I'm glad to see that he's still with us. I still have the picture that I took with him when the Mr. Olympian was held here in Chicago about 30 some years ago.
I feel like he had to rely more on training and nutrition since he was taking lower doses than the other guys. But it really shows in his physique, it looks much cleaner and refined.
@@glennhankins6927 but all the guys who talk openly about steroids say they were taking low dosages ... from the golden era to Dorian ... can you believe Dorian said he was taking less than some women? They're mocking us in the face
All of these old timers are now saying "yeah we all juiced, but i did it the least" so as to be the best genetically, I only believe people like Tom Platz who would fixatively log all their steroid usage.
The Black Prince, Robby reminds me of the drugs we all used in the day that have gone by the wayside. Deca at 50 mg per vial, Primo Depot- used to head to Mexico to bring back loads of single shot glass vials of it... I recall the days back in Venice when all these boys were pounding it hard... Robby, Arnold, Franco, Denny, Eddy, etc. It was a time to remember. Robby was one of the best in the world then. God bless him, happy to see he is still around.
@@007stopjockin Awesome. I wonder if those primos are still available? I'd snap the top off the glass amps and use a 22 gauge in the hip, it used to work like crazy. I also loved the Winstrol V (vetrinary) too, combo up with some Anadrol tabs or Bolasterone IM, and it was sliced beef after a few weeks!!!
@@chickenchokercharlie3161 yea man! Those were the days! And you didn't have to take much at all! 50 mgs winstrol eod, 100 mgs Primobolan a week, 10-20 anavar per day and you looked like you were carved out of granite lol! Miss the old days! 007
It depends who you are talking to. Some guys are very open about it and others are not. That's the way it is in bodybuilding. It will never change. Mind you these freaks today are on soo much drugs its soo obvious anyway. They all look terrible in my opinion. Gone are the days of guys like Robby, Arnold, Zane, Columbu, Draper etc. Never be an era like that again.
2:03 "Primobolan was the first anabolic I took in my life".... hm, that statement coming from the guy who said in another interview that he didn't know about Primo until years later as Arnold kept it a secret and so did the doctor they shared. He had said Deca was his first ever anabolic. What to believe anymore from him?!
@@jamiealexander7665 so true. Delusional too and in denial especially the "old school" guys I find. And people look up to these nutcases. Years of drugs have altered their minds and realities
Robby is a true legend I started following him in the magazines from the mid 70s . Right up there with all the golden era legends!you can be sure! He was featured on covers of muscle builder power later known as muscle and fitness and so many other classic bodybuilding magazines!
Met robby and danny padilla with bertil fox , in Brooklyn nyc1978 , training for night of champions show, at my gym on ave u , bath beach bodybuilding gym
You'd be surprised what you can do w low dosages. I ran 200 mgs of Deca once every 4 weeks for several years in the early 2000's. Was always lean, strong and joints felt good. Have not done an anabolic since then. I used to LOVE 100 mgs per week of Primobolan! My all time favorite! Miss tf out of that drug still! Talk about feeling like Superman! 007
@@akshayc6163 Getting older is tricky. These guys don't talk about that. Anti Aging is a term that is total bullshit. There is no such thing as anti aging.

I never heard so much BS in my life.Its very sad someone his age still underestimating peoples intelligence.Listen to what Greg Valentino has to say about him
Anyone who has been on gear knows premo do not do that shit...! Sounds like Insulin... but hey... you never know the quality of premo these OG's were getting back in the day
Transparency at its best,most the guys i know that take the gear,dont even research what they are taking never mind blood work,most want it now,and pay later.
wich also means he could have a genetic advantage.. caus piramides work amazing and specialy if you do it only for short amount of time when it comes to roids, this gives you less platues and better potential fulfillment. it might sound strange but in some cases having this genetic differences can make that your own body also has to adapt to this slight different make up then say you and me have, so it could benefit you or not. in hes case it couldve been better for him caus he never fluxuated much and kept hes balance overall in check.

He misunderstood the question. I'm pretty sure when he asked if it put him at a disadvantage, he ment a disadvantage in competition. Not in life. Robby repeated himself at the end.
I think it's fair to say that the old guys were mostly using steroids to recover while the young guys are just injecting bulk. Piana is a good example,
he's actually not saying he took any less, he's only really saying that instead of taking 500 mg once a week he took 100mg 5 times a week. It's the same thing!!

Amazing Robby is where he is today considering he has sickle cell! 🐐
Robby and Franco are the guys that inspire me big time
Hollywood passed this guy over
Arnold Schwarzenegger kept hating on him and calling him racial slurs.
After listening to the whole interview I have a new found respect for Robbie🤘
Thank you Vlad
Crazy how it didn't stop him from taking it .

Nearly all bodybuilders are pathological liars, just like gamblers.
I've seen the interview he said he only ever took 200mg Deca.

Today primo, um um um... Whole trust went lost, closed the vedio & slept :)
i thought he was going to say "after i collapsed....i stopped and never took it again!!"
I hear ya !
He’s still taking something even at age 78,only way he can still have muscle

Should have won in 78.
because he was black. that one's not hard.

Question, So you can’t be a body builder without taking steroids?
Really
No.

You'd be surprised what you can do w low dosages.

What years was it when you collapsed on your way home from Gold's was it during your prime?
1975, when he was preparing for Mr World
No fakes back then either

A Legend among Legends,
His body responds badly to roids , 200mg is an extremely low dose for a bodybuilder
wich also means he could have a genetic advantage.. caus piramides work amazing and specialy if you do it only for short amount of time when it comes to roids, this gives you less platues and better potential fulfillment. it might sound strange but in some cases having this genetic differences can make that your own body also has to adapt to this slight different make up then say you and me have, so it could benefit you or not. in hes case it couldve been better for him caus he never fluxuated much and kept hes balance overall in check.

They all take dope, then they go on camera and say it’s diet it’s not diet that makes these guys big it’s steroids!!!!!

Amazing how someone can make it to his age and not know anything. Anabolic steroids are a treatment for sickle cell anemia.
