Crazy thing is, I dont know when that pic was taken, but if you find a pic of him from present day. He damn near looks the same. This man is a phenomenon.

You have any more pics Chaos?

Great bodybuilder. If he had only hit his peak for the Olympia, he would have probably beat Zane. Inn 77, he was huge. The pics in Musclebuilder taken 3 months out made him look unbeatable. Probably was at his best there, but by the Olympia he had smoothed out. In 78, he was a little off at the O, but looked great at some of the smaller shows. In 79, he came in small and flat at the O, but again great at some other shows. However, he looked good up into his 50's and now still looks pretty good in his 60's.

In the movie Pumping Iron, there was a scene where Robby was tossing around a football. I'd love to a screen shot from that. His arms were phenomenal. That got me first interested in bodybuilding.
