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.

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.
