The use of steroids was pretty common in bodybuilding at the end of the 19th century.

He continued, “I built my physique from just straight food, hard work, discipline, posing — when I came here in ’75, I knew something was in the milk wasn’t clean, but I didn’t know what. So, I didn’t ask anybody because everybody is a little private,”

Robinson continued to stand firm in his belief

When Robinson spent more time among the other bodybuilders, he gradually got to know about substance use for enhancing his physique. However, according to him, he never confirmed nor asked about what exactly it is.

Robby added, “Honestly, I had no idea you had to use something to build your body. I thought it was God’s gift. You have everything in that body to build that body. I really believe that to this day.”
