I took those photos when I was 15 at his bb camp with Mike Katz in 1978.

We had some rich guy in our group who kept complaining how much pain he was in when Robby had us running up and down hills, outside, with cinder blocks in our hands and having us curl them on the way down, pressing them on the way up...dropping 'em and continuing to run till you could do no more.

Well,,we were loving it except for the whiny rich guy.

Robby got so sick of him that he had us gather around, and he told us the Viet Nam story...even ripped his pants down to show us the bayonette scar.

Never saw the rich dude after that.

what kind of a bodybuilding workout is that?

Not only would you not see a physique like that today, but look at the condition he's in just for offseason!

The tie-ins, the shape of the muscle bellies....damn.

we did weights, too.

That was just one of the pre-workout, 'toughening-up' exercises he had us do.

I loved it and at 15 thought it was cool.

Correct, and the pics do not do him justice.

He was about 4-5 months out from the 78 Olympia here.

He got a hell fine back in 79 when he had everything paid for and didn't turn up at a Pro World show out in Australia Callender went on to win but most where there to see Robby,and that Nam story is a fact one tough dude.One of the all time BEST.

Well, that sounds like Robby.

And, yes...that Nam story is the real thing. I heard it from him first person a few times...it was also recounted in one of the old Muscle Builders.

I recall that show. Still, Callender looked great....around the same time he won the Diamond Cup in Montreal.

Callender was the winner easy and a real nice guy.Had one of the best chests ever.

Moosejay · « **Reply #40 on:** April 19, 2008, 04:50:13 PM »

Yes...you were at the Aussie show? Great!

He was another who could have/should have trounced Franco in the 81 Olympia.

And a very nice guy....you can also see him in the 68 Universe lineup, won by Zane in Florida, with big A in second....

Look forward to them. Oh btw, Muscle Builder and Power had the Robby war story in it years ago.

Moosejay · « **Reply #47 on:** April 19, 2008, 04:59:32 PM »

Yup...I mentioned that, and I know I still have that issue...pretty true from what I know and very inspiring.

After what he went through, hard workouts were a joke for him.

He said he used to use buckets of sand in the service in Nam and old inner tubes due to no weights.

I hate it when we have a nice serious thread going that's interesting , exciting, and informative and squadfather comes along with worthless baseless attacks on someone who is trying to fill us in and give us some fresh positive information... sometimes squadfather is funny but his timing really sucks..he needs to pick his spots and attack those who deserve it, not on a nice guy whose trying to be informative...

Moosejay · « **Reply #49 on:** April 19, 2008, 05:23:42 PM »

Ummm...thnaks for your kind compliments...and I agree, but I don't think squad has said anything bad here.

And, usually, I don't really flame over negative posters. I tend to see value in and get along with all...
