I think he's coaching on-line, selling supps, book, dvd, etc...

Anyway, when you are so young and enjoy a great health for so long - who cares whether you are homeless or not.. Many ppl of that age would trade places with him for all their wealth in exchange.

He's still walking around at 250, a lot of people are speculating that a come back may be in the works.  Next October he may be peeling his package, Christmas could be coming a few months early in 2015 for us Cutz fans.  Don't go spreading this rumor though yet, let's wait for Jay himself to announce it officially.  he will tell us when it's time to get excited.

Age is a bugger. None of the past champs have retained much of their size. One of those things.

It isn't impossible, but Arnold and Robby are shadows of their former selves.

Someone told a story some time ago how he shouted "I fukkin' love GH!" out of a blue in golds, in 90's. I'm pretty sure he hasn't lost that love, far from it. Genetics of gods too, most people I know who are over 45, have some kind of injuries, and this one has none.

He grew up in the deep back woods of the south. He said he competed before he even heard about steroids. In his book he said he didn't use until he came to California.

Did you check out the getbigger doing "squats" in the back ground? 99% do these shallow little dips calling them a squat just like him.

Here's a little interesting tid bit. I am friends with Robby on Facebook. He posted pics from the 79 Florida Pro Cup of him and Mentzer. It was Mentzer's first pro show and he beat Robby and won the show with a perfect score. I told him I was there, and thought he absolutely should have won. He looked like he was carved out of black marble. He said he overheard one of the judges say, "we don't want a black to win". So Mentzer won he got 2nd. I know who the head judge was and he's dead now.

Broke is relative....I'm quite sure he doesn't have the money a person with his career should have had.....spent a lot of years posing in the mirror instead of working...I'm sure his Social Security payments will take a hit because of this

I actually met Robby Robinson in the early 1990's...I was working at the Vista Hotel in New York City...that hotel no longer exists because it was destroyed in the World Trade Center collapse....but I was working security there and recognized him from the bodybuilding mags I used to buy.....he was short and I was surprised because I thought he would be taller in real life...But he was really huge and solid........I approached him and shook his hand,,,,I knew he had recently competed in a contest and asked him where he had placed...he hesitated and looked embarrassed....he told me he came in 8th place but I later found out it was like 13th or 14th place...He was waiting around in the lobby and then this blonde white flight attendant walked in and he kissed her and they went upstairs....

I saw the same flight attendant at the hotel a few months later and said to myself "I guess Robby is here as well"...and he was....she was cute.....I remember her name was Inga....years later, about 7 years ago, I went to Robby's website and left a message for him...I told him I met him years earlier and that I remembered he used to run around with a flight attendant...He said he was no longer with her and that they had broken up due to her family's prejudice against him for being black

Age is a bugger. None of the past champs have retained much of their size. One of those things.

It isn't impossible, but Arnold and Robby are shadows of their former selves.

Arnold far more so than Robby. Have you seen what Arnold looks like these days? Than man's entire upper torso has completely compressed on him (he's down to around 5'10" from 6'1.5"). His face has aged 40 years in the last 10. He has no muscle mass/definition left whatsoever. Robby, while having lost a lot of muscle density, has still been able to maintain great condition overall, with a decent amount of muscularity and vascularity for a man of his age.
