MUSCLE ARE SEXY - ARDEN AND ROBBY ARE ULTIMIATE EXAMPLES

STRENGTH REQUIRES THE RIGHT DOSAGES OF JARROW'S BONE-UP CALCIUM

EXERCISE BENEFITS BONES HEALTH FOR THOSE OF ALL AGES. VITAMIN D AND K 2 PROMOTE CALCIUM AND BONE METABOLISM. MAGNESIUM IS AN ESSENTIAL MINERAL THAT SUPPORTS BONE HEALTH. SILICON IS IMPORTANT FOR BONE DEVELOPMENT AND MAINTENANCE. A LACK OF EXERCISE INCREASES BONE LOSS. FISH AND NUTS ARE FOOD SOURCE OF CALCIUM. KEEP YOUR DIET RICH IN OMEGA -3 FATTY ACIDS AFTER MEALS TO ENHANCE JOINT MOBILITY. MK-7 IS A SUPERIOR, HIGHLY ABSORBABLE VITAMIN K2 THAT SUPPORT STRONG BONES. A COMBINATION OF VIT-D AND CALCIUM COMBINED WITH A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. FOLLOWING MY PLAN WILL REDUCE BONE LOSS AND FRACTURE RISK. DURING MY 27 YEAR COMPETITIVE CAREER, I HAVE NEVER SUFFERED ANY TYPE OF JOINT INJURY OR TISSUE TRAUMA. BONE UP HAS BEEN MY SECERT WEAPON. MUSCLE MOVE BONE THE STRONGER YOUR BONES THE STRONGER YOU MUSCLE BECOME. FOR OVER 20 YEARS THIS PLAN HAS HELP ME BECOME EVEN STRONGER AS I’VE AGED. HAPPINESS IS THE OVERCOMING OF NOT UNKNOWN OBSTACLES TOWARD A KNOWN GOAL.

1 AFTER BREAKFAST

1 AFTER LUNCH

4 CAPS AFTER DINNER

TAKE YOUR CALCIUM, THEN WATCH YOUR STRENGTH INCREASE.

''DRIVEN BY CONDITIONS OF CONQUEST''

2012-01-03T20:28:00.000-08:00

I LOVE TO SQUAT 225 FOR 20, 325 FOR 15, 425 FOR 10, AND 505 FOR A DOUBLE. YOU WILL SUCCEED PUTTING THAT KIND OF IRON ON YOUR SHOULDERS AND STRESS ON YOUR JOINTS TRUSTING YOUR KNEES, BACK AND MINDSET WILL WITH STAND THE STRESS. DO NOT FEAR FAILURE. FEAR DOESN'T EXIST IN OBJECTS OR SITUATIONS THAT CONFRONT YOU. IT IS AN OBSTACLE TO ACTION CREATED BY YOUR MIND, CREATED SOLELY BY FALSE IDEAS OF WEAKNESS THAT HAVE BEEN TAUGHT TO YOU BY OTHERS. WHATEVER YOU ARE AFRAID OF, YOU HAVE FRIGHTENED YOURSELF. ONCE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU CREATE YOUR OWN FEAR, THEN YOU CAN LEARN TO ELIMINATE IT. I M SEEKING , I AM STRIVING, I AM IN IT WITH ALL MY HEART .THATS WHEN THE DIFFICULT BECOMES EASY.

WHEN I LOOK AT MY OWN PHYSIQUE I'M GLAD I STUCK WITH WEIGHT TRAINING. BECAUSE AS THE YEARS HAVE GONE BY. I REALIZED THE POWER AND IMPORTANT ROLL NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS AND EATING HEALTHY MEALS HAVE PLAYED IN ENABLING THE OLD GYM RAT THE POWER ,MUSCULARITY AND STRENGTH OF SOMEONE 40 YEARS YOUNGER. LOOKING BACK ON ALL THOSE YEARS AND HRS I SPENT IN MY CLOSET ON 727 WALES STREET FLEXING AND LIFTING IRON IN FRONT OF THOSE 2 MIRRORS . I STILL SEE THAT RR IN MY MIND- YOUTHFUL AND EAGER TO GET BETTER. THOSE IMAGES STILL EMPOWER ME TO THIS DAY AT 65.

PEACE ROBBY

PEACE , ROBBY

Robby,

Thank you so much for taking the time to call. I think half the battle to go the extra 10% and make it all happen is the proper mind set and motivation. Talking to you sure does go a long way in that regard.

Keep it up and have make their jaws drop in Miami!

MONITORING OVER TRAINING

2011-11-09T17:37:00.000-08:00

DIALING YOUR PHYSIQUE IN IS A PROCESS SURROUNDING DIFFERENT ASPECTS OF TRAINING, EATING, REST AND MINDSET. AVOIDING OVER TRAINING IS ONE OF THEM.

A GREAT BREAKFAST SHOULD START YOUR DAY, EMPOWERING YOUR PHYSIQUE TO BUILD MUSCLE AND BURN FAT. WITHOUT IT YOU MISS YOUR CHANCE TO BUILD MUSCLE .

LUNCH IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MEALS. A VEG -SALAD WITH DARK AND WHITE TURKEY MEAT KEEPS THE PHYSIQUE IN ITS NATURAL ANABOLIC MODE.

DINNER IS A TIME TO RELAX, LAMB CHOPS AND STEAM BROCCOLI. 1 MEDIUM YUKON GOLD POTATO MASHED AND GARLIC OIL SALAD; LETTUCE, TOMATO, AVOCADO.

THE RR-NATURAL ANABOLIC 7 PACK IS THE SOURSE OF MY MINDSET, MUSCULARITY, ENERGY AND POWER. WHEN YOUR MIND AND MUSCLES ARE SUPPLIED WITH THE RIGHT DOSAGES OF THESE POWERFUL MICRO- NUTRIENTS 45 MINUTES AFTER EACH MEAL, THE MIND/ BODY CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING IT DESIRE IN THE WEIGHT ROOM. GIVE YOUR BODY THE RIGHT POWERIZERS SO YOU CAN BUILD MUSCLE. THEY MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD WHEN IT COMES TO SEEING RESULTS OR WINNING THE CHAMPIONSHIP. WHAT YOU TAKE AND HOW YOU TAKE SUPPLEMENTS IS VERY IMPORTANT IF YOU DESIRE TO SUCCEED. RR

FOLLOWING THE INSTINCTIVE TRAINING PRINCIPLE MAY NOT BE ENOUGH TO JUDGE IF YOU ARE OVER TRAINING. YOU MAY NOT HAVE LEARNED HOW TO INTERPRET BODY SIGNALS LIKE PAIN, OVER-STRESS, SORENESS, AND FATIGUE, OR OTHER SYMPTOMS OF OVER TRAINING. HARD COLD FACT, MANY EXPERIENCED BODYBUILDERS NEVER LEARN HOW TO READ THEIR BODIES SIGNALS-AND DISTINGUISH THE PAIN THAT ACCOMPANIES DESTRUCTIVE STRESS FROM THAT CAUSED BY SIMPLE TRAINING. WISDOM AND PATIENCE ARE THE TEACHERS IN A CASE LIKE THIS, AND INSTINCT ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH.

ATHLETES HAVE USED A NUMBER OF TECHNIQUES TO MONITOR LEVELS OF OVER TRAINING. THESE SAME TECHNIQUES SHOULD BE USED BY BODYBUILDERS, SINCE OVER TRAINING SYMPTOMS HAVE NO SPORT BOUNDARIES .

1. CHECK IN WITH YOURSELF AND HOW YOU FEEL TOWARDS YOUR TRAINING AND PERFORMANCE EVERY TRAINING DAY.

2. CHECK YOUR RESTING HEART RATE UPON RISING AND AFTER RECOVERY FROM EXERCISE.

3. MONITOR BLOOD PRESSURE- MORNING AND FOLLOWING EXERCISE.

4 .ESTABLISH SHORT TERM GOALS.

5. GIVE YOUR BODY ALL THE HELP IT NEEDS TO RECUPERATE AND DEVELOP FROM SOUND EATING AND SUPPLEMENTATION TOGETHER.

6. APPROPRIATE REST PERIODS BETWEEN WORKOUTS.

THE BEGINNING IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE WORK, FOCUS.

PEACE , ROBBY

FASICA RESTORATION BUILDS MUSCLE AND STRENGTH

MASTER OF THE MUSCLE GAME, DEAN MURRAY

A PERSON WHO HAS CONFIDENCE WILL FIND IT ‘S OK TO SAY I DON’T KNOW.
I WAS READY AND WILLING TO LEARN FROM ANOTHER MASTER OF THE HUMAN BODY. DEAN'S EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE BODY IS THE REASON MY BODYBUILDING CAREER HAS GONE TO ANOTHER LEVEL OF GROWTH STRENGTH, AND AT 65, NEW MUSCLE DEVELOPMENT. DEAN IS KEEPING MY MUSCLES, BONES AND CONNECTIVE TISSUE IN THE ANATOMICAL BEST POSITION. MUSCLE MOVES BONES AND A CORRECT LEVERAGE POSITION OF THE BONES AND JOINTS ENABLES ME TO LIFT WEIGHTS THAT ARE BEYOND ANYTHING THAT WAS POSSIBLE DURING MY COMPETITIVE TRAINING DAYS. EVEN WITH THE USE OF ANABOLIC STEROIDS, MY CURRENT LIFTS WERE UNACHIEVABLE. 36 -45 LB PLATES ON A LEG PRESS, BACK IN THE DAY, WAS UNHEARD OF, BUT AT 65, I’M STRONGER, BIGGER, THICKER AND MORE MUSCULAR. DEAN'S MASSAGE MANIPULATES THE FASCIA - THE WHITE FIBROUS TISSUE THAT COVER ALL THE BODY MUSCLES AND BONES AND TENDONS. THIS WHITE TISSUE COVERS THE MUSCLES AND MAINTAINS THE MUSCULATURE FRAMEWORK OF THE BODY. IF ANYONE WOULD HAVE TOLD ME IT WAS POSSIBLE THAT FASCIA MANIPULATION WOULD REGENERATE MY BODYBUILDING CAREER, I WOULDN’T HAVE BELIEVED THEM. WITH THE GEOMETRY OF MY SKELETON IN OPTIMAL ALIGNMENT, I INCREASE MY STRENGTH, ALLOWING ME TO BUILD MUSCLE THICKNESS AND SIZE. FASCIAL RESTORATION ALSO ALLOW MUSCLES TO RELAX, INCREASING RECOVERY AND GROWTH OF MUSCLE TISSUE. THE RESULTS HAVE BEEN BEYOND MY WILDEST IMAGINATION.

GO CONFIDENTLY IN THE DIRECTIONS OF YOUR DREAMS - ACT AS THOUGHT IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO FAIL.
PEACE, ROBBY

MY EXPERIENCE WITH FREE WEIGHT AND MACHINES

2011-10-08T17:36:00.001-07:00

DEAN MURRAY ASSISTS ME DURING MY LEG PRESS WITH OVER 1000 lbs DURING A MIKE NEVEUX PHOTO SHOOT.

ONE CABLE CURLS ARE GREAT FOR BRINGING OUT THE DEEP STRIATIONS, CARVING DEEP SEPARATIONS BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT MUSCLE GROUPS, I DO HIGH REPS 4X 15 TO 20 2 WEEKS OUT FROM A COMPETITION.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE ARM BUILDERS - NOTHING DOES IT BETTER THAN THE SCOTT BENCH CURL 5 X 10 . IF YOU WANT THEM THICK AND MUSCULAR, THIS ONE IS ''KING.'' PAUSE AT THE BOTTOM AND MAKE SURE TO STRETCH, KEEPING THE TENSION ON THE BICEP. THEN WATCH THEM GROW .

MACHINES HAVE BEEN A PART OF WEIGHT TRAINING FOR YEARS SINCE THE EARLY’‘1920s’’ MR.EUGENE SANDOW WAS SELLING WALL PULLEYS TO GYMS PRACTICALLY TO EVERY YMCA IN THE COUNTRY. I’M A HUGE CABLE/PULLEY FAN. THERE ARE EXERCISE MOVEMENTS THAT CAN BE DONE ON CERTAIN MACHINES THAT CANNOT BE DUPLICATED WITH BARBELLS AND DUMBBELLS.
MACHINES LIKE LEG EXTENSIONS , NECK MACHINES, WRIST ROLLERS, LAT PULL DOWN MACHINES AND ROWING MACHINES HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR GENERATIONS. THEY HAVE STOOD THE TEST OF TIME BECAUSE THEY WORK AND THEY WORK AS WELL AS OR BETTER THAN FREE WEIGHTS IN SOME CIRCUMSTANCES.
I BASICALLY USED MACHINES AND THE (HIT SYSTEM) DURING MY FINAL MASTER OLYMPIA APPEARANCE IN 2001. MY CONDITION WAS GREAT BUT IT SEEMED IN MY EYES, AFTER VIEWING MY PHYSIQUE AND PHOTOS FOR OVER 27 YEARS, I HAD LOST SOME OF THAT MUSCLE FULLNESS AND SHAPELY ROUNDNESS THROUGHOUT MY OVER ALL PHYSIQUE. MACHINES ADVANTAGE OVER FREE WEIGHTS IS A MATTER OF EXPERIENCE. REGARDLESS THE ARGUMENT, FREE WEIGHTS HAVE ADVANTAGES OVER MACHINE. I AM LOYAL TO FREE WEIGHTS. BARBELLS, DUMBBELLS, PULLEY AND CABLES APPARATUS. THEY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE STABILIZERS OF MY PHYSIQUE AND STILL ARE AS I APPROACH MY 70’S . FREE WEIGHTS BUILD QUALITY MUSCLE THAT LAST AND LAST! AND LAST!.

The Black Prince, My Life in Bodybuilding: Muscle VS Hustle

Adopting an approach used by its subject to achieve his legendary muscle size and shape, bodybuilding champion Robby Robinson’s long-awaited autobiography The Black Prince, My Life in Bodybuilding: Muscle VS Hustle leaves nothing to chance in documenting the life of a truly extraordinary man with an amazing story to tell. Well written and with an absence of the incidental fluff that so often litters similar such works, this book, 200 pages of some of the most revelatory insights into the fascinating and oftentimes murky bodybuilding world ever put to paper, is quite simply among the best of its kind. Like the man himself, the book’s insights are presented in a classy manner, do not hold back, are engaging and forthright.

Much more than a bodybuilding insider “tell-all”, The Black Prince, My Life in Bodybuilding: Muscle VS Hustle charts the course of Robinson’s life to reveal what makes pro bodybuilding’s man of mystery tick. Widely considered one of bodybuilding’s true renaissance men, and certainly one of its most endearing and successful champions, Robinson helped to pioneer the celebrated aesthetical shape which many feel bodybuilding

has over recent years lost from its current mass monster ranks. Ushering in massive size combined with an unprecedented degree of class, symmetry and proportionality Robinson presented a very real challenge to the great champions of the ‘70s bodybuilding era, most notably seven-time Mr. Olympia Arnold Schwarzenegger. Having spent his early years training and competing in the southern state of Florida, Robinson, an outspoken black man, encountered his share of unfair treatment, which was often reflected in his bodybuilding placements. To counter such prejudice he decided he would become so good that he could not be denied, regardless of who served to judge him on his physical merits. Robinson’s book opens with a detailed account of his early years, where many valuable life-affirming lessons were learned, and where his renowned creativity, zest for life and penchant for questioning authority were, in earnest, born. As his book reveals, Robinson would again encounter many more obstacles throughout his long and distinguished bodybuilding career, a journey which rewarded his training and dietary diligence with several championship wins, including that of the first ever Masters Mr. Olympia title in 1994. To overcome his many trials, of which are featured in his book, Robinson would take the one approach that has never betrayed him: he confronted them head on with dignity and integrity, a method that won him the respect of many and the scorn of a few influential movers and shakers.

Never one of the flock and proudly independent, Robinson soaked up the bodybuilding scene he was immersed in for almost half a decade with a sense of detached objectivism that garnered him many unique insights into the various surroundings he inhabited throughout the different stages of his full and varied life. A key member of the Golden Age of bodybuilding elite, he trained with and influenced the best. True to the ‘rebel’ moniker which for many years he has been associated with, Robinson, in The Black Prince, My Life in Bodybuilding: Muscle VS Hustle, not only provides unprecedented controversial commentary on the many shady practices and back room deals done within the hallowed ranks of IFBB bodybuilding officialdom, but also gives startling insights into the drug culture that infiltrated the pro game during his time at the top. Weaved into Robinson’s life story are his own experiences with performance enhancing drugs – including all of the substances he used at each stage of his bodybuilding career – and training and nutritional methods, where he fully documents his secrets to building a lean, muscular physique.

-Robby in his 60s,
looking better than ever!

From traveling the world as a bodybuilding ambassador, living the high life and schooling bodybuilding’s best on what a real championship physique should look like, to living as an outcast, regrouping and coming back better and stronger than ever, Robinson’s book captures the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat and the real essence of what it means to be one of life’s enduring winners. From a man whose outlook on life and intellectual capacities are matched only by his magnificent physique comes a book that will make you laugh and cry while motivating you pump iron to build a formidable physique of your own. Reading this book you will, with each turn of the page, feel the intensity and passion for life that flows from a source whose words provide a welcome gift in a world of cynicism and doubt.

TWO DREAMERS

2011-08-24T14:45:00.000-07:00

Good day Mr. Robinson-
I hope this message gets to you Mr. Robinson. I recently purchased your book and I read it the same day! I enjoyed your story and now am able to put together so many pieces of a puzzle that I thought were lost forever. For that alone, I thank you for writing your book. Our tales are similar.

I left for LA in 1981 for the same dreams you had. As a young kid with an art background I too went to Woodland Hills and met with JW with hopes that someday to be a part of HIS “gang”. As in many cases that never materialized and I was an 18 yr. Midwestern kid living in Santa Monica but most importantly living my dream. My parents didn’t have a lot of money to help me so I worked at Frontrunners and all monies went to rent and food. As an artist I managed to find time to paint murals and did portraits which I continue to do today as this I feel is God given and I never want to take that for granted. I worked at the Santa Monica Place mall and still today love the atmosphere of Santa Monica & Venice. I trained at World Gym at 2210 Main St and became a regular and grew my hair long and colored it white (appropriately receiving the nickname “Blondie” from Joe Gold). It became my second home as it did for many in the day. The strange thing for me was see and getting to and become friends with Samir Bannout, Dean Tornabene… as a young kid it was a “wonder-like kinda thing”… hard to explain, but you know what I mean. Like all good things, my timeline had to come to an end and I came back to WI and got my college degree in Art/Illustration and now an involved with commercial real estate as well.

After reading your book I feel this letter is 30 years past due so I wanted to write to you and let you know that respect has no timeline and I respect you more today than the first time I met you at World’s. I have to admit I could barely get out a “hello” to you as we shared a cable machine to do Tri-pushdowns, man, you were the reason I came out to LA and tried to make it. That was the last time our paths crossed. Your silence and determination have paved a mental path that I still follow. After reading your book I now feel I know a little better and had to wish you well.

At 48 years old (yes we have to admit we all age) I still continue to train /eat and live right. I have a beautiful wife and two great kids. We have been fortunate as the past 4 years we’ve been back & forth to LA with our daughter who is a singer /actress which brings us back as a family to Santa Monica and we ALL train at Gold’s for the week which allows us to catch up with past friends out there. I have been fortunate to rekindle friendships with the Ferrigno family, Rico McClinton and stop by there when we are in town.

At some point in time I hope I have the opportunity to have my son Sam meet you & shake your hand, true role models are hard to find, unless your name is Robby Robinson…

Peace and good health you,
Mike Maedke

MIKE MAEDKE - GLAD YOU ENJOYED MY BOOK; THE BLACK PRINCE / MUSCLE VS HUSTLE. I CAN RELATE TO YOUR DREAM, MIKE. IT WAS GREAT READING YOUR LETTER, LIKE GOING BACK IN TIME, EVERYTHING SEEMED TO SLOW DOWN AS I READ YOUR WORDS. THOSE MEMORIES WERE ABOUT THE GOOD OLD DAYS.
YOU HAD THIS FEELING OF BEING CAUGHT IN A ''TIME WARP SUSPENDED IN SPACE ''.
EVEN THOUGH WE HAD VERY LITTLE MONEY. WE STILL HAD THIS FEELING AND VISION EVERYTHING WAS GOING TO WORK ITSELF OUT FOR THE BEST. DESTINY IS ACHIEVING THE DREAM REGARDLESS, THE PROFESSION ONE CHOOSE IN THE COURSE OF LIFE. GREAT TO SEE YOU HAVE FOLLOWED YOUR DREAM AND ENJOYING SUCCESS, WHICH INCLUDES TWO WONDERFUL KIDS AND A SWEETHEART. THOSE ARE THE REAL TREASURES. WISH YOU MUCH HAPPINESS AND CONTINUED SUCCESS. AS AN ARTIST MYSELF, ART TOO IS A PART OF MY BACKGROUND. I PAINT ON SILK THAT IS THEN MADE INTO KIMONOS BY THE SPONSOR OF MY BLOG; BODY AND ART. WISH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY JOY.

BEST ALWAYS, ROBBY ROBINSON

REVIEWS ARE ROLLING IN!

2011-08-06T14:49:00.001-07:00

As always with memoir, it’s a question of, is this person’s life worth writing about? In Robby’s case, the answer is, unequivocally, yes! His experiences are unique. No one else lived this story. I think this is precisely the right book Robby should have written. It’s as if he’s distilled every question that he’s been asked through the years, about his training, his life, and organized it perfectly in 200 pages. I learned a lot about the sport and all of the anecdotes, stories from his life are fascinating. The combination of teaching, tell-all and voice (his sense of determination and bravado are pitch-perfect: exactly right for the sport) make this a great read.
Linda Davis, writer

Hello RR just wanted to tell you how much I loved your book, it was a very easy read, and very informative . Anyone who considers themselves a bodybuilder must have your book ! I was always a fan of yours growing up in the 70's but after reading your book I became a bigger fan and admire your candor and determination.
Peace and blessings,
Frank the tank Robinson

Robby Robinson's autobiography is a must read for all fans of the Black Prince and body-building enthusiasts alike. Growing up, Robby was my idol during what has been called the "Golden Age" of body-building. My respect and admiration for this man has grown tremendously after reading his life story. Here is a man of very humble beginnings who overcame many trails, tribulations and obstacles not to mention politics and racism to establish himself as one of the greatest body-building names of all time. Although perhaps not his intention, his tenacity, integrity, passion and commitment to be the best he could be that comes through each chapter of his book is both highly inspirational and motivational. He clearly demonstrates through the telling of his story that having a dream combined with a love of one's craft, dedication, hard work and an unwavering belief in oneself is a surefire recipe for achieving success and greatness in life. This man is a champion not only in body-building but in life. His book is a real page turner that has not only touched my heart but changed my life.
Gary Casaccio, M.D.

