Eddie is one of the # 1 guys on my list that should have won more shows with the IFBB & was shafted after defecting to the WBF

He looks insane there, except for the homoerotic posing obviously.

1984
Mr Teen USA - 1st
Mr Florida Bodybuilding Championships - 1st Overall
Poston's Bench Press Championships, 220lb class - 1st Best Lifter, 510 lbs
East Coast Strongman Championship - 1st
West Coast Bench Press Championship, 220lbs class - 1st, 525 lbs
Tampa Bench Press Championship, 220 lbs class - 1st Overall, 550lbs

1985
Buckeye Strong Man, 200lbs class - 1st Overall & Best Lifter, 575lbs Bench, 825lbs Squat
Florida State Bench Press Championship - 1st Best Lifter, 560lbs Bench
Jacksonville Strong Man, 220lbs class - 1st, 560lbs Bench

1986
Jacksonville PAL Bench Press Championship, 200lbs class - 575lbs BenchFucking A!
NPC Junior Teen Nationals, Heavyweight - 1st Overall
Florida State Body Building Championship - 2nd
Jacksonville PAL March of Dimes Bench Press - 1st Overall
Top Bench was 515lbs, so Eddie opened with 515lbs and did 8 reps, 1 for each disabled child at the show
Florida State Bench Press Rick Poston, 220lbs. class - 610lbs Bench
New world record in 220 lb. class (Teenage and Men's Open)

My career took off like a rocket in 1986 when I took a world record in the bench press at 5'8 and 220 pounds; I had pressed 575 and 610 pounds ranking me number one in the world. At that time I had channelled my strength to pursue a career in bodybuilding. Winning the Mr. Florida, Mr. America, and Mr. USA titles gave me professional recognition as one of the greatest pro bodybuilders and powerlifters in the world.

PLease....what he was given was a nice 2 year contract making ore money in those 2 years than he most likely would have made in 10 in the IFBB....He made the right choice.

Eddie was contracted for more than the 2 years of the WBF.

Eddie stayed on his contract AFTER the WBF folded as the ICO/PRO supplement spokesperson.

Eddie made more in 2 years with the WBF than Jay Cutler has made from ALL of his IFBB winnings.

Well, financially I can see your point.

Competitively...he was screwed.

The name of the game is getting paid....so I guess he came out on top. I still would have like to see what his full potential could have been.

"competitively" he screwed himself by never coming in top shape....we all would've liked to seen Eddie reach his true potential.

Eddie was a big guy for sure and incredibly thick and impressive in a shape sense but he had no cuts or detail whatsoever - he used to hold so much water - I don't understand why people are saying he should have won more shows.

rccs · « **Reply #18 on:** May 03, 2008, 04:22:17 AM »

Is Eddie Robinson still training? Very strong guy... I think that Robinson and Coleman are the strongest bbers ever...

The WBF was the Federation for The best of the rest...Anyone of those Guys would look nothing on an IFBB stage!!!!!!They do Look good for second level Bodybuilders..Even Strydom would struggle to make top 3 at any Big IFBB Show...Only sad thing was that a lot Bodubuilders with Personality left the IFBB.Christian,De Mey Mike Quinn Padila etc.
