IRON GAME LEGENDS - ROBBY ROBINSON TALKS EXERCISE METHODS AND OLD SCHOOL TRAINING WITH OTHER LEGENDS OF THE GOLDEN AGE OF BODYBUILDING

WHEN I TRAIN I WANT EVERY MUSCLE TO BE VISIBLE, SO WHEN A JUDGE SAYS, "GIVE ME YOUR BEST DOUBLE BICEP SHOT" I WANT MUSCLE TO JUST JUMP OUT OF NOWHERE. 

I AM ALWAYS THINKING AND VISUALIZING, I WANT TO FREAK THEM SUCKERS OUT, THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN SAYING IN THE GYM.

The Interview 

—————————————–

BK: How many sets do you recommend per body part?

RR: For big muscle groups I can say 15-20 because they need to be taxed, however a lot of people try to do too many exercises. 

I try to stick with 2-3 exercises for each body part, but if I am getting close to competition, I may increase it by one. However, that one exercise is something that will really try to create a change in my physique such as something I have not done before and with high reps.  

THAT IS WHAT BODYBUILDING IS - REPETITION

ROBBY ROBINSON - TRAINING - BICEPS PEAK

● www.robbyrobinson.net//dvd_master_class.php ●

Bodybuilding is a lot of finding the exercise that targets the muscles so it responds best, when that happens you get a lot of response and your progress goes to the moon.  

But I see a lot of people doing exercises and I look at them thinking “What are you doing?..” - it is like wasting your time.  

BODY POSITION 

PLAYS A HUGE ROLE

IN BODYBUILDING

-- such as having an upper back arch in the right movements, or not having your arms out to the side during barbell curls and keeping them close to the body.  

THAT IS MY WHOLE CONCEPT ABOUT BODYBUILDING:

ROBBY ROBINSON - BICEPS PEAK - 70S
● www.robbyrobinson.net/dvd_built.php ●

• BODY POSITION
  .
• A LOT OF VARIETY
  .
• LIGHT WEEKS - HEAVY WEEKS
  .
• ALTERNATING REPETITION RANGES 

Sometimes I may just pick one exercises and do 7 sets of 7, or do shoulder presses with only 30 seconds of rest or heavy with a minute to a minute 45 seconds of rest - this way the body does not get  used to any one method.

Another thing is positive self-talk, I definitely think you need to talk positive to yourself during your training to get one or two more reps and push harder. 

ROBBY ROBINSON AND MIKE O'HEARN
HEAVY TRAINING AT GOLD'S, CA 2013
● www.robbyrobinson.net//master-class.php ●

There are just a lot of things I just do not see bodybuilders doing anymore, I am not sure exactly where it comes from, but it is definitely not typical bodybuilding. They are just not using the typical things that actually build muscle.

I have been training with Mike O'Hearn the past few weeks and the routines are definitely long and intense.  

Around 4-5 exercises per body part, sometimes more and the body will definitely respond to that up to a certain point before it will not. 

Then you have to find another way to stimulate it through things like resting a bit longer between sets.

• Chest -2-3 exercises
  .
• Back 3-4 exercises
  .
• Triceps- 2-3 exercises
  .
• Biceps- 2-3 exercises
  .
• Shoulders- 2-3 exercises

Ab Training – 

To me ab training is hanging leg raises 5 sets of 10-15 every other day. I am not really into the whole ab thing because it really comes down to nutrition and how you eat. 

Sticking with crunches and abdominal raises along with eating properly will most definitely tighten and develop the abdominal area.  Another thing is staying properly hydrated. There again, I am just really trying to find the exercise that targets the muscle well for me.

BK: What are some of the most unique exercise methods you have seen work?

RR: How Mike Menzter used Heavy Duty training. I have just always thought that was very interesting to this day. The negative part of the movement should definitely be focused on, letting the weight be lowered back into position over a certain time period.  

MIKE MENTZER - HEAVY DUTY TRAINING
HEAVY BARBELL BICEPS CURLS
● www.robbyrobinson.net/books.php ●

I began implementing that into my training even more so and seeing the results. 

Really focusing on it the last few sets, of course I am emphasizing it throughout the workout, but especially those last few sets. 

