Bratman Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Hi my names Nathan and I'm 26, living in England. Vegetarian since age 15 and vegan since age 24. Eight months in the gym so far, just want to get huge to prove a vegan diet is healthy and destroy the protein misconceptions.I'm 6'4" so it's going to be tough filling out even if I ate meat but I'm determined. http://img802.imageshack.us/img802/5610/photo0049qn.jpg Obviously got a lot of work to do but I'm getting stronger. November 2012Bodyweight: 175lb / 12.5stBench: 40KGSquat: 70KGDeadlift: 80KGOHP: 30KG TodayBodyweight: 187lb / 13.3stBench: 70KGSquat: 140KGDeadlift: 120KGOHP: 50KG Currently bulking up on pea protein shakes with oatmeal, soy milk, peanut butter, bananas, nuts etc. Eating lots of raw vegetables sometimes roasted. Stuffed peppers with brown rice and mushrooms / tomato sauce. Lentil spaghetti and lentil shepherds pie. Got a huge 3KG bag of brown lentils from Tesco. Eating lots of smoothies too and nuts, got a 1KG tub of peanut butter that I dip bananas into. Lots of avocados and fruit. Lots of spinach although a guy on another forum says the iron sucks because of all the oxalates, so I looked it up and apparently I only need to worry about it if I suffer from kidney stones. Chow for now, see you around the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marloon Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Hey good progress! Watch out for high fats if your eating high carbs as well! Try and keep a bulk to 0.5 lbs a week max, I know it seems slow but it'll save you work when you want t cut:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bratman Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Thanks guys, how do you cut on a vegan diet at 0.5lbs? Just cut carbs out? AndiMorrisCheers dude, I don't have an accurate way to measure body fat but my belly has gotten a little fatter but I am bulking a lot. JubNZCheers mate I'll start a journal once I've read a few more of the ones on here. Routine is three compound lifts, three days a week, the 5x5 Stronglifts program. Hey DylanThanks, will do soon.
