and intention, over raw and sheer output.  It's effects of mobility, flexibility, balance, and coordinated movement within a single session is irrefutably the best structured (body weight only) fusion system today.  

www.robbyrobinson.net//dvd_master_class.php
i AM QUITE PLEASED WITH MY CREATION OF THE BODY PRACTICE

I teach classes, seminars, tours- I will be teaching a tour in Europe in 2014. 

I also certify people to become coaches, that they too can lead others into a greater sense of wellness to benefit from.  

My students love these classes and will be looking forward to the Winter Immersion in December 2013!

10. WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO TO KEEP SUPERSEDING PERFORMANCE AFTER PERFORMANCE? 
DO YOU BOTH STILL GET A THRILL OUT OF BEING IN FRONT OF THOUSANDS OF FANS OF BOTH ARTS? 
WHAT DO YOU BOTH LOVE ABOUT HAND BALANCING AND BODYBUILDING?. 
DO YOU FOLLOW A CERTAIN TRAINING AND EATING REGIMES TO MAINTAIN YOUR MUSCULAR PHYSIQUES?


www.robbyrobinson.net//anabolic-pack.php
Answer:  Both Sam and I are extremely motivated to get better and stronger each week.  

We feed off the roar of the crowd, THAT gives us strength.  That's what motivates us to look our best.  

So the union of DUO and physique presentation is extraordinarily powerful.  

Both of us eat clean and regimented all the time, with the exceptions of (right after a performance) we eat some treat-food!  After that's over though, we're right back on track -- in the gym and eating clean again.  

You can't be taken seriously, unless you first take yourself seriously.  Food, training, support systems and lifestyle... they all dramatically shape the direction we're headed.  For us, the choice is a simple one -- excellence. 

Much gratitude, love and respect to Robby Robinson for the interview- it's a true honor that the Atlas Brothers are privy to his friendship.
