Ultimate legend team up.

Bodybuilding is a very interesting athletic endeavor for a number of different reasons. It requires an almost obsessive dedication to improving yourself constantly. You have to be built up both physically and mentally in order to see some great results and if you’re not then your plans of having a shredded form will crash and burn pretty quickly. Bodybuilding is an endeavor that brings out some of the most talented and multifaceted athletes out there ranging from football players to entertainers. No matter what walk of life a person may come from, the dedication to building quality muscle is a linchpin that every bodybuilding enthusiast can relate to.

Mike O’Hearn, outspoken natural bodybuilder and entertainer, is a pretty inspirational figure in the fitness community. He’s always encouraging athletes to train hard and take an alternate route of building muscle rather than just relying on anabolic substances. Many people of questioned that validity of his statements, often times claiming that the man is outright lying about his steroid use. But whatever camp you may happen to fall into, one thing is certain, O’Hearn works hard and trains his ass off. There’s no way he’d be able to build the kind of muscle he has without some real dedication.

Robby Robinson is a former bodybuilding champion that has captured numerous different titles. Starting his athletic career as a football player and track and field, Robinson discovered in his high school and college years that he had great genetics for building massive muscle. He soon turned his attention to bodybuilding and, after competing in over three hundred amateur competitions, decided to go pro. As a result he competed against legends like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno, Serge Nubret, and Frank Zane during the Golden Era of bodybuilding. He even appeared in the 1977 classic Pumping Iron. Robinson’s accolades speak for themselves having won first place at the first ever Night of Champions event as well as taking first in the Olympia Heavyweight class. He competed into his fifties and won a number of Masters Olympias and other over fifty competitions.

What do these two have in common? Besides a being dedicated to building muscle, the two are admirers of each others work ethic and abilities. It’s perhaps why the two bodybuilding standouts teamed up for this awesome workout video filmed at the “Mecca of Bodybuilding” Gold’s Gym. Check out their intense workout session in the video below.
