YOU ARE A CANVAS

MY BODY - MY CANVAS

BODYBUILDERS OF THE YEAR 2008

ROBBY ROBINSON ON THE ADVERTISEMENT POSTER FOR
THE FIRST NIGHT OF THE CHAMPIONS IN NEW YORK, 1979
with other legends of the Golden Era of Bodybuilding:
Boyer Coe, Ed Corney, Bill Grant, Steve Michalik, don Modzelewski,
Joe Nazario, Danny Padilla and Dennis Tinerino
● www.robbyrobinson.net/books.php ●

What has happened to the crowd’s responses that I experienced in my first and second Night of the Champion wins - 1975-79? There would be crowds outside the theater doors. IT WAS MAGICAL!

● www.robbyrobinson.net/consultation.php ●

Overly adoring women and fans were running up and down the aisles. I wore a black cape with the "BLACK PRINCE" burned in the VELVET SILK. The fans would be trying to TEAR themselves a piece of the cape. I FELT LIKE A ROCK STAR. It was maddening.

MR OLYMPIA WINNER
"THA BLADE"
DEXTER JACKSON

Even at the ‘89 ARNOLD CLASSIC the fans were STANDING UP CHEERING DURING MY AND RICH GASPARI’S POSE DOWN. They were SCREAMING at the top of their lungs, “It’s yours, Robby!” with every mandatory pose. I LOVED IT! I still get goose bumps when I think of it. Those times are memorial for me - forever locked in my memory of flash backs.

After viewing the performances at the Mr. Olympia and the New York Pro show of winners, DEXTER “The Blade” JACKSON FIRST TIME WINNER and “The Marvelous One” MELVIN ANTHONY FIRST PRO WIN. 

NY PRO WINNER
"THE MARVELOUS ONE" 
MELVIN ANTHONY

Both displayed the top shape of the year. With conditioned physiques like theses in the line-up, I might start going to more bodybuilding competitions. 

MELVIN AND DEXTER GAVE BODYBUILDING THE SHOT IN THE ARM IT NEEDED. 

Finally the I.F.B.B. judges are allowing their better judgment do the right thing. 

ANY JUDGE FOR THE NPC / IFBB PRO DIVISION 

THAT CASTS HIS VOTE IN FAVOR OF

 A BODYBUILDER WITHA BLOATED GUT

SHOULD BE BANNED FROM JUDGING

LET'S START A NEW YEAR WITH A CLEAN SLATE!

BODYBUILDING IS ABOUT 
GENETICS, MUSCLE SIZE, 
BEAUTIFUL SHAPE IN EACH MUSCLE GROUP, 

DEEP SEPARATION BETWEEN MUSCLE GROUPS, 

MUSCLE DENSITY AND HARDNESS, 
TIGHT ALL-OVER

That’s the look I strived to achieve each time I decided to walk on stage during my 27 year career. 

6-PACK FROM TOP TO BOTTOM 

OR DON'T GET UP THERE - 

IT'S MANDATORY !

Being able to achieve this faded look of the old days is awe inspiring. Their performances got my blood boiling. SEEING THEM IN THAT KIND OF COMPETITIVE SHAPE brought back memories of the Bird Man, Arnold The Oak, Columbu, Corney, and The Black Prince himself. 

REAL BODYBUILDING HE-MEN

● www.robbyrobinson.net/books.php ●

As Bill Phillips wrote 10 years ago in his 3rd edition of book Sport Supplement Review, “The look from the golden age of bodybuilding would return.” His PREDICTION is now starting to become the reality of the future of BB. 

MY SPORT deserves to be honored in the same way as other sports are in the Olympics. TABLE TENNIS is in there. 

As I write this piece for my Blog, I can still hear Joe Weider’s conversations about HIS GOAL. But something clouded HIS vision SOMEWHERE IN THEIR SELFISHNESS and GREED TOOK OVER. 

THAT’S ALWAYS A BAD OMEN

PEACE, ROBBY

PILLARS OF POWER

● www.robbyrobinson.net/motivation.php ●

-1975 - PEOPLE WERE SO FREE AND HAPPY INSIDE / OUTSIDE OF THEMSELVES WITH NO TENSION IN THE AIR. 

