I'll be there Some guys from VF and i are planning to make a trip to the Arnold's Will be a great time meeting a lot old (and new) friends! I need to get JACKED until then!

Of course, you only miss spooning the ice cream out of my head! Nah, the double post is due to the error message i got when i posted, so i tried again Of course i miss you, too, Potter. ... i'm just glad that you're married now so i won't have to spoon with you again!

Thanks Rob I'm really looking forward to the next vegan vacation, it doesn't seem that long away anymore Arm? I didn't see any arms, he flashed me with his Joker face! http://www.the-closeup.de/magazin/images/art013.jpg Nah, great arms indeed. Don't know how the skinny mofo does it without weights and with all the raw food

I didn't vote yet. I only want the date changed, no matter if earlier or later! BECAUSE: you cannot have the vegan vacation overlapping with the vegan fitness week! The VF week is from august 8-13, so pleeaase do something about that! I know there won't be too many people attending both, but i want to!

What Zack said. Lifting. Eating. Vegan friends. Lifting with vegan friends. Eating with vegan friends. I'm not a complicated person Okay, there is much much more... but apart from things everyone would say, i like nerdy fantasy games, movies and books, fresh air, my new job - and a day off from work

Hey Ravi! I agree to what the dude said. If you haven't already, take a week or two off of lifting. Then come back with a good plan of what you'll do and what you want to achieve. A goal is very important for motivation! Also, you need to see progress from week to week. Try something completely different from what you've been doing so far. The main difference should be the working intensity and volume: if you're used to sets to failure, stop doing these, if you've never done those before, give them a try now! Good luck!

Not nearly enough!

Is that the film version of the book "Way of the Peaceful Warrior"? If so, i'm curious to watch it, 'cos i liked the book. I mean, hey, the title alone is SO cool

Haha, that's great! I remember that kitchen, too Maybe you can do some of your computer magic to add some effects? The only part i thought wasn't good was when the ninja runs at Jason, who's lying on the floor - he takes too many steps for just acouple of metres. Other than that, good fun to watch

I ditched benching because 1. on the pressing days i needed to focus on overhead and triceps strength, bench press doesn't transfer that well into overhead strength, and my triceps doesn't grow from it as well. With push press, close grip bench, dips, strict overhead press and sometimes incline bench i already have enough pressing moves to choose from. Then i vary between pressing a barbell, log or dumbells. 1.b. benching is not part of strongman comps 2. i don't need to grow larger pecs, for BB purpose i need more balanced muscles, and arms and shoulders are lagging behind.

Of course you may ask.

Marla rocks! And the cute T-Shirts really suit her well

My overhead press always was and always will be weak compared to my other lifts, but here's what helped me increase it: Started doing barbell push presses, switched strict to dumbell. Added close grip bench press fpr triceps strength, ditched flat benching. Did heavy sets, low reps, no muscle failure. Did pressing 1-2 per week. Maybe this helps you, too

Excuse list: - crap lighting. - The light was really crap. - No mirror to pose into. - Bad lighting as well. I'll post a few pictures soon, once i get my internet access at home. Form is good these days, so BEWARE But yes, DP and RR are monsters. Not strong, just big DP is lost for bodybuilding, though, he has to do strongman! Awesome genetics for strength, and a strongman training facility basically around the corner - with the best of coaches, too! But roid_rage will do a BB comp sometime soon. Can't wait to see him on a diet!

Rob, first of all, you're doing a great job!!! Yet i agree that we have a lot of sub boards, too much really. Remember that it will never be perfect, there will always be evolution that keeps us on our toes Looks good to me. I'd call it "Community" and have the travelling, regional, photo and video boards there. Have a "Bodybuilding & weight training" board and another for other sports, be it yoga, endurance or martial arts. We are a BB forum after all Nutrition, Intros, General and Blogs are a must. Add one more for the news and animal rights stuff. Just my 2p

It's not as if we over here will stop training for a couple of years just to give a (small) chance of catching up It was a great weekend (did i say that already?)! Everyone was just great. I love being around cool vegans I felt skinny all day long between Devil'sP and RR. I need to eat. Actually, my eating has been great the last few days Now i'm off to the gym - squats on the menu By the way, I like the buttwalker picture (not the caption ). That's how squats are done Everyone have a nice day!

Josh, it doesn't get any better! That raw blueberry cheesecake was seriously the most delicious thing i have EVER eaten! Even beats mango (by a whisker) Trottel "I told you so!" just doesn't quite say it ... Thank you all for posting the pics

Wer kauft dafür ein? Machen wir das zusammen oder bringt jemand die Zutaten mit und bekommt die Kosten erstattet? *sabber* Klingt lecker und healthy - ich glaube, ich brauche etwas mehr als eine Portion... Kann's kaum abwarten!!

I can't decide. Do i have to? Seriously, much respect to everyone! How long did the challenge go? Those are awesome transformations! In some they might be a bit more obvious, but if i take into regard that it gets harder to transform your body if you are already beyond the beginner status, it gets really hard to judge! Congratulations to you all! You are all winners already, and your prize is better fitness, health and looks But lelle, did you have to show ALL pictures in one thread? It took me like 10 minutes and 5x refresh until i had them all loaded

The workouts are okay, but don't expect miracles. The guys in the movie look good because - they got CGI makeup - the lighting is everythin for looking good, and there is no better lighting than at a movie set - you can bet your asses that they don't prepare naturally for a multi-million dollar movie. Train hard and aim to increase your strength and athletic abilities, eat a lot if you want to gain, and diet if you want to cut. No miracles.

Ich freue mich auch! Bei mir kann in jedem Fall jemand übernachten, nur sollte am Besten eine Luftmatratze oder Isomatte und Schlafsack mitgebracht werden, da ich noch kein Gästebett habe - das nächste Mal sicher! Treffen also ab 11:30 direkt im Café Tut Gut? Bis dann Leute!

No you don't Sure. Better in what regard? Good and bad are relative terms, they can only apply with a goal. So, in other words, what is your goal? Basically, you could do EVERYTHING different! Sorry, i'm being silly. Yet, i'm serious: without more detailed info it's hard to answer your questions.

He! Nicht mich vorschieben wenn Du nicht schwimmen willst! Ich denke, zwei Sport events werden eh etwas viel, oder? Wenn wir in ein Fitnessstudio gehen, reicht das nicht? Alles passt leider nicht auf einen Samstag Deshalb wäre ich für Kochevent statt Thermalbad

I think the word everyone is looking for is PERFECTION. Seriously WOW body

War nett, Dich endlich mal zu treffen, Kim, tut mir leid, dass ich so mies drauf war. Hatte die Erkältung noch in den Knochen und war was verpeilt Ich freue mich auch schon auf das Treffen! Roid_rage, was ist nun?! Wir alle zählen auf Dich Mann!