I think, that plays a huge role in building some huge and dense muscle tissue.

Mike had a unique vision, and he and I were thrust at each other in those days because we both had balanced and symmetrical physiques, and both were valid for that top spot. Therefore, it was always a battle between him and me. 

"IRON MIKE" MENTZER AND ROBBY ROBINSON
● www.robbyrobinson.net/motivation.php ●

However, he did do a little bit more then was published at the time, because you know he had to. 

He would have to a couple extra more reps or drop sets preparing for those competitions.

But yea, that negative has and always will be very important in building a muscular physique. 

It is like doing a squat, you cannot just flop it into it, you have to move into it to get that positive and the negative effect. I think that is with any movement such as chins, Barbell Rows, Curls, Bench Press - any movement you perform.

BK: Do you have any general tips for taking a persons physique to the next level? I know you are a big fan of posing to bring out muscular detail and growth.

RR: You are what you think, you have to really think about bodybuilding, you have to think about having a big arm or chest or more muscular physique. 

Robby Robinson, Joe Weider; Mike Mentzer, Dan Padilla; Franco Columbu
● www.robbyrobinson.net/books.php ●

You have to think about all these things.  But you have to also practice all the parts: you have to eat, you have to rest, you have to keep a positive mind, work on your posing - you  just have to practice all the parts. 

As I said, bodybuilding is just repetition, you have to just keep going over these things. But visualization is my number one thing because the more you visualize something consistency throughout training it comes to be.  

You cannot just do the exercise like most folks, you have to create the image by visualizing the exercise, and how you want the physique to look.

BK: I think that is something that has been lost by many people today.

RR: Yea, you have to feel what you are doing. It is the same thing as a relationship: if you want to love someone or something, you have to feel the movement. 

ROBBY ROBINSON - REAR DOUBLE BICEPS SHOT
● www.robbyrobinson.net/dvd_built.php ●

I am in touch with the muscle fibers, I am in touch with the exercise, I am in touch with the barbell. When I train  my  Back I want every muscle on my back to be visible, so when a Judge says “Give me your best double bicep shot” I want muscle to just jump out of nowhere.  

I am always thinking and visualizing, I want to freak them suckers out, that is exactly what I have always been saying in the gym. It is inside of you, you just have to reach down there and grab it. 

You cannot just say, “Oh I am just going to go ahead and train my chest, I don’t feel like it but I will go ahead”, you have to visualize and make it a reality or you might as well not go in the gym.

SERGE NUBRET, FRANCO COLUMBU, ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER
Mr Olympia 1973 ● www.robbyrobinson.net/consultation.php ●

You have to have to have this attitude of tenacity. Tenacity is something you have to stir up inside of yourself. 

That is what we had back in the old days with Arnold, Ed Corney, Franco Columbu,  Kenny Waller,  Serge Nubret….  I mean I can keep naming all day.

If you ever did a set of leg exercises with Arnold, he would just stand there for a minute and wonder if you were going to fall down or get your reps. 

The same thing with myself, If my goal is 20 reps I am going to get my 20 reps.

You just have to have it made up in your mind, this is what I want to achieve, this is what I want to do, and you do it.

BK: That is like Tom Platz , he was always really hardcore about legs.

"Golden Eagle" Tom Platz
● www.robbyrobinson.net/books.php ●

RR: Yes, I am glad you mentioned him. The thing with Tom Platz was he was just an absolute beast, it was like take no prisoners with him, take them all out right there, and that is how Tom was.  

I used to love to train around Tom. Yea that would be amazing, he said the squat rack was like a temple where he would go to live or die. 

Oh yea, he would put on a show, not even intending to it is just what he does.  

People would just stand around looking at him; people would just forget they were training and watch Tom or me.

BK: I know you have always said posing brings out the muscle detail, any more on that subject?

RR: Posing makes everything easier and gives you comfort, it is almost like meditation for the body.  

Ed Corney, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Franco Columbo
● www.robbyrobinson.net/dvd_built.php ●

If you work on those poses when you have to hit them when a judge calls you out  you should already be proud  because you already put in that work.  

