  6. Hi Robert! Thanks for the welcome! I joined a while ago...but was just a board browser at the time Now i'm definitely serious about getting in shape and looking forward to learning from the community and other journals! Toronto is awesome as always! I'm actually going to school in Windsor right now. Did you come down to the Toronto Vegetarian Association Food Fair this year? I missed it unfortunately, but it's an awesome event - it's how I learned about this website 2 years ago! Cheers!
  7. Oct 11th - getting destroyed by midterms, but made it out to the gym today for an upper body workout sets x reps x weight Incline Bench Press 3 x 15 x 65,75,75lbs Wide Grip Pull 3 x 15 x 70lbs Dips 3 x 15 One-Arm Rows 3 x 15 x 15lbs Incline Hammer Curls 3 x 15 x 10lbs Lying Triceps Extension 3 x 15 x 10lbs First time I felt like I did a decent workout to my triceps - felt great after...and rewarded myself with a big healthy dinner! I need to work on adding some chest exercises and taking it easy on the chest press - I was barely able to finish the last set on 75, so I might go back to 65 and keep proper form. All the while adding another exercise to target that area.

  9. Hey VBB friends, decided to start my training journal in order to keep a record of my progress and also get feedback from those of you with far more experience! Me: 23 year old male 6 feet tall and weigh 150lbs I've been vegetarian my entire life and beginning to go vegan Goal: Put on size - add some mass to my frame Build a sculpted body Enhance my stamina and endurance Improve flexibility. Had surgery on my meniscus 2 years ago and working on strengthening my legs and increasing flexibility. Currently: In School - finished my undergrad and went back Living on residence - 5 minute WALK away from the gym (so I have no excuse really!) Been doing a lot of reading about fitness programs and putting on size. I'm working on modifying my diet to increase calorie intake and eating health meals. Starting a 10 week program (got from bodybuilding.com) based on Hypertrophy-Specific Training (HST) + integrating some additional items from Nate Green's book Built for Show. Feedback & comments are welcomed and encouraged. Looking forward to learning from other vegan bodybuilders and seeing some results!
  10. Hey Dylan - Thanks for the reply and nice to meet you! I'm Rohan - I edited my original post to include my name.
  11. Hello Fellow Bodybuilders! I happened to read the topic post below mine on another reintroduction and thought I'd do the same. I first posted on here almost exactly a year ago and thought I was ready...but everything in life happens for a reason and over the last few months I've been working on changing my life and aligning my priorities to get to this point - I'm READY TO START! I've been a vegetarian my entire life (no eggs, meat or fish) and have done vegan meals on and off for the last few months. I'm extremely dedicated towards being a vegetarian and am (slowly) working towards being vegan - it's not something I've been finding easy, but with this forums help, hopefully I'll learn about how to make more vegan friendly choices! About me - University grad with a bachelors who decided to go back to school and pursue a post-grad certificate (where I am now!) Living on my own in university residence and have started to take more responsibility for my health and nutrition. My goal is to get bigger, feel healthier and ultimately...be built for show I've started going to my university gym, eating healthier and cutting down on junk food. I noticed a drop in weight over the last 2 months (moved to Uni, getting used to being on my own, eating healthier, etc.). I've put 2 pics (my motivation for an even better 'After' picture!) and look forward to chatting with you as I start my journey! Cheers! Rohan Chest & Arms - Sept 2012 Back - Sept 2012
  12. Hey Everyone! I recently came across this site and forum at the Toronto Vegetarian Association's Food Fair. I have take an interest in bulking up and building muscle and finding this site was perfect! I've been a vegetarian my entire life, but have started to make the transition to vegan (I became lactose intolerant). I'll still have lactose free milk in my Starbucks, but am working on the full transition. I look forward to sharing my progress and also learning some great nutrition tips (which I'm in dire need of!). Cheers!
