Biography of Eddie Robinson

Eddie Robinson is an IFBB professional bodybuilder and powerlifter born and raised in Ohio, USA. His fitness journey began at an early age, turning to sports such as boxing, American football and other competitive sports.

He began to build a reputation as a skilled American football player in his youth, but difficulties at home meant that his career in the sport would soon grind to a halt.

Because of this, Eddie was forced to say goodbye to his American football playing days. During this time, his family went through financial difficulties, so Eddie was forced to start working at a young age in order to make ends meet – supporting his family through these hard times.

Eventually, Eddie was able to overcome his tough childhood, earning success as a powerlifter and bodybuilder. By achieving this, Eddie was able to move forward in his fitness journey.

Eddie’s career as a powerlifter didn’t take long to take off, storming to several first placed finishes including in his first competition – the 1982 Mr Largo. Upon winning the competition, Eddie knew that he was destined for greatness in the sport – able to take his fitness journey to the next level.

Eventually, Eddie set two world records in his powerlifting career. Firstly, at the Buckeye Strong Man 1985 with 575 lbs in the bench press. Then, at the Florida State Bench Press Rick Poston 1986, when he benched an incredible 610 lbs.

The peak of his bodybuilding career came in 1989, where Eddie was able to earn his pro card to become Mr USA. He continued to appear in competitions right up until the 1999 Toronto Pro Invitational where he finished in 8th place. From this point, he would no longer appear on stage.
