Russ Testo revolutionized posing in the 1980’s and ’90’s with his innovative routines featuring robot moves and lip syncing to the popular songs of that era. Russ began competing in the 1970’s as a natural bodybuilder but he achieved worldwide fame thanks to his very popular posing routines. He was asked to guest pose at the Mr. Olympia in 1981 and 1986 for Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jim Lorimer and the 1983 Mr. Olympia in Munich, Germany for Albert Busek. In his interview with the Bodybuilding Legends Podcast, Russ talks about his experiences posing all around the world for the last four decades and some of the iconic figures he met in the bodybuilding world. At the end of the podcast, host John Hansen reads an article from the January, 1981 issue of IronMan Magazine called “Frank Zane – How He Trained” written by Garry Bartlett.
