Come back when you'll succeed at taking that stuff for eons and look shreded and jacked at age 65. It may be very well quite a "hard work" to be able to pull this off...

Hard to believe a guy who was in Pumping Iron is still competing and looks great. Not to mention he made a very successful comeback in the 90s and won the first Masters Mr Olympia.

genetics....

Yes and he is a real lifter too. I remember reading the mags in the 90s when he was lifting with Cormier for a while and Robby deadlifted more than Chris, who was supposed to be one of the strongest pros ever. We won't see guys like him or Ronnie or Arnold again.

Good memory!  I recall the same thing:  Cormier trained with Robby and was stunned at how much he could pull.  (Of course, IIRC, Robby was fully-loaded at this point, prepping for one of the Master's Olympias he should have WON over stupid dwarf Flavio and a smooth-as-silk Vince Taylor.)

Then again, Cormier and his gang, including Flex, Paul and Rico, were always decent show-off pressers, but none of them were known for rowing and pulling the kind of Ronnie and Dorian weights they should have.  It generally shows in their backs, too.  Paul's back was a joke. Flex's was nicely detailed and thick in the middle traps, but his lats were, by his own admission, lacking; Rico?  LOL; and Chris?  He had good back development, but we all saw how he compared to the other guys.  He probably should have beat Flex at the '99 Olympia.  Same said for Shawn Ray.  He was WAY more complete and didn't have a bunch of balloons in his delts and arms.  Still, it wasn't enough.

Don't be so thick headed boy. You would look like garbage no matter what drugs you took, or the doses.

Robby was never underated..he was a huge smash when he hit the scene as an amatuer, and kicked mucho ass as a pro at a ton of contests.......got tons of coverage in Weiders mags.

Deadlifted over 700 pounds at over 50 years of age.

Great physique to this day and a true legend in the sport.

As far as not working hard goes,Robby trained his ass off all the time..........never came in looking out of shape whether he won or lost.

Some of the best intercostals and arms ever!!

Yeah,I like him!  ;D

Go wash your mouth out with soap for speaking such blasphemy towards "The Black Prince" !  :)

I`d say he had a wee bit more than just abs and still does.

Yep, they were both preparing for the Olympia, Robby for the Masters and Chris for the Mr Olympia. I didn't have Flavio placing above Robby either, which he did only because of his conditioning, although Robby looked great too.

And you're right about their style of lifting. If you had a time machine and transported the pros from today to the 70s, they wouldn't be able to handle the lifting. On the flip side, if you brought guys like Arnold & Robbie to the present day, they'd still lift their butts off rather than rely on drugs and lukewarm training like most of today's guys do. Which is why Dorian and Ronnie beat guys who had better genetics for shape but not the heart to lift hard and heavy with a serious commitment and focus (Flex, Dillett etc).

all that needs to be done from you is lifting one leg of your pants and showing them how old school training builds quads and hams.
