Post by: Dan-O on February 07, 2006, 09:49:46 PM: Eddie Robinson was a rare genetic freak, a bodybuilding wunderkind who won his first bodybuilding contest (Teen Mr. Largo) without ever having lifted a weight.

Any old-timers who remember will back me up on that... I'm not making it up.

Post by: gibberj2 on February 07, 2006, 10:31:42 PM: I guess since nobody has said it yet I will. That first picture is kinda strange. He looks like he's butt naked and he's holding a big wood covering his crotch. does it have a hidden message.

Post by: hifrommike on March 31, 2006, 08:33:59 AM: Eddie could consider the Pro Masters show. It is set up along Masters O lines.
Title: Re: What do you think of Eddie's physique?
Post by: HotRodMan on March 31, 2006, 11:49:39 AM: Dan-O:

I'm not sure whether Eddie won his first-ever contest or not, but I trained with Eddie, along with a guy named Dennis McDuffy, in early 1983 for the Mr.Gulfcoast contest. Eddie competed in the Teenage division, Dennis and I in the Novice. Eddie had just gotten back from a Christmas visit to Ohio and trained only 4 or 5 weeks for the show. His tanning consisted of applying a coat of bronzer that he had purchased at Maas Brothers the morning of the contest. But Eddie did not win, he was third; the teenage winner was Gary Beachum, I think. However, Eddie clearly had the most potential and was already the best proportioned athlete on stage that day, including the Open and Novice classes.

By 1984 Eddie had gained about 50 additional pounds of muscle and was on his way.
Title: Re: What do you think of Eddie's physique?
Post by: Hulkster on April 18, 2006, 05:16:29 PM: I remember reading an interview in WBF magazine where Eddie stated that he was "trying to be like Tom Platz" in that he was going for 50 rep squats with 315 pounds. Apparently, at the time, the most he got up to was 37 (which is massive!)- now we know how he got his HUGE legs.

Secondly, I recall reading that Eddie won a grand prix pro show (Niagra falls??) but later read that he never won a pro show.

Did he or didn't he?

His arms were insane - at the first WBF show he should have placed second to Gary Strydom.

Post by: Jr. Yates on April 18, 2006, 11:44:26 PM: Eddie is incredable! i have an old issue of flex with him and rich gaspari doing tricep extensions with the 200. I love Eddie's attitude when it came to balls to the wall training.
Title: Re: What do you think of Eddie's physique?
Post by: Harry R. M. Pitts on April 19, 2006, 06:41:39 AM: I beleive I read in Muscle Mag a while back that he is a tatoo artist now? He said in the interview that he is going into cosmetic surgery-permanent makeup?

I recall reading that had it been a sanctioned lift, it would have been a record for that weight class. (from his WBF mag. article)
