  1. Hey! Sorry for not posting anything in, well, two years I actually broke my back working out, nothing serious, but i coudn't do any pecs or upper back exercises anymore. So i don't go to the gym. I've done thai boxing for abut 1,5 years now and it's great, i love it! I've also tried BJJ and am going to try MMA after summer. Nowadays i do thai boxing three times a week + bike (on a mountain bike) about 50-100 km/week. i'm going to buy a road bike this summer, i'm really pumped about that! My trainer at thai boxing is trying to get me to train more and maybe fight, but i'm still lacking courage (and time). I eat porridge in the morning with coffee and soy milk. For lunch what ever they cook mee at the canteen at work, but always over half of it is salad. After training i drink a protein shake with pea, soy and wheat protein, malto and glutamine. In the evenings i mainly eat raw, except for the protein (mostly tofu, but also beans and lentils). I'm working at the Finnish Heart Association, so i'm surrounded by positive influences My weight has gone up a couple of kilos, but only so much i just look nicer.
  2. Thanks guys! I've got some motivational problems so i haven't posted in a while. My back is inflamed all the time, I can't train my back muscles and even training other parts of my torso makes my back hurt =/ I've seen a physiotherapist and got some advice, following them has helped a little, but my back is so tense that I'd need some serious massaging. I just don't know how to find a good masseur. Cold Fission: I lol'd =D
  3. For the record, I don't smoke, drink or do drugs. And I still don't like purists.
  4. I'm annoyed by all the purist-vegan douchebags who try to dictate what other people can or can't do. And in the opinion of most non-vegan people it's the purist-vegan-dictator douchebags who give vegans a bad name. Influencing others is most effective if it's positive, leting people make their own decisions, not by calling other names or moralizing them.
  5. Yay! Our capital city Helsinki's city council has voted in favor of having an all-veggie day a week. No meat is going to be served at schools on that day. I can only imagine what effect this will take on the quality of vegetarian food at schools! When i was young the policy was to just simply substitute meat with carrots You can read more about this here: http://www.hs.fi/english/article/Vegetarian+school+meal+debate+provokes+wrath+of+City+Council+carnivores/1135253019572 [edit: typo in Subject]
  6. Here's some new pictures. Tummy full of yummy Kung-po Tofu and a runny red nose. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4044/4268862113_45042da125.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2748/4268861907_17c1111c8e.jpg http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4069/4269604992_dcb2ef944b.jpg
  7. OMG thanks for all the support & votes I'd never ever have thought anything like this could even be possible a year ago! You really can reach any goal in your life if you just work really really hard!
  8. I changed my routine after several weeks of thinking about it, here's the new one! I've got some shoulder-problems + the muscles in my upper back & shoulders end up inflamed all the time. I'm searching for a good physical therapist and hope to get my problems solved. I guess the biggest reasons for this are a) my genes, my mum has sore back muscles all the time too, b) my body isn't able to cope with this much exercise after years and years of no exercise at all. I'm trying to not strain these muscles as much anymore, and that's one of the main reasons for this new routine. I'm also trying to stretch more, and i have some extra time after workouts now for that (i'd never remember to stretch my muscles if i didn't do it at the gym. I know that it doesn't help muscle recovery, but that isn't the reason why i'm doing it). Day 1: Squats (as low as i can go): - 50 kg / 110 lbs * 10 (2 sets) - 60 kg / 132.3 lbs * 8 (3 sets) Good mornings - 7 kg / 15 lbs * 10 (4 sets) T-bar Row on cable machine - 25 kg / 55 lbs * 20 - 35 kg / 77 lbs * 15 - 40 kg / 88 lbs * 10 - 40 kg / 88 lbs * 8 Seated calf raise - 55 kg / 121 lbs * 10 (5 sets) Hip abduction - 40 kg / 88 lbs * 20 - 50 kg / 110 lbs * 10 (4 sets) Day 2: Chest fly - 6 kg / 13 lbs * 20 - 7 kg / 15 lbs * 15 - 10 kg / 22 lbs * 9 (4 sets) Declined bench press on Smith machine: - 22 kg / 49 lbs (the bar) * 20 - 27 kg / 59.5 lbs * 10 (4 sets) Biceps on Preacher bench - 18 kg / 39 lbs * 15 - 20,5 kg / 45 lbs * 10 (3 sets) Shrugs - 13,5 kg / 29.7 lbs * 12 (2 sets) - 18,5 kg / 40.8 lbs * 10 (2 sets) Upright row on cable machine - 25 kg / 55 lbs * 15 - 30 kg / 66 lbs * 10 (3 sets) Triceps pushdown on cable machine - 30 kg / 66 lbs * 20 (2 sets) - 45 kg / 100 lbs * 10 (3 sets) Day 3: Romanian Deadlift - 50 kg / 110 lbs * 10 (3 sets) - 55 kg / 121 lbs * 10 (3 sets) Walking lunges with dumbells (reps per foot) - 13,5 kg / 29 lbs * 10 (5 sets) Barbell bent-over row - 32 kg / 70.5 lbs * 20 - 49,5 kg / 109 lbs * 10 (3 sets) - 52 kg / 114.6 lbs * 10 (2 sets) Pulldown on cable machine with "pro style" lat bar - 30 kg / 66 lbs * 20 - 40 kg / 88 lbs * 10 (2 sets) - 45 kg / 100 lbs * 10 (2 sets) Back extension - 15 (4 sets) Day 4: Biceps, Hammer curl - 5 kg / 11 lbs * 20 - 7 kg / 15 lbs * 10 (4 sets) Dips (halfways) - 10 (5 sets) Bench press - 20 kg / 44 lbs * 20 - 40 kg / 88 lbs * 8 (4 sets) Pec dec - 55 kg / 121 lbs * 15 - 60 kg / 132 lbs * 10 (4 sets) Dumbell overhead press - 5 kg / 11 lbs * 20 - 7 kg / 15 lbs * 12 (4 sets) (reduced weights due to problems with my shoulder) Side crunches on cable machine - 45 kg / 100 lbs * 15 - 55 kg / 121 lbs * 10 (3 sets)
  9. Thank you You have a great shaped back yourself! EDIT: Her back isn't a grate, it's great.
  10. So i think i did manage to take some OK pics. EDIT: pressed "Submit" when i tried to press "Add the file" ft. my vegan-shorts. Thanks, Robert!
  11. I'll post some pics later today (if i manage to take any decent ones). This is the competition i've been waiting for!
  12. Well i guess they work for me, i can't imagine my pecs growing any faster than this. Like from having no pecs to having bigger pecs than my actual breasts
  13. I almost lol'd today at the gym because i did some easy math and this was the result: My epic pec-workout contained a total of 19 sets and 187 reps today And i also did all the other stuff: walking lunges, seated calf raises, hip abductions and crunches. I have to admit i feel pretty damn badass! edit: i also counted the reps of the last pec-workout i posted here: 203, haha
  14. Any tips you may want to share on reaching the Durden physique? Here's what i found on the interwebs: "After Fight Club was released Pitt became the envy of many men. His tight body was coveted, and many people sought a workout that would produce similar results. However, contrary to what most people thought, Pitt was actually at his lightest, weighing in at only 150-155 pounds, with body fat around 5-6%. It has been well documented that Pitt had an extremely regimented routine for the months before filming began. His workout was characterized by beating one muscle group up each day, then giving it the rest of the week to recover, similar to the kind of routine a professional bodybuilder would do. Finally, at the end of the week, he finished off with a good cardio workout. This put his body into fat-burning mode, which served to shed any extra padding that covered his muscles, giving him that chiselled and ripped look." edit: added link