Posing is really a final polish you put on that physique - back in those days we would pose after every session.  You see that is why we had that extra, because we worked on it, we did not just go in the gym, train, and leave.   

Especially before competition, that was done for 90 consecutive days every day after you workout, there was no backing off or “Oh I am not feeling it today “. 

We did it every single day…. Ed Corney started out by doing his part, then Arnold ,  then  Ken Waller ect, we would all be right there,   

By competition we didn’t even think about holding water,  we were just so tight and dense we would get that pump up and eat a couple tablespoons of raisins and that was it.

BK: So the mental drills were something you would just do all day every day correct?

RR: Oh yea, they were something you would do every single day, there was no lay off whether you are off-season or on season. 

Robby Robinson, Ed Corney, Arnold Schwarzenegger

● www.robbyrobinson.net//anabolic-pack.php ●

The focus was there, it was as if you were going to school every single day. There was just a meditative part to it, when you are done and go home you would sit there.

BK: What is your stance on the right amount of cardio? Especially for someone already relatively lean just trying to gain mass.

RR: I have never really gotten into cardio, the most cardio we would do is going to the steps in Santa Monica by walking, sprinting, or jogging them.  

Nowadays people want to do aerobics because they want to eat more, cheat on their meals, and think, "well, if I walk for 45 minutes - that will get rid of it."

● www.robbyrobinson.net//anabolic-pack.php ●

There is nothing wrong with aerobics, you definitely need it, just not to the extent I see people doing it. 

People do it for 45 minutes and sometimes hours, which to me doesn’t make sense. 

I mean, if you are lean and muscular it should be easy for the body to stay in this condition.  

Keeping the body in a certain level of body fat, even in the off-season at least 10 to 12 % - this makes it easier for the body to adjust to get into competition shape again. 

Some people - they get so fat, they get a big belly,  - no disrespect to them but to me that just makes it much harder each year.

BK: So you were never into bulking or cutting and the such.

RR: Nah, I have always been lean and muscular, my best competition bodyweight was 215 pounds.   So for me to get into that body into the kind of astonishing competition shape is about 8 weeks.

THE POWER OF GLUTAMINE MAKES A BODY BIG!

POWERFUL NUTRIENTS – GLUTAMINE

I AM A BIG, BIG BELIEVER IN GLUTAMINE SUPPLEMENTATION. I THINK, ALL BODYBUILDERS SHOULD BE USING A FREE-FORM L-GLUTAMINE SUPPLEMENT EVERY DAY.

MY PHYSIQUE IS GLUTAMINE-BUILT

-- 20/30 GRMS 45-MIN BEFORE YOUR HVY BACK, CHEST AND LEG DAYS --

IT'S A MUST!

●  www.robbyrobinson.net/anabolic-pack.php ●

I TAKE IT BEFORE AND AFTERWARDS TRAINING.

WHY?

BECAUSE IT HELPS TO RESTORE THE GLUTATHIONE LEVELS IN THE BODY AND LIVER, HELPING IT TO REGENERATE, COOL OFF! AND RECYCLE THE OTHER ANTIOXIDANTS PUTTING THE BODY BACK INTO THE BUSINESS OF BUILDING MUSCLE.

MY OWN ESTIMATE -

THIS IS ONE REASON I NEVER GET COLDS OR FLU. 
IT'S BEEN YEARS.

40 GRMS TWICE A DAY IS MY INTAKE.

YOU CAN REPLENISH ALL THE VITAL NET WORKS OF THE BODY SYSTEMS. 

15 GRMS OF GLUTAMINE - MORE LIKE A CHILD DOASGE, BUT MEGA DOSAGES TAKEN FOR A LONG PEROID WILL TRIGGER LOSE WATERY STOOL..

1 KILO GLUTAMINE
IS A PART OF RR-7-PACK
 www.robbyrobinson.net/anabolic-pack.php

IF YOU ARE 

• EATING BAD, 
• NOT DRINKING ENOUGH WATER, 
• DRINKING ALCOHOL, 
• EATING SUGAR OR 
• NOT GETTING ENOUGH REST 

-- THEN YOUR GLUTAMINE LEVELS MUST BE VERY LOW.

