Irrespective of challenges in the competitive arena, Robby Robinson never gave up on his gym sessions. Around five decades down the lane, he still trains with the same enthusiasm and perfection. The Black Prince of bodybuilding took to lifting weights at Beach’s Gold’s Gym in 1975 in Venice.

Recently, Robinson and Mike O’Hearn had an arm workout day together. O’Hearn shared a video of their training on his YouTube channel. During the session, the 77-year-old bodybuilder taught O’Hearn the secret of building big arms. O’Hearn, known for his role in American Gladiators, was impressed by the traditional bodybuilding techniques used by Robinson.