Robby,

Just finished reading your book Robby.....As a BB enthusiast,and having followed all your foot-steps in Muscle-Builder/Flex, through the years, it was indeed a real eye opener....and you sir is to be highly commended for following your heart and staying true to yourself!!!....Highly recommended reading!!!!
Tony Tsompanellis

Hi Robby,

Really enjoyed your book! Thank you for taking the time to write it and
share your life story with everyone.

The adversity and unfair treatment, that you experienced and still managed
to move forward and not breakdown is most inspiring and encouraging.

Thanks for shedding a light on the "true" world of bodybuilding, as many
people, especially kids are gambling and throwing their lives away, in
pursuit of a dream, which is more of a fantasy, portrayed by the magazines
and the "business", not sport of bodybuilding.

Compete for fun and no matter how you place, keep training as a means to
enhance your life and not tear it down, with a fantasy lifestyle.

People need to hear your story and kids need to be warned, about this
fantasy business, in an effort to keep them grounded to the truth and to
continue training in a healthy fashion, in an effort to extract the true
benefits of bodybuilding.

"Being your best" is what it's all about and you have done just that.

Robby, you continue to inspire today and will lead the next generation into a healthy and balanced lifestyle, showing that true bodybuilding can be a healthy way to enhance one's life. You also serve to inspire the older trainer, to continue and not to give up to age or bouts of bad health.
You have become like another Jack Lalane, leading by example!
Sincerely,
Steve Speyrer

Hi Robby,

I received your book yesterday and have so far read the first three chapters; amazing stuff, very well-written, an absorbing read. Thank you once again and you have a great day sir. Talk soon.

Kindest regards

A JOURNEY TO THE MASTER CLASS ENDS WITH WRITING THE FOREWORD FOR THE BLACK PRINCE

2011-08-02T13:25:00.000-07:00

PAUL, YOU CAME A WORLD AWAY TO TRAIN AT MY MASTER CLASS. THE FOUR -DAY JOURNEY WAS ONE TO REMEMBER. THANKS FOR YOU HARD WORK AND SUPPORT. WISH YOU MUCH BODYBUILDING SUCCESS IN THIS YEARS MASTER COMPETITION. ROBBY ROBINSON

The Foreword from The Black Prince

Robby Robinson is an enigmatic figure in the history of bodybuilding. He is a genuine introvert in the genuinely extraverted arena. He is retiring whilst his physique is arresting. He is quietly spoken and of few words in an activity beset by hype and exaggeration.

To encounter Robinson makes him no less of an enigma. He is an impactful presence. He keeps to himself, even in company, and yet when he does interact, he is there in a fullness of engagement, a profound intensity of communication that very few human beings can offer.

When one relates to Robby Robinson, you encounter the history, the man, the physique and the bodybuilder. Of course, these aspects are all tied into the one person, but it is the interplay of these components of Robby’s personality that make him such a compelling figure.

The history is, in some ways, well known. He was and is a superstar bodybuilder; one of the most successful professional bodybuilders ever to take the stage. He won an IFBB Mr. America in 1975, drug-free, with a 29” waist and 20” biceps. His illustrious career included numerous World and Universe titles, Pro victories and culminated in a number of Masters Mr. Olympia titles.

And yet an even richer history lies in the background. A childhood in the Tallahassee woods, an extraordinarily different home life and the experience of racial prejudice in the southern states in a less enlightened era. His formative history made him a man of remarkable resolve.

Robinson the man is illustrated as his history becomes part of bodybuilding‘s history. Confronted with continued inequity and blatant unfairness, he did not sell out nor did he limp away defeated. He continued on, undaunted, letting his discipline and his physique do his talking. He remained the captain of his own fate. He kept his own sense of self whilst operating in a world that would (and has) totally unsettled and destroyed a great number of good people.

And then there is the Robinson physique. Now aged 64, he has returned to the drug-free 203lb 5' 8”physique that first boggled bodybuilding’s collective mind in 1975. Sitting opposite you, Robinson does not seem that big, except perhaps when you glimpse the triceps that seem to go on forever. But then he takes off his shirt and flexes ... and still he seems not so big... and yet he is huge.... As 20” upper arms still peak and bulge. Full muscle bellies crowd tiny joints. Flaring lats frame a minuscule, detailed waist, which suddenly explodes into sweeping, shredded quadriceps. He is both huge and small and rock hard. His physique still is a challenge to the observer’s capacity for perception and appreciation. He embodies the true bodybuilding aesthetic. He presents a physical and optical illusion which is paradoxically real and right before your eyes.

When Robinson walks, there is a feline grace to his movement. There is no waddling uncomfortable gait here, so often associated with the current 250lb+ competitor. An astute observer sees the fluidity of a champion athlete; the running back and the sprinter can still be seen in his carriage. His aesthetics are built upon a functional athleticism.

And most every morning at 8 a.m. at Marina Fitness in Marina Del Rey, the bodybuilder Robby Robinson can be found training. He might be training with and instructing a local bodybuilder, or an interstate bodybuilder or an international guest who has flown half away around the world to participate in his Master Class. Or he might be training with his partner or by himself. But Robby will be training. Each rep will be perfect, each set will be at a specific cadence, each workout will have a specific purpose. Each muscle group will be engaged fully whether he is doing warm up sets of preacher curls with 40lbs, or sets of 8 squats and dead lifts with 450lbs+ (which he still regularly performs). All exact, all focused, all without histrionics or antics. Just focused, precise effort.

Whether there is anybody else there or not, Robby is training. He is still learning about his physique, and its response to training and nutrition. If bodybuilding has a Zen practitioner, if bodybuilding has a venerable grandmaster of the art form, it is Robby Robinson.

This book is a chronicle of Robby Robinson’s exceptional life and the journey upon which it has taken him. You can glimpse his spirituality and his soul in the stands and positions that he takes. His gift to us? Robby Robinson, enigma though he may be, is what bodybuilding always has been about, what it should be about, and hopefully, what it may become again.

MUSCLE SHAPE TRAINING

2011-07-28T18:49:00.001-07:00

WEIGHT TRAINING BUILDS MUSCLE THICKNESS AND SIZE. BUT IT'S POSING THE LAST MONTH BEFORE A COMPETITION RIGHT -UP TO THE DAY OF THE SHOW, THAT CREATES THAT DRY DEEP SEPARATION BETWEEN MUSCLE GROUPS ON STAGE UNDER THE LIGHTS, LEAVING YOUR SKIN LOOKING LIKE SARAN-WRAP ALL-OVER = THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WINNING AND LOSING THE CHAMPIONSHIP.

I HIT OVER 100 POSES TWICE A DAY OF THE 7 MANDATORY POSES HOLDING EACH ONE FOR 15 TO 20 SECONDS. NOTHING DEVELOPS THAT SHREDDED MUSCULAR LOOK LIKE POSING ONE OF THE BIG KEYS TO MY SUCCESSFUL CAREER.

PHOTOS BY MIKE NEVEUX

DIARY OF THE BLACK PRINCE

A MUSCLE SHAPE IS DETERMINED BY HEREDITY. WHILE TRAINING IN MY CLOSET GYM IN TALLAHASSEE, I HAD THIS VISION OF SOMETHING AWESOME-
OTHER WORLDLY. I WAS CLUELESS ABOUT GENETICS OR HEREDITY. DOES A BODYBUILDER HAVE CONTROL OVER HOW A MUSCLE WILL LOOK AFTER IT HAS BEEN ENLARGED? WILL THE SELECTION OF EXERCISES FOR A PARTICULAR MUSCLE MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN HOW THAT MUSCLE WILL LOOK?
AND WILL ONES CHOICE OF SETS AND REPS AND RHYTHM PLAY A ROLE .I ‘M SURE THE VAST MAJORITY OF BODYBUILDERS BEGINNERS OR SUPERSTARS LIKE TO FEEL THEY INDEED DO HAVE CONTROL OVER HOW EACH OF THEIR MUSCLES WILL LOOK AS A SCULPTOR CHISELING AWAY AT SOME PIECE OF MARBLE OR GRANITE. I HEAR THE EXPERTS AND GURUS SCREAM NO WAY. MANY REFUTE THAT BELIEF. ON THE OTHER HAND, THERE ARE SOME TECHNIQUES THAT CAN IF APPLIED CORRECTLY, CAN ALTER THE APPEARANCE OF A MUSCLE. THERE IS SOMETHING HEALTHY AND INVIGORATING ABOUT DIRECT ACTION.

SAMPLE ROUTINE
1.DO 5 REPS OF SCOTT BENCH CURLS WITH A E-Z CURL BAR. 5 REPS OF STRAIGHT BAR CURLS BACK TO BACK MAKE SURE TO STRETCH AT THE BOTTOM PAUSE REP STYLE.
THEN DO 8 REPS OF THE ZOTTMAN CURL ONE ARM AT A TIME.THIS EXERCISE CREATES A DEEP SPLIT HIGH PEAKED BICEPS. LIKE THE ONES YOU SEE IN ALL MY OLD AND RECENT PHOTOS.YOU CAN ALWAYS MAKE PROGRESS WITH USE OF FOCUS, ATTENTION, MINDSET.

WATCH YOUR ARM SHAPE AND SIZE CHANGE. MY LIST OF EXERCISES FOR SHAPING AND ALTERING THE APPEARANCE OF A MUSCLES GROUP IS ONE
OF THE REASON FOR MY SUCCESS AS A LEGEND OF THE GAME .

BUILDING MUSCLE SIZE INCREASING STRENGTH GAINS

2011-07-12T19:34:00.000-07:00

TO BUILD QUALITY MUSCLE AND STRENGTH YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT OF A ROLE TIMING PLAYS IN YOUR SUCCESS AND FAILURE.

BODY AND ART; ART OPENING & BOOK SIGNING

MY GOAL AS A BODYBUILDER , EVEN NOW IS TO BUILD BIGGER MUSCLES AND BECOME MORE POWERFUL AND STRONG. THE ONLY WAY YOU ACHIEVE THAT IS THE USE OF PROGRESSIVE EXERCISE RESISTANCE TO FORCE THE MUSCLES TO ADAPT AND GROW. THIS INCREASED WORKLOAD OR PROGRESSIVE RESISTANCE CAN BE ACHIEVED IN SEVERAL WAYS:

1 . BY INCREASING THE FORCE OF CONTRACTION THROUGH INCREASED RESISTANCE SUCH AS WHEN LIFTING HEAVIER WEIGHT, BY INCREASING THE DURATION OF TIME THAT THE MUSCLE IS UNDER TENSION OR CONTRACTED, AND BY INCREASING THE FREQUENCY OF EXERCISE.

2. CREATINE HELPS IN ALL THREE WAYS: IT HELPS BUILD LEAN BODY MASS, WHICH ALLOWS STILL GREATER FORCE TO USED; PROVIDES ENERGY SO DURATION OF EXERCISE OR WORK CAN BE LENGTHENED ; AND SPEEDS RECOVERY SO EXERCISE FREQUENCY CAN BE INCREASED.

3, CARBOHYDRATES
EATING TO FEW CARBOHYDRATES CAN LEAVE YOUR MUSCLES FEELING AND LOOKING FLAT. MUSCLE FULLNESS DEPENDS, TO A LARGE EXTENT, ON THE GLYCOGEN STORED IN THE MUSCLE CELLS.

BALANCED MEALS

I MAY SOUND LIKE A BROKEN RECORD, BUT IF YOU THINK A BIG BOWL OF PASTA
IS A MEAL, OR IF YOUR IDEA OF A MUSCLE BUILDING BREAKFAST IS A BOWL OF OATMEAL WITH FRUIT, YOU ‘RE DEAD WRONG! HARD COLD FACT YOU ARE NOT GOING TO BUILD ANY MUSCLE. THE BAD PART IS YOU ARE WASTING YOUR PRECIOUS TIME. EACH MEAL MUST, AND READ MY LIPS, MUST CONTAIN A BALANCE OF PROTEIN AND COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES IN ORDER FOR YOU TO REALLY GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR WEIGHT TRAINING . SO MANY SHOOT FOR A SIX OR 8 MEAL PLAN, BUT THEY JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANT ROLE THE COMBINATION OF FOODS PLAY IN THEIR ABILITY TO GAIN MUSCLE MASS AND DROP BODY FAT.

IMAGINE YOU DIVIDE YOUR PLATES INTO THIRDS;
ONE THIRD OF YOUR PLATE SHOULD HAVE A LOW -FAT SOURCE OF PROTEIN ANOTHER THIRD SHOULD CONSIST OF COMPLEX CARBOS, AND THE FINAL THIRD SHOULD BE SOME TYPE OF FIBROUS VEGETABLE. THIS HAS BEEN THE TECHNIQUE I’VE USE FOR 45 YEARS. THIS SIMPLE RR PRINCIPLE ALLOWS YOU TO EAT THE CORRECT FUEL, NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE. THAT IS HOW I’M STILL ABLE TO BUILD QUALITY MUSCLE. AGE AIN’T GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.

PEACE , RR

DIARY OF A BODYBUILDER

WHERE DO YOU THINK MOST BODYBUILDING TRAINEES AS WELL AS SOME PROS FAIL AT BUILDING MUSCLE? THE ANSWER IS VERY CLEAR, THEY DON’T EAT ENOUGH HIGH QUALITY FOODS, PLAIN AND SIMPLE. EATING OUT BRINGS THE QUALITY LEVEL DOWN A NOTCH. THEY’LL LISTEN TO THEIR STOMACHS-AND WHEN THEY FEEL FULL, STOP EATING. I HEAR BODYBUILDERS SAY THEY EAT ALL THE TIME. BUT IF YOU SLIP WITH YOUR CONSUMING QUALITY CALORIES, YOU WILL NEVER GET BIGGER. IF YOU SKIP MEALS, YOU WILL FAIL IN YOUR QUEST.

YOU HAVE TO GUT IT OUT IF YOU WANT BE A WINNER, YOU HAVE TO BLAST ALL THE EXERCISES. THE SAME PRINCIPLES APPLIES TO EATING. THE SPORT OF BODYBUILDING IS HARD. IT IS NOT FOR WIMPS. YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE HEART OF A CHAMPION EVERY TIME YOU GO INTO THE GYM. YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE TIME TO ENSURE SUCCESS. PUT IN THE WORK BOTH IN THE GYM AND AT THE EATING -TABLE. SO MANY MAKE THE MISTAKE IN THEIR DESIRE TO ACHIEVE THE RIPPED SHREDDED SCULPTURE PHYSIQUE THAT YOU NEED TO SPEND MORE TIME IN THE GYM BOMBING AND BLITZING THE BODY EVERY SINGLE DAY. FOR SURE WEIGHT TRAINING IS IMPORTANT, BUT IN ALL HONESTY, THE REAL KEY TO YOUR SUCCESS LIES NOT WITH THE WEIGHTS AND BARBELLS, BUT WHAT YOU PLACE IN YOUR MOUTH. FOCUS MORE ON THE MEALS YOU EAT EVERY TWO/THREE HOURS, NOT THE 45 -LB-PLATES YOU LIFT.

'' MUSCLE ENERGY SHOULD BE IN THE PROPORTIONS TO THE RESISTANCE IT MEETS''

DIARY OF THE BLACK PRINCE-
I HEAR SO MANY BODYBUILDERS TALKING ABOUT THEIR CARB INTAKE IS LOW SOME GUYS DON’T CONSUME ANY AT ALL BUT AT THE SAME TIME THEY ARE COMPLAINING THEIR ENERGY IS LOW, I’M NOT GETTING A PUMP, STRENGTH IS DOWN, RECOVERY FROM THE PREVIOUS WORKOUT IS LEAVING THEM SORE ALL THE TIME. YOU GOT BE TO KIDDING ME. STOP READING ALL THESE MISLEADING ARTICLES IN THE MAGS. IF IT’S NOT IROMAN -MAGAZINE, YOU ARE GETTING THE WRONG INFORMATION ABOUT BUILDING MUSCLE. STRAIGHT -UP. EATING TOO FEW CARBOHYDRATES CAN LEAVE YOUR MUSCLES FEELING AND LOOKING FLAT. MUSCLE FULLNESS DEPENDS, TO A LARGE EXTENT, ON THE GLYCOGEN STORES WITHIN THEM.’‘COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES PROVIDE A ‘’PROTEIN SPARING’’ EFFECT. CHECK IT OUT UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES, PROTEIN PLAYS A VITAL ROLL IN THE MAINTENANCE, REPAIR, AND GROWTH OF BODY TISSUES. WHEN CARBS ARE RESERVES ARE REDUCED, THE BODY WILL CONVERT PROTEIN INTO GLUCOSE FOR ENERGY. CARBS ARE VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE IF YOUR BODY DOESN’T HAVE ENOUGH. IT HAS TO METABOLIZE MORE PROTEIN. THE PRICE PAID IS A REDUCTION IN THE BODY’S STORES;IN OTHER WORDS MUSCLE DEPLETION - NO MUSCLE GROWTH.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN YOU HEAR OTHER COMPLAINS OF HOW MUCH WEIGHT THEY HAVE DROPPED SINCE GOING ON A LOW CARB DIET. POINT BLANK A LOT OF THE WEIGHT YOU DROP WHILE ON A LOW CARB DIET IS WATER WEIGHT. FOR EVERY GRAM OF CARBS THAT IS STORED IN MUSCLE TISSUE, AROUND THREE GRAMS OF WATER IS USUALLY ACCOMPANY IT. WHEN DECREASING YOUR CARBS INTAKE, YOU NATURALLY DROP BODY WATER ALTHOUGH THIS MIGHT SOUND LIKE A GOOD IDEA. WHEN YOU RESUME EATING CARBS, YOU WILL FIND THAT YOUR BODY REBOUNDS AND RETAINS EXCESS WATER,THE WATER RETENTION WILL DISSIPATE AFTER SEVERAL DAYS,BUT IT CAN TORMENT YOUR MENTAL STATE. YOU HAVE TO KEEP THIS IN MIND: IF YOUR CARB INTAKE IS TOO LOW FORGET ABOUT BUILDING MUSCLE YOUR ENERGY WILL ALSO BE LOW. AND ONE COMMON COMPLAINT FROM PEOPLE WHO FEEL OVER -TRAINED IS LESS ENERGY AND LOSS OF MUSCLE FULLNESS. TO LIVE FULLY AND SUCCESSFULLY, WE MUST COMMIT TO SOMETHING.

A SMALL ARMY FOR BETTER HEALTH THROUGH VITAMIN SUPPLEMENTATION

2011-05-17T19:38:00.001-07:00

AWESOME PEAKS. HARD WORK PAYS OFF, EVEN AT 65!

DID YOU WATCH THE RECENT PIECE DONE BY ONE OF AMERICAS LARGEST NEWS AGENCY CBS ON TRASHING DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS? ARTIST ART BILLINGER E-MAILED ME THAT HE WAS VERY UPSET THAT THE NEWS MEDIA WOULD DISCREDIT THE VITAMIN REGIME THAT HAS IMPACTED HIS HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE. ART BILLINGER IS THE ARTIST WHOSE ANIMATED PIECE OF WORK IS CONSTANTLY FLEXING AT THE END OF MY BLOG.

HOW COULD SUCH A HIGH QUALITY NEWS AGENCY MAKE SUCH A WEAK CLAIM AND NOT DO A STAND UP JOB AT RESEARCH? YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE THEIR DRUG ADVERTISERS ARE BEHIND THIS REPORT. WHAT HAPPEN TO THE DAYS OF FAIR ACCURATE REPORTING?

MY RESEARCH COMES OUT OF MY OWN AND MY CLIENTS EXPERIENCE. SUPPLEMENTATION HAS PLAYED A HUGE ROLL IN MY STRENGTH, YOUTHFULNESS AND LONGEVITY.

As you age your natural supply of DNA which are the BODIES building blocks degenerate. Aging happens faster than we like when our cells don’t slough off and their efficiency to be replaced by new ones diminishes. When the body is given the right nutrients, cell restoration will continue beyond their expectancy. The problem is, when we age our bodies don’t assimilate nutrients as as well as it once did, as a result higher amounts of these essential nutrients are needed. Even the best foods will not supply enough.
ONES YOUTHFULNESS CAN BE RESTORED FROM INSIDE BY STRENGTHENING YOUR LEAN BODY MASS, METABOLISM, AND IMMUNE RESPONSE WITH GOOD NUTRITION, REGULAR EXERCISE, FRESH AIR, AND A POSITIVE OUTLOOK. SLOWING AGING MEANS A BETTER MEMORY WITH ALL YOUR SENSES, GREAT SKIN WITH FEWER WRINKLES, A STRONG HEART, BONES AND IMMUNE RESPONSE, FLEXIBLE JOINTS AND MUSCLE TONE. THE BLACK PRINCE IS YOUR OVER 60 ROLE MODEL, HIGHER METABOLISM RATE AND A HEALTHY SEX LIFE WITHOUT VIAGRA. QUALITY YEARS CAN BE ADDED TO LIFE, WHEN CHANGES ARE MADE IN YOUR LIFESTYLE. LEARN HOW TO RELAX .KEEP ACTIVE AND ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT LIFE.

I AM ALWAYS HYPING MYSELF INTO MAKING IMPROVEMENTS IN MY TRAINING AND BUSINESS PRODUCTIONS- RR. NET, THE FORUM, BLOG AND BODY & ART . IN THE GYM MY FOCUS IS ON ACHIEVING THE NEXT 5 % TO 10% GAIN IN ALL MY EXERCISES, AND A TAD MORE ON EACH OF MY MUSCLE GIRTHS-THESE ARE MEDIUM -TERM-GOALS. IF YOU APPLY YOURSELF TO THIS APPROACH, AND KEEP DOING IT REPEATEDLY FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS ,YOU’LL DEVELOP BIGGER MUSCLES. YOUR IMMEDIATE SHORT -TERM TARGET SHOULD BE TO MAKE GOALS. THE NEXT SMALL STEP TOWARDS YOUR NEXT SET OF MEDIUM TERM GOALS AS MUCH AS IS PRACTICALLY POSSIBLE. COMMAND EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE TO CREATING THE CONDITIONS NEEDED TO ADD IRON TO EACH EXERCISE EVERY WEEK OR TWO, BE THAT INCREMENT A POUND OR TWO( FOR BIG EXERCISES),OR JUST A FEW OUNCES( FOR SMALL EXERCISES).
POUNDAGE PROGRESSION IN CORRECT EXERCISE TECHNIQUE FOR SETS OF AT LEAST SIX REPS IS WHAT BODYBUILDING IS ALL ABOUT.
NEVER LOSE SIGHT OF THE IMPORTANCE OF PROGRESSIVE POUNDAGE. ORGANIZE YOUR TRAINING PROGRAM WITH FREQUENCY, NUTRITION, SLEEP AND REST HABITS SO THAT YOU MAKE PROGRESSIVE MUSCLE GAINS A REALITY. LIFE IS MY TRAINING GROUND.

