Robby Robinson: • ROBBY ROBINSON: THE BL...
When I was a teenager I read an interview with Robby and it changed my mindset on nutrition forever - he basically said that he never eats anything that wasn’t going to help him reach his goals... to this day I still ask myself at least 90% of the time before I make a food choice is this going to help me reach my goals or hurt me? Very simple advice but for me it has worked wonders over the years to stay in shape and also to save a lot of money by not buying junk that I shouldn’t be eating...Thanks Robby!
Damn. Good thought process.
Wow ..best advice ive ever heard, as we speak i am preparing a 100 percent beef patty
@@chrismoll6862that's why I am vegan as meat is proven to lower testosterone do the research. Vegans protein synthesis is superior to meat protein synthesis. That's why as a vegan hard trainer I put on 1 kg of muscle per month same as Ronnie Coleman whom took steriods. I do not take steriods we don't need too from the power of nature n her powerful supplements. Plus how the competition works is bad too n corrupted. Steriods is cheating your own life and in gaining muscle. We don't need them at all.
But for Robbie, diet was part of his job. For us noncompetitors, it's just a hobby.
weider stopped Mike from pushing new training like oil companies killed the inventions years ago that would triple mpg in cars...business...look how many of us were lied to about gaining muscle in those mags...we all over trained and bought a ton of weider products...if we just ate good and trained normal we would have done better...
💯
The weider confusion principle was the biggest joke
@Old Skool Bodybuilding Routines you never heard of the weider muscle confusion principle?
@Old Skool Bodybuilding Routines are you trolling or have you not heard of it?
ABSOLUTE TRUTH
Robby is an absolute legend, his love for bodybuilding is intoxicating, so much knowledge & he still looks awesome at 76!
I have a 78 muscle and fitness mag ( pre Olympia)and Robby is on almost every page .. my most treasured magazine !
Dorian in recent interviews has said that when you are in competition phase (4 to 6 weeks out) you don't need failure to training with heavy weights. You can switch to lighter weights and higher reps to still come close enough to failure. Dorian advocated that when you are close to competition you are working to preserve muscle tissue as you strip off fat. So save the heavy duty training for off season when the calories are in surplus, no dehydration and plenty of sleep. I think Dorian is really smart and is proposing merger of HIT and Lee Haney's philosophy of "stimulate don't annihilate".
@Old Skool Bodybuilding Routines Lol your anti HIT and anti Dorian stance is well communicated in multiple videos. Cheers bro.
@Old Skool Bodybuilding Routines Wow except none of them had a physique like Dorian 🤡
all drugs , bs tbeory from doryan the junkie still on drugs , he hasno clue about training or gaining muscle , he used drugs to cosmetically look a certain way plus insulin clen gh tren etc , without it he looks like shit
I met Robby back in 1978 when I was about 16 and I asked him about the Heavy Duty way and Mentzer. He told me that it works but it was all in your diet that made the difference. He really pushed the subject of your diet above any lifting system. Back then Mentzer was training with a little more volume than he later advocated of just one set taken to absolute failure. He was training with 6 sets per body part. Still far less than any other bodybuilder of the day
@Old Skool Bodybuilding Routines how many sets are needed then?
@Old Skool Bodybuilding Routines which is it though ? Like precisely , 12-25 is a big disparity
@Old Skool Bodybuilding Routines so would it be possible to get the same result/ better result doing 12 sets as opposed to 25. And would 30 sets be diminishing returns? Or would that be even better?
@@Jdac333 😂😂😂 I see what you’re doing. What he’s saying isn’t exactly, exact, which is not what science is.
@@user-xe5fz6se9j exactly 😉. I’ve gone from 70-90kg doing 1 maximum set to failure, and beyond, with partials, forced reps etc . Training 2-3 times a week 20-30 mins. I’m not a bodybuilder but a combat sport competitor. No other method has given me the gains I have gotten currently. Without gear, May I add.
