chesty leroux Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 I love that first pic. You were so skinny and cute and your hair sticks up. It makes me laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrispyQ Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 My husband & I both enjoyed viewing these. The difference between 2000 & 2001 is incredible! And of course, every following year just gets better. Great work!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelhobson Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Thanks Rob! I have seen most of the pics before, but it's fun seeing them all in one place. PS I think people at work are starting to wonder about me. All too often, I'm seen looking at pictures of guys in speedos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willpeavy Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 HUGE difference between 2000 and 2002. Good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted November 14, 2005 Author Share Posted November 14, 2005 Thanks for the comments.....yeah, there is a HUGE difference between 2000 and 2001. When you first initially start a bodybuilding program you see the most gains...then it takes a little while to see progress the longer you do it. 2001 was by far my most hardcore year training. I was pretty crazy back then. I still train hard but 2001 was so hardcore I ended up tearing 3 muscles all at different times and was in the hospital with mono. I had more mental power back then than ever. I could push it to some pretty insane limits, vomitting in the gym, screaming through workouts, and weeping from the pain. I got some great results but pushed it too hard and was sick and injured as a result. I train a little smarter now and still get good results. It's funny to see where I've come from. I forgot to list the weights, but in that first photo I was 130 pounds or less as a sophomore in high school. In one photo from 2003 wearing pink posing trunks I was around 190 pounds so I went up quite a bit. Thanks for the comments. We'll see what 2006 looks like soon. -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willpeavy Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Hey Rob are you related to Peter Cheeke? I seem him quoted a lot in vegetarian/environmentalist aritlces and websites. He has the same last name as you and is a professor in Oregon, so I thought there might be some relation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 I know we got a bunch of new members recently so I thought I'd bring this back up to the front to show that in a short amount of time you can make great progress! For example: This was me when I started: http://www.veganbodybuilding.com/images/transform8.jpg And this is me NOW, a few years later: http://myspace-496.vo.llnwd.net/00289/69/47/289617496_l.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compassionategirl Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Great idea to resurrect this thread. Attention all newcomers: The mind-blowing transition and muscle gains was achieved by Robert through an entirely VEGAN diet and NO steroids and whatnot That should pretty much once and for all shoot down the misconception that you need to eat animal proteins to achieve these kinds of gains.

offense74 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Awesome! You have to work on some mean facial expressions though. You still look as nice as in -96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 Thanks for the feedback! Thanks also Nat for pointing out that the transformation was ALL NATURAL and 100% Vegan. From around 157lbs with some bodyfat to 193 pounds with probably less bodyfat! That final picture in pink is only at 178 pounds, pretty much no bodyfat, all veins Thanks Offense, I was a baby back in 96' only a 16 year old kid in that photo when I first went vegan. I was around 125 pounds I think. I'll work on the expressions How are these for facial expressions? http://www.evrimicoz.com/temp/Robert/015_030706_robertcheeke_ed1_8x10c_c1_std.jpg http://www.evrimicoz.com/temp/Robert/002_030706_robertcheeke_std.jpg Ok....let's face it....I just like to SMILE! http://www.evrimicoz.com/temp/Robert/154732_4689_std.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xChrisZx Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 The change is amazing. I am working on slimming down right now then hopefully will bulk up.I just had surgery and havent been able to go to the gym at all but I am almost healed so I will be back there very soon.

robert Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 Thanks Chris, I think I'll start a body transformation thread somewhere just with images of before and after. We them all over the site of Me, Topher, Jonathan, and others, and we have some on the main website too. It would be cool to have a thread where people can post there before and after shots and update them anytime. So I think I'll get that started in the Photos section. -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finbarrio Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 Awesome progression! The facial expressions (big smiles ) while you're competing show how much you truly love what you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 Thanks Crash The one in VegNews isn't online yet. I'll try to put it up online soon. It is a photo of me sitting on a park bench in Norway. So not a posing photo or bodybuilding photo. Just me on a bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
