robert Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Some people have been asking for recent photos. I've only been "back to training" for about 3 weeks or so, maybe 4 weeks. I got really skinny and I'm trying to reverse that. I still have a long way to go, but I figured I'd show that I'm at least partially "back." Work in progress.........rebuilding.......: P.S. thanks to Jessifly for suffering through the process of taking the pics: http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/VeganBodybuilder/cheeke1-2.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/VeganBodybuilder/cheeke2-2.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/VeganBodybuilder/cheeke3-2.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/VeganBodybuilder/cheeke4-2.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/VeganBodybuilder/cheeke5-1.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/VeganBodybuilder/cheeke6-1.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/VeganBodybuilder/cheeke8-1.jpg http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/VeganBodybuilder/cheeke11-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopussoir Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 Lookin good robert! isnt it funny how the arm magically changes and gets a hell of a lot bigger once there is a weight in the hand? Oh yeah, where are the ab shots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeganChamp Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I'd like to take personal responsibility for a tiny bit of that back progress since I showed you a thing or two in our back workout together when I was in Portland! Yeah, in my dreams. Folks, it was Mr. Cheeke who kicked MY ass in the workout. Obviously. Well, I've been a little more consistent then, and progress is coming slowly but at least it's coming. Your back looks great, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share Posted December 20, 2007 Thanks everyone. And VeganChamp.....you can take "some" of the credit for my progress because you reminded me that tough training is FUN! We pushed it hard, and I appreciate that! I will take most credit because I ultimately had to make the change, but You, Zack, xveganjoshx, xdarthveganx, and others can also take some credit for bringing Cheek BACK to form This is only 3 or 4 weeks of being back in action. Give me time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

offense74 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 It doesn't look like you lost all that much. Good to see you back on track! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share Posted December 20, 2007 Yeah, but we all have to admit, I was pretty pathetic looking during Vegan Vacation You're right. It does come back pretty quickly. Consistency is key and I've done a pretty good job as of late. Not perfect, or even close to perfect, but I've been doing pretty well with my eating and training schedules (whether I properly record them or not in my journal) I've been back in action.

VegaNick Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 You have got to be one of the most vascular dudes I've ever seen. Lookin great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkleinman Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 Great to see you getting back into fighting form. Must feel really great. I'm totally stagnating in my workout, I'd love to hook up with some other portland Veg body builders to work out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daywalker Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Looks good. You could get real big if you only started to EAT and REST more, and wouldn't be afraid to lift heavy I can definitely see some progress from last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 Thanks man. As you are a role model for me, I'm happy to see that you saw this thread. It is only 3-4 weeks into my consistent training. I am realizing that I need to eat more and rest more and I'm working on it. I am keeping a Food Journal but it's not always up to date. It doesn't mean I'm not eating a lot and I'm embarrassed to post, I just run out of time or don't make time. Currently I don't have the internet at home anymore so it makes it harder to update things. I'm happy to be lifting and eating again. At times the FIRE still burns and the goal is to keep the coals hot for as long as I can and the bigger the flames the bigger the body! I'm not nearly anywhere I want to be, but I am pleased with myself for making an honest effort for the first time since April 2007 when I competed and produced the photo in my Avatar.

Michelle Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Yeah, but we all have to admit, I was pretty pathetic looking during Vegan Vacation You were not pathetic looking during Vegan Vacation. You may not have been as big as your goals dictate, but you absolutely weren't even remotely pathetic. And I speak with the authority of someone who gave you a massage that week.

robert Posted December 22, 2007 Author Share Posted December 22, 2007 Okay, fine. I guess since you're the only one who saw me naked, I'll go with your assessment. I still feel bad about the way I represented myself during V.V. because I certainly wasn't a bodybuilder. I was a fasting, raw-food eating, yoga-performing, forest hiking hippie who has his head in the wrong place and suffered on various levels because of it. It's nice to be on the right track again.

What's wrong with a little YOGA dude!!!!???? I think what Robert was referring to was some of the yoga photos. While he was in a head stand with his shirt off. You were by far away from being a raw hippie Rob! you have forest hiking skills? Lucky Gosh ! I hate that ! I'm glad to see you on track again !