I suspect that people doing 12-20 sets are
1) only get to failure after a preposterous amount of volume
2) genetically gifted and will respond to basically anything
3) using gear and again, responding to it, and thus anything, extremely well.
Robby I want to THANK YOU ! From 1977 ! You came into COSTA MESA GYM Super Bodies . I had gotten LEGIONAIRES DISEASE at 23 yr's old. I went from 235lbs to 198 LBS !. You visited the gym & my roommate was the gym mgr.He asked you to write a note to me '' YOU HAVE TO LOSE TO GAIN ''. It took years before I understood what your WORDS of WISDOM were. THANK YOU !!!
I love GEB Channell and Robby Robinson
Wow! What an episode!
Robby is one of the greatest of all time. He's been one of my bodybuilding heroes since I was a kid.
Mr Robinson is still in incredible shape today, I've always liked him, The Black Prince.
It's amazing, true example of longevity in bodybuilding
@@GoldenEraBookworm Thank you Carlos mate, for all you do.
5:08 Perfectly said by Robby. Alot of Arnolds career and best photos were always with the camera crew, photographers, and weirder working with him. They always showed Arnold in his best shots and angles. I love Arnold but undoubtedly he was Weiders golden boy and the bias towards him was strong.
@Old Skool Bodybuilding Routines HOW DO YOU KNOW!
@Old Skool Bodybuilding Routines yes it was
@Old Skool Bodybuilding Routines I agree that Arnold was best for business. As was Dorian in the 90's and Big Ramy is now. Expand the market, expand profits
@Old Skool Bodybuilding Routines aren't you that guy who shows up on every video about HIT to shittalk Mentzer and shill Arnold
@Old Skool Bodybuilding Routinescheck your reading comprehension.. he doesn't say "only" as you imply he says "most".. anyone who knows what really happened knows Weider was biased about Arnold.. Arnold had a thick waist and narrow shoulders were his weakness thus his emphasis on twisting poses.. his low lat inserts made his waistline disappear with a little twist
I always thought Robby had the most underrated physique of all time and he rarely got what he deserved throughout his career. I also remember the hissy fit Ferrigno threw after he lost to Robby at the Masters O, which was finally some justice for him because he had the better overall physique. He's remarkably gracious and still going strong so he gets the last laugh.
Did you know Joe Weider put his own face over Robby Robinson to create that famous Weider logo?
@@padraig88 I did, Weider was a con man of the highest order.
@@vancemcnulty8242 I remember Mentzer talked about in an interview when he was working for Weider that the editor walked up to him I think shortly after he was hired. During the talk that Weider had with him at the time he showed him a picture of him back when he was in his prime. At the time Mentzer was like a son to Weider because both of them were really nerdy and into science. After the interview the lead editor walked up to Mentzer and asked him "He showed you the photo didn't he", and then told him how he made the photoshop back then LOL
@@krazus2036 🤐🤣
I saw Robbie training in Golds Santa Monica in 1979, he was ripped to shreds...awesome!
And in 2022 you can see him in similar condition-insane
Me too. I'm 60 now. I was 16 then. It was Golds was on 2nd street and so many of the bodybuilding stars were there. Robby seemed to be there all the time before he moved to Gamboa's gym on Lincoln.
Robby is a very intelligent Man Great interview.
Robbie Robinson is an encyclopedia of Bodybuilding. From the old days all the way to now. An amazing guest many props Carlos
It's easy to see how in awe you are getting to go one on one with one of the greatest bodybuilders of ALLTIME. The black Prince was an inspiration to me and countless people growing up. He and Mile Mentzer were my favourite bodybuilders.
Simply the BEST vid on a body builder ever! Love Robbie's honesty, joy, and passion!
Living legend. Such a sincere and genuine champion. Interesting reveal about how much control the Weiders exerted over the sport, maybe not always for the better.
More stories to come
DEFINITELY not always for the better
@@Hittdogg17 Yeah. I was trying to be diplomatic. When Charles Gaines wrote Pumping Iron, the book he wrote that the promoters of the sport, which at the time were The Weiders, Dan Lurie and Bob Hoffman were so busy competing with each other and busy trying to make a buck that it was holding the sport back from progressing and general acceptance by a wider audience. AND that the competitors were basically left out of any of the prosperity of the sport.
