Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

I don't remember most of the days that I did this stuff. Incline bench 45x2x15, 95x6, 135x6, 155x6, 185x3x6 Dumbell Rows 80x8, 85x8 Close grip bench 135x8, 185x2x6, 205x2x6 Shoulder press (plate loaded machine, free weights all taken) 25 per side x4x10 (alternating regular grip and neutral grip) Wid...

I think flax oil is a good fish oil replacement if you want to take some sort of oil. I'm not sure how effective either of those are at helping with joint pain, though. Definitely start foam rolling, take advantage of it if your gym has them. What are you currently doing for warm-up and cool-down?

That's pretty interesting, I haven't seen back and grip strength correlated that way before but it makes sense. I personally like to go double overhand for as long as I can (until the weight is so heavy that my grip won't hold up to it anymore) before using the straps. I don't really like the mixed ...

Yeah, finding a team or a training partner to lift with is one of the best things you can do imo, but do what you can as you can. You can still get really big and strong training on your own, too. 5x5 is a great program, I used my own version of that to get to 2 plate bench, 3 plate squat and 4 plat...

Wooow, such a gorgeous view. I'm jelly =P. I wish powerlifting meets were held in that kind of setting, haha. Glad to hear you're alright man. I got lost on a hike the other week, but fortunately I was carrying plenty of food and water.

My weak bench keeps me from feeling like I'd be a true competitor at a powerlifting meet, and I want to overcome that hurdle both as a mental block (continually thinking I'm not strong enough to compete) and a physical block (I gotta get myself to at least a 150lb bench to be competitive, realistic...

Have you ever seen anybody about your shoulder? Did you injure it at some point/do you know what's causing the pain?

Nah, not stupid unless maybe you're crazy sore/under-recovered and you plan on going super hard on the deadlifts today. Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do when the rest of life is getting in the way. You won't be able to come close to overtraining unless you start training multiple times per d...

Sunday 1/19 Arnold press standing 27.5x10, 32.5x10, 40x10, 50x3x10 Rows 2 sets snatch grip 2 sets med grip 2 sets close grip 135x6x10 Went on a 5 mile hike, got lost off the path and had to carry my 20lb dog over wet boulders and through a forested area with thorny blackberry bushes on a very steep...

Hell yes! I look forward to seeing you hit those numbers and more, sir.

Awesome strength dude, how many kilos do you think your hair adds to your total? Haha jk. Looks like Westsiiiiiiide is working well for you!

Awesome, will subscribe to your channel as soon as I get back home from holiday. Keep killing the workouts, I'm jealous of your beastly strength haha. Serious question: Do you regard yourself as naturally strong, or do you have to work really hard for it? Thanks dude, hahah. It has been a long proc...

Yep

Do you have any vids of you lifting mate? Would love to have a look at your style/technique seeing as you aren't that much bigger than I am in terms of bodyweight :) Yeah I'm loving the shoes so far, they feel great. Sorry for the late reply, been busy getting school sorted out and with work this w...

You're killin it brah. I'm a big fan of the snatch grip deads as well. I wonder what could be going on with your shoulder--do you feel like maybe your technique is breaking down a bit as you get fatigued from the higher reps?
