That's ****ing impressive shit. I could maybe squeak out about 10-12lbs of muscle a year when I was younger. This dude is in his 30's and just beastin' the muscle mass all while being vegan!

You guys have the reading comprehension level of a drunk monkey.
I stated that I went vegan 14 months ago, dropped from 225 to 176 in about five weeks due to the dietary change combined with being sick as a dog. From that point to about five weeks ago I gained back approximately 20 lbs. as the body adjusted to the new vegan diet.
The only exercising I have done over the past four years was irregular (once to three times a week) body weight workouts (pushups, pullups, dips, etc.) Previous to that I did go to the gym on a somewhat regular basis and have trained powerlifting as my brother was competing in it for a time as well as worked out with guys who've competed in bodybuilding contests though I've never taken my workouts or diets to that required level. I've also just done body weight workouts for periods of time.
I started going back to the gym about five weeks ago weighing approximately 195-200 lbs. I just weighed myself for the first time since then two days ago and I was at 214.8 lbs.
I was excited that I was able to not only maintain a weight level, but add to it while doing physical work/on my feet all day long and then going to the gym afterwards while on a vegan diet.
At this point, I'm going to try to maintain a steady mass build for the next little while to see if I can get up to the 225/230 range and then cut down from there to 200/205 and be around 10-12% bodyfat.
I also did not say that you can get huge by just doing Crossfit. I simply asked if anyone knew anything about it as the dudes looked pretty good who were "competing" in their Games.
And who said anything about my age?