YOU WILL DRAW TO YOURSELF THAT WHICH YOU MOST CONSISTENTLY THINK ABOUT.

IF THERE IS ANYBODY THAT CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT THEIR SITUATION IT IS THE GOVERNATOR. IF YOU WANT THE RAINBOW YOU HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THE RAIN.

SUGAR AND SPICE AND EVERYTHING NICE

2011-04-11T13:00:00.000-07:00

MISS SUGAR AND SPICE WILL GET YOU EVERY TIME, IF YOU LET HER.

DON'T LET ALL YOUR HARD WORK IN THE GYM BE CANCELED OUT BY SUGAR.
MAKE SOME CHANGES.

DIARY OF THE BLACK PRINCE

WHILE GROWING UP, CANDY AND BREAKFAST CEREALS WAS SOMETHING I ENJOYED FOR A VERY SHORT TIME. AFTER SEEING ONE OF MY SCHOOL FRIENDS THROWING UP CHUNKS OF CANDY AND BLOOD AND BECOMING SERIOUSLY ILL AND GOING INTO CONVULSION, I TRADED THE CANDY/CEREAL THING FOR FRUITS AND NUTS.
SUGAR INTAKE IS A FACTOR IN MANY DISEASES-THE SWEET SUBSTANCE STIMULATES THE PANCREAS TO PRODUCT INSULIN, WHICH IS NEEDED TO METABOLIZE SIMPLE CARBOHYDRATES. HIGH INTAKE OF SIMPLE CARBOHYDRATES RESULTS IN AN OVER-STIMULATION OF THE PANCREAS THAT ‘’WEARS OUT’’ THIS IMPORTANT ORGAN. WHEN THE PANCREAS CANNOT HANDLE THE SUGAR INTAKE, DIABETES, HYPOGLYCEMIA ARE THE RESULTS. THE PANCREAS IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ORGANS UTILIZED BY THE BODY TO PREVENT DISEASE.TAKE TIME AND MAKE CHANGES. SOMETIMES THINGS FALL INTO YOUR LAP AND YOU REALIZE HOW IMPORTANT IT IS AND IT DESERVES YOUR FULL ATTENTION. THIS IS YOUR HEALTH.

SODIUM LOADING FOR A RIPPED PHYSIQUE

2011-04-05T18:49:00.000-07:00

I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN NATURALLY LEAN AND MUSCULAR. AT A VERY YOUNG AGE I NOTICED HOW MY MUSCLES RESPONDED TO EXERCISES I PERFORMED EACH DAY WITH JACK LALANNE. MY KIDS ARE ALWAYS TELLING ME HOW MUSCULAR MY GRANDSON’S ARE. HAVING GOOD GENETIC CODING, MOTIVATED, TO NO END, WITH A LOVE FOR HARDCORE TRAINING .
I EAT LEAN YEAR ROUND, HAVE BEEN DOING SO SINCE I WAS A KID . MY BELIEF IS ALL OF THOSE WORKING PIECES MAKES IT EASY FOR ME. JUST LOWERING YOUR SODIUM INTAKE WILL SHOW MUSCLE THAT WAS NOT THERE BEFORE. ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE GOING HARD IN THE GYM. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MAKE CHANGES, IF THINGS ARE NOT WORKING OUT LIKE YOU THINK THEY SHOULD, WHILE PURSUING YOUR DREAM. IF NOT YOU WILL KEEP GETTING THE SAME RESULTS. I EAT ONLY ORGANIC FOOD SOURCES WITH LOW SODIUM INDEX I CONSUME SOME (SEA SALT )WITH EACH MEAL. OVER THE 3 DAY PERIOD, I SLOWLY INCREASE THE SODIUM EACH DAY HEADING INTO THE COMPETITION. THIS GIVES MY BODY 3 DAYS TO LOWER THE SODIUM & WATER LEVELS IN THE SKIN, UNDER THE SKIN PLUS THE MUSCLE TISSUE. ONCE YOU DROP THE SODIUM ALL THE WATER YOU WERE HOLDING IS TRANSFERED DIRECTLY INTO THE MUSCLES, LEAVING YOU WITH A HARD, DENSE, MUSCULAR PHYSIQUE. EVERYTHING TO SOME DEGREE HAS SOME SODIUM.
I DROP THE EGGS AND EAT MORE FISH, LEAN-BEEF AND TURKEY. AVOID FOODS THAT INDICATE HIGH SODIUM CONTENTS. IF YOU STAY AWAY FROM PACKAGED AND CANNED FOODS AND EATING OUT A LOT, YOUR SODIUM LEVEL SHOULD BE IN A GOOD RANGE.
STAY AWAY FROM DIURETIC OF ANY TYPE. THEY KILL. MODERN BODYBUILDERS LIVE A DANGEROUSLY LIFE. THE DEATH RATES, STROKES HAVE GREATLY INCREASED. THE DEATH LIST IS GROWING. O BURKE ENDED HIS CAREER IN A COMA. WARM REGARDS TO HIM AND HIS FAMILY.
I'M ALWAYS AROUND 4 TO 5 % BODY FAT. THAT'S ABOUT WHERE I WAS FOR THE SHOOTING OF BUILT. MY BODY'S NEVER REALLY KNOWN ANYTHING BUT THAT. IT REALLY WOULDN'T BE A REALISTIC PURSUIT FOR ANYONE THAT HASN'T ALWAYS BEEN LEAN THEIR WHOLE LIFE. IT SHOULD BE A VERY GRADUAL TAPERING DOWN AND IF YOU DID THE 90 DAY CHALLENGE THAT WOULD SPUR THE BODY FAT LEVEL TO DROP. THIS WAS DAVID'S EXPERIENCE, AND HE HAS BEEN ABLE TO MAINTAIN A LOW LEVEL( 5-6%) EVER SINCE.

QUESTIONS FOR ROBBY

2011-03-24T19:24:00.000-07:00

FROM THE OLD DAYS SO YOUNG AND BOLD - AGE AIN'T GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH IT YOU CAN ALWAYS IMPROVE.

POSING IS ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO INCREASE SEPARATION OF EACH MUSCLE GROUP FROM THE OTHER. POSING-DETAILS EACH BODY PART INTO AND ANATOMY CHART OF MUSCLE.

Q - Why do you alternate light and heavy workout days?

ROBBY - Rotating variables has been an important part of my approach to bodybuilding. I’m always rotating the different parts of my plan. I rotate a set selection of foods, supplements, exercises and my training workloads. It keeps the body confident about what to expect, but at the same time on its toes - guessing and excited. The whole key to bodybuilding is being able to communicate with your body. I think the light-heavy approach has saved me from injuries and getting burned out. The idea to alternate light and heavy goes back to my early days of lifting in Tallahassee. I split my love for focusing on the muscle, and my love for challenging myself with heavy weight.

Q - What number of reps, exercises and sets do you do?

ROBBY - On my heavy days my reps are 8 to 10, and my lighter days 12 to 15, sometimes as high as 20. It’s like I’m using a different set of paint brushes - a heavy stroke one time around and the next time I’ll go back in with a lighter stroke, for detail. I’ve always seen training as art; you’re able to create that muscle, if you really focus on it. It’ll look exactly how you want. As far as the number of sets and exercises - it seems I’ve paid my dues because now with muscle maturity I’m able to get the effect I need from my workouts with less sets and exercises than I needed over the years. But you better believe, one of my sets, with the weight I’m handling and the mental picture I have of the isolated muscle group, is probably more effective than another person’s entire workout.

Q - What’s your take on cardio to loose weight and get in shape, and how much did you do in your eight-week plan?

ROBBY - I’m in it for the long haul. Bodybuilding was never a means to an end for me, but a way of life. Using that approach in my decision making has always lead me down the wiser road. It’s probably strange to hear a bodybuilder say - the body is delicate, but it is. Overdoing anything will wear the body and mind down. A lot of cardio and over-training wears the joints and ligaments and tendons down and sets you up for injuries. Food has always been my biggest ally in creating a conditioned, ripped physique. I’ve seen miracles happen with the right eating plan. That alone will create a popping metabolism, weight loss, muscle growth, high testosterone and energy levels plus beautiful skin and hair. Yes, I always thought beauty was a big part of bodybuilding. With a good eating and lifestyle plan, weight loss will happen at the right pace. It’s about conditioning the mind and body to a lifestyle. My cardio plan is 15 to 20 minutes after my three workouts a week. I like to alternate between a flat and a high incline every minute. I definitely don’t hold on when I walk on the treadmill. I think it’s better for your overall conditioning. Some sessions you will find me ski walking on it. I didn’t need to change this format during my eight-week countdown.

Questions from a Muscle Mag interview

2011-03-17T16:19:00.000-07:00

5 Cent - My companion and best friend

Q. You talk about manipulating your eating during your Eight-Week countdown. What does that entail?
Robby : My edge over my competitors was always my off-season work and that’s sticking to a great eating plan and handling the same weights I used when on steroids. I’ve just always stayed in shape. Then it only takes little tweaks in my eating and training to get the effect I want, with no major shock to my mind and body. ‘No shock’ is key to a bodybuilders’ success. I’m eating 3500 calories a day during the first three weeks, then fluctuating around 3000 calories the next three weeks and then they’ll shift to 2700 the final two weeks. My protein numbers stay consistent during the program, but I switch to leaner sources the last two weeks - chicken, fish, turkey and fewer egg yolks. It’s the fats and carbs I manipulate, because I don’t want either one to be too low for too long. On training days, I want to make sure that my breakfast meal fuels me for my workout, so I’ll eat a large bowl of steel-cut oats and cut the flax oil to a teaspoon. This way I can’t wait to get my hands on some iron. I’m explosive mentally and physically. On off days, I’ll switch it around and increase my flaxseed oil and lower my carbs. I up my amino acids, creatine and glutamine.

Q. What approach did you take in your training for this countdown?
Robby : I’ve always loved to challenge myself with heavy weights. That hasn’t changed over the years. And since I was in condition going into this program, I started right off handling my max weights, doing the basic exercises. After a couple weeks, I broke it down to where I combined cables and dumbbells with the basics. During the last week, I took my body through drop sets and added a couple machines to throw a different angle in the mix. Compound exercises are my favorite; pullover presses, clean and presses. They have the power to mold the overall look of the physique. Over the eight weeks I used other tactics to stimulate muscle growth. I’d use forced reps, really focusing on the burn and work to get a powerful muscle contraction and hold it for a two-second pause. I also increased the pace between the sets. My priority is to get as much nutrient-carrying blood into my muscles as possible. This is volumization of the muscle fibers otherwise known as the pump, and it only happens when all the pieces of the plan I’ve laid out, are in order. One piece missing and it just won’t work.

WRAP IT UP TO THE ESSENCE OF BODYBUILDING

2011-03-08T12:14:00.000-08:00

DIARY OF THE BLACK PRINCE

WEAKNESS OF MIND IS THE DESTRUCTION OF MANY BODYBUILDERS CAREERS FOR SUCCESS. THE BODYBUILDER HAS TO LEARN TO THRIVE OFF REPETITION. YOU HAVE TO GROOM YOURSELF TO LOVE REPETITION, BUT NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU READ ABOUT TRAINING, AND NO MATTER HOW KNOWLEDGEABLE YOU BECOME THE FOLLOWING WILL STILL PROVIDE YOU WITH THE SECRETS PEOPLE CRAVE FOR IN ORDER TO BUILD BIGGER AND STRONGER MUSCLES. ARE YOU REALLY FOLLOWING A SOLID TRAINING ROUTINE? ARE YOU REALLY USING A TRAINING FREQUENCY WITHIN YOUR RECUPERATIVE ABILITIES? DO YOU ALTERNATE TWO DIFFERENT ROUTINES OVER THREE WORKOUTS EACH WEEK? WEIGHT TRAIN AT LEAST THREE TIMES A WEEK? ARE YOU REALLY FOCUSING ON THE COMPOUND MOVEMENTS ON HEAVY WEEKS AND REALLY USING EXCELLENT TECHNIQUE AND CONTROLLED RHYTHMIC REPS WITH AN EYE ON YOUR BONE'S GEOMETRY? ARE YOU REALLY TRAINING HARD? ARE YOU REALLY CONSUMING FIVE TO SIX MEALS DAILY WITH THE CALORIES AND NUTRIENTS YOU NEED TO GROW ON? ARE YOU REALLY SLEEPING WELL FOR AT LEAST EIGHT HOURS EVERY NIGHT? ARE YOU KEEPING WRITTEN JOURNAL ON YOUR WORKOUTS AND ADDING THAT LITTLE BIT OF IRON ON EACH BIG EXERCISE ON YOUR HEAVY WEEK WITHOUT EVER COMPROMISING YOUR EXERCISE FORM?
IF YOU CAN’T ANSWER YES TO ALL THESE Q’s ; THE TRUE ESSENCE OF A SUCCESSFUL BODYBUILDER, YOU ONLY HAVE YOURSELF TO HOLD RESPONSIBLE FOR SLOW OR NON EXISTENT PROGRESS. HATE TO SOUND HARSH, BUT THIS IS THE TRUE REALITY. NO ATTENTION TO ANY ISSUE WILL COMPENSATE FOR DEFICIENCIES IN THE ESSENCE. YOU’VE GOT TO GET THE ESSENCE IN 100% ORDER, AND NO-ONE CAN DO THAT FOR YOU OTHER THAN YOURSELF - CHALLENGE YOURSELF TO GET EVERYTHING IN GOOD ORDER EVERY SINGLE DAY, AND DELIVER ON IT ALL EVERY SINGLE DAY ON AN UNRELENTING BASIS.
‘’THEN YOU’LL MAKE PROGRESS’’ THAT’S A HARD COLD FACT.
PEACE, ROBBY

VITAMIN -D COD LIVER OIL RAISES TESTOSTERONE LEVEL

2011-02-27T15:24:00.000-08:00

DIARY OF THE BLACK PRINCE

FELLOWS, IF YOU JUST THINK VITAMIN-D IS JUST FOR IMMUNE AND BONE HEALTH,THEN YOU’VE MISSED OUT ON ALL OUR BLOGS ABOUT ITS IMPORTANCE FOR MUSCLE STRENGTH. READ MY LIPS, YES MUSCLES ACTUALLY HAVE VIT -D RECEPTORS CRUCIAL TO STRENGTH. TWO STUDIES FURTHER HIGHLIGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF D WHEN IT COMES TO MUSCLES. MEN FOUND WITH HIGHER BLOOD LEVELS OF VIT-D HAD SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER LEVELS OF TESTOSTERONE AND LOWER LEVELS OF SEX-HORMONE BINDING GLOBULIN THAN THOSE WITH LOWER LEVELS OF VIT-D IN THEIR BLOOD. HAVING LOWER SHBG, MEANS THE MORE TEST IS FREE TO GET INTO THE MUSCLES AND INCREASE MUSCLE GROWTH. COLLEGE AGE WOMEN WITH LOWER BLOOD LEVELS OF VITAMIN -D HAD HIGHER LEVELS OF FAT IN THEIR MUSCLES THAN THOSE WITH HIGHER LEVELS OF THE VITAMIN-D .YOU CAN STORE BODY FAT BOTH UNDER YOUR SKIN AND IN YOUR MUSCLES. HAVING FATTIER MUSCLES NOT ONLY MEANS THAT YOU HAVE MORE BODY-FAT, BUT ALSO POTENTIALLY WEAKER MUSCLES. YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOUR VITAMIN -D LEVELS ARE UP TO PAR, AS WELL AS YOUR TESTOSTERONE LEVEL AND MUSCLE STRENGTH. I TAKE 1 TABLE SPOON IN THE MORNINGS UPON RISING AN BEFORE BED IN THE EVENINGS. CARLSON VIT -D COD-LIVER OIL ‘’LIGHTLY LEMON FLAVORED’’ IS THE BEST . 2000-5000 UNITS DAILY WILL AMP YOUR TESTOSTERONE LEVEL, SO YOUR MUSCLES, BONES AND STRENGTH GROW. PEACE , ROBBY

HIGH QUALITY EATING FOR ENERGY & PERFORMANCE

FRESHLY GROUND BEEF SAUTE WITH 1 MEDIUM TOMATO, 2 LARGE GARLIC CUBES CRUSHED, SPIKE SEASONING AND SEA SALT TO TASTE ON HOME MADE FLAT BREAD BAKED AT 350 DEGREES. VEGGIES OF CHOICE ASPARAGUS SPEARS AND BROCCOLI BUDS. YOU WILL WANT TO HAVE A SECOND SERVING. YUMMY AND JUICY!

BLOG DIARY OF A THE BLACK PRINCE

HIGH QUALITY NUTRITION IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR FOR EXERCISE AND SPORT PERFORMANCE. THE SERIOUS BODYBUILDER SHOULD NEVER GET TRIED OF HEARING THAT BODYBUILDING IS 85/ 90 % NUTRITION AND EATING HIGH QUALITY FOOD SOURCES. JUNK FOOD PAYS THE PENALTY OF POOR PERFORMANCE. ATHLETIC EXCELLENCE CANNOT BE ACHIEVED BY BEING BLESSED WITH GREAT TALENT/GENETICS OR BY JUST ADDING ANABOLIC SUPPLEMENTS OF ANY KIND TO AN INFERIOR EATING PLAN. THE ONLY EFFECTIVE ACTION IS OPTIMAL HIGH QUALITY NUTRITION. GOOD NUTRITION HELPS ELIMINATE FLUCTUATING ENERGY LEVELS, ABNORMAL FATIGUE AND SUSCEPTIBILITY TO INJURY OR ILLNESS. A REGULAR, LONG TERM, OPTIMALLY NUTRITIOUS EATING PLAN IS THE BASIS FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE; NOT PROTEIN OR EVEN CARBO/ LOADING BEFORE AN EVENT. EXERCISE IS THE INTEGRAL PART OF NUTRITION ,TOO.
HARD COLD FACT EXERCISE EASES HUNGER. YOU ARE THIRSTY AFTER A WORKOUT AS THE BODY CALLS FOR REPLACEMENT OF WATER AND LOST ELECTROLYTES, BUT NOT HUNGRY. ONE OF THE RAPID RESULTS ACHIEVED IS MUSCULAR DEVELOPMENT. IT IS A PHENOMENON. NOT ONLY DO MUSCLES BECOME TONED, BUT HEART AND LUNGS BECOME STRONGER AND FAT LOST. THE BODY DOESN’T CALL FOR CALORIE REPLACEMENT RIGHT AWAY. IT’S OWN GLYCOGEN LIFTS BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS AND PROVIDES A FEELING OF WELL BEING.
EXERCISE BECOMES A NUTRIENT IN ITSELF.

MIKE AND I ALWAYS TRASH TALKED TO EACH OTHER BACK IN THE DAY DURING THE GRAND PRIX TOURS. HE WOULD SAY SOMETHING AND I WOULD COME RIGHT BACK WITH A JAB OF MY OWN. THIS BEHAVIOR KEPT US BOTH ON EDGE. HE WOULD WIN ONE, THEN I WOULD TAKE HIM DOWN 2-1 . SOMETIMES IN MY FLASH BACK MODE, I RE-LIVE THOSE BATTLES BETWEEN US. MIKE WAS MY FAVORITE COMPETITOR. WE BOTH ALWAYS WANTED TO BEAT THE OTHER.

SUCCESSFUL BODYBUILDING

2011-01-30T18:23:00.000-08:00

MUSCLE IS WHAT THE GAME OF BODYBUILDING IS ALL ABOUT . I LOVE THE MAN/WOMAN THAT CAN SMILE IN TROUBLE, THAT CAN GATHER STRENGTH FROM DISTRESS.

DIARY OF THE BLACK PRINCE

KEEP IT SIMPLE

SUCCESSFUL BODYBUILDING DEPENDS ON THREE THINGS.

1 VIGOROUS PROGRESSIVE RESISTANCE EXERCISE USING FREE WEIGHTS AND FREE WEIGHT MACHINES.

2 PROPER NUTRITION WHICH SERVES THE PURPOSE OF FEEDING THE MUSCLES AND KEEPING THE BODY AND THE VARIOUS BODY PROCESSES
IN TOP WORKING ORDER.

3 REST AND SLEEP, FOR COMPLETE RECUPERATION FROM WORKOUTS.

KEEP THESE ASPECTS IN MIND ALL TIMES, EACH MUST BE GIVEN YOUR FULLEST ATTENTION. IF YOU IGNORE ANY ONE, YOU WILL BE HURTING YOUR
CHANCES FOR SUCCESS.

WHEN I THINK OF SOMEONE WHO MADE INCREDIBLE CHANGES IN THEIR PHYSIQUE'S, DAVID JAFFARIAN. DAVID IS MY CHOICE BECAUSE HE INSPIRED MANY TO TAKE THEIR TRAINING TO ANOTHER LEVEL, INCLUDING MYSELF. EVERYONE NEEDS SOMEONE IN THEIR CORNER WHILE CHASING THEIR DREAM. LORNA WAS THAT PERSON THERE FOR DAVID. SHE WAS THE EYES AND THE VOICE THAT GUIDED DAVID TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS AT WINNING THE MASTER CHAMPION FOR 2010. AT THE SAME TIME WHILE GOING THROUGH HER ON ADVERSITY, BUT YET VERY SUPPORTIVE. SOMEONE HE COULD COUNT ON. THEY BOTH MADE THEIR DREAM COME TRUE.

MY MOST INSPIRATIONAL WOMAN CHAMPION FOR 2010 IS JUDY CASACCIO, FAMILY MATRIARCH AND WIFE OF PSYCHIATRIST DR, GARY CASACCIO ONE OF A KIND. HER TWO BOYS; BRETT AND KYLE KEEP HER MOTIVATED BY DOING WELL IN THEIR RESPECTIVE ATHLETIC ACHIEVEMENTS. JUDY BECAME A ROLE MODEL OF STAMINA STRENGTH AND ENDURANCE FOR A HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL TEAM IN CHICAGO WHEN THEIR COACH SHOWED OUR VIDEO OF HER DOING PUSH-UPS AT THIS YEARS MASTER CLASS 2010. HER MESSAGE TO THE TEAM AND OTHERS - DO A BETTER JOB OF GETTING IN SHAPE - INSPIRED THE TEAM TO WIN THIS YEARS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP. DAVID AND JUDY’S COURAGE, DETERMINATION, AND MINDSET EMPOWERED AND INSPIRED ME TO COME INTO THIS YEAR, 2011 HIGHLY MOTIVATED .

THEY WILL EACH RECEIVE A CRYSTAL WORLD GLOBE TROPHY FOR THEIR EFFORT AND HARD WORK.

ALL OF US AT BODY & ART ROBBY@ROBBYROBINSON.NET SEND OUR CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH.

