I took those photos when I was 15 at his bb camp with Mike Katz in 1978.We had some rich guy in our group who kept complaining how much pain he was in when Robby had us running up and down hills, outside, with cinder blocks in our hands and having us curl them on the way down, pressing them on the way up...dropping 'em and continuing to run till you could do no more.Well,,we were loving it except for the whiny rich guy.Robby got so sick of him that he had us gather around, and he told us the Viet Nam story...even ripped his pants down to show us the bayonette scar.Never saw the rich dude after that.
what kind of a bodybuilding workout is that?
Not only would you not see a physique like that today, but look at the condition he's in just for offseason! The tie-ins, the shape of the muscle bellies....damn.
Great pic's Thanks
He got a hell fine back in 79 when he had everything paid for and didn't turn up at a Pro World show out in Australia Callender went on to win but most where there to see Robby,and that Nam story is a fact one tough dude.One of the all time BEST.
No, thank YOU for enlarging them!
Yeah...will do...I have shots I took as a kid personally of Coe, Tinnerino,Katz, Szkalak, Dreher...and even Lou Ferrigno's father, Matt!.....gotta scan 'em first...will do so soon.
Well, that sounds like Robby.And, yes...that Nam story is the real thing. I heard it from him first person a few times...it was also recounted in one of the old Muscle Builders.
Yes...you were at the Aussie show? Great!He was another who could have/should have trounced Franco in the 81 Olympia.And a very nice guy....you can also see him in the 68 Universe lineup, won by Zane in Florida, with big A in second....
Not another post from you sir till it includes more pics.
Moosejay any more pictures?
Yup...see above posts...I'll get a bunch of oldies together tomorrow and have my gal scan 'em and then put 'em up....cheers.
