I put up 265 last week.





I would rather be weak over being a vegan!

Nice job man! Last time I checked I thought you were around 220. Sick pull for that bodyweight. I started trying to lean down by incorporating prowler sprints 2x week on lower body days as accessory, reduced carbs a tad, and so far down to 227 from 240 a little over 3 weeks ago. Lifts kinda stalling a bit, 555 sumo last night was a grind for a single, where I hit 575 easy when I was up near 240. :huh:

Have you ever competed USAPL or IPF? I just joined the USAPL, aiming to do a meet in the mens open raw division, sometime in september/october which gives me time to get down in the 220 weight class.


Silock.. vegan.. does not compute.

Why would a vegan diet have anything to do with your bench?

And what the hell is 230 on a bench?

Do you actually put 2.5 lbs plates on the bar?

Me too lol

30 days only. Just to say I've done it.

Go six months.

You won't feel the harmony, synergy and completeness of being after only a month.

Calorie restriction + vegan = not as much protein as an animal meat/product diet
Yeah. That's what those plates are for. I also have 1.25 lbs plates. Micro loading is great.

Can't go 6 months. This shit is already stupid enough, and I outlined why a few posts ago.

Seperated my shoulder last year and am just now getting 100%.. Pre injury I was getting 315 on bench and about 12 reps of 225. So far I've gotten 275 pretty easily and 7 reps at 225. Hopefully I can get back to preinjury form within the next couple months

You can get more than enough protein from a vegan diet. Chug down a couple of these a day as well:

I pick them up at Whole Foods on Tuesdays when they are on sale.

Protein consumption and a vegan diet is a total myth if you know what you are doing. It's the reeruns who think that you can only eat lettuce that give it a bad name in terms of providing what you need while working out viciously.

Shit, I'm on my feet no less than eight to 16 hours a day and workout six days a week and I'm putting on weight and muscle on a vegan diet.

I don't backtrack.

Ever.

Broccoli does not have more protein than Steak. That's a lie. Also, do you have any idea how much Broccoli that is?

**** your vegan bullshit.

1g of protein per tbsp. **** that. Also, most hummus is nearly 70 calories per serving because of all the fat in it.

You clearly missed the "calorie restriction" part. The idea is to cut on the vegan diet, not put on a bunch of useless fat.

There's no meaningful amount of protein in fruits. The protein in nuts isn't very bioavailable, either.

This is BEYOND facepalm. Are you ****ing kidding me with this shit? Not only is it unreasonable to eat that much broccoli, the protein is hardly muscle-building.

Again, not if you're watching your calories and you don't want to drink the nasty ass shakes all day long.

It's not a myth. It is just difficult to do, AND no matter what you do, you HAVE to supplement with things that are just not easily found in a vegan diet or you become mineral deficient.

I'm not trying to put ON weight.

My typical diet for one day:

2 scoops of The Ultimate Meal + half apple + banana + 1 cup frozen berries
584 cals, 29g protein

1/2 cup quinoa + black beans
498 calories, 24g protein

2 scoops Vega Sport + unsweetened almond milk + tablespoon MCT oil
400 calories, 50g protein

I'm already at 1500 calories, and haven't even gotten to 120g of protein, AND I haven't even added in the caloric value of all the supplements I have to take, like BCAAs, omega-3s, glutamine, creatine, carnosine, carnitine, etc.

That shit adds up quickly.

.......... Christ this is reeruned. Yeah, that Jim Wendler is a real dumbass when he recommends microloading . . .

keep posting this shit. I need more comedy in my day.