HEAVY!HEAVY! THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WALL

2011-01-07T12:38:00.000-08:00

YOU HAVE TO TAKE THEM TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WALL IF YOU ARE SEEKING GREATNESS AND OTHER WORLDLY LEG DEVELOPMENT OF EACH AREA-THE KIND THAT WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS. BEING A MASTER AT MY GAME IS A PRIDE I UNDERTOOK AS A KID GROWING UP IN THE WOODS. NOBODY THAT I CAN REMEMBER BROUGHT THAT KIND OF ATTITUDE, EFFORT, MINDSET, FOCUS, MENTAL ATTITUDE WITH THEM INTO THE GYM EVERY SINGLE WORKOUT LIKE ARNOLD, TOM “MR.QUAD” PLATZ AND YOURS TRULY. WHEN IT COMES TO HARD WORK, IT TAKES HUGE AMOUNTS OF GALL TO ENSHRINE YOUR NAME IN MY HALL OF FAME. SEEING THE SHEER JOY OF EFFORT ON TOM PLATZ FACE AS HE STEPPED BACK FROM THE SQUAT RACK WITH 500 TO 600 LBS ON HIS SHOULDERS AND THEN SLOWLY LOWER HIS BODY AND LEGS INTO THE PARALLEL POSITION, WITHOUT A BOUNCE. THAT CREATES MIND BLOWING POWER, SIZE AND DEEP SEPARATION. THIS RADIANCE OF SELF-EMPOWERMENT ENCASED HIS WHOLE PHYSIQUE. SEEING THIS WAS MIND ALTERING. YOUR OWN INTENSITY LEVEL GOES UP TO PUSH YOUR MUSCLES TO GET THAT EXTRA REP OR TWO. YOU HAVE LEARNED SOMETHING EVEN IF IT FEEL AT FIRST AS IF YOU HAD LOST SOMETHING. PAIN IS THE ROOT OF GROWTH AND KNOWLEDGE . IT'S A PART OF LIFE.

I HOPE ALL OF YOU HAVE ENJOYED THE LATEST ISSUE OF IRON MAN MAGAZINE JAN -2011. THANKS FOR YOUR YOUR LETTERS AND WARM REGARDS.
WHAT A WAY TO START THE NEW YEAR MAKING THE COVER AT 65 , ALL OF US RR.NET AND BODY AND ART APPRECIATE THEIR SUPPORT. OBSTACLES ARE THOSE FRIGHTFUL THINGS YOU SEE WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE GOAL.

Dear Mr. Robinson,
Sir I have been a fan of yours for many years. I have just read your resent interview with Iron Man magazine. I am probably another of the many people who will say that you're very inspirational. I felt your story was very interesting. It was a surprise to find out the many trials you went through to be the person you are. I remember when I first saw you was in the Pumping Iron movie, and the many articles on you along with your win at the Masters Olympia. I was shocked to find how the people behind that movie and the Weider company treated you the way they did. But I wanted to ask your opinion about the black champions they did pick. Do you think they were picked because they sold out? (I'm not being rude I want your honest opinion) But my main reason for writing you was when you mentioned in the interview about being yourself in bodybuilding. From this even though I'm 34 realize how important that is. For many years I ran with the fear of being wrong. But when you are after an idea you have set in your heart that is sometimes apart of the process of being right later. I just really needed to read that. I know that was simple. But seeing how being yourself worked for you, I should follow suite, but on my on terms. Keep doing what you do sir. You're doing a great job.
Hi Robby, I'm 61 years old. I have been bodybuilding and involved in physical fitness most of my adult life. As a young man, you were one of the reasons I began to getting int o shape and training. I looked at you and wanted my body to resemble yours. As i continued to follow your career. I was also impressed by your dedication and your honesty and the way you carried yoursef. A true honest man and bodybuilder. You were overlooked by the select people in charge of bodybuilding competitions and magazines. The true athlete's we were not fooled. you were one of the best if not the best!without all the big mouthed hype that other bodybuilders of your golden era displayed. Anyway.. at my age of 61 I still train 3-5 days per weak... I train with my son.... what a blessing. I am beginning to feel my age somewhat.... I wonder if I need to cut down my volume ... I do notice I do require more recovery time between training sessions. I still do enjoy training as much as ever.... my results are stagnated over the past several months. Well anyway I'm glad i found you web-site. The article on you in Iron man was very well done, I was able to learn some more about you. You came across as forthright and sincere, as I expected. Robby in the article you recommended some 7 foundation supplements? are there here on your site? what is your take on the amount of protein our bodies, at our age requires? Is "built on dvd? is it a training DVD showing you training?I may want to purchase that. That story about you telling that 13 year old kid ,about the Weider products.... was a testament to your honesty. I also agree that the bodybuilders of today are NOT what we want to look like. Your body, Frank Zane , Lee Labrada, were so aesthetically beautiful!. the guys today are too freaky.So in conclusion, although I'm an older athlete I still have that desire to be the best I can... I was thinking at first to perhaps have a phone consultation with you....... and learn from you, and then I can also pass it on to my son. I wish I lived closer. I live in South Florida. I would love to train with you in the Masters class. Hope I did not ramble on and on. Robby thanks for the memories and motivation. I wish a merry Christmas and blessed New year to you and your family. Tony Caminero
John,

DearRobby
I have been a long time reader of Iron Man. And, while I don't go back quite that far, I have every issue of Iron Man going back to 1945. You can see by that I have a great deal of interest in the history of the iron game. Therefore I am glad to see you are keeping it alive through the pages of Iron Man magazine, e.g., your recent interview with Robbie Robinson. Relative newcomers to the sport can benefit from knowing a little of what came before them. Those of us who have been around a while, I'm sure, appreciate being brought up to date with what is happening to the stars we used to read about on a regular basis. Please continue with these articles.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
Robert

Robby,
I was in chapters when I saw a familiar face on Iron Man's magazine cover. I bought it right away first time for that magazine, I was glad to see that you were doing well. In the seventies I was a great fan of yours. cheers
Mike Federico

Hi, Robby: You were right, I did enjoy the depth of meaning in your interview in Iron Man. Thank you for your open expression. I have a question about one small part of a photo of you in the mag: I'm always looking for full-finger gloves for my workouts, and I sometimes buy football gloves or batting gloves or Mechanix brand. I notice you're wearing gloves labeled "Firm Grip" in the photo. I found them at Home Depot. Since they're not expensive, I think they may be perfect for me. Question: Were you compensated for showing that brand of gloves in the photo, or was the magazine paid for the product placement? I'm 50 years old, and about the oldest guy at my gym. So, I especially like reading about the guys who keep on lifting for the long haul! Thanks again. Walt

Robby, Just read your article in Ironman, I'm totally mesmerized! Found your website, guess who's getting both videos for Christmas! Keep doing what you do, I've been a fan since the 70's! God bless, Joel

THE POWER OF NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS

MUSCLES ARE SEXY

THE POWER OF NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS

FOR YEARS, LIKE MANY BODYBUILDERS, GYM RATS AND MYSELF WERE SUSPICIOUS OF ANYTHING THAT WAS A SUPPLEMENT. IT WAS STEAK AND POTATO'S 3 TIMES A DAY, 2 TIMES A DAY 1/2 BAKED CHICKEN-STEAMED VEGGIES-SWEET-BROWN OR WHITE JASMINE RICE. I WAS SKEPTICAL OF ANYTHING IN A CAPSULE. POWDERS IN PLASTIC CONTAINER WERE NOT ON MY LIST OF ITEMS I WOULD CONSIDER TO CONSUME AS A FOOD SOURCE. WHOLE NATURAL ORGANIC FOODS WERE MY FUEL OF CHOICE. I HAD A GREAT EATING FOUNDATION EVER SINCE I WAS A KID. BUT AS ONE AGES THE BODY’S STRUCTURE STARTS TO ALTER ITSELF AND CELL REGENERATION SLOWS. I BECAME DETERMINED TO USE MY BODY AND MINDSET AS AN EXPERIMENTAL LANDMARK. POINT BLANK SUPPLEMENTS CAN PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN YOUR LONGEVITY, VIGOR AND YOUTHFUL APPEARANCE. AFTER WINNING THE MASTERS IN 94 AND THEN IN 2001 RETIRING FROM COMPETITIVE BODYBUILDING, THINGS TOOK A TURN. FINDING OUT FROM MY HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS THAT MY DNA LEVELS SUCH AS ZINC, AMINO ACIDS, MINERALS, ENZYMES WERE AT ALARMINGLY LOW LEVELS WAS MY WAKE UP CALL. THE HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS TOOK THE TIME TO BRING MY ATTENTION TO MY BLOOD WORK RESULTS. THEY ASKED ME TO START A SUPPLEMENTATION PROGRAM WHICH WOULD ENCOURAGE CELLS AND ALL MY BODY SYSTEMS TO REGENERATE THEMSELVES MORE . MY HIGH INTENSITY TRAINING HABITS WOULD BE THE FOUNDATION OF MY RECOVERY. IN ANOTHER 7 MONTHS I WILL BE 65 . I’M EXCITED ABOUT LIFE, CONSUMED BY THE FEELING THAT MY LIFE WOULD UNDERGO A CHANGE OF APPEARANCE BECAUSE I HAD UNDERGONE A CHANGE OF MINDSET BY STARTING A SUPPLEMENTATION PROGRAM . THEY WORK IN A HUGE HUGE WAY CELLULARLY. IN MY LIFE CYCLE ONE GREAT PIECE OF DISCOVERY IS THAT MAN CAN SIMPLY ALTER HIS LIFE BY ALTERING HIS ATTITUDE OF MIND . YOU CAN IMPROVE AND YOU CAN GET BETTER.
RR, PEACE

AGING

2010-12-17T07:12:00.000-08:00

AGING AGING AGING

I WAS AMAZED SEEING MY FIRST STRAINS OF GRAY HAIR AT 55 BUT ORGANIC HERBS AND SUPPLEMENTATION HAVE PLAYED A HUGE HAND IN REVERSING MY AGING. I ASKED MYSELF WHAT CAUSES AGING, CONSIDERED BY MANY TO BE THE UNCONTROLLABLE PASSAGE OF TIME. AGING CAN BE COUNTERED BY SYSTEMATIC INTAKE OF POWERFUL NUTRIENTS THROUGH SUPPLEMENTATION. FREE RADICAL DAMAGE AND STRESS CAUSE NORMAL ENZYMES, PROTEINS AND CELLS TO BECOME DESTROYED. TAKING THE TIME TO UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS CAN BE A BIG PAY OFF. YOU TO CAN PREVENT OR POSTPONE THE DISEASES THAT CRIPPLE AND KILL US BY STALLING AGE RELATED DISEASES. CHRONIC INFLAMMATION ALSO DOES INTERIOR DAMAGE TO BRAIN CELLS, ARTERIAL WALLS AND HEART VALVES. POINT BLANK THE BODY AIN'T GOING TO TAKE CARE OF ITSELF. THE FIRST STEP IS TO TAKE A BLOOD TEST THAT IDENTIFIES WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAVE ELEVATED MARKERS OF INFLAMMATION. EXERCISE HAS PLAYED A HUGE ROLL IN HELPING MY BRAIN AND MUSCLES FIGHT THE AGING PROCESS BY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF CAPILLARIES IN THE BRAIN ,WHICH IMPROVES BLOOD FLOW AND INCREASING MY ENERGY LEVEL. SO INVEST IN A GYM MEMBERSHIP, WORKOUT 3 TIMES A WEEK , GO FOR BRISK WALKS SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK, TAKE THE SUPPLEMENTS I TALK ABOUT ON THE BLOG. YOU CAN LIVE OUT YOUR LIFE IN A POWERFUL, HEALTHY BODY IF YOU ARE WILLING TO WORK HARD ENOUGH ON TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF. YOU CAN'T EXPECT OR WAIT FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO UNDO THE BAD EFFECTS OF AN UNHEALTHY LIFESTYLE. YOU HAVE TO CHALLENGE YOURSELF!
PEACE , ROBBY

IF YOU CAN BELIEVE IT YOU CAN CONCEIVE IT.

MARCO ''MR. PEAKS'' -BECAME WINNER OF THE FAME BODYBUILDING CHAMPIONSHIP IN LOS VEGAS IN NOVEMBER 2010. MARCO, YOUR HARD AND FOCUS PAID OFF! HIS VISIT TO MY MASTER CLASS HELPED PUT THE FINISHING TOUCHES ON A PRIZE WINNING PHYSIQUE. ALL OF US AT RR.NET /A NUTT FILM ARE PROUD OF YOU. IMAGINATION IS POWERFUL.

THIS BANDIT WAS CALLED ''THE RAGGED EDGE '' BACK IN THE DAY . LISTEN TO THE BODY'S WARNING SIGNALS REGARDING STATES OF UNDER-OR OVERTRAINING. THERE ARE THINGS I DO TO PLAY ALONG THE RAGGED EDGES TO AVOID FALLING OFF IT. NO BODYBUILDER IS IMMUNE TO OVERTRAINING. MORE THAN OFTEN THAN NOT, THE BODYBUILDER SUCCUMBS TO THE EFFECT OF OVER TRAINING BECAUSE OF THEIR POWERFUL WILL TO EXCEL. THIS BURNING DESIRE TO WIN, TO BE THE BEST, IS HEALTHY, BUT IT MUST BE WATCHED WITH WISDOM AND PATIENCE.
OVER TRAINING RESULTS FROM AN IMBALANCE BETWEEN THE AMOUNT OF STRESS APPLIED TO THE BODY(OR MIND), AND THE INDIVIDUAL’S ABILITY TO ADAPT TO IT.

BAD ATTITUDE
POOR DIET
FAMILY PROBLEMS
SEX PROBLEMS
TRAINING ROUTINE TO LONG
POOR SLEEP HABITS
LACK OF ENCOURAGEMENT
STRENUOUS JOB INTERFERING WITH WORKOUT

MAKE NO MISTAKE ! YOUR ATTITUDE CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUCCESS AND FAILURE

PEACE ROBBY

BLOG DIARY OF THE BLACK PRINCE

THE COUNTDOWN TO THE AFTERMATH DAVE AND I BOTH TOOK OUR TRAINING TO ANOTHER LEVEL 2010 . IT WAS FUN TO WORK SO CLOSE WITH ANOTHER PERSON EVEN THOUGH WE LIVE 3000 MILES APART. DAVID’S THE PERFECT TRAINING PARTNER BECAUSE HE DESIRES TO ACHIEVE EXCELLENCE IN A HEALTHY WAY. YOU CAN BE MOTIVATED BY SOMEONE ELSE’S SENSE OF VISION. DAVID'S ATTITUDE AND RESPECT FOR THE GAME IS CONTAGIOUS. YOU COULD FEEL HIS HUNGER FOR KNOWLEDGE AND HIS WILL TO OUT DO HIMSELF. LOOKING AT THE FIRST PHOTO OF DAVID ON MY BLOG, YOU ARE PROBABLY SAYING, YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. BUT AS THIS MOUND OF CLAY STARTS TO TAKE SHAPE YOU RAVE AT THE EFFORT AND HARD WORK THIS KNIGHT OF THE IRON-GAME PLACED UPON HIS SHOULDERS. NOTHING MAKES ME FEEL PROUDER THAN TO HAVE SOMEONE I WORKED WITH TAKE THEIR PHYSIQUE DEVELOPMENT TO ANOTHER LEVEL. FOR NINETY DAYS WE TALKED TWICE A WEEK, ATE THE SAME FOODS, FOLLOWED THE SAME SUPPLEMENT PROGRAMS, TACKLED THE SAME ROUTINES AND SHARED OUR UP AND DOWN DAYS TOGETHER. WHEN WE HIT THE SAME CROSSED ROADS WITH THE FOOD. ME WOULD MAKE CHANGES. BUT IN THE END WE BOTH ACHIEVED OUR GOALS OF A MORE MUSCULAR PHYSIQUE. WHEN I GET REQUESTS FROM CLIENTS WHO WANT TO TAKE THE 90 DAY CHALLENGE WHOM I KNOW ARE NOT IN THE SHAPE NEEDED TO MEET THE DEMANDS, I SUGGEST THEY START WITH MY ANABOLIC PROGRAM TO GET IN SHAPE. IF POSSIBLE EVEN A TRIP OUT TO VENICE FOR MY 4 DAY MASTER CLASS. DAVID IS A BODYBUILDER'S BODYBUILDER, LIKE MYSELF. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE ESPECIALLY IF I HAVE NOT HAD A GO AT THE CHALLENGE YET! THATS WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE GAME. WHAT MAKES BODYBUILDING SO SPECIAL IS THAT IT'S A 365 DAY A YEAR DARE AND RISK. THAT'S WHY I WANT TO CHALLENGE MY MINDSET BY PREPARING FOR THE WORLD MASTER 2011 IN MIAMI , FLA. DAVID INSPIRED ME WITH HIS SUCCESS. PLUS IT WILL BE FUN AND EXCITING. I’M ALREADY IN LEAN MUSCULAR SHAPE. MY GOAL IS TO BE IN COMPETITION SHAPE, DROP DEAD STUNNING, BIG, AND THICK. MY MINDSET IS TO BE A MUSCULAR ANATOMY CHART ONCE ON STAGE UNDER THE LIGHTS, WITH ALL OF TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA, INCLUDING MY FAMILY IN TOWN TO SEE THEIR HERO. YOU CAN’T IMAGINE THIS OTHER WORLDLY, ZONE MINDSET I’M IN AT THIS TIME WITH 13 MONTHS TO GO. MY GOAL IS TO BUILD MORE MUSCLE ON TOP OF THIS LEAN MUSCLE MACHINE .THE KNIGHT AND MYSELF ARE HEADING INTO A 6 MONTH TRAINING PLAN. WE WILL KEEP YOU IN THE LOOP AS WE PUSH TO THE OUTER-LIMITS. TURNING 65 THIS MAY, MY GOAL FOR THIS YEAR IS TO PUSH MY BODY TO ANOTHER LEVEL. AGE AIN'T GOT NOTHIN TO DO WITH IT! THIS 2011 WORLD MASTER EVENT IS MY STAGE AND SHOWCASE. AS CONTEST PROMOTOR JARKA SAID ABOUT MY APPEARANCE ON HER FACE BOOK WALL, “I’M THE TROPHY ON TOP OF THE CAKE.” HARD WORK PAYS OFF!
PEACE , ROBBY

THE POWER OF NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS

2010-10-26T09:49:00.000-07:00

WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, LIKE MANY BODYBUILDERS AND GYM RATS LIKE MYSELF WERE KIND OF SUSPICIOUS OF ANYTHING THAT WAS A VITAMIN SUPPLEMENT. I WAS SKEPTICAL OF ANYTHING IN CAPSULES, POWDERS IN CANS, PLASTIC CONTAINERS WAS NOT ON MY LIST OF ITEMS I WOULD CONSIDER TO CONSUME AS A FOOD SOURCE. WHOLE NATURAL ORGANIC FOODS WERE MY FUEL OF CHOICE. STEAK AND POTATO 3 TIMES A DAY, 2 TIMES A DAY 1/2 BAKED CHICKEN-STEAMED VEGGIES-SWEET-BROWN OR WHITE JASMINE RICE. AT LEAST I HAD A GREAT EATING FOUNDATION SET SINCE I WAS A KID.
STARTING IN THE LATE 70'S, MY LIMIT TO SUPPLEMENTS WAS TAKING AFTER EACH 5 MEALS- AMINO ACIDS ,VITAMIN- C, GLUTAMINE, GROUND FLAX SEEDS OR COD LIVER OIL .

BUT AS ONE AGES THE BODY’S STRUCTURE STARTS TO ALTER ITSELF IN SHAPE , CELLULAR AND GIRTH. I BECAME DETERMINED TO USE MY BODY AND MINDSET AS AN EXPERIMENTAL LANDMARK. POINT BLANK, SUPPLEMENTS CAN PLAY A MAJOR ROLE IN YOUR LONGEVITY, VIGOR AND YOUTHFUL APPEARANCE. AFTER WINNING THE MASTERS IN 94, AND THEN RETIRING IN 2001 FROM COMPETITIVE BODYBUILDING, THINGS TOOK A TURN. I TOLD BY MY HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS THAT MY DNA LEVELS SUCH AS ZINC, AMINO ACIDS, MINERALS, ENZYMES WERE AT ALARMINGLY LOW LEVELS. THE DR.AND NURSE TOOK THE TIME TO BRING MY ATTENTION TO MY BLOOD WORK RESULTS. THEY ASKED ME TO START A SUPPLEMENTATION PROGRAM WHICH WOULD ENCOURAGE CELLS AND ALL MY BODY SYSTEMS TOWARD REGENERATING THEMSELVES MORE AS WELL AS TO SUPPORT MY HIGH INTENSITY WEIGHT TRAINING HABITS. THIS PROGRAM WAS THE FOUNDATION OF MY RECOVERY TO WHERE I AM TODAY .

EVERY SET OF BARBELL CURLS BEGIN WITH ME PUTTING MY BODY INTO THE UPPER BACK ARCH POSITION, ARMS CLOSE TO THE SIDES, BOTH WRIST SLIGHTLY BROKEN TO PLACE ALL THE STRESS ON THE BICEPS. THATS HOW YOU BUILD HUGE BICEPS.

IN ANOTHER 7 MONTHS I WILL BE 65 . I’M EXCITED ABOUT LIFE, CONSUMED BY THE FEELING THAT MY LIFE/HEALTH WOULD UNDERGO A CHANGE OF APPEARANCE BECAUSE I HAD UNDERGONE A CHANGE OF MINDSET BY STARTING A SUPPLEMENTATION PROGRAM . THEY WORK IN A HUGE HUGE WAY AT THE CELLULAR LEVEL. IN MY LIFE CYCLE ONE GREAT PIECE OF DISCOVERY IS THAT MAN CAN SIMPLE ALTER HIS LIFE BY ALTERING HIS ATTITUDE OF MIND . IT'S A NATURAL HIGH TO FEEL HEALTHY AND YOUTHFUL.
RR, PEACE

DEVELOPING THE BACK MUSCLES TAKES FOCUS - IN MY MIND. ONCE I'M GOING INTO THE CONTRACTED POSITION, I SEE THE WHOLE SHAPE OF THE MUSCLE FROM BEGINNING TO THE END. MY ONLY THOUGHT IS HAVING THE BEST BACK ON STAGE. EACH AND EVERY REP PUTS ME CLOSER TO THAT VISION.

MUSCLE AND STRENGTH

2010-10-18T15:43:00.000-07:00

CONCENTRATION CURL OFF THE KNEE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE BICEP EXERCISES. IF YOU WANT GIANT PEAKS, PAUSE 2 SECOND AT THE TOP OF THE MOVEMENT, THEN WATCH THEM GROW. THIS ONE GAVE MY BICEP PEAKS THAT OTHER WORLDLY LOOK.

