Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness
Robert’s new book just came out and really I’m having a hard time putting it down. I was expecting some dry list of diet and workout routine… hell no! This book is so inspirational and gripping, a page turner and reference tool. What a totally unexpected combo I mean I’m a healthy fit guy but you’d never see me in the gym. I ride my bike and skateboard and that’s how I stay fit I find the gym just way too boring so I thought the book would be too- sorry Robert but like you I strive for transparency. (In the book)
Wow the personal areas of the book are evocative and seductive really pulls me in. I thought it would be short too but no way man what is it about 400 500 pages?! And a grip of photos too- I especially like the one with the HVB front door in it!
HVB Portland Postering Campaign in the Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness book by Robert Cheeke
Robert talks about some real personal things in the book and in life in general and some people get uncomfortable with his ability to be transparent like I was at first but when you play it right back it can be a life changing experience. I never thought I’d be friends with a bodybuilder- me the skinny pale Goth all in black with gunmetal grey fingernails chillin’ with the Hulk… yeah right! Well now when I hear Robert’s name the first thing I think about is when I was in the hospital and I thought I was going to die and he sat there at the foot of my bed all day and into the night talking to me and whoever came into the room keeping all our heads up. He is just an incredible store of inspiration that I am immeasurably grateful for. Here we are when I first got the book:
Come on down to HELD Real Vegan Belts and get a limited signed first edition of his first published work- more books on the way! Really this book is meant for everyone. Inspiring more than any book I’ve read in the last ten years or so. I’m no bodybuilder and this book has me jumping out of the chair getting to work. Bye.

Right back at you. When we come down we’ll let you know so we can get together hit the Getty- I’m practically a docent!

There’s too much blood in my caffeine system.
