Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

Thanks. It's all about the food right. I was lifting all the time, but until I controlled my diet I looked like Crap. I have a cooking background so it's easy for me. I just got to find all the right food to use.

Good day for a pull up century.

Up at 7 with 9hrs of sleep under my belt. Weighed in at 182.6 today. I seem to float between 181-183 so im not worried. All my shorts fall off except the skinny cut 34's so im happy but 10 pairs less.

7am breakfast standard peanut butter and banana sandwich with black coffee and a soy shake.

10am standard oatmeal with blueberries, agave necter, flax, wheat germ and cinnamon. Then i added this pre workout drink i got as a sample.


Mix with 8oz of water? Yeah no way i got 16oz to make it palatable and ice cubes :-p

Toe still sore but not hurt. I think it was the bare footed dead lifts. May have to wear shoes. I try to do stuff bare footed if i can because it feels more natural.

Onto the pull up century. The goal is 100 in 1 hr. im gonna warm up on the bike for 15min then hit it.

Heres my pull up bar.


I got to do close grip because of a dislocated left shoulder and a broken elbow on the right.

Go!

35min in i got 75 reps in.

Done!

I train at home too, I've got a pull up bar and a 145Kg olympic barbell. What weights do you have at home?

I have a bench with a dip handles and preacher attachment. About 250lbs worth of plates. A set of adjustable dumbells and a set of 35's.

I have a set of golds faux trx straps. I use old duffle bags as a kettlebell. I just fill with 5-10lb weights. Lots of rubber bands things.

Outside i got the tires and now battle ropes. Lots of blocks and a wheel barrel. I also got a 400lb generator on wheels i can farmers walk.

Leg day on the mountain bike!

alright mate, interesting journal you have! the rope exercises sound good, i would like to do some more strongman type stuff like drags and so on! i gotta ask WTF sort of tyres/mountain bike is that? looks like a monster truck bike

Its a surly moonlander. It uses the biggest tires available. Its for adventure cycling.


Today i am doing tire drags in the driveway to top off my legs after cycling.

Stay tuned!

Ok so to top off the legs i did tire pulls.

Tomorrow i am going to do cardio at 7am before breakfast. Supposedly it burns fat better.

Some Gpoy

Nice log buddy ~ really liked reading through it and viewing all of the photos.

Keep up the great work, your bike looks pretty badass. Nice! MF

Thanks MF. Feel free to critique anything, diet or training. Lord knows I need the help.


7am no DOMS from yesterday's leg day, go figure so I'm I'm the treadmill before breakfast. I'm gonna try this out because a fello faux vegan friend of mine does it and has stripped away a lot of fat.

I did 30min and burnt 260 cals and had a soy protein shake and banana after.

10am meal. This was my 7-10 combined. I used to eat a peanut butter and banana sandwich at 7 upon waking then steel cut oats t 10. Today at 10 I'm having my heavy carb meal all at once.
2 slices of 7 grain bread 18carbs
2 tbs of peanut butter. 7 carbs
1/4c cooked steel cut oats 15 carbs

Total 40 carbs. That's not too much for one meal?

I must admit I feel great after pre breakfast cardio. No coffee yet either, but I did have muscle recovery tea from Yogi.
