Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

Nice you got started on your training log. Looks like a good start man, keep pushing hard!

-Dylan

Yeah, boiled, whatever. I mean, that's going to get real boring, real quick. You'll have to start experimenting with spices you like. Throw them over some kale or spinach and make a salad out of them. Throw in basically any and every vegetable you like or have on hand. You obviously have the internet, so Google your ass off looking for recipes that appeal to you. A word of advice: try to keep it simple; otherwise, you'll start to slack-off because it'll be too time consuming. A great way is to find stew-like recipes or big pot recipes. Then you can make two at the beginning of the week and alternate them so you don't burn out.

]Here's a sample of my average diet and some pictures what do you guys say ,

Squats getting slightly heavy but the real kicker was Overhead Press struggled a bit in the first set itself but longer rest periods help me get all 5x5 . Deads were okay .

Pre WO Ntrition - Apple ( Morning workout no time to east )
Post WO Ntrition - 2 Bananas , 2 Glass Milk , Handful of Almonds and Oats , 2 Brown Breads with Cottage Cheese

Hey dude! How long are your rest periods between sets usually?

Usualy 50secs to 1min but today in some sets of Overhead Press i gave upto 2 mins .

Keep at it! What do you normally eat before a workout, just thinking whether an apple is quite enough?

Good to see you back in action, colds are a real pain. You have much planned for the weekend?