ROBBY ROBINSON --IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO BUILD BOTH MUSCLE AND STRENGTH. THE PROSPECT OF WEIGHT TRAINING/BODYBUILDING CAN BE INTIMIDATING. THE QUESTION I SEE IN TRAINEES EYES IS HOW MUCH WEIGHT SHOULD I LIFT ? AND WHAT MUSCLE GROUPS SHOULD BE WORKED TOGETHER? I AM WILLING TO HELP YOU SORT IT ALL OUT. YOU CAN E-MAIL ME AT INFO@ROBBY ROBINSON.NET.
I RESIDE IN MARINA DEL REY AND VENICE CA, HEART OF THE BODYBUILDING COMMUNITY. WHEN WE WORK TOGETHER, I OUTLINE A 90-DAY TRAINING PROGRAM THAT WORK ALL THE BODY’S MAJOR MUSCLE GROUPS, BUILDING MUSCLE STRENGTH, ENDURANCE AND THE CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM. THE OTHER 2 PARTS OF MY PLAN; EATING AND SUPPLEMENTATION, PUT THE FINISHING TOUCHES TO A MUSCULAR PHYSIQUE.

BEFORE JUMPING ON THE TREADMILL, EVERYTHING STARTS WITH A GREAT EATING PROGRAM. EVEN THOSE WHO DON’T WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT, WILL BENEFIT FROM MORE HEALTHY FOODS. THERE‘S LITTLE POINT IN BUILDING MUSCLE AND STRENGTH TRAINING IF YOU ARE GOING TO EAT ANYTHING YOU WANT. IF YOU ARE PUTTING ON SIZE, BUT YOU STILL HAVE ALL THIS FAT ON TOP OF THE MUSCLE, YOU WILL BE A BIG BULKY PERSON. THE MAGIC IN AUTHENTIC BODYBUILDING IN ACHIEVING A COLD BLOODED PHYSIQUES IS KEEPING YOUR BODY IN THE ANABOLIC MODE OF BUILDING MUSCLE AND BURNING FAT. BUT, I SEE SO MANY CLUELESS. THEY ARE AT THE DOOR, BUT LACK THE KNOWLEDGE ON HOW TO SHED THAT BLOATED LOOK. TRY INCORPORATING LEAN MEATS, CHICKEN, FISH AND TURKEY. WOMEN ESPECIALLY NEED TO TAKE IN ADEQUATE PROTEIN LIKE WHOLE GRAIN BREADS AND PASTA , BROWN RICE, NUTS, FRUITS AND VEGGIES. SLOWLY COME DOWN OFF SUGAR AND AVOID EMPTY CALORIES AND FRIED FOODS. DUMP THE WHITE BREAD. INSTEAD OF GOING COLD TURKEY, MAKE SMALL CHANGES, GET USE TO THEM, THEN MAKE MORE CHANGES. HEED TO A SLOW WEIGHT LOST FOR THE MUSCLE BUILDING PROCESS TO TAKE OVER.

YOU CAN ALSO ORDER ROBBY’S 2 DISK INSTRUCTIONAL DVD MASTER CLASS WHICH IS FULL OF ADVICE. FOR MOTIVATION TRY BUILT, THE FIRST BODYBUILDING DVD TO BECOME A WINNER OF A RIMI AT THE HOUSTON FILM FESTIVAL. MY BLOG; THE DIARY OF A BODYBUILDER IS ONE OF THE MOST VISITED BODYBUILDING BLOGS ON-LINE, ALWAYS GIVING INSIGHT.

WHAT’S IN ROBBY’S FRIDGE?

2010-10-03T18:41:00.000-07:00

DIARY OF THE BLACK PRINCE-

IF YOU THINK YOU CAN EAT ANYTHING YOU WANT WITHOUT A DOWN SIDE YOU MIGHT AS WELL NOT GO TO THE GYM. THIS BIG THICK MUSCULAR PHYSIQUE COMES FROM WHAT I EAT. CHECK OUT THE FRIDGE. ALL ORGANIC RICH NATURALLY WHOLESOME FOOD CHOICES .NOT THE FROZEN KIND IN WALL -MARTS, SMART AND FINAL OR THE 99% CENT STORE. NO DISRESPECT TO THOSE THAT HAVE TO GO THAT ROUTE. I FEEL HIGHER POWER BLESSED TO BE ABLE TO EAT AND HAVE SUCH A GREAT ARAY OF NATURAL FOOD CHOICES WHICH HELPS ME MAINTAIN SUCH AND INCREDIBLE BODY. WITHOUT IT MY PHYSIQUE WOULD BE 1/2 OF WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTOS ON MY BLOG. 3 DAYS A WEEK I BUY ALL MY FOODS FROM THE FARMERS MARKETS. THE PURENESS OF THE FOODS AND PLACE MAKES YOU FEEL BOTH MENTALLY PHYSICALLY POWERFUL AND THATS JUST FROM VIEWING AND THE SMELL OF FRESHNESS. MAKES ME TINGLE ALL OVER WITH RADIANCE AND EXCITEMENT. HEALTHY EATING IS WEALTH. IF SOMEONE TELL YOU THAT COMBINING THAT WITH SUPPLEMENTS FROM THE RR NATURAL ANABOLIC 7 PACK IN THE RIGHT DOSAGES TAKEN 45 MINUTES AFTER MEALS WOULDN’T PRODUCE A HEALTHY RADIANT MUSCULAR PHYSIQUE, I WOULD TELL THEM TO GO TAKE A HIKE AND KEEP GOING. I HAVE LIVED THE LIFE. THIS COMBINATION OF ORGANIC FOOD AND ORGANIZED SUPPLEMENTATION DOES WORK IN A VERY POWERFUL POTENT WAY. ALL THOSE MUSCLE SHOTS ON THE BLOGS COME FROM TIMED SUPPLEMENTATION PROTEIN DRINKS AND HIGH QUALITY MEALS 5 TO 6 TIMES A DAY. IF YOU ARE THE LAZY TYPE AND DON’T NOT TAKE CARE OF YOUR GIFT OF LIFE FORCE THE ONLY PERSON YOU CAN BLAME IS YOURSELF. IT ALL STARTS WITH MAKING CHANGES .THE ONLY LIMIT TO WHAT YOU CAN HAVE IS THE SIZE OF YOUR IMAGINATION AND YOUR COMMITMENT TO MAKE IT A REALITY. MY SUCCESS COMES FROM YEARS OF PRACTICING THE IMPORTANCE OF DESIRE , ENTHUSIASM ,OPTIMISM AND THE CONQUEST OF MY MINDSET SELF .

WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT COMES ABOUT. UTILIZE THE LAW OF ATTRACTION. HAVE A BURNING DESIRE, CELEBRATE AND APPRECIATE EVERY ACHIEVEMENT OF EVERY GOAL.

THE FOLLOWING COMMENTARY , BY DAVID JAFFARIAN,

Robby inspired me to take on the 90 day challenge. My goal was to come in for my heavy week at the Master Class in my best shape ever. I have no doubt that I met my goal.

For some background, my wife, Lorna and I attended a light week at the Master Class in the summer of 2009. After spending a week with Robby, I felt driven to take my physique to another level. Over the next 9 months, I was consistent with my training, eating and supplementation program. During this 9 month timeframe, I gained muscle and lost fat. I improved my physique a lot. However, I decided I wanted to push it to the next level. At this point, I contacted Robby about the 90 Day Countdown program. Robby told me point blank that since I had never put my body or mind through anything like this before so I would experience some discomfort. He explained that I would be tearing down my body in order to build it up to a new level. Robby also advised me that I would build more muscle and lose additional body fat. I was up for the challenge and started my 90 Day Countdown Plan on May 1, 2010.

Robby provided me with training, eating and supplementation plans during the 90 day process. I was amazed how I took my intensity in the gym to another level due to having this type of goal. I trained like an animal. If Robby said I needed to get 8 reps on a particular set of an exercise, I made sure I got it. I followed the eating and supplement plans exactly as outlined. I ate and supplemented on a timetable.

One huge key to keep yourself progressing is making adjustments in your eating and supplement plans. I was amazed how some simple adjustments to my plan kept me in a a fat burning/muscle building mode. One of the first adjustments we made was increasing my BCAA. I found that by increasing them my energy would increase plus my physique would get harder and more muscular. I learned that the BCAA help saturate your amino acid pool. About 4 weeks into the program, I thought I was going to gag on my egg whites. Keep in mind, I was eating 9 egg whites with my breakfast, 4 eggs whites with my portion of meat in my next 3 meals and 5 egg whites with my serving of meat with my last meal. That is a total of 26 egg whites per day for 4 weeks. When I told Robby how they were getting tough to get down, he laughed as he could relate to my experience as he experienced that too. Robby advised me my amino acid pool was saturated and my body is telling me it is time for a change. For the next few days, we added a couple of yolks to my breakfast and cut out the egg whites with my next 4 meals. We also increased my beef consumption from one meal per day to three meals per day. These simple changes helped my mind and body immensely plus I got the added benefit of seeing my body get harder and more muscular.

About 6 weeks into my plan, the framework of the diet changed again. I was eating a little less protein with slightly more carbs and fats. I continued to shed fat and water plus build muscle. After 8+ weeks of dieting I was finding it difficult to get down the Gerber Peas. That’s right, I was eating those little jars of baby food. I realized that I had eaten more than 200 jars of those peas over a two month period. My substitution for the baby food was Robby’s split green peas soup. Robby sent me his recipe and my wife cooked it to perfection. This soup is nourishing and tasty and was a welcomed change from the baby food. Once again my body and mind responded in a positive manner.

Another adjustment we made was adding fruit after nearly 8 weeks of dieting. It was about 9pm when Robby told me to eat a bowl of strawberries, pineapple and apples. We had no fruit in the house due to my diet, so I got in my car and went to the supermarket. I felt like I was in paradise when I sat down and ate my bowl of fruit. The next morning, my body looked more etched, hard and defined. I spoke with Robby the day after my first bowl of fruit and he could hear the increase in energy in my voice. I felt incredible.

Toward the end of the 90 days, I was telling Robby I had zero cravings and I thought that bodybuilders were suppose to have cravings for junk food when dieting. I mentioned that I wouldn’t mind having a couple of egg yolks. Robby told me to have them the next am with my breakfast. I can’t emphasis enough how these minor changes can have a huge impact on your body and mind. These little adjustments keep you in the fat burning and muscle building mode.

During the last few weeks of my program, my goal was to flush the water out of my body and put in back in the muscle. One thing we did to accomplish this was to eat 1/2 a cantaloupe instead of oats with my breakfast and eat the other 1/2 prior to noon on my non-training days We also started to manipulate my intake of sea salt, potassium and water/distilled water.

I was amazed how these manipulations radically changed my physique. I arrived at the Master Class on July 24, 2010 in great shape. Robby and I had some great workouts that I will never forget. There is nothing like bombing and blitzing with Robby. I knew I was in great shape as my wife told me I looked great and she is not one to blow smoke. I also need to point out how supportive and helpful Lorna was during the process. There were moments when I felt like dog doo. This program takes a strong mindset and a lot of discipline. Keep in mind that I was also working a 9 to 5 job during the 90 day count down challenge. After completing this program, I feel like there is nothing I can’t do in any area of my life. My mindset is stronger and I’m focused to put on more muscle. My physique continues to improve since returning from the Master Class over a month ago. I am more muscular and I continue to fill out in the right places. Robby assured me how I won’t lose what I gained and how I’ll continue to improve.

The program was rewarding and a lot of fun. Robby is an incredible teacher for whom I have the upmost respect for. During the entire process his support was off the charts. We communicated multiple times per week by phone and e-mail. The motivational messages on my voicemail were a huge help. I listened to these messages so many times that they became a part of my subconscious. I’m excited about what the next year will bring. As Robby says, you can always get better.

90 DAY COUNTDOWN THE JOURNEY

2010-08-30T18:01:00.000-07:00

MUSCLE ON TOP OF MUSCLE. 64 AND COUNTING. 90 DAYS CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
RIPPED AND MUSCULAR. AGE AIN'T GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. IT COMES DOWN TO HARD WORK BECAUSE THAT IS THE KEY TO GETTING TO THE NEXT LEVEL. CAN YOU HANDLE THE PRESSURE ?
DR.STAN HOLDING COURT AT THE VENICE MARKET. DAVID AND ROBBY TAKING IT ALL IN .WAIT TILL YOU SEE THE PHOTOS OF DAVID JAFFARIAN. THEY ARE MIND BLOWING.

STILL MODERN TODAY. YOU DON'T NEED EYES TO HAVE VISION. YOU NEED TO SEE INSIDE YOUR MIND TO SEE THE IMPOSSIBLE.

20 INCH ARMS. IF YOU WOULD HAVE TOLD ME THAT I WOULD STILL BE MEASURING UP THAT NUMBER, I WOULD HAVE SAID NO WAY. BUT MY HARD WORK AND FOCUS CONTINUES TO PAY OFF.

DIARY OF A BODYBUILDER
WHEN I WAS A KID I ALWAYS HAD SO MUCH ENERGY. I WAS ALWAYS DOING SOMETHING PUSH -UPS, CHINS, HANGING LEG RAISES AND JUMPING JACK UNTIL I WAS STANDING IN MY OWN PERSPIRATION. TO THIS DAY THAT ENERGY IS STILL ALIVE. THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS WE FEEL TO BE BEAUTIFUL AND GOOD , AND WE MUST HUNGER FOR THEM. WINNING THE FIRST MASTER OLYMPIA TITLE IN 1994 WAS ONE OF THOSE CASES. DAVID JAFFARIAN AND I WENT UNDERGROUND FOR 3 MONTHS OF INTENSE WORKOUTS , TIMETABLE EATING AND USING A REGIME OF JARROW FORMULA SUPPLEMENTS. THE ONE THING YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND IS THIS TYPE OF WORKLOAD IS NOT FOR THE WEAK OF MIND OR THE COMPLAINER. WHEN THINGS GET TOUGH AND YOU ARE PURSUING YOUR GOAL OF A MORE MUSCULAR PHYSIQUE. VISION DOESN’T DEPEND ON OUR EYES. VISION IS THE ART OF SEEING THINGS INVISIBLE. FOCUS! YOU CAN’T DEPEND ON YOUR EYES WHEN YOUR IMAGINATION IS OUT OF FOCUS. IN EACH REP OF EACH SET YOU MUST VISUALIZE BEFORE YOU CAN ACT OR CREATE THE PHYSIQUE YOU ENVISION IN YOUR MINDSET. I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A BAD WORKOUT DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. YOU HAVE TO PRACTICE CERTAIN PRINCIPLES THAT I HAVE FOLLOWED FOR MY 27 YEARS AS A COMPETITIVE BODYBUILDER. YOU CAN VIRTUALLY INFLUENCE YOUR LIFE FROM WITHIN BY AUTO- SUGGESTIONS. FIRST THING IN THE MORNING AND THE LAST THING EACH NIGHT, SUGGEST TO YOURSELF SPECIFIC IDEAS THAT YOU WISH TO EMBODY IN YOUR CHARACTER AND PERSONALITY - IT TAKES PRACTICE. ADDRESS YOUR SUGGESTIONS TO YOURSELF, SILENTLY OR ALOUD, UNTIL THEY ARE DEEPLY IMPRESSED UPON YOUR MIND. THE ONLY LIMIT TO WHAT I CAN HAVE AND ACHIEVE IN THIS LIFE TIME IS THE SIZE OF MY IMAGINATION AND COMMITMENT TO MAKING IT A REALITY. DURING THOSE HVY AND LIGHT DAY TRAINING SESSIONS WE TOOK NO PRISONERS. MY WEIGHT POUNDAGE WENT TO THE MOON . REPS WENT UP . EVEN THE HVY STUFF BECAME LIGHT. MY BODY AND MIND BECAME A WEAPON. I FELT INVINCIBLE. I BECAME MORE MUSCULAR BY JUST CHANGING MY EATING HABITS AND KEEPING ALL- MEALS ON TIME ALONG WITH SUPPLEMENTATION. KEEPING THIS 65 YEAR OLD BODY BIG, THICK AND MUSCULAR WITH NO SKIN ON TOP OF THEM. MY GOAL IS ALWAYS TO WANT TO LOOK LIKE SOMETHING FROM ANOTHER PLANET. YOU HAVE TO DEVELOP THAT MINDSET OF SELF MASTERING IF YOU WANT TO TAKE HOME THE CHAMPIONSHIP TROPHY . POINT BLANK THOSE WHO GET TO THE TOP ARE THOSE WHO DID THE JOBS THEY HAD IN HAND, WITH EVERYTHING THEY HAD OF ENERGY, ENTHUSIASM AND HARD WORK . YOUR FAITH AND BELIEF CREATE YOUR REALITY. AS IS YOUR CONFIDENCE, SO IS YOUR CAPACITY TO ACHIEVE YOUR VISION.

PEACE , ROBBY

OVER A WEEK I COLLECT NEWS PAPERS SUCH AS THE NY TIMES, US TODAY, AND THE LA TIMES SIT BACK AND READ EACH ONE WHILE SIPPING ON A CUP OF CHAMOMILE TEA RELAXING. RECENTLY I WAS SENT SOME PHOTO’S OF TWO LOVERS HAVING TAKEN THE TIME TO PUT SOME OF THAT FUN THING ON THEIR MENU. FRANK AND ERICA JAMES AT THE ORANGE COUNTY FAIR. YOU CAN SEE IN THE MANNERISM OF 2 SOULS WHEN THEY REALLY GOT THEIR HEARTS INTO HAVING A GREAT TIME TOGETHER AND ENJOYING EACH OTHER'S COMPANY. ERICA /FRANK THANKS FOR THE REMINDER OF HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO RELAX ! AND GIVE YOUR MIND/ BODY SOME DOWN -TIME TO REGENERATE AND HEAL.

DIARY OF A BODYBUILDER
MANY OF MY FANS SEND E-MAILS AND LETTERS ASKING ME WHAT MOTIVATES AND DRIVES ME TO CONTINUE TO BANG THE IRON WEEK IN AND WEEK OUT YEAR IN YEAR OUT, EVEN THOUGH I WILL NEVER COMPETE AGAIN. MY JOURNEY WILL NEVER END. YOU HAVE TO HAVE A GENUINE LOVE FOR THE ART OF BODYBUILDING TO STICK WITH IT. TO OTHERS IT GIVES YOU NOTHING BACK. I HAVE EVEN HEARD OTHERS SAY IT’S TORTURE. THERE IS NO MANUSCRIPT TO STORE AWAY , NO PAINTINGS YOU CAN PLACE ON YOUR WALLS OR IN MUSEUMS, NO POEMS ABOUT YOU TO BE PRINTED OR SOLD. THERE'S NOTHING BUT THAT SINGLE FLEETING MOMENT THE ANNOUNCER CALLS YOUR NAME AND YOU GO TO CENTER STAGE, AND HIT THAT SERIES OF MAGICAL POSES THAT BRING THE FANS IN ATTENDANCE TO A ORGASMIC- HIGH. THERE'S A DEEP ROAR FOR THE DISPLAY OF BEAUTIFUL MUSCLES WITH SHAPE, DEEP SEPARATION, SKIN TONE, DEVELOPMENT OF ALL THE SMALL SURROUNDING MUSCLES ALONG WITH SIZE. HARDCORE BODYBUILDING IS NOT FOR THE UNSTEADY SOUL.

HOW WE REACT TO EVENTS IS VERY IMPORTANT. THE GREAT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ONE PERSON AN ANOTHER IS HOW HE TAKES HOLD AND USES HIS CHANCES, AND HOW HE TAKES HIS FAILURE IF IT SCORED AGAINST HIM . FORTUNE DOES NOT CHANGE MEN ; IT UNMASKS THEM. EACH TIME I GO INTO THE GYM, MY WORKSPACE, I BECOME A GLADIATOR , IN A BATTLE, ME AGAINST THE IRON . BE IT BARBELL, DUMBBELL OR CABLES, MY GOAL IS TO WIN EACH AND EVERY SET. LIFE IS A GRINDING STONE , AND WHETHER IT GRINDS A MAN DOWN OR POLISH HIM UP DEPENDS ON THE STUFF HE’S MADE OF. DIFFICULTIES OF LIFE ARE INTENDED TO MAKE US BETTER. LIVING IS DETERMINED NOT SO MUCH BY WHAT LIFE BRINGS TO ME. BUT WHAT I BRING TO LIFE. 64 YEARS? EXPERIENCE IS NOT WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU; IT IS WHAT YOU DO WITH WHAT HAPPENS TO YOU. HAPPINESS DOES NOT DEPEND ON OUTWARD THINGS, BUT ON THE WAY WE SEE THEM . STRUGGLES DEVELOPS STRENGTH . WHEN I WAS A CHILD GROWING UP EVERY FAILURE MADE ME MORE CONFIDENT. BECAUSE I WANTED EVEN MORE TO ACHIEVE THINGS, AS A REVENGE TO SHOW THEM THAT I COULD. LOVED EVERY MOMENT OF THE LIFE SELF-CHALLENGES ENHANCED BY ADVERSITY.
PEACE , ROBBY

MAKING DREAMS COME TRUE

2010-06-30T19:03:00.000-07:00

POSING PLAYS A HUGE ROLE, IF YOU WANT THAT DEEP MUSCLE SEPARATION THAT THE OTHER COMPETITORS LACK. I HIT 20 DOUBLE BICEPS HOLDING EACH POSE FOR 20 SECONDS. THE MUSCLE BURN IS DEEP AND SIZZLING- TAKES YOUR BREATHE AWAY.

D. JAFFARIAN , BODY & ART - A NUTT FILM, JARROW PRODUCTS , ON TIME MEALS, TIME CLOCK TRAINING SESSIONS, 15 MINUTES OF AEROBICS 3 TIMES A WEEK ARE WHAT PUSHED ME INTO MASTER COMPETITIVE SHAPE .

CHECKING OUT THE MUSCULARITY AND SEPARATION . I WILL DO A LOT OF POSING THE NEXT 4 WEEKS TO HELP INCREASE MUSCLE HARDNESS, DENSITY , DEEP MUSCLE SEPARATION AND TONE.

MUSCULARITY FROM ANOTHER ANGLE - A HUMAN ANATOMY CHART. I TOOK SYSTEMATIC DOSAGES OF RR-NATURAL ANABOLIC PACK BY JARROW FORMULA PRODUCTS: GULTAMINE, CREATINE, BCCAS , B-RIGHT , CALCIUM ,MINERALS , VIT-C , FLAX SEED OIL, LECITHIN AND GLYCEMIC BALANCE FRENCH VANILLA PROTEIN. MY PHYSIQUE IS PROOF OF THEIR SUPERIOR QUALITY. HARD WORK PAYS OFF.

ARNOLD HAD ONE OF THE BEST SIDE CHEST POSES IN THE BUSINESS. I WAS THERE TO SEE THE EFFORT. IT INSPIRED ME TO CHALLENGE MYSELF TO DO A BETTER JOB. NOTHING LIKE A HIGH DEEP CHEST RIBCAGE INCLUDED. WITH A DEEP SPLIT RUNNING RIGHT ACROSS THE MIDDLE SEPARATING THE UPPER PECKS FROM THE LOWER.

