Just moved into new home with fiance and kids. I have no idea how to even judge what kind of weight and force(from deadlifts) the floor of this loft can handle. I'm planning to have a bench press, a hex bar for squats, many dumbells, 2 or 3 barbells, 6 to 8 45lbs plates, and a cable machine. I'm guessing up to 2 or 3 thousand pounds of equipment? Should I check the integrity of the loft? Whats the best way to do so? Is the carpet a problem? I would like to mount wall mirrors. Should I replace the carpet with something else? Or can I put something over the carpet that won't mess with my balance and footing? How do I manage the…

Hi, Like title says, I've been vegan since Sept 2016 and started out new modified vegan diet and exercise in April of this year. I'm sticking with strength training since mid-May. Here's the tricky part, I'm trying to build muscle as an ectomorph (technically meso-ectomorph). My calorie intake is about 7500, I try to get at least 170-180 g protein in a day with plant based protein powders, vegan creatine, plant based protein drinks, nuts/seeds/beans/greens. I also get extra b12 in vegan oral spray supplement. I workout 5 times in a week, max weight 4 sets of 8-10 reps. Oh, I also try to get some fat and lots of carbs. I try to get 8 hrs sleep if possible. I workout…

Hi I’ve had MS multiple sclerosis since 2012. I want to try a vegan diet. I’m eating so many carbs, where I was eating under 150-100 grams with a traditional bodybuilding low carb diet. How does one get protein? I’m using quinoa/brown rice pasta right now. Or just plain quinoa from Trader Joe’s that i microwave. The carb/protein ratio is extreme. What do you guys eat to stay lean? Thanks so much, Lawrence

I am a 46-years-old male, from the DFW area in Texas. I was doing the paleo diet for about 7 years, until this past January. I switched over to plant based diet. I found my workouts and muscle gains suffered. I am trying to add in some pea protein and more food to hopefully see gains again, but minimize fat gains. Glad to have a place to find some good information.

Hello everyone! My name is Scott and I wanted to post an intro here, where I am on my plant strong journey and getting into the best shape of my life. For the past 4 weeks I have been watching a lot of Vegan BB meal planing videos and putting them to good use. I am going on my 5th week on a 100% plant strong lifestyle and have been inspired by many of the channels on YT. No meat, dairy, egg, added sugar and as little added oil as possible. What I am doing: I am 47 years old, 215-220, am lifting 3 days a week (Combined muscle groups) and doing cardio for 5 days (3 days are after I lift). My primary goal is loss of fat rather than size though I wont complain if I se…

Hi guys, I'm a vegan strongman who trains also for aesthetics. I incorporate bodybuilding in my training. About me- I've always played heaps of sport and grown up always eating a lot. I've always been lean and always tried to eat for health. I started going to the gym during my first uni days and lifting with no real idea of what I was doing. I kept eating meat and animal products until one day I found out my brother was vegetarian... I couldn't believe it, why? The more I thought about it and researched the more I realised veganism was the only logical way to live in the modern era! At this time I was starting to get my first 1 arm push ups etc. I trained body weig…

Just wanted to quickly introduce myself. I'm a woman in my early 30s from the Bay Area. I've been vegan for a little over a year. I've never felt better in my life!

I want to get more serious about my fitness regimen, and include more strength training and aqcuire a more advanced yoga practice. I'm excited to be part of this community and support eachother as vegans and health conscious individuals!

Hello there, I have been on a plant based diet for nearly 5 years now. I have always been relatively athletic and love to work out. This year I hit 30 and had my first child. I have always wanted that "Chiseled" look but I am realizing now is the time. I am really taking this seriously, and I would like to go to Body Composition event and compete. I know there is a lot of work to do, but I am up for it. I am hoping that I can find motivation and help along the way. I am also a huge nutrition nut. I switched to a plant diet based on stomach issues I had struggled with all my life. The change literally saved my life and I wanted to learn more about it so I started read…

Hello everyone! First of all thanks for taking the time to read this post, it might be a bit boring to some as this is just a basic introduction. So, My Name's Brad, I'm 24 and have been vegan for over 3 years now. I've always had a slim build, weighing around 56 kilos since my teens, at the moment I'm weighing between 58/59 Kilos (I'm 174 cm tall) I've put on weight since losing quite a bit last year.Long story short, My girlfriend at the time fell ill whilst we were on holiday, and our 3 day trip turned into 21 days, she had to stay in hospital and I was staying at her mums with our now 2 year old daughter, without eating properly or at all. I fell down to around 5…

Thought I'd get into the habit of posting more often by starting with an introduction. I'm a late 20's semi-professional soccer player living in Toronto who went vegan in the summer of 2017. During the offseason, I run, lift, and do calisthenics for fun.

Hey there everyone! I'm new to being Vegan and started a few days ago. I joined this board to make sure I can keep on top of my fitness as I change my diet. I figured that I changed my diet for health reasons (with a plus of not harming animals), why not take the most advantage and gain some more muscle out of it? Just to give everyone an idea; I'm a pretty small dude. I'm only 5' 4" and weight about 120lbs. I get all of my cardio and leg workout from skateboarding. I skate once or twice a week for 4+ hours to the point where basically I can wring sweat out of my shirt... I've been going to the gym for the past month and focusing on weight training, biceps, trice…
