robert Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 I was just contacted by someone who has been vegan for 22 years and is an Extremely accomplished athlete. I'm working on an interview to feature him on our main site and I'm looking forward to learning more about him.....but for now, here is an image to think about: http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c210/VeganBodybuilder/back.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongTimeVegan Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 That's impressive... Looking forward to the interview, Robert!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 Little tid-bits I can release now are that he is his country's national champion in powerlifting, has been vegan 22 years, and training for 33 years. Impressive stuff! I'm looking forward to the interview too! I have more pics but I want to release it all with the awesome profile feature. So, until then, sit on the edge of your seats. I have another awesome vegan athlete profile coming soon too. This other guy is a two-time World Champion wrestler, nearly a world record holder in power lifting and is also vegan More to come on some of these strong me who (found me, and one I found) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warlock Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 He looks ripped for a powerlifter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Agreed...its rare to find a powerlifter that lean that isn't a light weight class lifter(even thats rare but you do see them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjohanx Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 is he natural? powerlifters who are ripped usually isn't. and how old is he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubby2112 Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 That is amazing. I can't believe he is that ripped and a powerlifter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DV Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 VERY inspirational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 Maybe he'll join the group. We'll see. The cool thing is that there are tons of great vegan athletes all over the place. Sometimes we get caught up in who is great that we've heard of, or who's on the internet, or sometimes we just focus on athletes in our own country, whatever country that may be. But there are great athletes everywhere. For example, Brendan Brazier's roommate in Canada years ago was a vegan tri-athlete who won the Gold Medal in the Olympics. Yet, I bet not a single person here knew about it. I didn't until this weekend in L.A. when Brendan and I were talking about athletes because we were both interviewed by a major publication (largest yet for me). So anyway, there are many more awesome profiles to come. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devils Plaything Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Man that guy's huge!!! I think It would be great, if he was featured on the main page and it would surely make some of our omnivourous friends think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 Yeah, I've heard from him a couple of times........more details to come soon He's huge and really accomplished as an athlete. I also want to get RoidRage on the site soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warlock Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 I also want to get RoidRage on the site soon! RoidRage? A veganbodybuilder on steroids? That's a first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 That is his screen name He's a huge dude who has been on the forum for 2-3 years but doesn't post that much these days. But we hope to feature him soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathan Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 He looks fantastic - he has that density that only comes with a lifetime of lifting. I am almost certain he is the same guy who posts as Deavman on veganfitness. He is an 88kg Israeli powerlifter, with a 192kg squat, 170kg bench and 240kg deadlift. Seems like a really nice bloke too.

robert Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 Yeah, that's him I hadn't heard of him before but I was excited to hear from him. That is the exact reaction I had (density from a lifetime of lifting) that is almost exactly how I explained it verbally to some people a few days ago when I saw the pics. Awesome stuff! I really enjoy finding out about more and more of these successful and "huge" vegan athletes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