4 WEEKS TO GO TO THE FINISH LINE. DAVID AND I WILL HAVE A WHOLE BUNCH OF PHOTOS TO SHARE FROM OUR 90 DAY REGIME .

PEAKS AND MORE PEAKS. NOTHING BEATS THE SCOTT BENCH CURL FOR HEIGHT. ONE OF MY FAVORITE EXERCISES.I USE EITHER A E-Z BAR ARE STRAIGHT BAR FOR BICEPS.

DEEP RIPPED, ABS AND EXTERNAL INTERCOSTAL ARE ACHIEVED THROUGH HANGING LEGS RAISES ,AND TWIST WITH A BROOM HANDLE
IMAGINATION! IMAGINATION !VISUALIZE !VISUALIZATION . FOCUS ON WHAT YOU DESIRE TO ACHIEVE . YOU CAN ALTER YOUR LIFE BY SIMPLE ALTERING YOUR ATTITUDE.

DIARY OF THE BLACK PRINCE
TO BRING ONESELF TO A FRAME OF MINDSET AND TO THE PROPER ENERGY TO ACCOMPLISH THINGS- THAT REQUIRES PLAIN HARD WORK CONTINUOUSLY. OPTIMISM IS ESSENTIAL TO ACHIEVEMENT AND IT IS THE FOUNDATION OF COURAGE AND PROGRESS. NO MAN WILL SUCCEED UNLESS HE IS READY TO FACE AND OVERCOME DIFFICULTIES AND PREPARE TO ASSUME RESPONSIBILITIES. HALF EFFORT DON’T PRODUCE HALF RESULTS, WORK CONTINUES WORK AND HARD WORK , IS THE ONLY WAY TO ACCOMPLISH RESULTS THAT LAST .

VERGE OF A DREAM

2010-06-27T15:24:00.000-07:00

DIARY OF THE BLACK PRINCE

WHEN I STARTED MY ONLINE BUSINESS ENTERPRISE I HAD A CLEAR VISION OF WHAT I WANTED AND COULD SEE ALL THE PARTS CRYSTAL CLEAR. WHAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE IS THE UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT IT TAKES TO GET THERE . THERE HAVE TO BE COMMITMENT TO YOUR BELIEF TO BECOME A CHAMPION. I THINK WHEN YOU HAVE THAT BELIEF THATS PROBABLY WHAT’S GOING TO HAPPEN. YOU HAVE TO SET AN EXAMPLE , IT DOES NOT MATTER WHERE YOU’RE FROM OR WHAT COLOR . JUST KEEP THE FOCUS AND HARD WORK. YOU CAN ACHIEVE ANYTHING. YOU HAVE TO ALWAYS PUT YOURSELF IN PLACES OF HIGH RISK IN TERM OF YOU REALLY CAN’T AFFORD TO FAIL . THAT’S HOW YOU GET TO WHERE YOU WANT TO BE . WHAT I IMPART ON OTHERS ----IF YOU WANT IT AND YOU WANT IT AT THE LEVEL YOU’RE ‘’DREAMING IT , YOU HAVE TO HAVE TO BE THE ONE TO ENVISION WHAT THAT BEYOND IS. YOU HAVE TO THRIVE AND BE FOCUSED- EVEN A 64 I LIKE TO SET HIGH STANDARDS FOR MYSELF.

ARNOLD, FRANCO, WALLER, GABLE, COURNEY, CALLARD, PADILLA AND GRANT, TO NAME JUST A FEW HAD THEIR HANDS ON THESE HANDLES . A BIG PIECE OF HISTORY. JUNE, 2010

THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN AFTER SHOULDERS AND ARMS JUNE 19TH, 2010. LEAN AND RIPPED 203 LBS OF SOLID QUALITY MUSCLE. BELIEVE YOU CAN ACHIEVE IT, EXPECT TO GET IT , YOU WILL SUCCEED.

BEING CONSIDERED A LEGEND IS SOMETHING THAT I HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN PRIDE IN, AND IT IS MY GOAL TO INSPIRE TO ALL THAT AGE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MAINTAINING A MUSCULAR PHYSIQUE. CLEAR FOCUS, UNSTOPPABLE DRIVE AND FEARLESSNESS TAKES YOU TO THE NEXT LEVEL, ONCE YOU MAKE -UP YOUR MIND.

I’VE ALWAYS THOUGHT BEING HEALTHY AND PHYSICALLY FIT WAS KING, AND THAT THERE IS NO FEELING IN THE WORLD THAT DESCRIBES IT BETTER THAN THE FEELING OF JOY AND RADIANT WARMTH ALL OVER. BODYBUILDING DESERVES A POSITIVE COMMUNITY AND I HOPE THAT I CAN HELP BY BEING A PART OF IT. HAVE A GREAT DAY

WHAT ARE SUPPLEMENTS AND HOW THEY WORK

2010-06-04T15:55:00.000-07:00

WITHOUT SUPPLEMENTS TAKEN ON A REGULAR BASES THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD HAVE THE BICEP PEAK DEVELOPMENT, HARDNESS AND STRENGTH YOU SEE HERE.

THE FAMOUS WEIDER BUST POSE ON DISPLAY HERE IN THIS RECENT PHOTO TAKEN AT A PHOTO SHOOT FOR IRON-MAN MAGAZINE - THICK AND MUSCULAR. I OWE IT TO SUPPLEMENTATION.

DIARY OF THE BLACK PRINCE-

BEING A HUGE FAN OF BEING HEALTHY AND STRONG, I CAN SIT AND TALK FOR HOURS ON THE SUBJECT. I'VE BEEN WRITING THE MASTER CLASS BOOK - GIVING YOU A DEEP VISIT INTO MY MINDSET AND WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A SUCCESSFUL BODYBUILDING CHAMPION AND HEALTHY AND FIT ATHLETE. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MAKE SUPPLEMENTS A PART OF YOUR REGIME. THE MASTER CLASS GUIDE WILL CONSIST OF MAYBE 150- PGS . HOW YOU TAKE SUPPLEMENTS AND PROTEIN DRINKS IS VERY IMPORTANT. THE IMPORTANCE OF HAVING A BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF JUST EXACTLY WHAT A SUPPLEMENT IS AND THE PRIMARY MECHANISM. BY WHICH THEY WORK. MOST OF YOU USE THE WORD
AS YOU AGE YOUR ON BODIES SYSTEMS START TO AGE WITHOUT THE PROPER SATURATION OF SUPPLEMENTS DECLINE TAKES OVER. ALSO ANYONE PURSUING THE CHAMPIONSHIP OR MERELY HEALTH AND FITNESS, IF YOU’RE DEFICIENT IN ONE OR MORE NUTRIENTS , IT’S QUITE POSSIBLE YOUR BODY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BUILD MUSCLE AND BURN FAT PROPERLY AND SUPPORT YOUTHFUL LIFE. SUPPLEMENTS ARE SYNTHETICALLY MANUFACTURED PRO-HORMONES THAT EXERT DRUG LIKE EFFECTS ON THE BODY. FIRST SUPPLEMENTS WILL HELP YOU BUILD MUSCLE, LOSE FAT, AND GREATLY IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH. I'VE BEEN SUCCESSFUL AT ENGINEERING A SYSTEM OF NATURAL FOODS AND SUPPLEMENTATION THAT HAS HAD A POSITIVE EFFECT ON MY BODY’S MUSCULARITY AND STRENGTH AT 64 YEARS OF AGE. I FEEL INVINCIBLE, FROM ANOTHER PLANT. MY SUPPLEMENT REGIME SIMPLY MAKES - UP FOR MY DEFICIENCIES. STRAIGHT -UP DOCTORS, NUTRITIONISTS, AND DIETITIANS VIEW SUPPLEMENTS AS -A MEANS OF PROTECTING ONES BODY AGAINST VITAMIN AND MINERAL DEFICIENCIES. VITAMINS SUPPLEMENTS HAVE BEEN USED FOR DECADES AS A MEANS OF PREVENTING SERIOUS, EVEN FATAL DISEASES WHICH CAUSE BY NUTRIENTS DEFICIENCIES. MY GOAL THIS YEAR WAS TO BRING TO MY CLIENTS A MORE MUSCULAR PHYSIQUE AND AN INSPIRATION TO ALL. MY SOLD-OUT MASTER CLASS THIS SUMMER WITH CLIENTS WHO ARE ALSO HAVING DVDS MADE OF THEIR TRIP .
BODYBUILDERS AND ATHLETES WHO EXERCISE MORE INTENSELY HAVE A GREATER DEMAND FOR A NUMBER OF NUTRIENTS AND WILL MORE THAN LIKELY SUFFER DEFICIENCIES WITHOUT SUPPLEMENTATION. WITHOUT THEM IN MY EATING AND TRAINING REGIMES MY STRENGTH AND ENERGY WORKLOAD WOULD NOT BE WHERE THEY ARE IN 2010. THESE SUPPLEMENTS ARE A PART OF THE RR NATURAL ANABOLIC 7 PACK THAT INCLUDES SUPPLEMENTS LIKE VIT C, B-COMPLEX , CALCIUM. I SUPPLEMENT MY DIET IN-BETWEEN MEALS WITH AN EXTRA DOSE OF CREATINE AND GLUTAMINE. THIS HAS ENHANCED MY GYM EXERCISE PERFORMANCE , IMPROVED MY RECOVERY AND PROMOTED BIG MUSCLE GAINS IN MY LEAN BODY MASS .’’ SO EVEN IF YOU DON’T HAVE A DEFICIENCY , IT IS ABSOLUTELY ,POSITIVELY POSSIBLE TO BENEFIT FROM USING A REGIME OF SUPPLEMENTS THAT PROVIDES OPTIMAL LEVELS FOR CELLS TO UP-REGULATE THEIR NATURAL FUNCTION. I’M CONVINCED THE REGIME OF SUPPLEMENTS TAKEN FROM JARROW FORMULAS - RR NATURAL ANABOLIC 7 PACK AND LONGEVITY PAK HAVE WORKED TO PRODUCE A DRUG LIKE EFFECT ON MY CELLULAR PROCESS, MUSCLE METABOLISM AND WORKOUT PERFORMANCE. THESE PHOTOS SHOULD CONVINCE YOU THAT AT 64 YEARS OF AGE SUPPLEMENTS ARE THE KEYS TO MY LONGEVITY AND YOUTHFUL APPEARANCE AND RADIANCE.

FATS THAT MAKES MUSCLE PART 4 OF A 4 PART SERIES

2010-05-23T17:53:00.000-07:00

THE GRAND MASTER- ROBBY ROBINSON - THE FIRST MASTERS OLYMPIA WINNER. ROBBY ROBINSON TOOK IT ALL AT THE FIRST MASTERS MR.OLYMPIA. HIS PHYSIQUE WAS IN HIS ALL- TIME BEST SHAPE EVER. ( IRON MAN MAGAZINE)

DIARY OF THE BLACK PRINCE - 4 th. PART OF SERIES.

IF YOU DON’T FEED THE BODY RIGHT, NO MATTER HOW HARD YOU WORK OUT, YOU’RE NEVER GONNA LOOK YOUR BEST.’’
FAT WAS A BAD WORD IN THE OLD DAYS AND STILL SOMEWHAT TODAY. YOU WERE A SERIOUS BODYBUILDERS AND FITNESS BUFFS, WHEN YOU HAD ACHIEVED THE ABILITY TO COMPLETELY ELIMINATE FAT FROM YOUR DIET “CUT THE FAT , AND YOU’LL LOSE THE FAT AND FAT MAKES YOU FAT” WERE THE MOTTOS. I ALWAYS LAUGHED. WELL INTO MY 20'S, I WAS EATING NECK BONES AND RICE, COLLARD GREENS AND CORN BREAD, AND PLEASE PASS ME A THICK PIECE OF THAT ALLIGATOR TAIL .
BUT GUESS WHAT? CUT THE FAT AND YOU FEEL LIKE CRAP. WHEN YOU SLASH THE FAT OUT OF YOUR EATING PLAN (DIET), IT BECOMES MORE DIFFICULT TO LOSE FAT, TESTOSTERONE LEVELS DROP, INSULIN FUNCTION GOES WACKY, FORGET ABOUT MUSCLE GROWTH AND LOSS OF ENERGY.
THE BAD RAP FATS GET IN THE MEDIA CAUSES MOST OF US TO THROW FAT ON THE TRAIN TRACK. TO SAY ALL FAT IS BAD AND NOT SUPPLY ADEQUATE AMOUNTS OF GOOD FATS IS WRONG. IN REALITY, SOME FATS ARE ESSENTIAL TO LIFE ITSELF, NOT TO MENTION OPTIMAL MUSCLE AND FAT METABOLISM. BUT SATURATED FATS ARE BAD ONES. THEY PLAY NO IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE BODY EXCEPT TO BE BURNED AS ENERGY. QUITE SIMPLY YOU DON’T NEED SATURATED. BUT THE TYPICAL AMERICAN DIET IS RICH IN SATURATED FATS - BUTTER, CHEESE, BEEF, ETC. SATURATED FATS ARE SOLID AT ROOM TEMPERATURE. LIKE CRISCO AND ITS THE CURD THAT CAN LEAD TO A NUMBER OF HEART DISEASES, INSULIN RESISTANCE AND EVEN A GREATER LIKELY HOOD OF GAINING BODY-FAT, EVEN IF YOUR TOTAL CALORIES ARE THE SAME AS SOMEONE ON A LOW -SATURATED FAT DIET. WORK TOWARDS CONSUMING AS LITTLE S/FAT AS POSSIBLE .
SIMPLE UNSATURATED FATS ARE USUALLY LIQUID AT ROOM TEMPERATURE- THESE ARE THE HEALTHY FATS. I TAKE 1 TEASPOON OF THESE OILS AFTER EACH 4 TO 5 MEAL EATING PLAN( DIET ). THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF UNSATURATED FATS ARE CONSIDERED ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS OR EFA’S. THESE ARE THE ONES THAT CANNOT BE MADE BY THE BODY AND ARE NECESSARY FOR THOUSANDS OF BIO-CHEMICAL REACTION TO TAKE PLACE IN YOUR BODY. THESE FATTY ACIDS ARE CALLED LINOLEIC/ LINOLENIC ACID, SOMETIMES CALLED OMEGA -6 FATTY ACID OR OMEGA -3 FOR ESTABLISHING THE IDEAL METABOLISM. THE UNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS I USE TO KEEP STRONG AND MUSCULAR; FLAX SEED OIL OMEGA 6/ 3, ESSENTIAL BALANCE OIL , UDO OIL AND COD LIVER OIL.
EFA’S ARE HORMONE LIKE SUBSTANCES. THEY HAVE PLAYED A ROLE IN ESTABLISHING FOR ME PROPER REGULATION OF BLOOD PRESSURE, HEART FUNCTION, INFLAMMATION OF JOINT/ CONNECTIVE TISSUE, AND NERVE TRANSMISSION. I'M ACHIEVING BETTER PUMPS DURING MY WORKOUTS .
NOTHING MAXIMIZE TESTOSTERONE HORMONE PRODUCTION LIKE UNSATURATED FATTY-ACIDS.

DISCIPLINE OF THE MIND AND POWER OF THE BODY.
INTENSE DESIRE CREATES OPPORTUNITY. FOCUS.

LOVE MY COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES -PART 3

2010-05-06T19:01:00.000-07:00

DIARY OF THE BLACK PRINCE

CARBOHYDRATES PROVIDE A PROTEIN SPARING EFFECT. PROTEIN SERVES A VITAL ROLE IN THE MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND GROWTH OF BODY TISSUES. WHEN CARBS RESERVES ARE REDUCED, THE BODY CONVERTS PROTEIN INTO GLUCOSE FOR ENERGY. CARBOHYDRATES ARE VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE IF YOUR BODY DON’T GET ENOUGH, IT HAS TO METABOLIZE MORE PROTEIN STORES; IN OTHER WORDS MUSCLE DEPLETED! EATING TOO FEW CARBS CAN LEAVE YOUR MUSCLES FEELING AND LOOKING FLAT. MUSCLE FULLNESS DEPENDS TO A LARGE EXTENT ON THE GLYCOGEN STORES WITHIN THEM. VASCULARITY ALSO DEPENDS ON CARBOHYDRATE INTAKE. HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED WHEN YOU GO ON A DIET YOUR VEINS DISAPPEAR BETWEEN MEALS AND THEY RETURN SHORTLY AFTER YOU EAT?
BEING A COMPETITIVE BODYBUILDER I HAVE ALWAYS USED A MIXTURE OF SIMPLE AND COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATES A COUPLE DAYS BEFORE THE SHOW TO SATURATE THE MUSCLE TISSUE WITH WATER AND ENERGY FUEL THAT WILL GIVE YOU MUSCLE FULLNESS. WHEN YOU GO ON A LOW CARB DIET YOU DROP A LOT OF WATER WEIGHT, EVERY GRAM OF CARBOHYDRATE THAT GETS STORED IN THE MUSCLE TISSUE - ABOUT 3 GRAMS USUALLY ACCOMPANY IT. WHENEVER YOU DECREASE YOUR CARB INTAKE , AS WE ALL KNOW YOU DROP BODY WATER. THIS MIGHT SOUND LIKE A GOOD IDEA BUT THERE IS A REBOUND EFFECT- YOU RETAIN EXCESS WATER . THE WATER RETENTION WILL DISSIPATE AFTER SEVERAL DAYS IF YOU HAVE YOUR TIMING DOWN. THE TRICK I USE IS TAKE IN SIMPLE CARBS AND POSE BY GOING THROUGH THE 7 MANDATORY POSES UNTIL I BREAK A SWEAT.
KEEP THIS IN MIND, IF CARBS ARE LOW, SO IS YOUR ENERGY - AND ONE COMMON COMPLAINT FROM THOSE WHOM FEEL OVER-TRAINED IS LESS ENERGY AND LOSS OF MUSCLE FULLNESS. THINK ABOUT IT.
PEACE , ROBBY

MY PROTEIN INTAKE IS 400 GRMS A DAY PART 2

2010-04-29T18:10:00.000-07:00

WHEN I'M LOOKING TO PUT ON MASS AND THICKNESS I INCLUDE MORE BEEF, DARK TURKEY AND CHICKEN LEG MEAT, LIKE THESE 2- ROAST TURKEY DRUMSTICKS
COVERED WITH ORGANIC VEGETABLES WHICH CONSIST OF BROCCOLI SPEARS, FRESH SLICED TOMATOES, ASPARAGUS SPEARS, CELERY CUBES, YELLOW SQUASH, YUKON GOLD POTATOES, AND STRING BEAN SLICES, 2 TABLES SPOONS OF UNFILTERED OLIVE-OIL, 1/2 CUP OF WATER. COOK AT 375 FOR 1 HR. START WITH A PREHEATED OVEN SET ON BAKE AT 400. MY SEASONING OF SEA SALT, SPIKE, GARLIC, SAUTED ONION MIX IS POURED OVER CONTENTS AFTER THE FIRST 30 MINUTES OF COOKING .YUMMY !YUMMY.

DIARY OF THE BLACK PRINCE
ONE DIETARY FACTOR WHICH COULD CAUSE YOU TO BECOME SUSCEPTIBLE TO OVER TRAINING IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH PROTEIN. THIS IS A KEY COMPONENT IN RETAINING MUSCLE AND PROVIDING ADEQUATE AMINO -ACID TO THE AMINO ACID POOL WITHIN YOUR BODY. IF YOU ARE CONCERNED THAT TOO MUCH PROTEIN IS BAD FOR YOU, DON'T BE. IT’S NOT UNCOMMON FOR YOUNG AND OLD BODYBUILDERS/ATHLETES TO BE MISLEAD BY A DOCTOR OR TRAINER. IT’S NOT UNCOMMON FOR YOUNG BODYBUILDERS TO BE SET ASTRAY BY THEIR FRIEND BASE GROUP AND DIETITIANS TELLING THEM THAT TOO MUCH PROTEIN CAN DAMAGE YOUR KIDNEYS. THERE HAS BEEN NO STUDY DONE TO MY KNOWLEDGE THAT PROTEIN CAUSES ANY TYPE OF KIDNEY DAMAGE IN HEALTHY INDIVIDUALS. YOU HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND THE DAILY REQUIREMENTS IS BASED ON INACTIVE PEOPLE, NOT ATHLETES AND BODYBUILDERS. PROTEIN IS THE MOST IMPORTANT NUTRIENT FOR BODYBUILDERS/ WHO WANT TO BUILD MUSCLE. I BELIEVE IN SPREADING MY PROTEIN OVER 6/8 MEALS. EATING ANY THING LESS THAN THAT
AMOUNT FOR YOUR BODY WEIGHT YOU WILL HIT PLATEAUS IN YOUR LEAN BODY MASS GAINS. I HAVE SEEN TRAINEES MAKE CHANGES IN THEIR PHYSIQUE GOING FROM 3 MEALS TO 6 MEALS A DAY AND IT'S AN INCREDIBLE CHANGE. YOU HAVE TO KEEP IN MIND THE PROTEIN HAS TO BE FROM A LOW-FAT AND HIGH QUALITY SOURCES, LIKE CHICKEN, TURKEY BREAST, EGG WHITES, FISH AND HIGH QUALITY PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTS LIKE JARROW'S AMINO ACIDS AND GLYCEMIC PROTEIN POWDER. IN ORDER TO INDUCE MUSCLES TO RESPONDS, YOU HAVE TO MAXIMALLY STRESS THEM WITH HVY WEIGHT RESISTANCE, USING THE HVY /DAY LIGHT DAY SYSTEMS. A POOL OF AMINO ACIDS MUST BE PRESENT TO AID IN THE TISSUE REPAIR. IF YOUR EATING PLAN IS LACKING IN PROTEIN YOU CAN TRAIN DAY IN AND DAY OUT, POUNDING THE WEIGHTS AS YOU DESIRE , AND I GUARANTEE YOU WONT SEE ANY MUSCLE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT. ONE CRITERIA PEOPLE USE TO GAUGE IF THEY ARE OVER TRAINED OR NOT IS THEIR ABILITY TO RECUPERATE. IF YOUR PROTEIN IS INADEQUATE, RECUPERATION IS AFFECTED, SO IT’S EASY TO SEE HOW SOME PEOPLE COULD MISTAKENLY THINK THEIR WEIGHT TRAINING AND NOT THEIR EATING PLAN, IS THE CAUSE OF OVER-TRAINING. EAT MORE PROTEIN
‘’KING OF MUSCLE GROWTH’’.

