Besides the obvious towering peak, the sheer mass and volume of Robby's arms & delts are eye-popping!

Easily forgotten what an overwhelming favorite he was to win the Olympia at least a couple of times in the late 70s; was basically robbed. Would've been ranked as one of the all-time greats if he'd been allowed to win IMO.

Just like Padilla, Szkalak, Mentzer and others, he ended up leaving the IFBB in the early 80s as a result.

He did win the Olympia - twice, in fact. In 1977 and 78, he won the heavyweight class but lost the overall to Zane.

I would like to see how he looks today at 60 compared to himself back in the day, he is like Ed Corney and Al Beckles when is comes to longevity.

Robby had utterly no say or control with regard to the judging process. Zane over Robby in both '78 and '79? C'mon man, please...

How about some pics of his NOC win, when he had the Buckwheat-afro working overtime. It was him v. Padilla and they both looked great.

Happy Birthday Mr.Robinson!
