This was a great read. He is upfront and honest about drug usage, current pro's, the way shows are judged, etc, etc

Its from several months ago actually. I have the magazine. Gread read btw. Did you see the type of cycles that are common among pro's today? His guru told him to use 800 mg of cyp and 300 mg of dbol every day to get ready for the masters, along with 18 iu's of hgh ed. I've been trying to point out for some time on here that these doses are common today among pro's. Robby's interview should give some perspective on that for alot of bro's.

What mag was that from? I got it from Robbys site.

Yes, the drug usage is crazy! Too many people are blind to it. I think a lot of guys today are just relying too much on the drugs. I look at Sergio Olivia, that guy was almost as thick as todays guys, except he had a waist. With a tiny bit of gh, and a tad bit higher dose, he would have killed todays guys. 800mg a day, thats insane. If someone told me to take that, along with all that other crap, I would have done the same as Robby.

On another note, I wonder why they ask Robby how he feels about never getting the O. He won the very first Masters Olympia shown in Stand Tall.

Fascinating to hear about those dosages. Crazy......

 

[papucho]

yes at some point you think "unreal" and then you take a look at Andreas Munzer stack...... and it makes sense..

 

[Atomic Punk]

What's the deal with his though.....

Q: How would you respond to a statement that your body was the result of just using drugs such as anabolic steroids?

A: I would say that anyone who voices that opinion doesn’t know me. I’d estimate that about 80% of any success I’ve achieved as a pro bodybuilding competitor resulted from plain old busting my butt in the gym, day in and day out for years. Look at Coleman. The weights he uses are humongous, how can he not be huge? He’s probably the strongest bodybuilder in the game.

Is he denyiing using roids here? If so, throw all his honesty out the window about todays BB'ers, if he can't even be honest about his own useage.

AP, not once did he ever deny his own drug use. The guy asked him if his physique is the result of using drugs. You know as well as I that it's not. He's one of the all time greats because of one VERY important thing that ALOT people seem to forget. GENETICS!!! This is why Coleman, Levrone & Wheeler have dominated bodybuilding for the past 10 years. Taking grams of gear won't automatically make you, Mr.Olympia. These guys are in the gym just busting their butts, too.

 

[c3bodybuilding]

He wasn't denying anything. As Texas put, he was simply stating that 80% comes from hard work, the rest is supplements, food, steroids, etc. If someone accused all your hard work of being just because of steroids, and then someone asked you how you felt about that, you would probably give the same answer. Basically they are an aid, but not a crutch.

I'm glad The Diesel Dorian Yates wasn't told about these guys dominating bodybuilding over the past 10 years

I'm sure he relies on the scoreboard:

Yates: 5 Mr O titles (plus one the year before '92)

Coleman, Levrone & Wheeler combined: 5 Mr O titles

 

[Krazykat]

actually he was advised 500mg dianabol!
