Serious

Just echoing the above posts really, but im raw vegan and deadlifting 150kg for 5 without a belt. Form and technique are most important, just make sure you keep working on them, even when you think you have it. The majority of injuries occur from consistant repetitive poor technique causing wear and tear till something just goes. The most I use is chalk and if im feeling unsure about my body one day I'll start out lighter and build up feeling the effect the increase is having on my body and how its being displaced through the body based on my technique. Hope that helps

Hi I'm new to the forums but have been raw vegan now for two years and training on and off for a while. When I first went RV I also went through major burnout period where I spent the majority of my time on my arse (was out the work at the time)reading and doing little else and so the combination of practically no training and decreased caloric intake saw me dropped around 20kg. I'm now back up to around 80-85kg(havent weighed in a while) and squatting 125kg (or 275lbs) for 16 reps. There are genuine benifits in performance and recovery(as well as a great deal of other areas) from consuming a raw or high raw diet. I havent read any of the other posts on the site yet that are contary to my opinion as this is my first post, but from my expieriance it works for me. If you have any questions I'd be happy to respond and help if I can.
