Former Mr. Universe Mike O’Hearn has exploded in popularity with the “baby don’t hurt me” memes. However, that hasn’t spotted him from doing what he does best, sharing valuable bodybuilding information with his followers. Earlier today, the four-time Mr. Universe winner uploaded one of his favorite tricep movements on YouTube. While working out with one of his bodybuilding idols, the 54-year-old filmed their session.
O’Hearn then took a clip from the entire session containing the particular exercise he wanted to show, and uploaded it. Along with O’Hearn, the 76-year-old Masters Olympia winner also explained how the movement isolates the triceps for maximum growth.

Unlike most other YouTubers O’Hearn wastes no time getting right to the point. The “movement” he mentions in the title is visible from the first second of the video. The video starts with 76-year-old Robby Robinson sitting at a cable machine at Gold’s Gym in Venice, California. O’Hearn stands beside Robinson as the veteran does rep after rep of rope overhead triceps extension.
The rope overhead tricep extension is a more advanced version of the standard triceps extension. While people do the conventional extension movement standing up and pulling the cable down, the overhead version is the exact opposite. In the video, The Black Prince pulls the weight from behind his head until his elbows lock out at the topmost position.
After Robinson, the 54-year-old takes the seat and explains how the movement isolates the triceps. According to the Master Olympia winner, the overhead version minimizes shoulder assistance. “All triceps, all three heads… you see it through the sleeves,” says Robinson. The two switch between sets and show the movement in more detail throughout the video.
O’Hearn ended the recording by saying the clip was only part of their workout. He tried to show the fans “a percentage of what’s reasonable, to be like the Black Prince.” He also addressed the 76-year-old as “one of the three GOATs” of bodybuilding.
Absolutely shredded at 76
The former competitive powerlifter counts Robi Robinson as one the greatest ever because of his dedication to bodybuilding. Despite being 76, Robinson maintains a shredded and muscular physique. Not just that, but he is also capable of keeping pace with someone over 20 years younger than him.

O’Hearn, who also maintains a shredded physique at 54 finds Robinson inspiring. While some bodybuilders don’t pay attention to longevity, the American Gladiators star isn’t among them. Instead, he wants to keep training and maintain a physique like the former Marster Olympia winner when he hits 70. While the bodybuilding icon didn’t upload their full workout, there is always a chance he will upload more helpful clips for his fans to learn from.
