Dorian doesn’t Respect Arnold either

I was at a Robby seminar at a gym on Long Island in 1979. Robby was huge and put out a lot of non-BS info. He was the first bodybuilder I heard say that the hours long workouts were only possible when using juice (gear) or else you’d break down.

They all knew that they couldn't compete with Robby. And that includes Arnold. They all knew Robby's physique was far beyond any of theirs.

Just to give younger viewers some perspective , I remember back in the early 1980s, when I used to buy Muscle and Fitness and all the bodybuilding books. You would never see pictures of Robbie Robinson, Sergio Oliva or Casey Viator or even Larry Scott. You would catch glimpses of them in books. Sergio's picture was so rare, that he literally was a myth. You had no idea what he looked liked. Now, with all the information being more transparent, you realize the Weiders were running a business. Robbie and Sergio were black, so they were not as marketable as Arnie and Franco. Casey Viator was Arthur Jones' prodigy and Larry Scott adhered to Vince Gironda's training system, not the Weiders. Eventually, Joe and Ben brought out Flex magazine and as Arnold's movie career blossomed and fitness exploded in the 80s, hindsight would prove the Weiders to be astute businessmen. But, it was a shame. When I would see the rare picture of Robbie Robinson, I would think that his physique was better than all the guys that were on the covers of Muscle and Fitness. When I finally saw pictures of Sergio, then I knew why they called him the Myth. Really sad that they were not given their due during their peak.

I remember hearing Arnold say that, at one point, he was the only IFBB pro making a living at it, “so I had to win.” If that meant making sport out of Lou Ferrigno’s hearing impairment, Robby Robinson’s skin color, Franco Columbu’s height or anything else he could spin to his perceived advantage, it was “game on.” I hesitate to say that Arnold was truly a racist. So happens that I had a high school friend (Ed) who was a serious bodybuilder. He won a local contest that Arnold just happened to be present for. Afterwards, Arnold spent nearly an hour giving Ed pointers on training and posing. This was before the first “Conan” movie. Arnold was “comic book famous” at best, and had nothing to gain by investing even a second’s worth of time and knowledge into a 17 year old black kid after a contest in Baltimore. Today, I doubt he remembers. Ed, all these years later, has never forgotten. None of this excuses Arnold’s more inappropriate behavior or comments…but I still don’t think he was quite “that guy” then, and certainly isn’t today. But a ruthless competitor? For certain.

That said, Calling what I see/hear etc, what things sound is creating this type of racial controversy at the most upside down social time I can ever think of. Hoping to bring financial attention in the direction of the hard up. After all this time.

Great video!!! Positive vibes Robbie!

Thank you so much! I’m working really hard to have the full podcast released this Saturday! It’s over 90 minutes long

Robbie is terrific and what a fantastic physique.

Robby is the only one who could be up on my Uncles wall in the house!!

Robbie and Bertil Foxx. But Robbie had a beautiful still athletic physique with awesome peaked biceps.

What I appreciate the most about this interview is Robbie's choice to take negativity, read racist rhetoric, and use it to motivate him to be better, to work harder, not to create a militant, victim minded mentality. A vital part of Robbies greatness that continues to this day. He won't be denied.

So, the so-called "militant, victim-minded mentality" isn't as valid as refusing to fight against abuse? And people who fight back aren't "hard working?" You possess no knowledge, no wisdom. You are saying nothing here.

"Victim mentality" that statement is so ignorant and sometimes racist. Years ago, author and professor of sociology, I was at a lecture by Andrew Hacker at Chautauqua Institute. Dr. Hacker, who was white, said that white people expect black people to allow and accept things that they would NEVER accept or tolerate. You are an example of that.

Great interview!

Robby Robinson is a living legend for real!!! And a fierce competitor

Robbie was the Underdog and l always root for the Underdog.... l love the Underdogs of the world.

This is crazy. I’ve followed Bodybuilding for many years and I am just now hearing about the great Black Prince. Why wasn’t Robbie featured more?

Racism, pay attention

Imagine telling him not to flex and say that he should just walk across the stage. Damn

Uncrowned Mr. O and a great ambassador for the sport.

i like the style of robby and his voice like a god of bodybouilding speaks...

Many years ago when I first saw the photo( 7:16) of Robinson and Waller doing a gym pose down, I noticed the worried look on Arnold's face as he's looking on.

Ive never heard of him, as i honestly dont know uch about bodybuilding, but this interview is just great...even him giving so many people props.

I didn't get interested in bodybuilding until the late 80s. I remember picking up the magazines and seeing Robbie featured as much as any current competitor. I had no idea he was "old school" from Arnold's days. Heck, he took fifth in the '87 Olympia. He may be one of the top bodybuilders with the most longevity in the sport.

Salute brodog gr8 story my brother