4 PART SERIES

PART 1

DIARY OF THE BLACK PRINCE-

AFTER BEING A COMPETITOR FOR OVER 27 YEARS, THERE ARE A FEW ELEMENTS I WILL ADDRESS IN A 4 PART BLOG STARTING WITH WATER.
THE MUSCLES NUTRIENT CARRIER IS WATER. THINK ABOUT IT . IT SHOULD BE A KNOWN FACT ABOUT WATER IS THAT THE LESS YOU DRINK ,THE MORE LIKELY YOU ARE TO BECOME OVER TRAINED. THERE’S A DIRECT CORRELATION. YOUR MUSCLES ARE COMPRISED OF OVER 70 % WATER. A HIGH PROTEIN DIET REQUIRES MORE WATER . SWEATING DURING INTENSE WORKOUTS CAUSES DEHYDRATION AND LOST BODY WATER. COFFEE OR OTHER CAFFEINATED DRINKS CAUSE DEHYDRATION.
WATER THE ESSENTIAL TRANSPORT MECHANISM FOR ALL THE BODY’S NUTRIENTS LIKE VITAMINS AND MINERALS EVEN CARBOHYDRATES. IT PLAYS A HUGE ROLL IN ALL THE YOUR BODY‘S CELL ACTIVITY. WHEN YOU DON’T DRINK ENOUGH WATER YOU COMPROMISE MUSCLE FULLNESS. TOXIC BUILD UP OF AMMONIA, UREA,URIC- ACID AND OTHER JUNK BEGINS TO ACCUMULATE IN YOUR BODY. AS THE DOMINO EFFECT TAKES OVER, THE BODY SYSTEMS STARTS TO WEAKEN, YOUR BODY’S NOT CAPABLE OF PUSHING WATER AND THE NUTRIENTS THEY'RE CARRYING INTO MUSCLES BECAUSE TOO MUCH IS PULLED OUT TO HANDLE THE DEMANDS AND STRESSES BEING PLACES ON IT. TO STAY ADEQUATELY HYDRATED, TAKE YOUR BODY WEIGHT MULTIPLY IT BY 55 THAT WILL TELL YOU HOW MANY OUNCES YOU SHOULD DRINK EVERY DAY. IF YOU OR CONSISTENT RUNNER ARE ALONG DISTANT RUNNER IN EXTREME HEAT MULTIPLY YOUR BODY WEIGHT BY 66. DIRECTING THE WATER WITH TWO MINERALS; POTASSIUM AND SEA SALT IS ONE OF THE TRICKS I HAVE USED DURING MY COMPETITIVE CAREER TO COME IN BIG, MUSCULAR, THICK AND FULL. THE WEEK OF THE SHOW THIS MANIPULATION CREATES THE WINNERS LOOK .

THE BODY WILL NOT TAKE CARE OF ITSELF

2010-04-18T19:23:00.000-07:00

DIARY OF THE BLACK PRINCE
I’M AMAZED WHEN I HEAR THE TALK SURROUNDING GETTING IN SHAPE AND CREATING A MORE MUSCULAR PHYSIQUE. HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO THINK A CALORIE IS A CALORIE OR THAT THE BODY WILL TAKE CARE OF ITSELF?

THE COFFEE DRINKING AND SPONGY FOOD EATING HABITS AND THE IRRESISTIBLE HOLD OF PHARMACOLOGICAL DRUGS THAT HAVE AMERICANS HYPNOTIZED HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE DECLINE OF THE POWER OF THE AMERICAN DOMINANCE WHEN IT COMES TO BEING THE HEALTHIEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD EVEN SPORT ATHLETES PERFORMANCES.
OUR DOWNFALL IS CONTRIBUTING TO BAD EATING HABITS IN OUR CHILDREN CREATING OBESITY. THAT’S A CAUSE BEYOND REPAIR OR IS IT? WHEN A MOTHER IS SENTENCED TO 15 YEARS IN PRISON BECAUSE HER 13 YEAR OLD SON WEIGHED 550 LBS, YOU WONDER. MOST PARENTS DON’T KNOW THEMSELVES AND SCHOOLS LACK A CREATIVE APPROACH TO TEACHING HEALTH AND FITNESS THROUGHOUT SCHOOLS.

THE BODY WILL NOT TAKE CARE OF ITSELF UNTIL YOU RESPECT IT AND DO SOMETHING TO ACHIEVE BETTER HEALTH. DIETARY SUPPLEMENTATION SHOULD PLAY A ROLE.

PEACE , ROBBY

DIARY OF THE BLACK PRINCE

YOU CAN TAKE IT STRAIGHT FROM THE MASTER HIMSELF, REGULAR EXERCISE IS ONE OF THE KEYS TO MY RADIANT HEALTHY GLOW, MUSCLE STRENGTH AND LONGEVITY. I CAN ONLY JUDGE THE POSITIVE, GREAT RETURNS I HAVE GOTTEN FROM MY YEARS OF PRACTICING BODYBUILDING. REGULAR EXERCISE IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF GOOD HEALTH. IT’S NOT JUST FOR ATHLETES. A SEDENTARY LIFESTYLE HAS THE SAME RESULTS AS SMOKING A PACK A DAY! WE ALL KNOW THAT WEIGHT TRAINING AND GOOD EATING HABITS SPEED UP THE RESULTS IN WEIGHT LOSS AND HEART RECOVERY, BUT REGULAR WORKOUTS ALSO HELPS A HEALING PROGRAM.
IT STRENGTHENS THE WHOLE BODY ; MUSCLES, NERVES, BLOOD, GLANDS, LUNGS, HEART, BRAIN, MIND AND MOOD. IT INCREASES METABOLIC RATE, MUSCLE MASS, TISSUE OXYGEN UPTAKE, RESPIRATORY AND CIRCULATORY, VIGOR AND MULTIPLY THE ENZYMES OF THE BODY THAT HELPS TO BURN FAT .

BECAUSE OF MY GREAT EATING AND SUPPLEMENTATION PROGRAM EACH WORKOUT DAY, I’M FULL OF ENERGY. I CAN’T WAIT TO GO TO BATTLE. MY TRAINING REGIME AND GREAT EATING HABITS HAVE ENRICHED MY EXISTENCE.

I LOVE BODYBUILDING. IT IS THE FOUNDATION OF LIFE.

MY BREAKFAST EACH DAY IS FULL OF SUPER POWER NUTRIENTS AND IT AIN'T

2010-04-05T15:59:00.000-07:00

1 TABLESPOON OF FRESH PRESSED CASHEW BUTTER WITH A BOWL OF STEEL CUT OATS.

3 TO 4 EGGS OVER EASY 4-OZS OF LEAN BEEF, 2 SLICE OF STONE GROUND BREAD.

DIARY OF THE BLACK PRINCE

THE FIBER IS ONE OF THE KEY COMPOUNDS IN MY NUTRITIOUS BREAKFAST. I CAN’T WAIT TO HAVE BREAKFAST EACH DAY. IF YOU BELIEVE WHAT YOU READ IN THE CEREAL AISLE - THE RIGHT BOX CAN LOWER YOUR CHOLESTEROL AND CUT YOUR RISK OF HEART DISEASE .
CHEERIO CEREAL BOX LABELS THAT CLAIMS CHEERIOS HAS THE ABILITY TO LOWER CHOLESTEROL A CERTAIN % #. THE FDA SENT THEM A LETTER TELLING THEM THAT THEY HAD NOT GOTTEN AN APPROVAL FROM THE FDA TO MAKE THOSE CLAIMS. WHEAT, SUGAR AND MILK HAS GOT TO BE WORST FOOD COMBO POSSIBLE. IT NOT ONLY DOESN’T LOWER CHOLESTEROL AND DISTURB THE DIGESTION SYSTEM, IT SETS YOUR BLOOD SUGAR IN A TAIL SPIN FOR THE DAY.
3 GRMS OF SOLUBLE FIBER A DAY WILL REDUCE YOUR CHOLESTEROL LEVEL. THAT’S 3 SERVING A DAY. TRY STEEL CUT OATS AND 1 TBS OF PSYLLIUM (FOR EXTRA FIBER). WHEN COOKED TO PERFECTION IT TASTES LIKE CREAM -VERY CHEWY NUTTY DELICIOUS. I ALSO ADD A DASH OF CINNAMON WITH THIN SLICE OF APPLE TO INCREASE THE FIBER ON HEAVY DAYS. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE FRUIT FOR FIBER AND ANTIOXIDANTS. ALSO EATING SMALLER MEALS AND CUTTING BACK OR NOT CONSUMING DAIRY, BACK OFF THE RED MEAT. THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE THINGS YOU CAN DO IF YOU REALLY NEED THOSE CHOLESTEROL NUMBERS TO DROP.
IF YOU ARE GOING TO EAT THOSE CEREALS IN THOSE PAPER BOXES WITH INK-WRAPPING, YOU MIGHT AS WELL SIT DOWN AND EAT THEM STRAIGHT FROM THE BOX. IT MAKES NO SENSE TO EAT THEM WITH WHOLE MILK.

MY OLYMPIC BODYBUILDING CHAMPION DREAM

2010-03-31T14:28:00.000-07:00

YOU HAVE TO HAVE BELIEFS TO ACCOMPLISH ALL YOU DESIRE TO ACCOMPLISH. THINK ABOUT YOUR GOALS OFTEN.

DIARY OF THE BLACK PRINCE

WE ALL HAVE DREAMS AND VISION OFTEN ABOUT THINGS WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE OURSELVES ACHIEVING AND DOING WITH OUR LIFE. COMING TO LA IN 1975, FULL OF CONFIDENCE AND INSPIRATION MY DREAM AND VISION WAS OF BECOMING AN OLYMPIC BODYBUILDING CHAMPION. IT’S HARD TO HAVE TO COME TO GRIPS WITH SEEING YOUR DREAMS NOT BECOMING A REALITY. MY DREAMS BECAME MONEY IN SOMEONE ELSE'S POCKET. AFTER READING ABOUT HOW MUCH EFFORT THE IFBB WAS PUTTING INTO MAKING BODYBUILDING AN OLYMPIC SPORT, I WAS TOTALLY CONVINCED I WOULD ONE DAY BE STANDING UP THERE ON THAT OLYMPIC PODIUM WITH A GOLD MEDAL AROUND MY NECK . FATE PROVED OTHERWISE. 4 TEAMMATES AND I HAVE PUT A LETTER TOGETHER THAT'S BEING FORWARDED TO THE UNITED STATES OLYMPIC COMMITTEE ASKING TO MAKE BODYBUILDING AN OLYMPIC SPECTATOR SPORT FIRST, THEN AN OLYMPIC SPORT. NOTHING FAILS A TRY. YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT THE NEXT MOMENT WILL BRING. CULTIVATE THE SPIRIT, WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT COMES ABOUT. VISUALIZE THE DESIRE OUTCOME. YOUR ACTIONS MUST BE IN ALIGNMENT WITH YOUR DESIRES. THERE IS STILL THE OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR ACHIEVEMENT OF OLYMPIC GOLD.

Dear Sir(s) of the United States Olympic Committee(USOC)

My name is Robby Robinson. I am a former member of the International Federation of Bodybuilding and winner
of the Mr. Universe, Mr. America, Mr. World, and in 1994
became the first IFBB Master Olympia Champion in Atlanta, Ga, defeating IFBB favorite; the great Lou Ferrigno. I am now retired after a successful 27 year career and hosting a website. WWW.Robbyrobinson.net is the leader in providing the correct information for those who desire to take up bodybuilding. We have students coming from all over the world to my Master Class to learn the art of natural bodybuilding.

I have believed for many years that Natural Bodybuilding deserves it’s rightful spot in the Olympic first as a spectator sport, and then as an Olympic sport. The sport of bodybuilding has suffered for years because of its sole representation by the IFBB and its collaboration with Weider Publications. Their purely monetary interests turned a blind eye to steroid use and abuse. The formation of an amateur and an international organization for Bodybuilding would not only make a fair playing field but the first step towards its involvement in the Olympics. Bodybuilding would be recognized as the foundation behind all great athletes in every sport. Its common aspect will bring nations from all over the world together to the Olympic stadium. The opportunity would be rewarding for bodybuilders and their worldwide fan base, athletes and the spectator admiring strong role models.

There are many others who support this idea. Dr. Stan Morey, A former AAU America Committee member and Florida AAU President and gym owner is in support my writing this letter.

Seeing the art of bodybuilding become a part of the Olympics as a new spectator sport would be a dream realized by many. It would be an important step toward
un-tarnishing bodybuilding and bodybuilders reputations
as being steroid-laden. There can be a new day for bodybuilders as they are deserving of a higher order and having the positive influence on the world as it always should have been. Combining our mindsets defines how well we can get this done using a positive attitude and approach.

Your support and response to this letter would be greatly appreciated.

Respectively,
Robby Robinson

DIARY OF A THE BLACK PRINCE

NUTRITION IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR FOR EXERCISE AND SPORT PERFORMANCE, AT ANY LEVEL. THE SERIOUS BODYBUILDER SHOULD NEVER GET TRIED OF HEARING THAT BODYBUILDING IS 85 % NUTRITION AND EATING. JUNK FOOD PAYS THE PENALTY OF POOR PERFORMANCE. ATHLETIC EXCELLENCE CANNOT BE ACHIEVED BY BEING BLESSED WITH GREAT GENETIC TALENT OR BY JUST ADDING ANABOLIC SUPPLEMENTS OF ANY KIND TO AN INFERIOR EATING PLAN. THE ONLY EFFECTIVE ACTION IS OPTIMAL NUTRITION. GOOD NUTRITION HELPS ELIMINATE FLUCTUATING ENERGY LEVELS, ABNORMAL FATIGUE AND SUSCEPTIBILITY TO INJURY OR ILLNESS. A REGULAR, LONG TERM, OPTIMALLY NUTRITIOUS EATING PLAN IS THE BASIS FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE; NOT PROTEIN OR EVEN CARB. LOADING BEFORE AN EVENT. EXERCISE IS THE INTEGRAL PART OF NUTRITION, TOO. HARD COLD FACT - EXERCISE EASES HUNGER. YOU ARE THIRSTY AFTER A WORKOUT AS THE BODY CALLS FOR REPLACEMENT OF WATER AND LOST ELECTROLYTES, BUT NOT HUNGRY. ONE OF THE RAPID RESULTS ACHIEVED IS MUSCULAR DEVELOPMENT. IT IS A PHENOMENON. NOT ONLY DO MUSCLES BECOME TONED, BUT HEART AND LUNGS BECOME STRONGER AND FAT LOST. THE BODY DOEN’T CALL FOR CALORIE REPLACEMENT RIGHT AWAY. IT’S OWN GLYCOGEN LIFTS BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS AND PROVIDES A FEELING OF WELL BEING. EXERCISE BECOMES A NUTRIENT IN ITSELF. ''ENTHUSIASM IS A PROPELLER OF PROGRESS''.

DIARY OF THE BLACK PRINCE
The one thing that couldn’t be taken from me was my self control in other words, my bodybuilding.

I’M AMAZED AT THE AFTERMATH THE GOLDEN AGE OF BODYBUILDING HAD ON MY SPORT. IF ANYONE WOULD HAVE TOLD ME BACK THEN BODYBUILDING WOULD END UP WITH PEOPLE CALLING US DRUGGIES AND WOULD NOT BE ON THE GRAND STAGE AT THE OLYMPICS, I WOULD HAVE SAID, THAT’S NOT POSSIBLE. TO NOT BE IN THAT ARENA BATTLING IT OUT LIKE THE GLADIATORS OF OLD FOR THE GOLD IS DENYING BODYBUILDERS /BODYBUILDING THEIR RIGHTFUL PLACE. TO STAND ON THE OLYMPIC STAGE REPRESENTING THE ULTIMATE IN MUSCULAR DEVELOPMENT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN HONOR AND INSPIRATION FOR ALL. THAT WAS MY DREAM AND THE DREAMS OF OTHERS. WAS I JUST LIVING IN A FANTASY WORLD CREATED BY THE GOVERNING VOICES OF OUR LEADERS? WHAT I CAN’T SHAKE IS SEEING SO MANY DREAMERS LIKE MYSELF BELIEVING IN THE GROWN-UPS WE PAID $200.00, IN MY DAY, AND $300.00, TODAY TO BE MEMBERS OF THE INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION. WE WERE FAILED BY THE GOVERNING BODYBUILDING SYSTEM WE PAID TO PROTECT AND GUIDE US. I’M NOT ONLY EMBARRASSED FOR THEM, BUT HONESTLY FOR MYSELF AS WELL. THEY DID A BAD JOB LIKE MICHAEL BROWN OF FEMA, "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job," TO QUOTE BUSH. IF OTHERS WANT TO PRAISE THEM, THEY ARE LYING TO THEMSELVES. NOTHING HAS CHANGED - IT’S 2010. ONE MUSCLE MAG WRITER SAID TO ME, BODYBUILDING IS A BUSINESS. I ASKED, FOR WHOM? DEFINITELY NOT THE COMPETITORS. MY INGRAINED VISION OF WHAT I AND OTHERS WISHED TO ACCOMPLISH WAS THROWN UNDER THE GRINDING STONE AND BLOWN INTO THE WINDS OF TIME. WHEN YOU FAIL, YOU GET A LUMP IN YOUR THROAT WHICH IS HARD TO SWALLOW. THATS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU SEE YOUR DREAMS DERAILED BY OTHERS’ GREED. IT LEAVES YOU WITH A CHILLING EFFECT- MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY. ESPECIALLY IF YOU DON’T HAVE THE POWER TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE SITUATION. BUT, I REALIZE AS I HAVE GROWN YOUNGER, OLDER, IT'S ABOUT GROWING STRONGER WITH ADVERSITY.
“IN THE CLUTCH OF CIRCUMSTANCE, I HAVE NOT WINCED OR CRIED ALOUD; UNDER THE BLUDGEONING OF CHANCE, MY HEAD IS BLOODY, BUT UNBOWED.” Henley

YOU HAVE TO HAVE ENDURANCE WHICH IS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT DISCIPLINES, BUT IT IS TO THE ONES WHO ENDURE THAT THE FINAL VICTORY COMES. TO STRUGGLE WHEN HOPE IS BANISHED, TO LIVE WHEN LIFE’S SALT IS GONE ! TO DWELL IN A DREAM THAT’S VANISHED- TO ENDURE , AND GO CALMLY ON! I KNOW THE PRICE OF SUCCESS, DEDICATION, HARD WORK AND AN UNREMITTING DEVOTION TO THE THINGS YOU WANT TO SEE HAPPEN.

KING OF MUSCLE ANIMATION - ART BINNINGER

ART BINNINGER

I WAS WITH A # OF BODYBUILDERS IN A BOOTH AT THE MR. OLYMPIA.
IN LAS VEGAS 2007. AB IS A HUGE BODYBUILDING FAN WHO WORKS OUT 3 TO 4 TIMES A WEEK TO KEEP HIS PHYSIQUE IN TOP SHAPE FOR A YOUNG 50. AB CAME UP TO AND ASKED IF HE COULD TAKE SOME SHOOTS. THE NEXT THING I GET FROM HIM WAS THE FLEXING ROBBY WHICH BECAME A INTERNATIONAL HIT AMONG THE YOUNG & OLD BODYBUILDERS AND FANS THROUGHOUT EUROPE. HE SENT ME OTHER PIECE OF HIS WORK THAT I USED WITH ARTICLES AND THE RR NATURAL ANABOLIC 7 PAK . HIS WORK NEVER SEEKS TO AMAZE ME. IT GIVES MY BLOG AND FORUM THAT SPECIAL LOOK. A PLACE OF ENTERTAINMENT. IF YOU ARE A ART LOVER LIKE MYSELF THEN THE KING OF MUSCLE ART WORK WILL GRAB YOUR ATTENTION AND PULL YOU IN, LEAVING YOU WANTING MORE. ART, ALL OF US AT BODY & ART/ RR.NET GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR WORK .THANKS FOR BEING A PART OF THE TEAM.
PEACE , ROBBY

10 QUESTIONS FOR AB - A ‘’MASTER OF HIS CRAFT’’ ARTIST

1. I LOVE YOUR ART WORK. WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO DO IT ? YOUR
WORK OF THE FLEXING ROBBY IS A BIG HIT IN EUROPE. IT BECAME A PHOTO/PHONE SENSATION FANS AND BODYBUILDERS FLASH ME OFTEN.
Bodybuilders flash you often? Whoa, I'm not even going to touch that! LOL! Seriously, an online friend was involved with gaming and wanted something unique for his character. He was bored with the Anime style and asked for something muscular but closer to an American cartoon style. We exchanged some sketches and I finally inked and colored the bodybuilder he liked.

2 .WHY HAS THE FLEXING ROBBY BECOME SUCH A SENSATION, DOES IT SURPRISE YOU?
I'm guessing that the simplicity of it could be one thing. People have been exposed to CGI animation of increasing complexity for over 20 years now so I think the hand-drawn look has renewed appeal. I also kept the file size on the Gif small so it was easy and fast to download. Plus they like Mr. RR!

3. HOW DO YOU COME UP WITH THE DIFFERENT DRAWINGS? HOW LONG DO IT TAKE TO DO A PIECE OF ART WORK?
For your animation, I worked on it in bits for a couple of weeks. The major challenge was the hair. Your old Afro was so simple to draw but we all need challenges to improve ourselves.
For the still drawings, once the idea is nailed down, it usually takes about an hour to pencil it and, depending on the complexity, about 30 minutes to ink it. I then scan it into the computer and use an old program called Micrografx Picture Publisher to color it. Each muscle group (pecs, biceps, shoulders) get masked off and I used color gradients to fill them in. I'm still trying to work out a satisfactory way of portraying the muscles oiled up. I experimented once a few years ago but wasn't too happy with it.
I really like coming up with the backgrounds. There's so many different things available. I go out and shoot a lot of cloud formations during the rainy season to use as backgrounds. And as I mentioned with the pose down background, that was taken from a bus window as we were driving on the 118 freeway near Simi Valley.

4. YOU WENT TO THE BIG-O THIS YEAR. WAS IT ENJOYABLE? IS THIS WHERE YOU COME UP WITH SOME OF THE IDEAS FOR YOUR DRAWINGS?
I thought about going a few times but finally got up the nerve (and the cash) in 2007. I enjoyed the Expo and the show so much that I wanted to go again in 2009. It actually did spark ideas and the fact that so many of the stars are so approachable (like you in 2007) is really nice. It had a different vibe in 2009, probably because Ben Weider had passed away and the general economic downturn really hurt Vegas.

5. HOW MANY DAYS A WEEK DO YOU WORKOUT TO STAY FIT AND STRONG?
I try to get in to the gym 4 to 5 evenings a week. I always work out better with someone, I feed off their energy. It's like a performer who needs an audience. If I don't have a partner, I don't seem to push as hard.

SUPPLEMENTATION FOR MUSCLE GROWTH AND LONGEVITY IS VERY IMPORTANT. ORDER YOUR RR NATURAL ANABOLIC 7 PACK TODAY. JOIN THE TEAM AND FORUM, TO HELP YOU ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS.

