Absolutely incredible genetics including age and ability to withstand gear. He must’ve been on for 30+ yrs.

His chicken breast count must be off the charts.

Could possibly be twice that. Hell I'm 49 and have used for 30+. Many old timers don't get off totally, why would they if it's working. Like Milos is 62 and on 250 test and 50 Deca week. That kind of thing. "Steroids are constructive by definition, not destructive." Milos started as a teen I think, so maybe 40+ years possibly. That's not to say they are totally innocuous. How long were Hulk Hogan and Stallone on for? 50+ at least?

He wasn't extremely aesthetic but these pics are insane, especially in context, when they were taken and so on (state of PED protocols).

Well, Robbie claims he wasn't paid for Pumping Iron! He said Pumping Iron was a fraud! He said that all the bodybuilders THOUGHT they were going to be paid $50,000.00 for Pumping Iron. And the contracts they all signed denied them the money. Seems like they all trusted Arnold and it wasn't hard for him to give them the "wrong advices"!

$50k for a documentary in 1974? That’s the equivalent of $330k today. There’s no way they all thought they were being paid that kind of money in the 70s. Especially for a documentary.

Who gets paid for a documentary? That might the dumbest thing I’ve heard.

For sure.....one of my favorites, bodybuilders.

NO HOMO

His muscle quality was incredible. Al Beckles proves that steroids are not as unhealthy as some people think

LOL exactly. One of the dumbest bodybuilder comments I've heard. Most would probably have paid to be in it if they had the money.

Am I misremembering but did Robby want pics of him taken down here or was it some other places. Another completely retarded idea. A smart bb would pay for his pics to be circulated as wide a possible.

I remember when Robby claimed Trevor Smith wanted him to take like 100 Dianabol tabs a day. I don't think so.

Robbie also talks about "Robbie's Timeless Training Masterclass". Where you can get elite level coaching and access to an exclusive Facebook group with Robbie; and the chance to win the first ever Robbie Robinson trophy.

Robby bitched to Shawn Perine on Ironage and told him he didn't want any of us posting his pictures

This was posted on here back in 2024 but I had never seen it. Why did Robbie need to spit so much in the toilets?

It's not logical at all. What bodybuilder doesn't want exposure and fans posting their pics and admiring them? WTF! If there was a boycott and no one ever posted his pics or even talked about him, how'd he like that? LOL

I admire how ripped these bitch tits are! Never seen anything like it. He looks really on point there and very dehydrated. One top bb coach says never, ever take Lasix as a bodybuilder, you will probably look like you never trained a day in your life. Muscle is water and dehydrating also makes the veins disappear (a way to see if someone is really dehydrated). But some make it work.

He never got that big. Listed contest weight was, what, 200 pounds? Maybe 220 or 230 pounds in the off season?

The guys who have been dropping dead spend most of the year walking around at 280-300+. Look at the picture of Dauda in the other thread -- he's 300 pounds ez, and maybe much heavier.

I think it goes to show that carrying around 300 pounds of muscle is just as bad for your body as carrying around 300 pounds of fat, but that staying around 220-230 pounds can be okay even in the very long term.

A lot of guys who used to get huge in the off-season, like Gunter Schlierkamp and Mustafa Mohammad, had health scares and had to drop all of the weight fast, and now they look like they never trained. This is analogous to obese people who have health issues and are forced to drop a lot of weight.

I suspect it's not so much that lots of muscle is bad but those trying to max out carry around a lot of drug induced water for long periods. The extra drugs and the water is bad. Now guys taking lots of GH due to the cheap price really risk CHF as the GH potentiates cardiomegaly I think. If doing lots of drugs, watch your ankles closely and if you start getting a persistent cough immediately get checked out.
