Lean and Green Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 WOOO my chest workout today was done with so much emotion and rigor I blasted the hell out of my muscle bellies which were LOADED with glycogen from my refill day. Never have I had such aggression and drive to walk in and out the gym a monster. I am going to continue on and do some final tweaking these next 10 days.. I have ALOT to say about why I lost and what could have drastically changed the decision. Luckily enough, I will be able to make alot of changes for the big show and it will be putting my best foot forward for sure. I am excited to try a different approach which I will talk about in the next VLOG For now please enjoy some of the pictures that thendanisays took of us before and then during the prejudging! http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r97/jackbklyn01/P4110022.jpghttp://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r97/jackbklyn01/P4110024.jpghttp://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r97/jackbklyn01/P4110026.jpghttp://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r97/jackbklyn01/P4110034.jpghttp://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r97/jackbklyn01/P4110035.jpghttp://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r97/jackbklyn01/P4110037.jpghttp://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r97/jackbklyn01/P4110045.jpghttp://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r97/jackbklyn01/P4110061.jpghttp://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r97/jackbklyn01/P4110064.jpghttp://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r97/jackbklyn01/P4110065.jpghttp://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r97/jackbklyn01/P4110068.jpghttp://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r97/jackbklyn01/P4110069.jpghttp://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r97/jackbklyn01/P4110070.jpg Also I have't forgot all the nice things everyone wrote and I would like to acknowledge and respond @Thanks cubby2112 and I most certainly did squeeze em' up there! @MaryStella, the abs weren't enough and seemingly took away from my upper body actually as they're so developed! Next show I am coming in much differently and we'll see how it works! @Mikkei; hope we showed em'! Thanks for all your help and assistance and support and overall awesomeness in general. I enjoyed your company most importantly and Shauna as well (did i spell it right); she rocks! Your review was great too I read it! @Dean; thanks man; hope you're enjoying the Sunwarrior and freebies. Let me know if there is anything I can ever do for you going forward as well @Hsorlando; thanks for your best of luck, it hit the spot when i was stressing out like mad the day before! @DCNINJA; regardless of what you heard, it didn't seem to matter to the judges. I felt it was heavily biased on size. All well and good; i'll adjust accordingly. INBF, let's see what's up with this show; should be interesting. They're the org that placed me at the top for conditioning back in the day. I'll be fuller also though, on purpose Thanks for all your kind words. I hear your one of the top ninjas nationwide! Richard betta watch out over there in England! I am going to get huge this year, provided everything goes according to plan. But for now let's focus on the final stretch and new methods of showing. @Tuc; I agree wholeheartedly but ti is what it is. They just want me to last and work harder and i hear that message. It's all good. Thanks for telling me i'm highlighting th ebest in raw veganism. That feels really good to hear. I hate the even greater stigmata about us as far as being 'stick' figures and I really hope this doesn't contribute to that. I did the best I could with my parameters and timeframe @OctoPussior; i know brother. We're gonna make sure that doesn't happen to yuo. I'll hit you up this week about it. That's what was so good about this practice run. It gave us a chance to see what's up and now we'll not make the same mistakes twice for the grand finale. @bvp663; I love that pic too man! DarthVegan took a SWEEEEET shot; big ups to you Randall!!!! Thanks so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Nice work man! You were shredded! Much leaner than me! I worked 2 hours in the gym today sweating to try to fix that...and back on low carbs (sorry I was starving on the phone and had to go shortly tonight). Anyway, looking SWEET dude! Well done! I really need to tighten things up, especially in my stomach and chest! Cool to see pics...I haven't seen many yet. Almost 3AM and we're both still up......we need more REST! Just sent out newsletter, hope to get more funding to keep us going through AZ and still allow me to pay rent on time. I was late last month and fined $100....just not enough to get the bills paid on time...but working hard to fix that! Thanks for all the work www.veganproteins.com is doing to help raise funds! Can't do it without you! Yeah Buddy! ...go to sleep.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lean and Green Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 Yea brother we really need a daytime hobby. Oh wait we do that already and we still never sleep! In my defense; I took a 3 hours daytime nap today and over 8 hours the night before. Unfortunately the 3 hours nap was right after 4 1/2 minutes into a nice romantic movie that I was looking forward to cuddling up with thedanisays to watch. I guess I really screwed that one up!!!!!!!!!!!1 I tried my baby. Let's watch it soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zack Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I see why they gave it to Robert from these pics, his chest and back do look quite a bit better, but the lack of abs should have cost him, imo. (no hate) I'm liking how much you've improved your back robert, looks so solid compared to before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjohanx Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 L&G your arms, shoulders and legs are def better than Roberts but I gotta give it to him because of his back mostly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCNINJA Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Looking through these photos I gotta say to both Robert and LNG, outstanding. I am truly impressed with the level of conditioning you both had. Robert came in larger than I expected. You both did awesome. You guys will light it up in AZ.

Octopussoir Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 OK Giac, Now I see where the chest comments come from. Dude your freaking rib cage is so massive that it stunts your chest. Id say your legs come in almost to a tie. Yours looks tighter in all the pics... you both are gonna kill me in that dept. Mine look okay, but def not that good! Bro, you def rocked it no matter what a judge says. Be positive and please dont bash... Its okay because you should learn from that and be better every competition from here on out! One tip Id like to bring up. Dont lean so far forward when you display your abs and legs. Try to be straight up and dont pull on your head. I think it took away from that pose a bit. Other than that I cant find any flaws bro. LETS ROCK OUT WITH OUR COCKs OUT IN ARIZONA!! Oh wait...nevermind. ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Hotel info is booked! Only thing left is rental van and I'll do that asap! Lean and Green...I see you're still up too, eh? Almost 3AM...I think it's nap time soon..I'm up at 6:30AM...no time to sleep these days. I just re-sent a press release to the New York Times, also contacted the Wall Street Journal, Organic Lifestyle Magazine and will touch base with some local publications. I reached out to NaturalNews.com but they were not interested or didn't have local reporters to cover it....VegNews isn't sure what they can do...but I'm still working on media stuff. No time to sleep these days, too much to do. Have a great weekend! RC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave vs. Robzilla Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I reached out to NaturalNews.com but they were not interested or didn't have local reporters to cover it....VegNews isn't sure what they can do...but I'm still working on media stuff. I just emailed VegNews to see if they'd be interested in publishing an article I'd write about the event / documentary. If they decline, I'll probably contact NaturalNews, since they have a citizen correspondent news section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