I LOVED THOSE MOMENTS - KIND OF SPIRITUAL-LIKE. 

I’M SQUATTING BY THE SIDE DOOR IN THE FAMOUS GOLDS GYM ON PACIFIC AVE, JUST 80 STEPS FROM THE PACIFIC OCEAN, OBSERVING THE MASTERS OF THE GAME - ARNOLD "THE OAK", DENNY, WALLER, ZANE, COLUMBU AND BIRDSONG. 

WATCHING THEM GET INTO THEIR WORKOUTS WAS AN AMAZING SIGHT. I HAD A SMILE ON MY FACE AS I OBSERVED THEM PUMPING IRON.

I WANTED TO GET INTO THE FIRE -

I WANTED SOME OF THAT. 

AFTER BEING ASKED TO JOIN THEM, A SENSATION OF SKITTISHNESS OVERWHELMED ME. 

MY BARE FEET ON THE COOL CEMENT FLOOR WAS INTOXICATING. 

IT SEEMS AS IF IT WAS JUST YESTERDAY... 

THAT ONE MOMENT WHEN THEY INVITED ME INTO THEIR INTER-CIRCLE ENCOURAGED ME TO ACHIEVE LEGENDARY STATUS IN THE ART OF BODYBUILDING. 

THE MAIN REASON TO SET GOALS IS TO BECOME THE PERSON IT TAKES TO ACHIEVE THEM

and what really happened behind the scenes of Weider's empire - in RR's BOOK
"The BLACK PRINCE; My Life in Bodybuilding: Muscle vs. Hustle"
● www.robbyrobinson.net/books.php ●

THE ONLY LIMIT TO WHAT YOU CAN HAVE AND ACHIEVE IN YOUR LIFE IS THE SIZE OF YOUR IMAGINATION AND YOUR COMMITMENT TO MAKE IT A REALITY

FOCUS

STRENGTH OF A WOMAN GAVE ME STRENGTH

THE STRENGTH OF A WOMAN IS A SPECIAL STRENGTH. IT WORKS OUT IN SO MANY DIFFERENT WAYS THAN HER TESTOSTERONE DRIVEN MALE COUNTERPART. 

THE STRENGTH OF A WOMAN CAPTIVATED ME AT A VERY YOUNG AGE, OBSERVING MY MOTHERS STRENGTHS WHILE GROWING UP. 

SELF DRIVEN, BEAUTIFUL AND FULL OF ENERGY - THIS WOMAN COULD DO SO MUCH WITH SO LITTLE. SOME OF THE THINGS I OBSERVED WERE KIND OF SPIRITUAL-LIKE. AWESOME IN A CHILD’S WORLD. 

I STILL GET FLASHBACKS OF HER PERFORMANCES IN THE KITCHEN COOKING, DOING THE HOUSE AND FARM CHORES, USING THE HORSE TO PLOW ROWS FOR CORN AND TOMATOES, POTATOES AND STRING BEANS. 

SHE SPECIALIZED IN VEGETABLE GARDENING, THE ONE WITH EVERY KIND OF FRESH VEGETABLE ON THE MARKET. ALL THE NEIGHBORS BROUGHT VEGGIES FROM HER - 7 DAYS A WEEK SHE MADE A LIVING FROM IT FOR YEARS. 

I CREDITED MY MOTHER FOR MY SUCCESSES. SHE GAVE ME THE COURAGE TO GO AFTER WHAT I MOST DESIRED - BODYBUILDING, COVERS OF MUSCLE BUILDER AND FLEX MAGAZINES AND FINANCIAL SECURITY. 

I THINK MY MOTHER MADE IT CLEAR THAT YOU HAVE TO LIVE LIFE BY YOUR OWN TERMS AND NOT WORRY ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK. 

YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE COURAGE TO DO THE UNEXPECTED - YOU HAVE TO PROVE YOURSELF AND WORK TWICE AS AS HARD AS EVERYONE ELSE.
