MY PITCH ON THE UPPER BACK ARCH

WHEN IT COMES TO DEVELOPING A GREAT PHYSIQUE, BUILDING THE UPPER BACK POSITIONING HAS BEEN ONE OF THE KEY COMPONENTS IN MY ARSENAL. DURING MY COMPETITIVE CAREER, THIS MECHANICALLY SOUND POSITION KEPT ME INJURY FREE. IT’S THE MANDATORY BODY POSITION THAT SHOULD BE MAINTAINED IN ALL EXERCISES. TO NAME A FEW: PRESSES, SQUATS, CURLS, DEADS. IT’S WHAT BUILDS A SHELF TO YOUR CHEST AND DISSIPATES THE STRESS LOAD EVENLY OVER THE SPINE. 

THAT’S HOW ARNOLD HAD ONE OF THE GREATEST SIDE CHEST SHOTS IN THE BUSINESS. HE WORKED HARD ON HIS UPPER BACK ARCH, ALONG WITH HIS VISION, DESIRE AND PASSION. HIS USE OF EXCELLENT FORM AND TECHNIQUE TOGETHER WITH THE UPPER BACK ARCH WHEN IT CAME TO EXECUTING EXERCISE MOVEMENTS GRANTED HIM HIS SUCCESS. YOU NEVER SAW HIM THROWING WEIGHT AROUND. HE CONTROLLED THE UP AND DOWN ACTION. 

YOU CAN’T DEVELOP THAT KIND OF MUSCLE 

WITHOUT ALL THE PARTS IN PLACE.

PEACE, ROBBY

3 WEEKS TO FIRST SHOW IN CANADA

LUCK IS WHAT’S LEFT OVER AFTER YOU GIVE 100%

● www.robbyrobinson.net/books.php ●

WITH 3 WEEKS TO GO BEFORE THE FIRST SHOW IN CANADA, THERE’S A LOT OF EXCITEMENT. CHRIS "CC" CORMIER’S HARD WORK IS PAYING OFF. 

● www.robbyrobinson.net/motivation.php ●

TO SEE HIM PUSHING HIMSELF DAY IN AND DAY OUT IS MOTIVATIONAL IN ITSELF. 

HIS FANS AT GOLD'S HAVE BEEN GIVING HIM A VERBAL SHOW OF SUPPORT IN HIS HARD WORK TO ACHIEVE THOSE LAST ONE OR TWO REPS THAT EVERY CHAMPION SHOULD BE GETTING. 

HE SAID TO ME TODAY THAT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOW'S HE'S TRAINING TODAY WITH EMPHASIS ON FORM AND CONTROLLED MOVEMENTS RATHER THAN JUST MOVING THE WEIGHT - IS NIGHT AND AND DAY. 

EVEN THOUGH WE WERE HANDLING HEAVIER WEIGHT TIMES PAST, "THE REPS TODAY ARE LEGIT." 

QUALITY REPS

MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD.

● RR' BUILT DOUBLE-DVD ●

IT IS AMAZING TO SEE ANOTHER CHAMPION’S PHYSIQUE ROUNDING INTO CHAMPIONSHIP FORM. 

BEING A PART OF THIS CONFIRMS THAT 

- HARD WORK,
- PASSION AND
- MINDSET 

IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WINNING AND LOSING AND BEING IN THAT FIRST CALL OUT. 

LUCK IS WHAT’S LEFT OVER AFTER YOU GIVE 100%.

HIT THE IRON

PLATEAU

WHEN YOU HIT WHAT APPEARS TO BE A PLATEAU IN YOUR TRAINING AND YOU START TO FAIL TO PRODUCE MUSCLE GAINS FROM YOUR TRAINING, CARDIO, EATING AND SUPPLEMENTATION PROGRAMS, IT’S TIME TO GO BACK TO YOUR DRAWING BOARD

Robby's philosophy on bodybuilding,
training and healthy lifestyle,
and his old-school workout approach
● www.robbyrobinson.net/dvd_built.php ●

VARIETY IS THE METHOD I HAVE ALWAYS USED TO KICK-START MY EXCITEMENT LEVEL BOTH MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY. 

THE MIND AND BODY THRIVE ON CONSISTENCY BUT THEN WILL TIRE OF THINGS AFTER A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME. 

I’LL MAKE LITTLE TWEAKS IN ONE OR MORE AREAS. 

YOU HAVE TO TRICK

THE BODY AND MIND

INTO NEW LEVELS OF

DEVELOPMENT

TAKING TIME OFF ALSO CAN RENEW THE TRAINING FIRE. 

BE PATIENT - STEROIDS USE 

WON'T HELP YOU GET THERE QUICKER, 

BUT HARD WORK WILL

MY BEST IDEA
FOR GETTING MOTIVATED IN EVERY WORKOUT IS 

BEING UNAFRAID

TO TRY DIFFICULT
THINGS
AND

KNOWING

I’VE BUILT THE
FOUNDATION
TO ACHIEVE MY GOAL 

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

BODYBUILDING IS A MENTAL THING

TREAT YOURSELF AS IF YOU ALREADY ARE WHAT YOU’D LIKE TO BE. 

YOU ALWAYS HAVE A CHOICE OF WHAT YOU ALLOW INTO YOU MIND. 

WISDOM IS AVOIDING ALL THINGS THAT WEAKEN YOU.

SPECIAL THANKS TO VENICE ARTIST, LEE ANN GOYA FOR CREATING THIS PIECE FOR ME. HER CHARACTER'S NAME IS MUCHAS.

TRAINING WITH CHRIS CORMIER FOR THE BIG "O" HAS BEEN INTENSE AND BODY SMASHING. 

Robby Robinson - The King of Big Backs
● www.robbyrobinson.net/dvd_built.php ●

BACK DAY; 4 DIFFERENT EXERCISES TAKEN PAST THE PAIN BARRIER WHERE QUALITY GROWTH TAKES PLACE. 

FOCUS IS ON QUALITY REPS THAT ARE CONTROLLED AND CRAFTED FROM THE FIRST REP TO THE LAST. 

THERE IS NOTHING LIKE HAVING WHATEVER MUSCLE GROUP YOU ARE TRAINING, EVERY FIBER, PUMPED TO THE CORE WITH BLOOD. 

THESE ARE THE LEVELS CHRIS AND I ARE TAKING OUR PHYSIQUES. 

BEING BLUNT AS I HAVE BEEN WITH CC, NONE OF HIS COMPETITORS ARE DOING THE LITTLE THINGS THAT IT TAKES TO BE KING OF THE HILL; THE BIG "O". 

HE HAS MY RESPECT FOR TAKING HIS TRAINING INTENSITY TO ANOTHER LEVEL. THAT'S WHAT A WINNER DOES IN HIS QUEST TO BE CHAMPION.

BODYBUILDING MISTAKES

2. NOT MAKING WORKOUTS FUN

IF YOU DON’T MASTER THIS ASPECT, YOU WON’T CONTINUE TO WORK HARD. KEEP THE MIND UP AND EXCITED BY FUELING IT WITH POSITIVE THOUGHTS AND CORRECT EATING HABITS AND SUPPLEMENTATION. MAKE YOUR PROGRAM WORK FOR YOU. STAY ON IT AND LOVE IT. WORKING OUT HAS ALWAYS BEEN FUN FOR ME.

PEACE, ROBBY

IF YOU HAVE INSPIRATION TO BE A SUCCESSFUL BODYBUILDER, ALL OF THE PIECES HAVE TO BE PRACTICED IN HARMONY. 

THE BIGGEST PIECE BEING - 

EATING RIGHT AND ON TIME
