Van, what I think happened is Robert over trained for the how.When I talked to him last he was doing 2 workouts a day, and I know Dennis Wolfe is a high volume trainer.
When I worked with Robert last year, our workout were 30-45 minutes,once a day.
Brief but intence.
If you train 2 times a day for a show on low carbs, training twice a day, will stress the body so your body release cortisol.Thats why Robert looked flat and stringy.
If Robert would have trained less, and stayed away from Dennis Wolfe, he would have given Jason Huhb a run for his money.Trust Robert is huge, but he was so flatt and off at the USA he looked awful.
Compared to what he could look like.He has 24" arms and 22" calves, so if he was "on' Jason wouldnt have looked bigger then him
.I told Robert not to train or work with Dennis Wolfe, I said Dennis looked terrible the last 2 how he did.Wolfe like Burneika, is a great athlete, but they need to have some one Like Chris Aceto, or myself help them pull it together.Tiger Woods has a coach,Jason Giambi has a coach,all top athletes should have a "coach".A coach, doesnt mean they are week or dumb.A coach helps them think and guide them because its hard to diet, train and dial yourself in.
If Robert used Chris Aceto and not trained with Wolfe, he probably would have won the show
