Not Seen on Stage Since 2001, Bodybuilding Legend Approaching 80s Still Lifts More Weight Than Modern-Day Youngsters in the Gym

Bodybuilding pioneer, Robby Robinson’s 27-year career has been the real deal. After embarking on his journey in 1975, he paved the way for his community?s future in the sport. He struggled immensely with discrimination, steroids, and even sickle cell anemia. Despite that, he triumphed and derived the alias, The Black Prince. He retired from the sport at 55, last competing in 2001, yet, his passion for the sport is constant. Even today, he lifts more weight than most young athletes.

In a recent YouTube interview posted by IFBB sensation, Michael O?Hearn, the former athlete was seen killing an intense leg workout with massive weights. The fact that he is nearing his 80s, and still pushes himself to the core was the ultimate point of intrigue encouraging a comparison with today?s youth.?

As per the video that surfaced today, the 76-year-old pro was hitting the leg press workout loaded with nine plates. O?Hearn and his wife, Mona Muresan, an inspiring figure competitor, also reached the gym where the legend was working out and captured him on camera. Robinson donning his iconic look, purple cap, and black shades, smoothly powered through the exercise.?

The Romanian native chimed in from behind the camera while the 54-year-old athlete was seated. She said, ?Guys for someone just to lift the nine plates, just to lift it off the rack, that?s power.? Muresan hinted toward Robinson?s exceptional feat and claimed the man almost in his 80s could easily beat even the best from today?s generation of bodybuilders.
