robert Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I went to Historic Muscle Beach today and trained for more than 2 hours in the sun! Now my arms and face are red, but it's not a bad burn. It was an awesome time. I met some funn characters there, saw lots of people, threw around a lot of iron and ate well at Good Karma, a Vegan Fast Food To Go Restaurant 20 feet from the gym. Brendan went for a run and then joined me for a bit in the gym. I trained legs for about 90 minutes and then moved on to arms. Here are some images from the session: Muscle Beach meet Robert Cheeke - Leg Press time. I nearly filled the machine. http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/VeganBodybuilder/muscle1.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/VeganBodybuilder/muscle2.jpg Brendan showed up and we pumped up. He out muscles me in many photos. Well.....out veins me I'm larger but he is more shredded for sure! http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/VeganBodybuilder/muscle3.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/VeganBodybuilder/muscle4.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/VeganBodybuilder/muscle5.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/VeganBodybuilder/muscle6.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/VeganBodybuilder/muscle7.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/VeganBodybuilder/muscle8.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/VeganBodybuilder/muscle9.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/VeganBodybuilder/muscle10.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/VeganBodybuilder/muscle11.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/VeganBodybuilder/muscle12.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/VeganBodybuilder/muscle14.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/VeganBodybuilder/muscle13.jpg After one last set up dips it is Finally Time To Eat! http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/VeganBodybuilder/muscle15.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/VeganBodybuilder/muscle16.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/VeganBodybuilder/muscle17.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/VeganBodybuilder/muscle18.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/VeganBodybuilder/muscle19.jpg Vegan "chicken sandwich" to go.

pelicanAndrew Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Oh wow very cool. Brendan does look mighty shredded... and that chicken sandwich.... delish!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjonfastx Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 There is also a Good Karma in San Jose. I'm not sure if its the same owner or if its just a coincidence...either way...it is very delicious and all vegan as well.Cali looks pretty as always...I miss it!

robert Posted March 15, 2007 Author Share Posted March 15, 2007 I just asked Brendan and he thinks it is different owners. These same owners that have the one on Muscle Beach in Venice also have one in San Diego but we think they just have those two locations. There are soooooooooooooo many vegan spots in California, especially in and around L.A. !! I think I'll try to live here part of the year and Portland the other part of the year and have great weather all the time and great business opportunities too.

gourmet VEGAN chef Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 I didn't know that venice beach has such a place but I know for a fact that I miss L.A.! A place like that and a vegan place next door, I can see you were having a great time. Both of you are in an awesome shape! GOOD JOB!!Did you go to Juliano's Raw?

robert Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 I have to admit, I'm a little disappointed nobody noticed my calf in this photo: http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/VeganBodybuilder/muscle21.jpg I'm really getting back into bodybuilding and thought it was a pretty good calf photo but it seems like it was overlooked by the vegan "chicken" sandwich from Good Karma. I guess I need to make freakier legs to get noticed. I'll get right on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorilla Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I noticed the calf muscle Rob! Nice development!! Oh and check this out LOL: http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/VeganBodybuilder/muscle16.jpg Looking awesome (one straight guy to another) - the whole Roman, "aquiline" nose and big arms going on, and right above a sign saying: "PICK UP POINT" LOL Don't get worried Tigress - I don't think any ladies came to pick him up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 hahaha, I didn't even notice that or think about that and the funny thing is, that is the kind of thing I would have posed in front of! But I would have done more of a boy band pose for that "pick-up window" sign had I even thought about it. I trained hard for 2 hours in the sun so I wasn't thinking very well that afternoon. Glad some people noticed the calf. I did 15 sets of calf raises in the phone store waiting for Brendan to get signed up for a new phone plan. I think the employees probably thought I was silly because I was even sweating and doing sets to near failure (high rep - hard contractions) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 I didn't say anything because I thought it was just a regular awesome picture of your calf. I never even noticed the sandwich...thanks for pointing that out...it looks yummy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted March 18, 2007 Author Share Posted March 18, 2007 Thanks potter It's still funny to look at the sandwich because it looks like a regular "burger or chicken sandwich." It was all vegan of course, from a 100% vegan fast food place on the boardwalk of Muscle Beach but it's still funny to think that it's vegan and looks yummy. It was quite nice, and I had fries with ketchup and a lemonade while Brendan sat there waiting to go back to the car to eat fruit, Vega, cocunut oil and have some water. He's a little more alkaline than me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
