Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

as promised

I guess that's what the abe lincoln beard is good for.

15lbs of pr on a clean, and almost doubling your pr on a one legged squat...

Lmao, funny mental image! Btw, I have been checking in here was just busy before the last day or 2. I really have nothing to offer on your clean form because everytime I tried them I sucked at them! I really think it's the kind of exercise you need to get coached on. Workouts are looking good.


Have you been or thought about icing your back? That's been a while it's been stiff. If you're gonna keep cleaning and squatting and attempting deads you need to do something inbetween to speed recovery. Maybe some dynamic stretches.

Yeah, I ice it often. It's feeling a lot better, just playing it safe.

Nice on the pr!!!

You have way better balance than me, my one legged squats are so wobbly. Only way to get better is to do them more I suppose.

Take care of your back, you only have one!

You're half right. But I only have one shirt like that.

today was upper body split day.

incline bench.
95 x 8
135 x 6
155 x 3
145 x 4, 4, 4
155 x 2, 2, 2, 1

dumbell bench
45 x 6
65 x 6, 3
60 x 6, 6

wide grip chins
sets of 4, 4, 4, 3, 3

Upright Rows
100lbs 5 sets of 10. the last rep of the 4th set and the last 2 reps of the 5th set had a few seconds rest/pause between them.

dips
sets of 8, 6, 7, 6, 7

more stupid 75lb dumbell shrugs
SSOOOOO BORING!
2 sets of 50 and a set of 20 making sure to hold the contraction at the top for 3 seconds each.

Then I went and hung on the pull up bar and did 2 sets of 5 each knee raises and oblique crunches with a 25lb dumbell between feets.

think that's all.
