Vegan Bodybuilding is not an Oxymoron
by Robert Cheeke, Vegan Bodybuilder, January 7th 2007
If there is a question vegans hear more than any other, it is, How do you get your protein? I often respond by asking the individual if they know anyone with a protein deficiency. Protein is found in nearly all foods and they are abundant in seeds, nuts, legumes, fruits, vegetables and other plant-based foods... more

We are Bodybuilders
by Robert Cheeke, Vegan Bodybuilder, September 15th 2004
When bodybuilders travel we are often on the receiving end of many odd and strange looks from the public. Not just because we have larger than average physiques, chiseled with rock hard muscle, but because we have behaviors that are foreign to most people. Observers stare and watch as we... more

True Intensity
by Robert Cheeke, Vegan Bodybuilder, July 21st, 2004
Whenever I hear someone say, “My workout today was really intense,” In my head I’m thinking, “Yeah right.” We all have our own perception and ideas about measurement of intensity. What is intense for one person may be a walk in the park for another person. I can imagine that walking up a steep hill for 30 minutes would be quite intense for... more

As I See It...
by Robert Cheeke, Vegan Bodybuilder, July 8th, 2004
In the March 2000 issue of Muscle Media Magazine, Bill Phillips had a story titled As I see it. He sat down in his house, and for five hours he thought of ideas that would be motivating for readers of his magazine. He wrote them down and had them listed in his magazine. I read that story over and over and I decided to come up with 82 of my own quotes, visions, and things to consider when climbing the ladder of success... more |

Body Transformation
by Robert Cheeke, Vegan Bodybuilder July 6th, 2004
I always wanted to get bigger and stronger so when I was 19 years old I finally took a serious approach to improve my physique. I decided to participate in the Bill Phillips' Body-for-Life Challenge 2000. I started at 157 pounds and 12 weeks later finished at 176. With the proper financial backing I could have managed even greater gains. That was the first time I was consistent and averaged six meals a day and along with training 6 days a week.
When I moved to Arizona in the summer of 2000 I switched from fitness to bodybuilding. IFBB Pro Bodybuilder Troy Alves trained me and taught me new training principles and nutritional habits... more |

Bodybuilding Basics
by Robert Cheeke, Vegan Bodybuilder, May 18th, 2004
To be a successful bodybuilder, you need to first start with the basics and be patient and allow your progress to take place. You must understand that results do not come overnight and to achieve a desired look you have to put in the time and dedicate hard work toward achieving your goals.
Bodybuilding basics include creating a workout schedule and sticking to it. This doesn’t mean doing the same exercises, it means training consistently with purpose and having a goal in mind. It means going to the gym even on the days you don’t really feel like it. It means making time to stay on schedule and stay on track. Don’t ever say, “I ran out of time to train today;” make time... more

How I got Started in Bodybuilding
by Robert Cheeke, Vegan Bodybuilder, February 28th, 2004
Ever
since I was a little kid, I was fascinated with larger than life muscle Gods like He-Man and professional wrestlers such as Hulk Hogan and The Ultimate Warrior. I was always small and skinny. Genetically, my little brothers, my older sister, and I were all tiny. I was often the smallest guy in my class in grade school and at the age of 14, I only weighed 89 pounds... more

Testimonials
"After fitness failures on a mainstream vegetarian diet, I decided I should give veganism a try. I was surprised to learn there was an entire website devoted to vegan bodybuilding, and that there was more than one vegan bodybuilder. Like someone first learning to swim I just looked at the pool. I would check the site a few times a week to read articles. Then I put my foot in to test the waters, I made a post on the message boards. Now I'm swimming around and my life has changed completely though I still have plenty of growing to do. I owe so many thanks to Rob and the others on this site who have been so supportive. I can truly say I couldn't have done it without you." -- Brian E. , Denton, TX ... more |
