Robby Robinson and Nick Walker Continue to Trade Words on Social Media
Robby Robinson and Nick Walker Continue to Trade Words on Social Media
It seems as if Robby Robinson and recent Arnold Classic winner Nick Walker are continuing to share words online. After the legendary Robinson shared his opinion on the state of modern bodybuilding, a confrontation with Walker was all but inevitable. Accept it didn’t quite turn out in the way that many expected.
Rather than retaliating with harsh words and name calling, it appears that Nick Walker has chosen to take a more diplomatic approach. Walker commented on a recent post made by Robby Robinson in perhaps the least offensive comeback ever.
The Beef Continues
The post in question is a classic photo of Robby Robinson at the height of his powers. He looks truly impressive in the image and the epitome of the classic bodybuilder.
In the post Nick Walker took to the comments to say the following.
While someone could interpret this as Walker being tongue in cheek, there’s really no way to tell if the statement was meant to be hostile or goading. On face value alone it appears to be a very polite statement and nothing more.
Robinson Remains Undeterred
After the post and the comment, Robby Robinson put up another post, detailing that he has been harassed online for his opinions on Nick Walker.
I have gotten a bunch of [email protected] , nasty comments, cussed out..
To all INHALE…..
Nothing can you say to me, write, text me, the n word ,call me a grand pa, ( honored ) Dork, washed up..I am unconsumed by any ones fear. TOTALLY ARMED UNAFRAID. . .
If you think this is healthy. Something you would use as a MOTIVATIONAL EMPOWERMENT. Something you would ADMIRE .. THEN YOU need to have a long SERIOUS CONVERSATION WITH YOURSELF….RR .. STILL HAVE THEM ..
With all this back and forth the reality is that bodybuilding isn’t going to change. Many say that Classic Physique exists for those individuals with similar tastes to Robby Robinson. Men’s Open Bodybuilding is unlikely to return to the days of yore when competitors that looked like Robinson were the norm.
At this point the argument is likely to fall on deaf ears. Many like the massive physiques of bodybuilding these days. At this point it seems like mass monsters are here to stay.
