TARZAN: HUDSON RIVER

By Richard Rothstein

 

It has been a really long time since Richard and I have done a Tarzan shoot! Honestly... too long. This was really sweet. 

I never have as much fun shooting anything else. This project is so raw and the concept is so unique that nothing compares to the experience of creating it. I get to throw on my custom made loincloth and just be myself :)

 

Some of the images are just stunning.... and the video ices the cake!! Enjoy!

MOMMY. 6-11-03

10 years ago today, I lost the most important person in my life. You would think after so many years it would get easier... it doesn't.

I remember the day like it just happened. Interesting enough, it was a day very similar to today in terms of weather and feel. It was cloudy, gloomy, humid and rain was off and on.

I had a lot of trouble getting through that day. I was sick to my stomach most of the day. I was paralyzed, mostly out of fear of the unknown. I didn't yet know she was gone... but I felt it.

I remember walking out of second period in tears and running into the office of my guidance counselor. She ekpt asking me if I wanted to call the hospital... I kept refusing. 

I was completely silent most of the day at school. My friends didn't know what to make of it.

I remember VERY clearly getting off of the bus that used to leave me on the corner of my block. That half-block walk to my doorstep was the longest walk of my life.

When I got into my house you could hear a pin drop. Complete and utter silence. Nervous and afraid, I walked into my room and sat on the bed, almost as if I was waiting for something. Of course no more then a minute later my father comes into the room and asks to see me in the living room. I followed...

He sat me down and said to me,"Rob, Mommy couldn't take it anymore. She had to leave us." This announcement was followed by a hysterical cry that is embedded in my mind till this day. It was the very first time in my entire life that I witnessed my father cry. It took 16 years. I was hysterical as well and was frozen for several minutes. As soon as my mind cleared enough to stand, I ran upstairs to my grandfathers apartment. He was accompanied by my aunt. I opened the door and jumped into his arms in a world of hysterics, not even acknowledging that my aunt was there. This wasn't on purpose, he was just what I needed at that moment. 

Soon after, I found myself wandering around outside my building and even into the street where I was grabbed by my best friend and brother till this day. I was held and consoled by his sister for probably the next 2 hours or so... I'll never forget all the love I was shown on that day. There were so many people there for me then.. and more importantly, the same exact people are here for me now. it's called family. 

My mother left me with just enough to be able to grow, function and develop into a man. I miss her more then worlds can describe. We had a special bond that could only be shared by a mother and her son. I was very much a mamas boy. I don't deny it. In fact, I embrace it! All that I am today was made possible because of her. She is my ultimate inspiration, a fire that burns in my heart for all eternity. I am relentless. Every last thing I do is driven by her memory and ever bit of success I see is in her name... because that's how i want it to be.  

ALL FOR YOU

I love you Mommy.

Now and Forever.

ACCOUNTABILITY. 6-11-13

Some of my best conditioning to date. Tonight was chest and biceps... The workout was incredibly intense. However, It is the nutrition that brings out this type of conditioning. I have slightly adjusted my macros by adding about 120 calories from fat (olive oil) in meal 3. I almost always train immediately after meal 4. I have also adjusted my carb intake, actually increasing it substantially. However, I have been utilizing the insulin spike to my advantage. Basically, there is almost no reason at all to spike your insulin unless your fueling yourself for for an intense resistance session. The body just doesn't utilize the carbs at any other time except for pre and post workout. I always say, EAT IT WHEN YOU NEED IT. It becomes increasingly more difficult for the body to store your energy sources as fat when your taking in the bulk of them immediately before and after your workout. Train smart, train intense. More importantly, EAT smart.

Vascularity in my abs with no flexing at all. Below 6% bodyfat for sure.

MY MOTHERFUCKING ANTHEM!

This is MY life. I do what I want, when I want, how I want. I always did. I ALWAYS will.

There is only one true RIGHT way to do something... that's YOUR way. And that's the only way it should be done.  MY success comes from me doing things exactly the way I want to. There is a certain satisfaction that comes from that. I don't take orders, I don't follow rules and I don't pay any mind to negative opinions.

Stay true to yourself and only keep the people in your life that stand behind you 100%!

"IT'S MY LIFE"

 

ACCOUNTABILITY. 5-27-13

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!

Holiday or not... it may be a day off from work, but NEVER the gym! :)

I carb loaded today, refilled my muscle and replenished glycogen. This is the result.

LEAN. HARD. FULL. AND VASCULAR.

One of the best feelings on earth. This is what I like to call #SuperiorCondition

Summer is here! Stay focused!

ACCOUNTABILITY. 5-25-13

Every week or so I take some accountability pics to keep track of my progress. I can still get quite a bit tighter. Just taking it slow, this condition is enough to shoot... but i'm NEVER satisfied!

Improving condition is 100% diet. Stay focused!
