    Early life

    Robert Oberst attended high school at Aptos High School in Aptos, California. It was there he played football and track and field, lettering four times in football and once in track and field. He then went on to continue playing football at the collegiate level at Western Oregon University majoring in history. Robert graduated from Western Oregon University in 2008. After college, Robert gave the NFL a shot, but unfortunately did not make the cut. Soon after, Robert got into bouncing at a nightclub. It was there that one of Robert's coworkers introduced him to the world of Strongman competitions and encouraged him to train for the events. Only four months after, Oberst had received his Pro-Card.

    Diet

    "(My diet) is very strict,” he says. “I get one day off every four weeks where I can eat what I want... I eat three-and-a-half pounds of meat a day, six cups of rice, a bunch of pasta, and no cheese or dairy. It’s just all high protein, low fat stuff.”