@@zeppafloyd You see it even now in the MMA world. A handful of powerful groups are basically making all the money while the majority of bodybuilders/fighters are killing themselves for far less than a pro on that level should be getting.
@@ryanjohnston4249 I wish I could say that I'm surprised by that, but I'm not. It's like Don King and pro boxing.
God bless Robby. I've been watching since 1970 and the "sport" is not as beautiful as it used to be. Maybe that's just nostalgia speaking, but I think I'm lucky to have known the old days. Although, I did miss the greats of the 50's and 60's.
I started trainlng in 1968 at 14 . I was lucky enough to be at the 69 and 70 Mr Olympias. With all due respect to Robby , in 1970 the Town Hall was sold out , PACKED . Honest observation - in 69 Sergio deserved the win. In 1970 Arnold was sharper and deserved his first Mr O. In 1972 Sergio won, but they gave it to Arnold. Not withstanding what anybody says Sergio was in the best shape of his life in that contest. He wasn't "smooth, or watery, or needed to be drier". Jesus, look at the effing pictures. Let there be no doubt that while bodybuilding is a "subjective" sport Sergio , when in shape , was the singular greatest bodybuilder to ever grace a stage.
we need to get Bodybuilding out of the industry mindset,and get it back into the health,strength and muscle building mindset and promote it for the right reasons
Yes.To many fake Natty's and they all die OR shrink to obscurity
Good to see Robby again.
Robbie was always one of my Idols He should of won a few Olympia's
Robby can now be seen training at Gold's Gym with Mike O'hearn. Mike always posts videos of them working out together. Robby is still training well into his 70's. 🇺🇲👍
And looking awesome
Robbie is a great example of longevity 💪
its just absolutely amazing that robbie is still training in his 70s
@@trinihammer fr
amazing interview, long live Robby one of the greatest to ever do it 🙌 insane aesthetics
Thanks man
Robby Robinson, along with Frank Zane, is an absolute gentleman; and in my opinion, he had one of the most impressive - if not the most impressive - front double biceps poses in the history of bodybuilding.
Robby is a true LEGEND of the sport!! Great interview!
Thank you
Robby Robinson had such an amazing physique...... One of the most underrated ever.
Hit maybe doesn't work for some people. But it's been working for me. Not everyone has the mind set for hit. I think everyone is different and stick to what works.
Okay
just as Volume training doesn't work for everyone,I did better with the old peary rader 20 rep squat program
@Old Skool Bodybuilding Routines talking out your azz i see,seeing as the 20 rerp squat IS THE BASIS of High Intensity Bodybuilding,and loads of Bodybuilders got results form it . the 20 rep squat routine is infact a high-intensity, full-body workout that creates muscle mass gains in a short period of time,and is THE BASIS of HIGH INENSITY BODYBUILDING
Definately not for everyone. Most people don’t have the mental stamina to endure the demand from HIT.
@@drzfinezt180 true
Robby's mind is as sharp as his body ever was. A true legend
Amazing interview, RR is a great champion and person, for sure
You can do heavy duty with volume, the main premise is to maximize your gainz with every set and limiting yourself in excessiveness, instead of doing one or two sets for 10 or less reps with super heavy weight, you can do 1-2 sets with 20 reps to get a crazy pump, i can get more out of a 3 exercise, 6-9 total sets workout than someone else not intensely training with 10x10 for every exercise
Robby is one of my favorite bodybuilders of all time. Thank you for this video.
Robbie was such a balanced package back in day....outstanding physique and attitude (which he has managed to maintain to this day.). I'm 65 and have followed him since 1978.
Robby is a true genetic specimen. You can tell he achieved a lot naturally as now he’s older he still looks fantastic. Building that fantastic foundation was the key to his success and longevity.
