Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

What's up everyone! Decided to join this forum after being inspired by the dedication and happiness towards vegan body building.

My training history has been mainly sports and martial arts throughout elementary-highschool and random throughout college-now. Never dedicated myself to strength training besides a few months of calisthenics a year ago. Starting mid-August I've been doing strength training (primarily weights). Missed a few sessions in the beginning but so far so good, already very satisfied with the progress. I got a good friend that does personal training that works out with me and critiques form/gives tips.

Weight: 127.5
Height: 5"6

Nice, good stats. Welcome to the group Oscar! Lot's of Seattle members here. Lot's of members from all over the world too which is amazing. I'm originally from Oregon. Robert the creator of this site is also. I'm out in NYC but i'll be in the NW in December, hitting Portland and Seattle to see some fam, do some stand up comedy and hopefully do some early snowboarding. Early season snow westcoast is better than any time snow out east here.
Take a look at the journals section and maybe consider starting your own. Its a good place to be interactive with others here as well as hold yourself accountable by recording your progress and sharing it with other like-minded people.

Sup Rambo! Not yet, probably in a couple more months though

Thanks Dylan, I'll check that out. Good to know the westcoast is strong here

Peace
