Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

So hey I deceided to make a blog. Why ? I want to keep my progressions or regressions visible.

So well let's see... I started working out exacltly 4 months ago. I was kinda getting bigger without lifting weight. I was working out on kung fu a lot as well. Those trainings are intense. I've got to be honest.. I'm putting all of my energy in the gym these days.








musketeer stye!

This is how I look NOW... after 4 months. I just took these pics .

Haha I don't look to happy, but hey I just got dressed and it was like 6:30 AM. I don't know if I look any good... or were I should focus on.

- I'm absolutely not satisfied about my arms and abs YET. arms could get LOADS bigger .. especially my triceps.

my abs need a hell amount of sit ups.

- I'm kinda happy about my traps and chest. My chest just developed pretty well cus i used to do more than 400 push ups a day ... Push ups rock

- My legs well, I've been skating for over 17 years they should be muscled by now I work on 'em a lot as well. Why ?

I LOVE leg exercises.


- my back ... needs a lot of work.


I don't take any supplements. Never really tried 'em and like I said before I'm kinda scared of 'em. I don't really know why[/img]

I made this with my uncle two days ago:


the kg's behind the exercise is what I lift on the last set.

front raise 15 kg

The kilograms here is what I lifted with the other program. We'll see what I lift tomorrow...


[ 10 - 8 - 6 - 6 on all ]

I could use some help with the program though. Johnathan said I needed to take out some chest exercises. Or at least that's what I understood I bet he's right, maybe I'm focusing on the beach muscles too much.

I'm 5 feet 8 inches , weigh 74,8 kg now. So I gained exactly 5 kg since I started four months ago. I don't know if that's good or not

My eating program is this ( and I REALLY need to work on that ):

10 am: 2 muesli bowls with soy milk

11 am: piece of fruit orange, kiwi, apple ...

Noon : 6 wheat sandwiches with peanutbutter, nuts, vegan spread etc...

2 pm: some fruit again

4 pm: soy yogurt low in fat + some sandwiches again

from 5:30 pm till 7 pm I'm in the gym !

7:30 pm : falafel, soy, tofu ... 5 potatoes and as much vegetables as possible.

10 pm : some dry wheat bread or nuts

great stuff. Look forward to reading about your progress.

thanks mate !

well today went pretty well.

romanian deadlift 56 kg

I ate some bagels with peanutbutter.

Made a strawberry milshake


ate some baked champignons with a tofu burger, applesauce ; "kroketten" and brocolli for diner. Man that was GOOD.

some fruit for desert.

i think your arms look pretty good.

Thanks man, yours look like they could crush a rock though !
Awesome work!

Well, I just did a set of 60 push ups and ate some peanut butter sandwiches + a glass of orange juice. It's 10 am now.


I was kinda looking in the mirror just a minute ago. And man i need to work on my abs. A LOT.

Nice arms! I meant to comment on this for the past few days but I've been out of town.

Looking awesome man, keep it up!

Great forearms!!!

Wow that coming from you is a BIG compliment! thank you

Just ate the best veganburger i ever had.


*drools*


I think I'm gonna go running now.

You've got a pretty big upper body dude. Just a suggestion, maybe go a little heavier on the squats, you're strong so I bet you could do a lot more. Also heavier deadlifts are great for back devolpment (and pretty much everything else to) so they'd make a good addition. Good work though, looking great.

Yeah I think I'm going to lift some more with squats... They're fun as well

I'm kinda scared of deadlifts cuz I wrecked my back once when I started out in th ebeginning. but they go well now. So that will work as well if I think while I work out.

thank you for the advice and have a great day!!

A suggestion for deads and squats at higher weights, if you don't already:
