BY: It is
amazing that you won countless titles as a 100% drug-free bodybuilder. You were
beating athletes who were not only taking steroids, but also prescription-grade
diuretics.
However, your drug-free status would change when you received that
fateful call from Joe Weider, who instructed you to “go see my doctor... he’ll
give you the supplements you need.” What you would receive, as you wrote in
your book, was a shot of the steroid Deca Durabolin.
Do you
think, as Joe Weider was herding his athletes in to see “the doctor” that he
had any idea the impact drugs like these would have on the sport for decades to
come?
RR: I was
in my own world of training and developing my physique, I had no clue what
steroids were.
I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT YOU BUILD YOUR BODY
WITH GOOD NUTRITION, HARD WORK
AND VISUALIZATION OF WHAT YOU WANTED
YOUR BODY TO LOOK LIKE
I would
envision what I wanted my body to look like and I worked towards it.
I entered
all those shows. I didn’t win all of them, but the ones I didn’t place in, I
won all the body parts (best arms, chest, back, abs) and most muscular. I was
blessed with genetics that created a shockwave in bodybuilding.
I am sure
that Joe was aware of the echo he was creating in the world of bodybuilding,
when he directed us towards visiting his doctor, for the “supplements”.
All you
have to do is read the book about the 3rd Reich in Germany, it
will tell you everything your want to know about Deca. It was widely used by
the German soldiers.
I was injected with 200 mg of Deca Durabolin every two
weeks with B-12, Calcium and Glutatione, intravenously. It
transferred my blessed natural genetics into a marvel that still stands out
today, even at the age of sixty-seven...
MY PHYSIQUE WAS MADE FOR BODYBUILDING

BY: It
really hit home for me when you talk in your book about Joe Weider and his
magazines being the initial inspiration for your to become a bodybuilding. Many
of us can really relate to that. It was those same sorts of images that planted
the seed in us, that if we worked hard enough, we could achieve the level of
health, fitness and physique that we dreamed about.
That being
said, later in the book there sits one of the most powerful and hard hitting
passages ever. It reads,
"... with Ben
Weider controlling the competitions, the IFBB and its worldwide affiliates, and
Joe’s magazine proclaiming himself the trainer of the champion. the Weiders had
successfully monopolized bodybuillding. Joe sent me, one of his top athletes,
to doctors who administrated steroids, just as Hitler was known to have done to
his soldiers, and to athletes before the 1936 Berlin Olympics. Joe’s propaganda
was convincing people around the world that they could achieve the physiques of
his stars by using his supplements and following the diets and routines printed
in his magazines. The part he left out was that these bodybuilding stars were
on steroids, not weight-gaining supplements, and that training and diet
protocols for a natural bodybuilder and one on steroids are completely
different. Joe ahd his Muscle Builder magazine were misleading fans and
aspiring bodybuilders, and I was part of the machine. Yet staying with the
Weider empire was the only way for me to realize the dreams I had dedicated my
life to... "

Robby, Joe
Weider, the undisputed "Godfather of Bodybuilding“ recently passed, leaving
behind his legacy. How should the thinking-man’s bodybuilder remember Joe
Weider?
RR: If I
had not gotten the letter from Joe, you nor others in the world, would have hear
about Robby Robinson. I never would have gotten far. I never would have won all
those big shows.
Yes, I did have some adversity, but it made me a stronger
person, both mentally and physically. I was glad to be part of the stable of
bodybuilders that Joe had assembled. I feel he earned the title “The Godfather
of Bodybuilding”.
THANK YOU, JOE