THIS IS WHY SO MANY GET SICK AND ARE SLOW TO RECOVER.

TO BUILD AND RETAIN MUSCLE TISSUE THE AMOUNTS OF 3 T0 5 SCOOPS TWICE A DAY ON EMPTY STOMACH. JUICE OR WATER GETS THE JOB DONE.

TAKING 5-TSP OR MORE A DAY OF GLUTAMINE DECREASES PROTEIN NEEDS SLIGHTLY, AS GLUTAMINE HELPS THE BODY USE PROTEIN MORE EFFECTIVELY.

GLUTAMINE DETOXIFIES YOUR BODY

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 3^rd 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...

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... "

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”.

STEROIDS INCREASE YOUR AGGRESSION, YOU HOLD MORE WATER IN THE BODY CELL. STEROID USE RAISES ONE’S MENTAL DISPOSITION, YOU BATTLE GOOD ATTITUDE / BAD ATTITUDE, AND DEPRESSION. I'M HEARING & READING ABOUT MORE DECEASES AND DEATHS FROM STEROID USE, EVEN MORE SO TODAY. 

WHEN YOU TAKE GROWTH HORMONES

• IT INCREASES THE INTERNAL ORGAN SIZE, 
• RETAINS FOOD IN THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM, INCREASING SIZE OF THE ORGANS.
• IT THICKENS THE CONNECTIVE TISSUE, BLOTTING OUT MUSCLE DETAILS. 

THAT IS THE REASON, ALL THE PHYSIQUES TODAY LOOK THE SAME.

MY HEALTH IS MY RESPONSIBILITY

IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY GOAL

IN MY CAREER I NEVER ENCOUNTERED ANY DEPRESSION, FATIGUE OR ANXIETY AFTER COMING OFF MY 8-WEEK OF ANABOLICS USE DURING MY CAREER. 

I SPOKE WITH FORMER IFBB PRO PRESIDENT; HE SAID, MANY PROS ARE ON ROIDS YEAR ROUND. I NEVER USED ANABOLIC STEROIDS IN THE OFF-SEASON. 

I WOULD SWITCH TO HERBS: 

• YOHIMBE, 
• DONG QUAI, 
• SAW-PALMETTO, 
• FALSE UNICORN, 
• ASTRAGALUS, 
• GINSENG HAWTHORN BERRIES, 
• MILK-THISTLE, 
• ALFALFA AND 
• YERBA MATE. 

I WOULD GRIND THEM INTO A NATURAL ANABOLIC HERBAL MIX. 

MORE FOOD AND REST BETWEEN SETS 

WAS MY MOTTO IN THE OFF SEASON

I STARTED MY STUDY OF HERBS AND SUPPLEMENTS BACK IN FLORIDA AS A YOUNG MAN. I INCLUDE THEIR USE WHEN WORKING WITH CLIENTS TO ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS, WHETHER IT'S THEIR LONGEVITY, WELLNESS OR FITNESS. 

• ASTRAGALUS, 
• HAWTHORNE, 
• GOTA KOLA, 
• HORSETAIL, 
• HYDRANGEA ROOT, 
• MILK THISTLE, 
• PARSLEY, 
• SARSAPARILLA ROOTS, 
• SAW PALMETTO, 
• YOHIMBE, 
• GINGO LEAVES, 
• DONG QUAI AND 
• DANDELOIN ROOT 

- TO NAME A FEW. 

HAVING USED DIFFERENT HERB MIXTURES ON MY OWN PHYSIQUE FOR OVER 38 YEARS IS THE REASON I’VE SURVIVED STEROID USE AND SEIZURES, CAUSED FROM A HEAD INJURY. 

HOW YOU TAKE HERBS AND SUPPLEMENTS

ALONG WITH SOUND NUTRITION 

CREATES THE HEALING PROCESS

I’M NOT TRYING TO LIVE FOREVER, BUT YOU CAN CURE YOUR ILLNESS AND BE A PICTURE OF HEALTH AND LONGEVITY. THAT SHOULD BE OUR GOAL AS WE AGE. I’VE ACHIEVED THAT!

