When two bodybuilders of different generations come together to work out, it’s always a delight for the fans to watch. The bodybuilding world recently witnessed a similar iconic moment when The Black Prince, A.K.A., Robby Robinson, joined Mike O’Hearn for an intense arm workout session. However, the highlight of the whole training was the exceptional physique of the 76-year-old bodybuilder. 

Robby Robinson has been in the fitness industry for more than five decades and has many impressive achievements in bodybuilding from winning the Mr. Universe to featuring in the iconic Pumping Iron documentary. However, the recent workout video of the legendary bodybuilder has garnered a lot of attention from fans.

In a recent video uploaded by Mike O’Hearn on his official YouTube channel, Robinson is seen training with O’Hearn. Robinson, despite his age, shows no signs of slowing down as he pushes himself to the limit while working out with Mike. Robby is seen performing the barbell curl with perfect form while his workout partner kept motivating him throughout the exercise. However, the biggest attraction of the video came once he completed the set.

Toward the end of the workout, Robinson gave a bicep pose, which left O’Hearn in awe of his shredded physique. In the video, Robinson can be seen flexing his bicep, which is still impressively shredded and defined. Even Mike was impressed with his inspiration’s well-defined physique.

While many people are huge fans of Robby’s chiseled abs and shredded physique, only a few know the hard work he had to put in to achieve that. During the workout session, the Black Prince also highlighted the sacrifices that one has two make in order to excel in the sport. He pointed out that the person should be willing to give everything to the sport, otherwise, it will be better to leave it, rather than do it half-heartedly.

“If you are not willing to put in the work… seriously time to go home and have a pizza. Sorry guys. No disrespect. It’s a lot of hard work,” he said in the video. The fact that the 76-year-old veteran was able to keep up with a bodybuilder almost 20 years younger than him, is in itself a testament to his extraordinary strength. Fans would be hoping to see many more similar videos that can serve as an example of the fact that age is just a number.
