Ping Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 (edited) Hello vegans, I'm Jan from Germany, 19 years old and have been vegan for 1 year. I'm training for more than 2 years, but - sadly - irregularly, because I lack(ed) in motivation and for personal perference in doing nothing instead. That behavior, of course, led me to a point where becoming better in training was not possible, but looking trained was not the case, too, which frustrated a bit . In fact, nobody would think, that I go to the gym. I certainly want to change that.As I am finishing school at the moment, I begin to have more freetime, which I spend - also - at the gym and I am kind of re-exploring it, having a lot of fun there and for the first time feeling that I neeeeed to go there again . I write the exams in biology, computer science, english (oh, don't judge ), politics and mathmatics. I spend my freetime at the computer doing all sorts of time-wasting crap . Height: 198cmWeight: ~84kg (I was at 75 since I became vegan and added 9 kilos in the last months, though it's mostly fat I guess, but that looks better than being completly thinny anyways) EDIT->My goal was to reach at least 90kg, but since this is only 6kg away, I decided to set 100kg and a nice progression in the training.<-EDIT I think of opening a diary here and posting stuff about my nutrition then. Can't wait to talk to all of you guys. Edited May 3, 2008 by Ping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuc Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Welcome! You have a great frame to build muscle to! I think it won't be that difficult to reach 100kg while keeping cut if you just stick to training. However, it's gonna take a lot of work to look really muscular because you're very tall, but when you succeed (not if), you're gonna look HUGE!
