Seems like he's on some excess chicken breast lately. Arms in a side chest doesn't look all that far from his peak.

They barely have him any screen time in Pumping Iron but you can see he has superior genetics every time they even scan the camera past him. Probably the best of anyone in that film besides Arnold.

Pretty great when you are 70 and still considered a real athlete. Only bodybuilding can provide this.

One of my favorites of all time. Having visited Tallahassee, I have no idea how he was able to train there in the 60s. Makes his achievements even more spectacular imo.

Has RObbIE a genetic defect so he can't store any subcutanious fat??

But he does have a heart condition. I remember in Muscle and Fitness back in the late 70s they had an article on one of his attacks where he was rushed to the hospital. They mentioned how the nurse freaked out looking at his arm.

Arnold I get, but I NEVER understood the FDB fapping that went on about Sergio. Yes, he was wide, good lats and tris, but his biceps sucked. Zero peak. I'm sorry, but a good FDB had to have that dramatic peak. Like Arnold or Robbie.

While true, Robbie was on another level.

I agree he lacked peak, but his arms were huge.

A planet with shitty peak-less biceps. This is what a biceps looks like:

Arthur Jones said that Sergio's bicep insertions were so low, that he could not fully flex his arm.
Thus, no peak.

Oh brother. What a crackhead you are. You probably think that Sergio was natural too and that's why you are fapping to his shapeless upper arms.

Sergio to me was a big, massive block. I too never understood the adulation.

Just that.
He was such a freaky, physical specimen that you simply couldn't overlook him.
Doesn't even come close to Arnold as far as stage quality arms but he absolutely blew away everyone else for the couple years before that.

For my money, this man was the greatest bodybuilder of that era:

I guess he considers HRT natural, since so many 70 years old guys are doing it now.

Spinal compression. When people age and start to shrink, their spine collapses on itself and the upper torso gets shorter and compressed resulting in an expansion width wise. You can see it in Arnold who has lost several inches.

He was born on May 1946 so he's going to be 70 years old this year.
Amazing!

Dude weighed 180-200 pounds in competition at 5'9"-5'9.5". Skinny guy, but crazy genetics nonetheless.

so he had 2 full inches on Mike, not too shabby

I think it was pericarditis (sp) I read it when I was a kid. the sac around his heart would fill up with fluid.

no, just a ''getting a job'' defect
-

Are you sure about that? "On", used to this context, refers to a function of time. That's why you would say "I need you to be 'on' time." Instead of "I need you to be 'in' time". Or say, "The game is "on" Sunday" instead of "The game is 'in' Sunday."
"In" refers to inclusion within a space or a place. Say, I specified a day. Would I say he was born "on" the 19th or born "in" the 19th. I was born "on" a Monday or I was born "in" a Monday.
Say, I included the exact day of Robbie's birth. Would I say, "Robbie was born 'on' May 24th 1946" or "Robbie was born 'in' May 24th 1946."?
I remember solving (or trying to solve) a Math problem on a test during my college day. The solution was running long and I was running out of room. So I wrote "continues in back" and my professor using a red pen scratched the in and wrote in a big "ON" instead.
BTW, I am looking forward to watching UFC 196 which is being held "on" March 5th, 2016.

How does he support himself? He's old enough for S.S. and he's supposed to be a personal trainer.
Maybe he makes some ching from his website.

Don't be so hard on yourself. You looked freaky.

If only. I would give my left nut to have pipes and peaks like Arnold.

That would throw your symmetry waaay off.

He still looks great but many people don't realize how short Robbie really is. It is easier to maintain what appears to be a balanced physique in pics when you are shorter.

True, and seriously, if was gonna give up one of The Boys, it's gonna be for rhe whole Arnold-in-his-prime package.
-

I know that Mike claimed to only have 18 5/8" arms, but that must have been competition weight. Robbie claimed 20.5" at his peak. He may have had less, just going on what they both claimed.
-

I'm also about the same height. I was 5'10" (more 5'9.5" these days). I've weighed as much as 240. I look best at a lower bodyweight too (200 pounds). Quantity doesn't always equal quality.
-

Robbie was close to 5'9" as a young man. Today at 70 he's probably somewhere between 5'7" and 5'8".

Nowadays, bbers in the 5'9" - 5'10" height routinely get over 260l lbs off season. How did Arnold get so big at over six feet and didn't seem to get over 250 lbs off season?

Because he would get off the juice in the off season, then step on the gas for contest prep. Kevin Levrone style.

When he got off juice he got smaller. Barely 210 lbs. At 250 lbs he was huge.It's only in '75 and '80 that he grew into a show. In the early 70s when bbing was his main focus he was pretty huge year round.

Robby is or at least was 5'8". I have stood next to him a couple of times I am a little over 5'9" and was about an inch, taller. Saw him in the Florida Pro Cup were he got 2nd to Mentzer. Looked like he was carved out of black marble. He should have won.
-
I have no clue how tall Robbi is. but I do know I am 5'9.5''
-
Yes he is great physique, but every week or so this filthy, theiving negro posts up new pictures and his age and we are meant to marvel at it every time.

Yes, and apparently he's roughly the height of a eight year old boy, so I am growing less impressed.

Exactly. He is probably around 5'6'' - 5'7''.

I wasn't mistaken, dude is hitting the pedal to the metal, getting in shape for a summer (I think he will guest pose somewhere in Europe soon):

Pretty much could still wipe the floor on a national level in his height/weight division of classic bodybuilding.

hes guest posing at the NABBA NW in May,
-
I stood next to him and I believe he is about 5'8". I saw him in his prime and he actually looked small in his track suit. I'm guessing 205LBS. When he was on stage he was the clear winner. The detail was unreal.
His book The Black Prince is actually a really good book for a bodybuilding fan. I was surprised it wasn't garbage. It was a well done biography. When I ordered the book my wallet and credit card was upstairs so I asked my wife for her card. When I got the book it was autographed by him saying, "Muscles are sexy Valerie."
He is just a freak in that even back in the day they would say he was never out of shape. No off season bad pictures exist. He just loved to train. He claimed he competed a lot of small shows back in Florida and he didn't use steroids until he came to California.

Still 10 years younger than Jim Morris but if he keeps this up he might surpass him for longevity and looking damn good through his 70s.