I agree with you, Robby still looks amazing. But HRT is quite possible in order for him to retain so much muscle mass even at this stage. With that being said, man does that guy work hard and you can tell because his work capacity is still insane. Still strong, still tons of stamina and willpower.
@@ryanjohnston4249 Well, he also said he never used that much,because it made him sick and we was conscious of his sickle cell. So, he had to bring it
@@fatboitino2 No disrespect to Robby because his physique was amazing and still remains excellent, better than pretty much anybody else's. I'm sure he didn't need to take much because these dudes are hyper-responders. Plus, I'm sure he didn't just jump into any crazy routines or PEDs. I'd imagine, as Joseph said, he did really well before any other stuff.
@@ryanjohnston4249 Yeah- and they had all real gear and all real food
@@fatboitino2 That's true, too. That really does seem to make such a difference.
He has a point. I really don't see HIT being a true benefit when it comes to entering the competition phase of training.
- although I'm sure DY would say complete otherwise on this.
Or maybe can agree a bit.
Another old interview years ago ,RR mentioned something alone the lines that Arnold had to win* on his comeback.
Mike was the new shooting star with his new HIT method . For if he won, it would be a major blow to the Weider system training and the Weider dynasty as a whole.
The higher powers couldn't let that happen.
I've heard this from several people
Hit worked for Yates . for one body part ,hed do first exercise - 2 warm up sets plus one failure set , second exercise - 1 warm up set , one failure set , 3 rd exercise 1 failure set . and that was it , except sometimes he'd add a 4th exercise and do 1 failure set . so for one body part he'd do a total of 3 warm up sets and 3 or 4 failure sets . and he won 6 Olympics doing that
@@iang8169 And hitting those specific body parts only once a week.
Dorian in recent interviews has said that when you are in competition phase (4 to 6 weeks out) you don't need failure to training with heavy weights. You can switch to lighter weights and higher reps to still come close enough to failure. Dorian advocated that when you are close to competition you are working to preserve muscle tissue as you strip off fat. So save the heavy duty training for off season when the calories are in surplus, no dehydration and plenty of sleep. I think Dorian is really smart and is proposing merger of HIT and Lee Haney's philosophy of "stimulate don't annihilate".
Yea but higher training status you can do more casually too . Mentzer and others trained different try before hit . It works if your a beast already
Robby really knows his stuff and still in amazing shape today.
A true champion who loves what he does bottom line.
Yea he does
Awesome as always ...thanks guys👍
Brother here is on point and spoke with great sincerity. HIT principles are Highly effective but very misunderstood! Great Content as always Bookworm!
Well done amazing interview 💯👏🏽
Yates is my favourite bodybuilder of all time. His discipline and stoic nature inspires me in all aspects of striving higher in my life. (As a natural weight trainer and martial artist and actor)
What a wonderful man brilliant interview
Not sure how he can say a bodybuilder needs more volume. Dorian proven that WRONG being the biggest and the grainiest, hardest mr O of all..
Dorian would have been bigger and better if he actually did more volume work, especially for his lagging arms, chest, delts and quads! Those bodyparts respond to more volume, imagine how much he could of brought up his biceps if he did more than just 3 sets a week, i love Dorian but with alot of weal bodyparts he had to put more work into them and unfortunately his stubborness cost him physique wise!
@@oldskoolbodybuildingroutin7178yates did sets working up to his one too set to failure , but nobody counts the sets before the top set .
High intensity training is what transformed Dorian physique, when volume is equated for any type of training is effective .
A minor issue with what Robbie said about the 1970 Mr Olympia in NYC. I was there and the theater was packed so much so that I was watching from a packed balcony and used binoculars to see the details. Sergio was huge but not quite as sharp as Arnold. A very close competition. Arnold's charisma also was apparent then on stage. Before the competition Sergio was walking the streers of NY in a pink satin shirt and tight pants. The looks he got by people were jaw-dropping. He was followed by a group of about 20 fans and I stood across the street watching all this.
such a great interview!!! One of the best I've seen
DORIAN 🔥
Actual, true, real Heavy Duty 100% HIT is 1 of The Great systems without a doubt! That said, it's a right time, place etc kind of system. It or any other isn't constantly sustainable for anyone, although neither is frequent hard volume training either. As anyone who's been around the gym a while will tell you, your body goes through varying stages reacting differently at different times to different stimuli, as well as just because. I'm not even referring to aging yet either. For those with the muscle fiber make up most suited to HIT it's almost like magic at the opportune time, for those who aren't it's a nightmare till you come to grips with what's actually most suitable for you. Which you might not like at 1st.
