Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

I haven't really tried the full body workout approach, but have found working 2 muscle groups a day, 3 days a week to be pretty effective. My routine has usually gone something like this: Day 1: Chest and Triceps Bench Press (DB or BB) Incline Bench (DB or BB) Decline Bench (DB or BB) Dips Skullcrus...

Well I will look forward to seeing you kick more ass than ever.

I'll also look forward to receiving that Vega... mmmmm.

Thanks Robert, Meeting with Ed was awesome! He really helped me polish my form on squats, deadlifts and cleans. Ed suggested I incorporate more variety of nuts and seeds into my diet. I'll be doing some serious shopping in the bulk aisle come payday. His studio is really coming together and I think ...

I didn't have money to pay my member dues at the gym, so this week I'm going to be working out from home. The only equipment I have is a makeshift 50lb barbell, a jump rope, the playground across the street and my own imagination. This is what I did today: Jump Rope 5 Minutes Deadlifts: 50x30, 50x50...

When I first started training I was sore after every workout. After the first couple of weeks my body seemed to adapt and start recovering faster. As I have gotten my diet and supplementation on track, soreness has come only with truly exceptional workouts.

Rest day today, and boy am I sore! Good day for breakfast in bed. http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/395940_3057492321354_1384753698_33090318_669573008_n.jpg Just kidding!

While many may think of veganism as a restrictive diet, when I went vegan my diet become much more diverse. I now get excited about eating fruits and vegetables! There is something very comforting about knowing that everything I am eating is actually good for my health.

I do something similar. It is essential for me during workdays when I have to pack 3 meals with me and don't always have time to cook them that same day. I usually make a big batch of brown rice or quinoa and a batch of beans or lentils to keep in the fridge. When its time to pack a lunch I work fro...

I know I get tired of having to explain to people why I am vegan, so I often suggest to people who question my diet to read a book or watch a movie on veganism. My mom tried to convince me to go vegan for a long time but I never considered it until I read The Optimum Nutrition Bible and The Engine 2...

Today I met up with champion vegan bodybuilder Ed Bauer at his new training studio Plantfit in SE Portland. We measured my bodyfat percentage, went over my nutrition and training program, set goals and practiced some lifts to make sure I maintain proper form. I learned a new exercise called the clea...
