Bodybuilding is a process, and people who stick to it with discipline are blessed with a physique enviable to all. Former American bodybuilder Robby Robinson is a living example of that notion. The IFBB Pro earned nicknames such as The Black Prince and Mr. Lifestyle during his career. And he has proved once again why he is respected so much in the bodybuilding community. 

Robby Robinson, the 76-year-old bodybuilder, recently took to Instagram to share a picture of him with a motivating caption. The picture of his insanely ripped physique was enough to draw all attention toward it. However, the caption was equally impactful and strong.

Robinson wrote in his latest Instagram post, “I KNOW FOR SURE WHAT YOU DWELL ON YOU BECOME—THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF PEOPLE WHO WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU CANNOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THIS WORLD: THOSE-WHO ARE AFRAID TO TRY AND THOSE WHO ARE AFRAID YOU WILL SUCCEED…YOU CAN YOU SHOULD AND IF YOU’RE. BRAVE ENOUGH TO START, YOU WILL. RR this photo was taken two wks ago”.

By mentioning when the photo was taken, he subtly hinted at the authenticity of his bodybuilding abilities even at his age. It was paramount proof that age is not an obstruction to building and maintaining a physique like that. He was also pushing everyone to go out there and achieve their goals without paying any heed to negativity.

Robinson was posing in the picture with his arms outstretched to his waist. He was wearing headgear, black pants, and dark glasses and posing to the camera as if he was making a point. But it was his body that was making a case for itself. His muscles gave his body a chiseled look, his abs were forming the perfect cuts, and veins were popping out all across his torso. He looked like he hasn’t aged a single day from when he last took the professional stage in 2001. But things haven’t been always this smooth for Robinson.

Returning from the claws of death

His current physique is a testament to his hard work, but when one of his previous horrid conditions is accounted for, it is even more astounding. He once nearly died after using steroids, whose effects were exacerbated due to his bouts of sickness. Robinson recalled the incident two months ago, about the time he was walking back from Gold’s Gym and he collapsed in front of his door.

Robinson didn’t think he could make it then. He felt like he nearly died. But to be here with his incredible physique from staring down death, Robinson has clearly defied all odds.