I wonder if the volume issue can be partially mitigated by practicing pre-showhard posing like mad--as the old stool BB's did. .
@Old Skool Bodybuilding Routines here’s a better question to counter act your low iq logic, why aren’t high volume trainers any bigger than a hit trainer? If more is better, why aren’t high volume trainers look like the hulk? I’ll tell you why, because god made you to enjoy life instead of slaving away with weights. Keep wasting your life and time while hit training gets just as good results.
My comment wasn't Pro/Con any system. Having been in the gym 4+ decades, other than stressing always using correct form, the result's seeking individual should expose themselves to any legitimate system. In other words there's only hard work, not magic, or at least I've never seen it.
@Old Skool Bodybuilding Routines Working jobs. Paying bills, realising that 3 hard sessions a week for at most limited sets is the maximum most of us can take and still recover from and grow....Where are all you big and developed Volume guys the way you promote?
Even dudes that do 20 sets a bodypart are only blasting that bodypart once a week and you know it.
Most guys are closer to Yates and Mentzers earlier recommendation's....
And what is the protocol YOU promote?
6 days a week, Sunday off for "recovery and the Sabbath" ...how scientific.
Train your bodyparts 2 times a week with heavy weights for mass, 3 times a week for higher reps for cuts?
Inexplicably train abs, calves and forearms up to 6 days a week, No particular reason actually given.
20 sets per bodypart. 5 sets per exercise. Why 20 sets? Why not 19? Why not 21? No scientific reason ever given.
Still waiting for you to accept my challenge and meet me in a gym in my City.....OR...Actually tell us where YOU live and we will arrange another HIT lifter to meet you, so you can show us all how "weak, fat and lazy" we are....We can film the whole thing. Stop hiding Old Fool.
@@algrundau9441 Gauntlet thrown 👏. I agree that HIT will allow regular guys with jobs and family obligations to still get the benefits of weight training. You will also find plenty of guys like me, who are hard gainers, who have tried everything else . . . and I have other obligations, too.
Absolute Legend indeed!
Dorian MODIFIED Mike Mentzers method of H.I.T., to a BETTER SYSTEM WITH MORE VOLUME. And this is WHY it caused arguments between Mike and Dorian. And it eventually made Mike separate himself from Dorian. But Dorian SHOWED AND PROVED, that he did NOT NEED MIKE MENTZER anymore.
Yates also started experimented with newer drugs also
@@ishitrealbad3039nothing changed except insulin and GH
Mentzer is the only man to ever score a perfect 300 in a Mr.Olympia AND Mr.Universe competition...so Mike never needed Dorian. Period. 💪😊
I am a martial artist but have been applying some of A Jones and M Mentzer's ideas to my strenght training.
I am not doing HIT exactly but I am seeing some improvement. My main focus is Karate.
Great interview
thank you...!
Great interview.
I always enjoy listening to this guy. Cool dude.
It worked for many many and even natural trainers
I'm right here. 💪
@Old Skool Bodybuilding Routines i'm here. I'm bigger than you i bet
Robbie is the last man standing of the golden era... still in amazing shape
ALSO Arnold ,Albert Beckles Mike Katz ,Ken Waller and a handfull others are still holding their positions!!
So where is that guy who always says so where are all the big HITers? :-D
Give him a bit he’ll be here🤣👎🏽
And he is right
@Old Skool Bodybuilding Routines Viola!! :-D
@Old Skool Bodybuilding Routines its honestly really sad to see you fighting over over the internet all the time, i mean i kinda worry about you, do you have like a job?? Or something to do in life
@Old Skool Bodybuilding Routines I couldn't care less either way dude, just think it's funny that you think it's so important.