KNOWLEDGE IS EMPOWERMENT 

NOT JUST FOR YOURSELF 

BUT TO SHARE WITH OTHERS

TO BE IN THE ELITE, YOU HAVE TO TAKE RISKS AND HOPEFULLY COME OUT HEALTHY. I HAVE NEVER CONDONED STEROID USE. 

BACK IN THE DAY WE WERE ALL ON THE SAME PROGRAM. THERE WERE NO SECRET ROIDS THAT RR, DENNY GABLE, ARNOLD, ZANE OR FRANCO WERE USING. WHEN YOU ARE BLESSED WITH GREAT GENETICS, MODERATE AMOUNTS OF ANABOLICS IN THOSE DAYS WAS THE NORM.

BACK IN THE DAY WE WERE ALL CONTROLLED: DECA EVERY 2 WEEKS, IN-BETWEEN PRIMO-DEPOT, CALCIUM AND B-12 – INTRAVENOUS, FOR 90 DAYS. THE FIRST INJECTION OF DECA STAYS IN YOUR SYSTEM FOR 18 MONTHS. 

I ROTATED BETWEEN THESE 3 ITEMS DURING MY 27 YEAR CAREER AND I WAS SMART - LOW DOSAGES, TIMED - EVERY TWO WKS. MY CYCLES ONLY LASTED 8 WEEKS AS A PRO- BODYBUILDER.

I HAVE NEVER USED GH, INSULIN OR TESTOSTERONE.

THAT WAS DIFFERENT THAN WHAT THE OTHER BB-ERS WERE USING.

ANABOLIC STIMULATION ACCOMPLISHES VERY LITTLE WITHOUT THE RIGHT DOSAGES OF NUTRIENTS, TRAINING, SUPPLEMENTATION AND FOCUSED MINDSET. THESE ROIDS WERE INCREASING THE OVERALL COSMETIC EFFECT ON MY PHYSIQUE.

THE ONLY DRUG THAT BUILDS MUSCLE 

IS HARD WORK, CONSISTENTLY

THERE ARE SO MANY BODYBUILDERS, THAT MADE THE CHOICE, THAT ARE NO LONGER HERE WITH US. THERE IS A WHOLE GENERATION COMING IN AFTER I AM LONG GONE. HOPEFULLY, THEY WILL DECIDE WHAT ROAD THEY WILL TAKE.

I TOOK THE CHANCE - FAITH GAVE ME A LUCKY #, BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MANY WHO CAME THROUGH THE WALL WITH ME - THEY ARE NO LONGER HERE. 

I FEEL BLESSED TO END MY CAREER HEALTHY, ENERGETIC, FULL YOUTHFULNESS. AND EXCITED ABOUT LIFE.

I AM 67 - NEVER HAD ANY TYPE OF INJURY TO ANY OF MY JOINTS OR CONNECTIVE TISSUE. BLESSED WITH NO HEALTH ISSUES AT ALL.

NOTHING BEATS FEELING HEALTHY AT 67 - 

I AM A VERY LUCKY HUMAN BEING...

MUSCLE IS ACHIEVED 

THROUGH FOCUS AND HARD WORK

THERE IS NO COMBINATION OF STEROIDS 

THAT WILL BUILD A MUSCULAR PHYSIQUE

IT IS BETTER TO PUSH SUPPLEMENTS THAN DRUGS

I ENJOY TELLING MY SENIOR MATES ABOUT THEIR IMPORTANCE. IT IS UP TO THE YOUNG GUNZ TO MAKE THEIR OWN DECISION. 

AT 67 - THE RIGHT AMOUNTS OF FAT, PROTEIN, CARBS, INTENSE WORKOUTS AND SUPPLEMENTATION BUILD MUSCLE. YOU JUST HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO USE THEM CORRECTLY. 

YOU CAN TAKE DRUGS UNTIL YOU DROP -

NOTHING BEATS CONSISTENT HARD WORK

I DON'T HATE STEROIDS. 

IT'S YOUR CHOICE WHAT YOU PUT IN YOUR BODY. 

MANY CAN'T PERFORM WITHOUT THEM. 

CAN YOU?...
