Ya, it is a pretty good article (until the end ). They have a Photo Gallery that I don't know how long will be up so everyone should check it out !

Fantastic! Thanks Ravi

Are you kidding? Have you seen some of the things he put on his vega bars? . Itd probably be better than the hummus!

OMG that is awesome ! Let this be a lesson to not try to take food from either Daywalker or Burros

More Robert vs. Daywalker pictures (and to make Robert's excuse for him, he's been sick lately and his back has been hurting him as well ) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4698.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4699.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4700.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4701.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4702.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4705.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4706.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4707.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4709.jpg You call that a push-up? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4711.jpg And I have this stray photo of just Robert : http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4710.jpg

Time for some more photos . Here's Daywalker Sunday night underneath a calandar picture of Daywalker : http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4693.jpg (No, Robert is not stuck in the month of May!) On to Monday's gym session, there are pictures of Daywalker vs. Robert, but I will post those in the appropriate D vs. R thread. We'll start with Roberts PB's in decline bench, here he blasts through 245 lbs: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4720.jpg Then 260 lbs go up: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4726.jpg But right after each set, his phone rings before he can even get off the bench: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4721.jpg Next lift is at 270 lbs: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4727.jpg Then he tried 280 lbs but failed , but good job on the PB's Robert Group shot of the gym crowd today: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4729.jpg Next on the itinerary was to get some lunch at Proper Eats: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4737.jpg The group: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4751.jpg Robert: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4739.jpg Finbarrio and Yogita: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4747.jpg VeganPotter with some extra Vega thrown in (are ALL those desserts yours Potter ): http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4763.jpg

He already crushed some vega bars up and put them in a vega powder smoothy, and he puts vega powder on his cereal. Not all his madness is caught on camera . . .

Today we went to the Oregon Coast, Canon Beach, on an absolutly gorgous sunny day, although a bit windy and cold : http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4647.jpg Then, Daywalker went for a quick dip in the freezing waters, later to be followed by Robert, VeganPotter, Finbarrio, Yogita, and even DavidTarrFoster (ya, I didn't go in deeper than my ankles, I'm just not hardcore enough ), here's Daywalker (surrounded by others) after getting out: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4645.jpg Next, to warm Robert up, we burried him in sand: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4652.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4653.jpg Then turned him into a mermaid : http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4656.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4660.jpg After getting out of the sand, he looked like one of the ninja's photo edited pictures: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4663.jpg Most of us huddled together on a blanket to stay out of the cold wind: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4665.jpg Me with the breathtaking Oregon background: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4667.jpg DavidTarrFoster, Daywalker, me, and VeganPotter: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4673.jpg Daywalker and DavidTarrFoster & VeganPotter with Robert : http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4675.jpg Me getting my ass kicked: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4677.jpg Then totally defeated: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4678.jpg On the way home we stopped by a Fred Meyers and DavidTarrFoster had a go at pressing a shopping cart: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4680.jpg D'oh! Couldn't quite lock it out! Oh well, just push it back in defeat : http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4681.jpg for more photos of vegans lifting shopping carts, visit VeganFitness.net where a bunch of us have been discussing this further. Back at home and this part was more scary in real life than in the picture. Yes, it is Robert wearing an apron and nothing more . And not only that, DavidTarrFoster is hitting him in the ass with a nunchaku: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4688.jpg Okay, that's all for now, thanks Robert for letting me post your pictures!

Saturday night out on the town with Finbarrio, Yogita and OregonIssac: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4636.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4637.jpg Then back at home VeganPotter eats yet another Vega bar, but this time with peanut butter instead of something totally hidious : http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4642.jpg

Okay, lacking a camera, I've now stolen a bunch from Roberts' . First off we have Daywalker enjoying a delicious banana burrito, showing his bulker's face: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4546.jpg Now we have sanctuary photos, here Finbarrio is showing Robert up (behind his back of course ) with Ravi looking on: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4560.jpg Then there is me and DavidTarrFoster: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4557.jpg Ravi, Daywalker and me: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4605.jpg Veganpotter and someone who almost eats as much as he does : http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4610.jpg The group: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4627.jpg

Oh man, that moldy picture made me cry , but the photo editing is fantastich!

So looks like the end of this thread for me , I lost my camera last night . It had some great pictures on it of Robert with his single vegan t-shirt and all. Today had great opportunities, too! We were at the beach and it was absolutly gorgeous and everyone was playing around. Fantastic! On the plus side, there will be no more pictures of VeganPotter eating so much .

Daywalker just said that he's normally 5'2", but he's like The Hulk and grows as he gets angry ( watch out everyone!).

Odidnetne, Daywalker says he varies between 5'2" and 6'8" . Speaking of VeganPotter andn his eating, here's his idea of bulking: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/DSCF0001-1.jpg Yes, that is four empty pizza boxes and two watermelon rinds . And here's Daywalker's bulking: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/DSCF0006-2.jpg Notice the difference? We had a lovely cooking class this morning with Chef Al, and this is what he made: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/DSCF0002-2.jpg Absolutly gorgeous, and it tasted fantastic, too. It was great to eat something healthy for a change. And after only one quick lesson, Robert's roommate DavidTarrFoster was totally kicking Daywalker's ass! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/DSCF0004.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/DSCF0003-2.jpg And this picture was funny because of Robert's T-shirt, but it is hard to see. It says "Available Single Vegan" on it : http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/DSCF0005-3.jpg That's it for today, didn't take nearly as many pictures as I should have. Hopefully others will post their pictures because there were some really great ones!

Vegan Potter will be forever remembered as the guy who just eats everything, yet he's the only one trying to LOOSE weight! Ahhh! For example, here's Vega powder in soymilk for some cereal: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/DSCF0071.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/DSCF0072.jpg Then later, four layers of vegan pizza, all at once ! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/DSCF0005-2.jpg And as if that's not enough, why not add a Vega Bar http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/DSCF0006-1.jpg Alright, that's all for today *phew*, g'night now!

One more from Blossoming Lotus, VeganPotter eating yet MORE soft serve on a brownie : http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/DSCF0062.jpg Okay, cars are the best mirrors for bodybuilders, makes the arms look bigger, and Robert & Daywalker have taken advantage of this effect many times: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/DSCF0067.jpg Now on to the gym for our official training session, here's a group shot: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4505.jpg Dumbbell Shrugs as illustrated by Daywalker: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/DSCF0070.jpg Robert Benching 225 lbs, and with many excuses already lined up : http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4507.jpg Daywalker squatting (okay, not really, just doing overloads ): http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/IMG_4500.jpg

I love it! You guys are the best with your pictures !

Now for some photos from Mt. Tabor . Watch for bumps : http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/DSCF0026.jpg VeganPotter defacing another Vega bar by eating it with humus: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/DSCF0030.jpg You can feel the love here: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/DSCF0054.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/DSCF0053.jpg Good times! The park was beautiful and the weather was wonderful. Good times .

We rock VP

Blossoming Lotus is the name of the place with the vegan soft serve . Oh, and here's the battle of the bodybuilders over the same dish: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/DSCF0065.jpg

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

Excuses, excuses Robert , just kidding we know you've been ill .

What is this green liquid they are all taking shots of? Okay, its wheatgrass . http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/DSCF0014-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v389/vegancrystal/Portland/DSCF0015.jpg