An honor to hear the Prince speak. Top 5 anytime he stepped on stage
Best bodybuilding page on TH-cam. Robby Robinson's "The Black Prince" is a classic as it takes the reader through the eerie world of the Weiders. He should have been an Olympia winner. If not Weider would not have stuck his melon on Robby Robinson's bust. The cosa nostra of professional body building.
People NEED TO KNOW, that there are DIFFERENT VERSIONS of HIT. They are NOT ALL THE SAME! And some versions are better than others. There ARE BETTER METHODS for putting on mass, that take into account SOME PRINCIPALS of the old H.I.T. method. Such new training methods that have been modified for BETTER AND FASTER RESULTS, is the MAX OT TRAINING METHOD. This simply JUST WORKS EXTREMELY FASTER!💪🙂👍
All the minutiae of the different kinds of HIT aside, what's more important is that trainees be made aware of overtraining, and how little exercise is actually needed to stimulate a change.
@Old Skool Bodybuilding Routines Yates didnt go to failure? lmfao 🤦🏻♂️ 💩💩💩
@@pinzytoto7698 He didn't go to failure on barbell rows, deadlifts, leg press, hack squats and stiff deadlifts in B&G for example, so...
they all trained heavy for lower setts and reps to build mass and then went on more volume to get in shape around 2-3 months before competition,this was no secret.
Almost 62, did volume before but when I gave HIT a try ……it has been like MAGIC. The gains have been tremendous. I’ll never do volume again. My guess is most people don’t really go to and past failure, and that is the key.
Hey creepy creeperson ! Looking around online for photos of naked men ?
I’m not interested. Get your creepy pics elsewhere.
robby was one my favorites had incredible arms
Robby Robinson is/was one of my all-time favorites, but his lack of calf development and surprising smoothness cost him the 1977 Olympia. After '77 there was no way he could beat Zane. Mentzer could have beaten Zane in '79 (placing 2nd) and everyone was ripped off by Arnold at the '80 Olympia. Hard to believe, but the '81 Olympia was even more of a farce with Franco (with promoter and buddy Arnold).
that back double bicep pose was amazing 11-05
Mike Mentzer had issues. Most of them self inflicted.
Thanks Roby
Very entertaining interview...So much researched by colleges on exercise physiology .... And how to build muscle ....They have the science of muscle building and fitness in a healthy way.. Years after the fact some of these old school Bodybuilder claimed weirder sent them to doctors to get the stuff ... And the contest being rigged for the most marketable competitor to win .....even with torn muscle...
Progressive overload been around since Milo .I consider this and all these old school bodybuilders entertainers how many have degrees in exercise physiology ... Good entertainment ....good stories
Robby man love this
I'm a 66-year-old white guy who began bodybuilding in 1971 at age 15 (and am still bodybuilding, as much as my aging-wear and job-incurred-joint-damage limits me now), so was contemporary with the Schwarzenegger/Oliva era.
As much as I appreciate Arnold's physique and appreciate even more the effect he had of making bodybuilding publicly acceptable (even in 1971, when I began, many people still considered bodybuilding "strange" if not somehow "perverse"), my opinion then and today still is that Oliva at his peak had better aesthetics and proportions than Schwarzenegger at his peak.
If Oliva had entered the 1972 Mr Olympia just a little more defined (and/or, as Robinson observes, drier), I doubt that even that era's muscle industry commercial interests, who preferred a white champion on their magazine covers in order to sell more magazines, would have gotten away with giving Schwarzenegger his questionable win. As Robinson says, Oliva "...was from another planet".
Robby had the kind of physique that other bodybuilders envied. I'd take his physique over Mentzer's, Yates', Haney's, Arnold's and almost any other bodybuilder ever. His balance, rugged definition, small waist and joints and flaring lats, biceps and overall symmetry were hard to beat IMHO.