6. DO YOU WORKOUT? DO YOU TAKE SUPPLEMENTS FOR HEALTH SUPPORT AND LONGEVITY? IF SO HAVE THEY MADE A DIFFERENCE IN YOUR ENERGY LEVEL.
I definitely have been taking supplements and vitamins. In 2006, my liver nearly failed from prescription medication and the doctors basically gave up on me. I had been talking to a couple of people with backgrounds in nutritional healing and began a regimen of milk thistle, alpha lipoic acid, selenium and vitamin C. This was around October 2006. By March 2007, several people at the gym started commenting on how my appearance and energy level had improved since Christmas time. Believe it or not, the doctors are still trying to convince me to go back to the medication. Guess what I told them? LOL! I've added multivitamins, Co Q10 and others over the years to ward off some of the ravages of being over 50.

7. Who is your favorite artist and why?
Favorite artist, hmmm? There are a number people whose work I admire, some are illustrators, others are animators. My favorite fantasy artist is Boris Vallejo although there are several others who work in comic books who really handle physique art very well. The artists who worked on the Conan comics in the 1970's John Buscema, Ernie Colon, Gil Kane and others
turned out great work. I go through phases where I'll forget about comics for a while then pick up something that catches my eye and get into them again. One animator who doesn't get much credit was John Gentilella, who started at the Max Fleischer studio (Popeye, Betty Boop) but really shined after the studio was taken over by Paramount and renamed Famous Studios. His Popeye was solidly drawn and he handled action scenes with great dynamic movements. I like Fred Moore from Disney for his really appealing, squeezably soft characters. I'll probably think of more later but these are a good start.

BORIS VALLEJO'S JEAN GREY

8. YOU AND I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS PAST WEEK ABOUT COMING UP WITH A ROBBY ROBINSON CALENDAR FOR NEXT YEAR 2011. THAT SHOULD BE A HOT SELLER.
That's why I made the little one for you as a sample. I've learned that people have so little free time these days that simply suggesting an idea isn't enough to sell it. Having something to hold in your hands helps spark ideas and improve on the original suggestion. When I was doing freelance artwork after I got out of the Air Force in the mid-1970's, I found that if you combined art or photography with something people use all the time, like a calendar, you had a better chance of getting your work sold. The explosion of specialty calendars since then just underlines that fact.

9 DO YOU GET EXCITED WHEN YOU START WORKING ON A NEW DRAWING? ARE YOU ALWAYS TRYING TO IMPROVE YOUR TECHNIQUE?
The excitement is when the idea first pops up. Then there's the fun factor. If it's fun you want to get it finished to see the final product. Since I'm unschooled in art, I'm always self-conscious about it and accumulating reference material. I've referred to you many times! My friend Grant Hiestand, who worked in Disney Feature Animation for eleven years, would give me pointers on how to improve. When I started doing more muscle cartoons I picked up a book by Burne Hogarth called DYNAMIC ANATOMY. Not only did it show how to draw the muscle groups but explained how they worked with each other.

10. THE ‘’POSE DOWN’’ MASTER PIECE WAS A POWERFUL STATEMENT. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A BEAUTIFUL MUSCULAR PHYSIQUE MALE ARE FEMALE . IS ROBBY HARD TO WORK WITH HOW LONG DID IT TAKE YOU TO COMPLETE THE PIECE. IS HE PICKY?
Actually, I like working with Robby and want him to be happy with the results. He knows what he's looking for and can put it across without being disparaging. There have been some cases where I just told people we weren't on the same wavelength and they need to find someone else. Like I said earlier, there has to be a fun factor in there somewhere. I think the completed drawing took a little over a week working in the evenings. Having funny cartoons running seems to keep me in the mood. I had the New Adventures of Mighty Mouse on while I did the mountain posedown. So now I can't look at Robby without thinking "Here I come to save the day!".

PEACE, ROBBY

THE POSE DOWN

2010-01-25T15:45:00.000-08:00

BLOG DIARY OF THE BLACK PRINCE

DURING THE POSE DOWN, THERE IS NO FEELING ON STAGE THAT MATCHES THE MOMENT WHEN THE HEAD JUDGE CALLS YOUR # TO COME TO THE FRONT OF THE STAGE AND GO THROUGH THE 7 MANDATORY POSES; FRONT DOUBLE BICEP POSE, FRONT LAT SPREAD, SIDE CHEST, DOUBLE BICEP FROM THE REAR, LAT SPREAD FROM THE REAR, ABS + CALVES AND LEGS. WHEN YOU MASTER THESE 7 POSES, YOU WILL FIND YOURSELF PLACING HIGHER IN COMPETITIONS, WINNING MORE SHOWS, GETTING MORE PHOTO SHOOTS REQUEST, AND CALL DOWNS FOR COVER SHOTS. DURING MY CAREER I’VE BEEN ABLE TO NOTCH OUT MANY WINS CAPTIVATING BOTH THE JUDGES AND THOSE IN ATTENDANCE BECAUSE I MASTERED THESE POSES. POSING HELPS TO BRING OUT ALL THOSE LITTLE ITTY BITTY MUSCLES THAT GIVE YOUR PHYSIQUE THAT WINNING EDGE AND HEARING THE JUDGE CALL YOUR NAME AS THE WINNER.
I STILL GET CHILLS WHEN I LOOK AT PHOTOS OF ME BEING ANNOUNCE THE WINNER OF THE FIRST MASTER MR. OLYMPIA 1994.

''3-VOICES ''CAME TO ME AFTER READING MY DAILY E-MAILS . I'M FASCINATED WITH LISTENING . WE HAVE 2 EARS AND 1 TONGUE SO THAT WE WOULD LISTEN MORE AND TALK LESS. DAVID JAFFARAIN, RALPAL SINGH AND DR STAN MOREY SHARE THEIR WORDS OF WISDOM, WHICH SHOULD INSPIRE THOSE WHO READ THEM AND FIND THE WORDS EMPOWERING. "APPRECIATION IS A WONDERFUL THING : IT MAKES WHAT IS EXCELLENT IN OTHERS BELONG TO US AS WELL" RR

ROBBY----Like you say, hard work pays off and you can alway improve. Before corresponding with you, I thought I pretty much reached my potential and lost some of the fire I once had. I'm grateful for finding your blog, ordering "BUILT" , getting on the RR Anabolic 7 Pack plan and doing the Master Class. I got my optimism back, believe I'm not even close to reaching my potential and feel like I did when I was 14 years old when I picked up a weight for the first time! You have not only helped we with the physical but the mental and emotional. I've read your TRM's, e-mail and blog entries many, many times. I've written down some of your entries that really motivate and inspire me and refer to them often. I've hammered many of them in my subconscious and they have become a part of me. I know I have become a better person in the process. You guys will always have my support.

I was curious if you have the Vince Gironda course called "Why do champion's muscles look different"? This is a great little book that talks about a lot of the mental aspect of bodybuilding such as visualization, concentration, tranquility, workout tempo...etc...I read it before going to the gym yesterday. Vince talked about many of the things you talk about. It is a great read. A great quote in this book as follows: "The subconscious believes any thought you perceive, and stores it. It accepts everything that is thought or spoken by you or another, if you accept it as truth. But it must be repeated again and again until the subconscious accepts it as fact. Then it will produce the condition pictured in your mind. This procedure is what I maintain is used by the champions, whether or not they are aware it. They are convinced of a successful outcome. This awareness is more important than any steroid drug, any diet plan or supplement, or any exercise routine ever conceived. I have observed bodybuilders who take steroids and receive no benefits. They take unimaginable amounts of supplements and constantly try new routines, but are not getting results, and never will until they discover that what I have written here is the true essence of bodybuilding. For years, I have been asked by my fans to write the secrets of the champions, and here you have it". I'm realizing more and more that the mind is incredibly powerful. This is another area of focus for me in 2010. Wish you both a great night.
David

Dear Robby, I can't express in words how much I "LOVE" your blog. you know you are a inspiration for young people like me to whom we look up to. the way you express about various things about life is phenomenal. ThanKs for sharing the info with us.
Regards Rajpal Singh

Robby,---I was watching "Legends" again, and it verifies a very important point. Position is everything when it comes to an exercise. On my BEST bodybuilders, I would watch them perform exercises, and note how a muscle reacted. Sometimes just a small change of position was all it would take to make an exercise work. Another thing I noted was that people hated to do exercises that they felt they were weak at. That is the exercise they needed to do, that is why the muscle was weak in that area. People tend to want to show how strong they are at the expense of correct form. Weight is what made the wagon break.

SHADE'S OF BLACK.- ONCE YOU MAKE UP YOUR MIND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN'T
ACHIEVE. THESE PHOTOS WERE TAKEN THE FIRST WEEK OF JAN 2010. YOU CAN ALWAYS IMPROVE. ''THE ARTIST''

DIARY OF THE BODYBUILDER
I GREW UP IN THE GOLDEN AGE OF BODYBUILDING WHERE THERE WAS NO SUCH MINDSET AS NOT TAKING IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL WITH INTENSITY AND MUSCLE BUILDING WORK LOADS, FROM WORKOUT TO WORKOUT. TODAY’S BODYBUILDERS DON’T EXCITE ME. NOTHING GETS UNDER MY SKIN MORE THAN A COMPLAINER WHEN IT COMES TO HARD WORK -ESPECIALLY IN THE FREE WEIGHT AREA . TO SEE SOMEONE NOT HAVE THE TOUGH MINDSET IT TAKES TO STAY A CHAMPION ANNOYS ME . I KEEP HEARING OF COMEBACKS BUT I’M SURE ITS ALL BLUFF. TALK IS CHEAP. THEY PUT THE TIME IN THE TRAINING AND POSING ROOM WORK BUT DROP IT WHEN IT COMES TO EATING AND TAKING SUPPLEMENTS ON TIME.
WHEN A CHAMPION CHASES THE GOLD, IT'S BETTER TO HAVE ALL YOUR PIECES IN PLACE OR YOU WILL FALL BY THE WAY SIDE JUST LIKE OTHERS BEFORE YOU. UNLESS COMMITMENT IS MADE, THERE ARE ONLY PROMISES AND HOPES, BUT NO PLAN. IT TAKES A LOT OF HARD WORK TO BECOME A CHAMPION. QUOTING DAVID JAFFARIAN WHOM CAME TO MY MASTER CLASS, “DOING THE WORK LOAD AND PERFORMING IT CORRECTLY IS ANOTHER BALL GAME -IT’S NOTHING LIKE YOU COULD IMAGINE.’’
YOU WILL FIND VERY FEW SO CALLED HARD WORKERS THAT HAVE THE WILL/MINDSET IT TAKES TO COME TO THE PLATE AND TAKE THE CHALLENGE AND MAKE THE COMMITMENT/DAY IN AND DAY OUT TO ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS. DAVID JAFFARIAN MEETS THAT STANDARD. MANY TRAINEES WANT THEIR CAKE AND THE CHAMPIONSHIP TOO. BUT YOU CAN’T HAVE BOTH. YOU HAVE TO DO WHAT IT TAKES TO OVERCOME THE LABEL OF A TIME-WASTER. TIME WASTERS, CARELESSLY SQUANDER THEIR TIME AND GROW SLOWER, THINNER, WEAKER BECAUSE OF THEIR LACK OF DRIVE AND FEELINGS. THE REAL CHAMPIONSHIP CHASER WANTS OTHERS TO FEEL ENTHUSIASM, COURAGE, OPTIMISM. ONE’S PERSONNEL DEVELOPMENT SHOULD HELP OTHERS THINK MORE OF THEMSELVES. POWER IS INCREASED BY EMPOWERING OTHERS. COURAGE IS DOING WHAT YOU ARE AFRAID TO DO. THERE CAN BE NO COURAGE UNLESS YOU ARE SCARED.
PEACE , ROBBY

What Has “Cancer” Meant to Me

When I first was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma, I was with my wife in the emergency room. When I first heard the words, it seemed like it had to be a joke, NOT ME, it must be wrong. Then I heard, NO CURE, wow, it cannot happen to me. I was embarrassed, because I felt they were telling me I was no longer a man, I was just another casualty of disease.
I was scared, I was terrified, I was afraid that my wife would leave me. Negativity was my mantra at that point.
My Dr. was an Iraqi named Dr. Al-Hassani, who has become a dear friend. He helped me to see this as another obstacle in my path to be conquered. Being a Bodybuilder with a desire to win and achieve, I approached Cancer by not acknowledging it. I was determined to win, and be HEALTHY.
My first treatment was with Thalidomide and Cortisone. I found out I had 9 fractured vertebra, a broken shoulder, and pinholes in the bone caused by the disease. I was facing an 80% infection rate. From this treatment I suffered from Pulmonary Embolisms, Diarrhea, and rashes. I was hospitalized three times, and lost 63 lbs. I really became suicidal.
It was then I was offered a revolutionary stem cell implant which offered me a chance to beat this disease. I was given only a 50% chance of surviving. I took this gamble, I had nothing to lose and my life to gain. I had this procedure done at Moffitt Cancer Center with Dr. Alsina at the helm. When I left the Hospital which you can see on the blog I could not walk, was very, very weak. I was told it would take up to a year to recover if it worked.
Enter my dear friend Robby Robinson. I had decided I wanted to live, be healthy, have sex etc. Something told me to contact Robby who I had not seen in over 30 years.
Why? I still do not know. We talked; I went on his Herbal treatment, Glutamine, and with his unbounding optimism, and my will to get better, and deny this disease. I am now walking, living, and happy. I exercise daily, and even though I am somewhat compromised in my ability, I have beat this disease going on 5 years. All of you can do the same through will-power, desire, and proper supplementation. Those of you that are working with Robby can see that whatever he espouses works, just believe and be positive.
Dr. Stan

WE WISH ALL OF YOU THRIVING SUCCESS THIS COMING YEAR. LET’S BEGIN BY CHANGING OUR ATTITUDE’S .

BEST WISHES ALWAYS, ROBBY ROBINSON

DR. STAN IS A CHAMPION OF CONFIDENCE AND HARD WORK

2009-12-24T10:53:00.000-08:00

DR.STAN IS THE KIND OF TRAINING PARTNER I WOULD WANT IN MY CORNER, GETTING READY FOR A COMPETITION. THE DOC. HAS MADE A MAJOR COMEBACK.

DR. STAN, HIS BEAUTIFUL WIFE GERY AND GRAND DAUGHTERS HEATHER AND SARAH AND THEIR DOG SAMMIE ARE A HEALTHY HAPPY FAMILY.

DOC AND FAMILY AT A RECENT SOFTBALL GAME. NOTHING BEATS TAKING A TIME OUT WITH THOSE YOU LOVE.

DIARY OF THE BLACK PRINCE.
A VOICE FROM THE PAST CAME AT ME HAUNTINGLY. I COULD CLEARLY HEAR THE SOUND OF SICKNESS EVEN DEATH KNOCKING AT HIS DOOR. HE TOLD ME HE HAD MULTIPLE MYELOMA A BONE MARROW CANCER . ME BEING ME I WOULD BE THERE AS A SUPPORT SYSTEM TO HELP HIM REGAIN HIS HEALTH AND STABILIZE HIS CONFIDENCE. WITH NOTHING BUT POSITIVE ON TOP OF POSITIVE, I WOULD SEND E-MAILS, MAKE UNEXPECTED PHONE CALLS AND BE THERE FOR HIM WHEN HE WANTED TO JUST TALK.
HEARING THE DR'S VOICE BROUGHT ME BACK TO OUR OLD DAYS AND THE FRIENDSHIP WE SHARED EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN OVER 30 YEARS SINCE WE SPOKE. DR STAN WAS A VERY SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSMAN AND BODYBUILDER, FROM THE GOLDEN DAYS IN THE FLORIDA AAU BODYBUILDING ARENA. WITHOUT HIM I WOULD HAVE ENDED UP WORKING AT THE TALLAHASSEE DEMOCRAT THE CITIES #1 NEWSPAPER AS THEIR WIRE -ROOM MANAGER FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. BEING A MINORITY IT WAS A BLESSING DURING THE CIVIL RIGHTS DAYS. HE ADVISED ME TO GO TO LA TO SHOW THEM SOME OF THAT FLORIDA MUSCLE. HE BELIEVED I HAD ENOUGH MOUTH, ATTITUDE AND PIT BULL NO FEAR MINDSET TO ENDURE THE JOURNEY I WOULD FACE.
HAVING SEEN PHOTOS OF DR. STAN’S CANCER AND CHEMO RECKED PHYSIQUE, I'M TOTALLY AMAZED AT WHAT HE HAS ACHIEVED WITH HIS HEALTH. HIS CURRENT CONDITION AND HIS ROUTINE OF 24 PUSH UPS, SWIMMING LAPS, WEIGHTS, RIDING HIS BIKE.
RECENTLY HIS DR. GAVE HIM A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH WITH AN IMPROVED IMMUNE SYSTEM. THAT’S THE STUFF MIRACLES OF NATURE ARE MADE OF. IF YOU NEED MOTIVATION TO JOURNEY INTO THE NEXT LEVEL OF YOUR LIFE, DR.STAN EXPECTED THE BEST! HIS INTEND AND WILL HIS DESIRED OUTCOME, DR,STAN MOREY IS AND INSPIRATIONAL LIGHT FOR OTHERS TO FOLLOW. THE ONLY LIMIT TO WHAT YOU CAN HAVE AND ACHIEVE IN YOUR LIFE IS THE SIZE OF YOUR IMAGINATION AND YOUR COMMITMENT TO MAKING IT A REALITY.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010.
PEACE , ROBBY

THE SCHOOLING OF PERCEPTION

2009-12-19T13:59:00.000-08:00

IMAGE CREATED BY ZENA USING THE BODY OF ROBBY/ AND THE FACIAL IMAGE OF DR. STAN.

IMAGINATION- THE MENTAL POWER OF FORMING IMAGES OF UNREAL OR ABSENT OBJECTS. WHEN IT COMES TO DEVELOPING A MUSCULAR PHYSIQUE, YOU CAN USE SUCH POWER AND ENERGY CREATIVELY .

DIARY OF THE BLACK PRINCE

EFFECTIVE TRAINING REQUIRES THE SCHOOLING OF PERCEPTION. WITHOUT PERCEPTION YOU CAN’T CHANGE YOUR BODY. IF YOU FEEL WHATS GOING ON IN OUR BODY, THEN YOU CAN TAKE FATE INTO YOUR ON HANDS AND DO THINGS THROUGH OUR WILL POWER TO MAKE OUR BODY FUNCTION BETTER AND GROW STRONGER. FELT TRAINING MOVEMENTS CHANGE WORKOUTS RAPIDLY INTO PLEASANT PLEASURABLE ONES. YOU START TO ENJOY TRAINING AND THIS IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN THINKING I HAVE TO DO THIS OR SOMETHING - HEALTH WISE BAD WILL HAPPEN.
ONLY WHAT WE VISUALIZED CAN BE COORDINATED EFFECTIVELY INTO MUSCLE BUILDING. TO BUILD MUSCLE, STRENGTH, AND SIZE YOU MUST SPEND TIME AND FOCUS ON THE MUSCLE CONTRACTION, WHICH HAS BECOME A LOST PART OF THE ART OF BODYBUILDING. WHEN IT IT COMES TO BUILDING MUSCLE UTILIZE THE POWER OF INTENSE FOCUS. IT IS NOT THE NUMBER OF HOURS YOU PUT IN THAT COUNT, AS MUCH AS WHAT YOU PUT IN THE HOURS.
PEACE , ROBBY

TAKING THE BODY TO ANOTHER LEVEL

2009-12-12T16:50:00.000-08:00

BIG WILL ! BIG WILL, MR.INTENSITY,
SHOWS IN THESE PHOTOS WHAT IT TAKES TO PUT ON MUSCLE AND SIZE.
A WARRIOR ATTITUDE ALONG WITH INTENSE FOCUS.

IN 2008 I GOT THIS E-MAIL FROM MR BROOKER, AN AUSTRALIAN BUSINESSMAN. YOU KNOW THOSE AUSSIES ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR TOUGHNESS. "BIG WILL’’ WAS UP TO WORKING OUT WITH THE BLACK PRINCE HIMSELF, 1 ON 1, ON HIS WAY TO THE 2008 BIG O IN LAS VEGAS. DURING MY MASTER CLASS, I TAKE EACH CLIENT THROUGH THE WRINGER. WILL WANTED TO FEEL THE FIRE. HIS FIRST CHOICE OF BODY PARTS WAS CHEST AND BICEPS. I COULD TELL HE HAD A POSITIVE ATTITUDE ABOUT HIMSELF AND HIS TRAINING, SO IT WAS STRAIGHT FOR THE PAIN ZONE. THE FIRST EXERCISE FOR BICEPS WAS STANDING CURLS. WE ALTERNATED THESE WITH SEATED SCOTT BENCH CURLS. MAKING SMALL CHANGES IN HIS BODY POSITION AND ASKING HIM TO FOCUS ON MAKING A BALL EACH TIME HE CONTRACTED THE BICEPS AT THE TOP , WAS ALL THAT WE NEEDED TO PUSH HIS BICEPS STRAIGHT INTO THE PAIN ZONE. COME SEPT 2010, WE WILL AGAIN CHASE EACH OTHER FOR 4 DAYS IN MY MASTER CLASS. BIG WILL AND THE BLACK PRINCE WILL DO BATTLE ON THE IRON PILE AGAIN. DESTINATION GOLD’S GYM AND MARINA FITNESS. STAY TUNED FOR THE AFTERMATH. THERE AIN’T NOTHING AFTER THAT.
PEACE , ROBBY

A PIECE OF ART

DIARY OF THE BLACK PRINCE
I REMEMBER SEEING MY FIRST PICTURES OF THE LEGENDS OF THE GAME;
STEVE REEVES, HAROLD POOLE, ART HARRIS, DAVE DRAPER, THE OAK, FRANCO, KEN WALLER AND ED CORNEY. BEING ABLE TO GET THE CHANCE TO SEE THEM PERFORM THEIR EXERCISES WHILE THEY WORKED DIFFERENT BODY PARTS. YOU MARVEL AT HOW THEY EXECUTED THE MOVEMENTS OF EACH EXERCISE, THEIR BODY POSITION, MENTAL FOCUS AND MINDSET. WHEN THEY JOURNEYED INTO A SET, YOU WANTED TO DO YOUR SETS THE SAME WAY BUT WITH EVEN MORE GRACE AND CONTROL.
GETTING THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH THESE LEGENDS ENHANCED MY MINDSET TO CHALLENGE MYSELF TO WORK TOWARD ‘’PERFECTION’’ OF THE ART IN EVERY PHASE OF THE GAME; TRAINING, EATING, MENTAL DISCIPLINE, MINDSET, BREATH CONTROL. YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO FOCUS ON EACH OF THESE AREAS WITH 100% CONCENTRATION TO BRING HOME THE CHAMPIONSHIP. THERE IS NO SHORT CUTS TO SUCCESS. IT’S NECESSARY TO SET GOALS HIGH. ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PRINCIPLES YOU CAN EVER LEARN TO ACCOMPLISH THE GOAL ,’’YOU HAVE TO LET GO OF IT’’
AND FOCUS ON THE PATH .
PEACE , ROBBY
