Nice! 811 feels great in the summer!

I joined your Ripped Raw Vegans Facebook page yesterday, and I really have to get back to 811 asap and post some pics of my future ripped body :lachmal:

, too! Right now, I occasionally enjoy a day or two on 811, but as soon as some local fresh fruit come on market here, I'll be back. For now I am low fat, but 70-80 % cooked. No oils, just tahini and some nuts.

thank you, guys

I think back is OK, but front part of the body is not so good

I have to make that chest grow! At the moment I have two chest and two shoulders days in the week. It has been couple of weeks since I do not workout my back and legs (partially because I hurt my inner thigh during goblet squats). I discovered that I hit better my pecs when I do dumbbell press instead of bench press. And I started doing Gironda dips - they are great, but I can do only 6 reps (in 5 sets).
I am really mad at my chest, most stubborn muscle group in my body

Sosso, your pictures were actually most inspiring! You really did a great job with your tighs and the rest of the body! My problem is that I get pains in one knee when I do too much squats. I guess Im beginning to get older:) Im 37:)
I do leg extension, leg curl, leg press, seated and standing calf raises

Yeah me too but multidirectional stretching and warm ups have helped me some. I think another problem might be maintaining a proper squating form... since you also need to balance using the same muscle. Or maybe it's just because it's a wide range of motion... in which case we would both benefit from simply pulsing in a low squat position.

Oh, this is a very old quote

Things are changed now! I only do squats, DL and lunges now! I had pains before because my ligaments or joints were weak. Now I grew stronger and I have no pain in my knees at all. I LOVE SQUATTING NOW! :lol:

Oh awesome, hopefully things'll turn out that way for me too.

I have started running in the morning lately so I expect the fat around the waist to be gone soon :wink:

thanks, man

I am not so excited about my gains, though. When I look at other guys in the gym, many of them made huge progress in one year compared to me. But I guess as vegan, limited food (no money for too much organic tofu, soy milk, quinoa - just old fashioned rice and beans), 38 years old, no supplements, etc. - this is the best you can get :roll:

little update... i have been trying to fix my pecs a little lately :roll:
