More Robert E. Dickson


One of my earliest role models and images of what a great gymnast was. Robert has also written a book about training called, appropriately " Cut through the crap" about debunking myths in exercise and diet. I am getting my own copy from the man himself. Facebook does have it's uses.What a great opportunity to make contact with one of my early Heroes and an Alumni of my own Alma Mater at that!
Robert was an Olympic gymnast, acrobat, stunt driver( car and motorcycle), high diver,stunt double and comic!
