Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

Hi everyone!!

So a little background about myself. I'm a powerlifter, and a carnivore turned vegan. I am loving this lifestyle and have felt the best that I have in 10 years. So glad to have found this website so that I can get to know other vegans who lead a fit life.

I want to prove to everyone who doubts veganism that you CAN be strong, lean, and mean WITHOUT meat and/or animal products!

I compete in the 60kg division, and my goals for my upcoming meet in June are:

Squat: 292
Bench: 145
Deadlift: 314

Eventually, I would like to turn a 750 lb. total into a 800 lb. total before I turn 23 (3 years from now!)


I recently started working with Brandon Lilly and his "Cube Method", and I am loving it so far. I'm on day #2 of Week 2. Roughly 14 weeks out from my meet, and I'm very excited to see how it turns out.


Anyway, follow along if you'd like, and I will try to update as frequently as I can! Benching in about 2 hours. Time to fuel up.

NOTES:

So. This session could have gone a lot better, but last night at work we were having fitness challenges at the gym, which I participated in to gain more participation from members…so I ended up doing:

2 min plank
2 sets of chin-ups
25 pushups
23 reps with 75 lbs. on the bench press

Didn’t miss any weight or reps on training today, but it was definitely a little harder since I was a bit fatigued, and I haven’t eaten much today.

BUT no rest for the wicked! And crying is for pussies.

Rest tomorrow, and SO PSYCHED for squats on Friday!!


Ab picture from this morning, just for funsies:

awesome abs you sound really motivated too, good luck reaching 800lbs

Cool to have you aboard here. Cool also that you're a female powerlifter! How long have you been at it?

Thanks for the replies everyone!! I haven't gotten around to posting in here for a little while since things have been a bit crazy with life/work and it slipped my mind, but I will be back to posting in here now.

135×5
165×3
195×1
225×1

NOTES:

Workout was good, but everything was a little bit rushed since I didn’t have long before I had to get back to work.

Throw a 45 pound plate underneath your snatch grip deads for the 2" block. That's what I used to do on the cube!

Impressive numbers, not just for a woman, just for a human. Good luck to you.
