_raVen_ Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Hey, MV Yes, soymilk is cooked. Do you like nutmilks? I love Brazil Nutmilk; but most any nut or seed (or combo!) is delicious. Mmmm...pistachio milk! You can make oat milk (best cooked), banana milk, fruity milks are raw...They're all really easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontanaVegan Posted June 6, 2006 Author Share Posted June 6, 2006 Hi RavenI haven't tried any nut milk, just grind some nuts in water?Or do you buy the cartons in the store?Banana milk sounds interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontanaVegan Posted June 7, 2006 Author Share Posted June 7, 2006 Wednesday June 07, 2006 Chest and Shoulder workout.I tried an decline and incline bench press for the first time.The decline was very awkward for me. I still feel that I'm doing something wrong in my press.I'll figure it out before next workout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_raVen_ Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Posted nutmilk info for you in the recipes forum. (don't get overwhelmed, they are as simple as you stated above; I just like to be thorough ) By the way, remember we were talking a bit about getting huge? Did you see this in Dr. F.'s Blog? One more piece of confirmation about what Dr.F. teaches about the dangers of eating to "bulk" with all that fat/calories and protein stuffing. It strains the body and its organs, including the heart. "In his book Eat to Live Dr. Fuhrman claims the training concept of “bulking up,” common among NFL lineman, jeopardizes players' long-term health. Steven Reinberg of HealthDay News reports on new research supporting that idea Dr. Fuhrman’s position:: Read it here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontanaVegan Posted June 7, 2006 Author Share Posted June 7, 2006 Thanks for the long recipe post. I'm about 1/2 done with Dr. Fuhrman's book, it's great. I'll read his blog also.I've already done enough to jeopardize my long term health.42 years of the Standard American Diet. I'll take what muscles I get with a good healthy diet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MontanaVegan Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 I've been slacking for the last few days.My dad and uncles are retired and in town visiting.A small family reunion.I'm suprised how well the BBQs have been, everybody is supportive of my vegan lifestyleBut sadly everybody else eats the typical BBQ meals. The saddest moment was when my 12 year old cousin was served her chicken.She looked so happy, big eyes, big smile and clapping her hands together. We walked Phipps Park Saturday morning.I should have some incredible pictures in the next couple weeks.We will be making a trip to the Beartooth Pass near Yellowstone Park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(or to failure)I think it took about 10 seconds, but I got 205# back on the rack.I didn't try a second rep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystal Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Nice one on the bench PB , I'm sure there will be more in the future with that bench routine . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MontanaVegan Posted July 1, 2006 Author Share Posted July 1, 2006 Hey, MontanaVegan! What do you do for your waist?I've only been doing 2 exercises so far for the middleCrunches and DB Side Bend with 40#I picked a couple that would be easy with what I haveMaybe I'll add others from exrx.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontanaVegan Posted July 2, 2006 Author Share Posted July 2, 2006 Saturday - July 02I tried a Bench, Shoulder and Tricep workout yesterday.It was horrible workout, I had trouble on the bench 20# less than my 1RM. Shaky arms, barely finished 2 reps.I couldn't come close to completing the EAS Bench Program Workout so I gave up for the day.I had been eating Vegan junk food for a couple days. I'll blame it on that.We went on a trip and I didn't pack my normal good food.I'll go at this workout again on Monday. I'm back on fruits, veggies and Vega. Sunday - July 03Today was Back, Biceps and ForearmsHad a good workout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontanaVegan Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 Tuesday - July 4thTook today as a rest day. Maybe a bad idea. I don't lift as much weight as most guys here.But I routinely pick up 120# off the floor for my shrugsToday a 20-30# carpet shampoo machine took me out.It's a compact Rug Doctor, a little bigger than a vacuum cleaner.I picked it up to take it out of my van, and OUCH!My back is really sore right now, hopefully it won't last too long.Right in the middle of the back along the spine.

MontanaVegan Posted July 5, 2006 Author Share Posted July 5, 2006 Wednesday - July 5My back is still a little sore, I'll take another rest day.It doesn't hurt all the time, just if I twist the spine.Hopefully it will be better tomorrow.What a stupid way to hurt yourself.

MontanaVegan Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 My back is better now, that Rug Doctor took me out for a couple days. Friday - July 07Back, Biceps and Forearms today.I've had a sore left forearm for over a week now.It feels like maybe the Wrist Flexor for the ring finger. Saturday - July 08Went for a hike at Phipps Park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontanaVegan Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 I've heard people talking so much about the Captain of Crush Grippers.I ordered a #1 (140 lbs) tonight. Hopefully I can close it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontanaVegan Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 Sunday - July 09Today was Bench, Shoulders and Triceps. A new Personal Best on the bench with 210#It was an ugly lift, my left arm went up faster than my right.Still couldn't get 215 back up to the rack.I'm hoping for 225 by the end of the program Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontanaVegan Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 Thursday - July 13Today was Back, Biceps and Forearms This nagging pain in my left forearm really peaked today.I think I will need to take it easy for a while on anything involving the arms.Hopefully it will get better soon, I'm already missing the weights.I guess this will be a good time to shed some fat.

MontanaVegan Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 I got my Captain of Crush #1 in the mail today I'm still resting my left arm, but my right arm could only get it about 1/4 inch from closed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystal Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Nice one! That #1 is tough (for me at least ). You didn't bother with the trainer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontanaVegan Posted July 14, 2006 Author Share Posted July 14, 2006 Nice one! That #1 is tough (for me at least ). You didn't bother with the trainer?I wasn't sure which to get, #1 seemed like a good place to start.Now I realize that the trainer was probably a better choice.Maybe I'll order a trainer and put the #1 aside for a while.That last little bit is really tough, even with the help of the other hand.Someday I'll be able to pop open cans of spinach like Popeye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystal Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Ha! When I got mine, everyone I talked to said not to bother with the trainer. Glad I didn't listen. Its definatly the last centimeter that gets me every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontanaVegan Posted July 15, 2006 Author Share Posted July 15, 2006 Saturday - July 15A walk in Phipps Park this morning.My left forearms is STILL tender, no weights today.I really want to squeeze my CoC#1 but I need to get over this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
