Crystal Posted August 4, 2006 Author Share Posted August 4, 2006 Excuses, excuses Robert , just kidding we know you've been ill . Here are some pictures from training, First off, VeganPotter doing declines:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/DSCF0011.jpg Daywalker Deadlifting:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/DSCF0012.jpg Robert on the declines:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/DSCF0016.jpg Daywalker bent rows:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/DSCF0019.jpg Keegan bent rows:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/DSCF0002-1.jpg Daywalker ending on some shoulder presses:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/DSCF0003-1.jpg Was a great training session, I'm looking forward to more (especially because we were all in matching Vegan Fitness shirts).

robert Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 This will become one of the greatest threads! Crystal needs to be around all the time to take the awesome photos She's in a bunch too, we just had too many cameras going, we don't know where to find everything I really wish I could have trained. I just took photos and watched, aside from doing a few sets for the camera I'm still not feeling near 100%, but at least I can somewhat talk again. So I can't complain too much. Just need to get back to my old self soon (recovering from cold). The Oregonian (Large Newspaper out here, maybe over a million readers) will be hanging out with us at one of our gym sessions to do a story on Vegan Vacation. It should be awesome. I'll be ready by then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveliberate Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Thanks for taking all these photos! They just helped me remember a suggestion - how about some " Intro to Vegan Fitness" &/or "Vegan Bodybuilding & Strength Training 101" skillshare workshops? It may be too late for this V.V. but I think it would be great for folks wanting to get started to have accomplished athletes in front of them to learn from and be inspired by!

robert Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 We'll do some of this at the training sessions Hope you can make it, they should rock! Check out the light beam coming into Daywalker's head in the barbell rows and my face smashed up against the rail in my barbell rows. I guess it was just the angle, but it looks pretty awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveliberate Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Without childcare or a safe place for the kids at the gym, I probably wont make it... Hey Crystal - how about sharing some of those VF photos here? If yr up for it, I'd love to see some V.V. photos on the relevant VF thread too! Thanks again for taking all these photos!

Guest Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Finbarrio, Shouldn't it be a Vegan Non-Vacation... They way you have it makes it sound like you are no longer vegan *gasp* Yes it is true that you are no longer vegan if you are not here for the vacation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Hey Potter - are you going to join the flexing fun next time? Later I will join the flexing when we show muscles that I still have...in my upper body I only have traps left and OK bicept considering I never do anything with them...but my legs are still pretty massive so we'll get some up As for the bench pics I felt suprisignly good doing them since I've only done about 100pushups on 10 months which is the extent of my chest training. I think I'll be back up to 250 on flat within 3 months if I can get into the gym the way I plan to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Great pictures -- everyone looks so fit and muscular ! It looks like you guys are having alot of fun; I wish I was there (especially for a donut like the one Mt. Cheeke had .) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_raVen_ Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Looks a fun! Keep the pictures coming. Do you think you All have enough vegan sweets to keep you going? I'm worried you may not be getting enough carbs for all the activities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I think I have about a months worth of carbs...but maybe not now since its probably all fat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Nice to talk with you on the phone today K-oz! The hanging back contest was crazy! All records were broken. Daywalker sung a song to me today in the park, it was awesome! Then he continued singing in the car while flexing his arm out the window Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No there are many vegans that just live in Portland anyway...even if they cannot attend our activities they are still vegan for diluting the aroma of the 3-4 non-vegans in the city.

robert Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Yeah, our forum member count isn't huge, but the amount of vegans around here is pretty crazy. We had about 60 people for dinner last night And everywhere we go we bump into other vegans. Some recognize us from the website or DVD and offer free goods, which is always appreciated, and it's just cool to meet other people who don't ask us what we eat for protein......unless they want to know specific foods Daywalker eats to get to huge and strong. We still have pretty good forum turnout, but it's also great to meet all the locals too. Well, another hour and then off to the gym. Everyone is napping now but I have work to do and veganpotter just doesn't nap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they are not on "vacation" but they join in, so it's cool. We get to do some networking that way. Some turnouts have been great, others smaller, but it's all fun, big or small crowd. Hopefully it will get bigger and bigger each year. We'll just keep on building the community here and get people excited to do it all again a year from now.

Guest Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Its only nice if they take part but if they don't thats somewhat OK too since they are who make this city great...otherwise there wouldn't be so many vegan spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystal Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 These pictures speak for themselves; they involves two vegans, soft serve vegan ice cream and a spoon: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4493.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4494.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
