  1. T'was indeed a while ago since I last wrote! I realised that being a vegan or vegetarian was not for me after a couple of months (hence why I haven't written; didn't feel quite right to continue when eating meat again), so I went back to eating meat! However, when money is short I usually fall back to a semi-vegetarian diet with lots of greens and whey. My results was quite poor during my period of eating strictly vegan, but I've managed to rebuild my losses and right now I am actually sporting my best form ever. I am at 83kg (183lbs) with about 9% bodyfat (I'm going down to 7% this summer just for the hell of it!) and pushing my deadlifts towards 200kg (440lbs).
  2. I will probably stay away from fast food, It simply doesn't make sense to eat a single meal for 60sek when I can get my entire daily nutrition need for less than half that cost ;D I spent the entire last week being sick from a cold, but hit the gym again starting saturday: back/biceps: barbelrow: 100kg x 4, 4, 4, 4 pullups (palms towards body): bodyweight + 15kg x 4, 4, 4, 4 dumbellrows: 45kg x 5, 5, 5 (per arm) cablerows: 75kg x 15, 14, 12, 12 rear delts(machine): 30kg x 12, 12, 12, 12 hammercurl: 25kg x 6, 6, 6 (per arm) sunday: chest, shoulder, triceps incline bench: 80kg x 4, 4, 4; 85kg x 4 weighted dips: bodyweight + 15kg x 5, 5, 5 seated militarypress: 60kg x 4, 4, 4, 4 onehandedpushpress in t-bar: 15kg x 8, 8 (per arm) lateral raises: 20kg x 10, 10, 10 explosive lateral raises with kettlebells: 10kg x 15, 15 seated french press in cablecross: 60kg x 12, 12, 12, 12 monday(today): legs leg press (low, narrow feet): 180kg x 4, 4, 4, 4 leg extensions: 100kg x 6, 6, 6 lounges with kettlebells: 10kg (per hand) x 16 (steps), 16; 16kg x 16, 16 leg curls (explosive): 60kg x 4, 4, 4, 4 calf extensions in legpress: 100kg x 12; 150kg x 12, 200kg x 12, 250kg x 12, 12, 12
  3. The first batch of my cooked peas and beans wasn't much of a hit. And I took too much soy sauce for the seitan. Better luck tomorrow! ^^
  4. Two pictures of myself, taken a few minutes ago. I'm really excited to see what this change in my diet will do to my so-called "winter form". http://i.imgur.com/Utjg1h.jpg http://i.imgur.com/UtqGth.jpg I'm also testing a bean and pea stew/porridge/thing today!
  5. I will post a comment about the seitan later on this week (hopefully ^^) after I've tried it! Furthermore I will add pictures to follow this log later tonight or tomorrow.
  6. Awesome reply! thx alot! I will absolutely do a sweep of the internet supplement stores for cheap vegan protein alternatives! For now all I've got at home is onion, soybean, yellow peas (split peas?) and various whey / bcaa powders. And some spices ^^ (got to have som luxury, right!) I should be allright, protein wise, untill I've found an alternative for the whey; but i will make sure to keep in mind to vary as much as possible and not only eat my soybeans and yellow peas! Also, seitan seems to be a real winner! Cheap and filled with protein
  7. Meat-eater giving veggie a shot I've never eaten anything even remotely close to a vegan / vegeterian diet so this is a completely new experience for me. I will try to update this log as often as i can, and feel free to come with suggestions and tips for me regarding anything at all! My stats: sex: male age: 24 location: sweden height: 176 cm (5 feet and 9,5inches) weight: 80 kg (176 lbs) chest: 107-109cm (42-43inch) waist: 80-83cm (31-32inch) thigh: 58-60cm (23inch) upper arm: 40-42cm (16inch) forearem: 33cm (13 inch) (note that I've never tried to find my 1rm, i will rather post my latest heavy lifts) deadlift: - (due to past injury i havent deadlifted for years) partial deadlifts: 2*210kg (462lbs, this was however done in march; suffered a minor back injury in may and haven't dared lift heavier than 4*170kg (375lbs) afterward) benchpress: - (I never flat bench) incline benpress: 5* 80 kg (176lbs) barbell rows: 10 * 110 kg (242lbs) french press / skullcrushers: 5 * 55kg (121lbs) barbelcurl (biceps): 5*50kg (110lbs) seated military press: 5*60kg (132lbs; doing seated military press in smithmachine I tend to increase that number with +10-15kg (22-33lbs)) leg press: 12+*250kg (550lbs) leg extensions: 8+*120kg (264lbs) My goal for each day is to consume at least 250 grams of protein whilst trying to minimise carbs (seems to be the biggest challenge with vegs!). Since this is a first for me I will supplement with bcaa/eaa and whey proteins untill I find an economically sound vegan alternative! So it begins... *Disclaimer for spelling mistakes and whatnot ^^
