Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

Thanks guys.

Meanwhile I put on a pair of 31" pants today and they were a little loose in the waist. Time to start buying some new jeans and dress pants again I guess.

Dude, we were looking for you at Loprinzi's Monday night last week.....I'll text you when we'll be there....we've been hitting up that gym once a week or so to get a change of pace from 24 Hour Fitness and we just think that gym rocks!

Later bro.......have a great week.

Yeah we were talking about you when we were last there.

We were wondering if anyone heard from you. Hope all is all Aaron

I'm still around. I'm sure we'll all bump into each other sooner or later Nice to know you guys are keeping an eye out for me. I'm in on Monday and Thursday evenings, usually between 5 and 7...

Meanwhile, note to self:

110x 5,3 flat
105x 4,4 incline

And some other stuff...

Yeah Buddy.

Form is getting better on the bench.

110 x 6, 5 (It may have been 5, 5... I didn't write it down)

105 x 6 on the incline got me a small ovation from a few dudes on the bench on Monday.

I'm putting 200 on the leg press, dude comes over and asks to work in. I offer to pull some plates if he wants. Then he explains he has a leg injury and just wants to test it out with something light and kicks out as many reps as I do in a set on my non-injured legs. But I guess that's cool right, I mean my legs used to be crazy and I worked like woah on my upper body to bring that into alignment and now I think I load on the leg press just a lil more than I load on the flat bench. I could probably rock my legs out again pretty quick if I wanted to invest the work... but I like the way my jeans fit.

Meanwhile. I just looked back at my first page. Not much change in strength I don't think. Maybe a bit but nothing crazy. I'm thicker but I weight a good 10 pounds more... I need to start running again once school's out. I bet I couldn't do an 8 minute mile let alone 5 7's. Also some pics. First one of each side is a year and a half ago or so. Second one of each is a few months back. But with these results from just throwing weight around 2x a week, no real plan or tracking or diet, I'm a happy camper - and I'm thinking I can probably maintain it without much issue.






edit to add a few more I found:

2000 ish (probably 10-20lbs under my peak weight)


2002 ish (this is after I lost 35lbs or so from my peak? no real activity difference, just went vegan and stopped eating total junk, lifting once a month maybe?)




2004 maybe? (after I lost another 35?)




3-4 months of regular lifting after the 2004 ones.


Growing up I was maybe 170-180... Got bigger in college. I think the highest I ever saw on a scale was 237. Lowest I ever saw on a scale was 167 but I'd guess I had a couple pounds under that at some point. I was skinnier than I ever remembered being. At one point I was sucking in gut to squeeze into 36" waist jeans (the baggy ones), on the other end I was slipping in to some 30s that were pretty snug too. Now I'm a 31" or so.

Yeah buddy,

Sweet photos man!

Let's train over at Loprinzi's one of these days! Haven't seen you in quite some time! All the best man.

It has been a while hasn't it. I feel like a bum for never making it out to any of the ptown events.

Meanwhile on the lifting front...

105s on the incline scared a dude who wanted to challenge me to 115s on the flat bench. I declined his offer but may take it up in a week or two... he hit 4 reps.

yeah buddy.

Great photos. Your chest and back abs, they look fantastic !!! Great job, keep it up Aaron

Yeah buddy! You do splits though right? I'm a whole body each time kind of dude, although I do skip legs sometimes... I bet we could figure something out. I usually go Monday and Thursdays still.

Friday: Full lift routine, same weights I've been doing for a while.
Sunday: Ran 26.6 miles. 4:10 give or take a couple minutes. Did 16.2 a week prior. And 40miles total each week for the last 3 weeks prior. Didn't really plan to do the marathon... but I guess I did. Not having a gf makes more time to run it looks like...
Monday: Full lift routine, same weights, still pushin the 105s in each hand, alternating and together, 7 reps. Did some 100s for a few sets too.
Wooha. Yeah buddy.

Out of nowhere.......A-dogg is back!

Great seeing you around town, at the gym, etc.

Holla!