Love Robby
Hit is the best system hands down. It doesn't matter who you are or what your body type is. If you obey the principles and push yourself, it is the best and most Effective
The real goat!!!
Robby seems like a very good, respectable person. What winners 🏆SINCERELY feel bad for their opponents misfortunes. He mentioned Lou lost millions of dollars in movies and other contracts when he lost to Robby.
My favorite author is Dave Draper high volume to the max however in practice HIT is far superior in my experience I get bigger and stronger and I actually have a life on the side 😂
🤔 What is the Dominate Bodybuilding system in the 21st century?
If you workout for health and have a demanding and time consuming job, the Jones/Mentzer system is great... you don't have to be on steroids to gain a lot of muscle with it any more than if you do high volume... and I think you get as much mind/muscle connection with it, since going to failure and squeezing out that last possible rep, or partial reps to get beyond failure, is every bit as strong of a connection as a burn spread over many sets. Maybe it's not as good for getting ripped or as preparation for stage flexing... but most enthusiasts will never compete and don't have 2-4 hours per day to spend in the gym. But to get good results you do have to go to failure, which isn't easy, can leave you feeling wrung out if you train too often, or don't get enough rest.
@Old Skool Bodybuilding Routines More like those who don't like to waste time, as it's tougher than any other routine. I could just as easily say "volume training is for wimps and dawdlers who don't want to exert themselves enough in one set and have no life outside the gym", but to each their own...
@@michaelpeters364 Hitters are lazy. Their physiques reflect that fact.
Both systems have their place. You have low heavy for power and strength foundation. You have mid,high reps to sculptor the muscle belly.
Robbie is the GOAT
Robbie the goat 🐐
Great legend
I remember watching pumping iron when Arnold is explaining to the interviewer how bodybuilding is like being a sculpture and then the next scene it was Robbie flexing .
Yep, great beginning
I used to workout with Paul Brodeur’s nephew Jason. Paul wrote the book on hit, Mike was a friend of Paul’s, HIT works
the great Robby.
The Black Prince. One of my favorite physiques.
Robby still looks better than everyone else.
The MAX OT TRAINING METHOD, is still WAY BETTER AND MORE EFFECTIVE to use, during the off season when your trying to put as much muscle mass EXTREMELY FAST!!! 💪🙂👍 This was used by both natural Bodybuilders Jeff Willet and Skip La Cour. Literally THOUSANDS of people swear by it. And my experience, is that it is very similar to the 5 sets of 5 reps. All because it uses enough volume, but NOT TOO MUCH EITHER. The rep range will determine the RESULT of the the effort. It focus on compound movements in the 4-6 rep range at 85% of 1 rep max, resting 3-4 minutes between sets. Sergio Oliva, Reg Park, Bill Pearl, all favored using reps in the 4-6 rep range when trying to put on as much muscle mass too
Wow! An education on bodybuilding.
Robbie is on point. It was the Weider system thus the result of the 1980 MR .Olympia
great job Carlos ,Robby speaks from the mouth.i heard Robby had issues with Joe Weider .
HIT also works for people who only have 45 min to 1hr to train. Not everyone can spend 3hrs in gym doing volume training 🤷♂️
Why would a volume workout took 3 hours? It can be done in an hour easily. Your HIT workout takes an hour? So you are lifting for about 10 minutes and rest of the time jerking off or what?
Damn Robbie looking great still going strong, he misses the mentzer bros too! Carlos Top G
Robbie was of the "do a coupleadees and someahdose" training school.
Respect 💪 🙏 Robbie Robinson 🇬🇧
Thank you!
13:31 looking good there, Carlos. Got some nice size and definition 💪
Very interesting!
My arms, actually my whole body started to grow when I started training with high volume
mine stalled out and when i switched to 20 rep squats program of peary rader was when i started growing
@Old Skool Bodybuilding Routines WTF is your problem?
@Old Skool Bodybuilding Routines yeh and they PROVED the 20 rep squat program works
