Hi all Over the next week or so I plan to sit down and have a good look at the functions and features of the board. Keen to hear what you like, what you think could be better as well as any ideas you might have to make it run better. For example, I noticed that there's another forum that has two buttons which I think are great; one is a 'thanks' and the other is a 'reputation' button. They go towards the users ranking on the board, is a nice little touch (and I've often wanted to say a quick thanks to someone on here before haha). I'll have to see if this forum has the capability to add a 'like' or 'thanks' button in response to someone's post. Anyhow, I'll shut u…

In this thread i want to gather information about training with weights. Everyone is free to post their experiences, routines they made good or bad experiences with, hints, advice etc. Please don't discuss programs here, and please ask only direct questions about posted programs. I will try to keep the thread dense with information. My thoughts on training: I've been working with weights for around 10 years now, and i had my deeps and ups in this time. So, i want to present you what I personally think is important when you want to get bigger and/or stronger. I'll keep it on a general base, at least at first, and won't go into details of my workout, as i believe t…

I am trying out this 80/10/10 diet. Second day, and really hungry and light headed. Anyone else tried this out? What has been your experience? All raw, mostly fruit. I would love some feedback on any results.

Question: How fast do you think you and I and everyone else here at VBBF can reach the combined total ofOne Million Push Ups? I was browsing the forum and was surprised to see we didn't have one of these threads which are very popular elsewhere. Basically everytime you do pushups, remember how many you did and then post here. We'll keep a running total and see how fast we can all contribute to One Million Push Ups completed by members of VBBF. THE VBBF ONE MILLION PUSH UP CHALLENGE: What will YOU contribute? Rules: 1. Be honest! (no hijacking with posts like '5 billion in the past 20 minutes' and imaginary push ups do no count). This is no race, 1 is a contribution.…

After much monkeying about in the backend of the server, I finally got the email issue resolved. So for those that want to change passwords, need to register, etc. you should be able to get emails from the forum now for those activities. Let me know if there are any issues.

Hi everyone - I have been vegan for 25 years. Working out for about 20 years, but only seriously trying to build mass for about a year or two. My questions are about number of exercises to do per body part. I really enjoy working out. When I am doing back, there is probably 9 or more exercises I like to do. My concern is I don't want to overdo it. I want to put on muscle mass, but not planning to compete. Just get bigger. I try to limit my workout to 60 - 90 minutes. My current routine for back: 3 sets bodyweight overhand pull-ups Cable or machine rows Cable or dumbbell reverse flys or rear delt rows (any advice on one over the other?) Bicep curls (cables or b…

So, it appears we may have to upgrade to 3.1.x of the phpBB forum software as I suspect the 3.0.x line will likely be stopping support soon. As such, I figure tomorrow might be a good day to do the update early in the morning (PST) while people are still recovering from ringing in the New Year. I'll be aiming around 7am PST (Los Angeles) The server will be unavailable. I will be backing up the server before I begin this but I do HIGHLY recommend that you do back up anything that you might want to save. Due to the time it's taking to do the backup, I'll do the upgrade tomorrow after I've confirmed the backup is good. I hate when life interferes. Ok. I've had to…

Hi everybody As some of you might know, I just became the new owner of a health/supplement store on 3rd December... http://www.veganbodybuilding.com/forum/download/file.php?id=3187 I apologise for not being on here as much as I normally am, I simply have not had the time to sit down and browse through the forum as I love to do. So please don't think that I have left, don't care, can't be bothered any more etc etc !! Far from it. I just found out from my Head Office that they want to feature myself in their national magazine, this to me is a great chance to spread the word about veganism and its' health benefits (among other things). This will be in the Feb/Ma…

So the topic of user topics has been brought up. One suggestion for the ranks is the following: 0 - 9 = Finch 10 - 199 = Rabbit 200 - 499 = Manatee 500 - 999 = Gorilla 1000 - 2999 = Elephant 3000+ = Stegosaurus I would like some agreement on them. If you like the suggested ranks, please vote yes. If you do not like them, vote no and leave a comment on suggestions as to what to change. If you like none or most of them and have suggestions otherwise.

Alright, so I just took the CSCS exam and realized that I cannot get the exam results back until my college transcripts have arrived. I overnight mailed them my transcripts, called them and they said they cannot predict how long it will take for them to confirm a pass or a fail. Can anyone else who has faced a similar predicament give me any clue of what I face. As for the test content, very hard! The video questions I think I nailed and I think I did pretty well with the nutrition and anatomy questions. Where I stumbled a bit I think are with rest periods when it comes to sprinting, there were several questions that related to rest/work intervals with sprinting and it …

You can’t win every day, you shouldn’t expect to. I lost two bets last night out of two, I made that back and more with my first two bets of today. Don’t expect to win each and every single day, instead look to the long term and ensure that you are ahead long term. Set your bank to suit that, expect a losing run, plan for it. Work out what your longest losing run has been in the past and set up your bank to survive a run that is twice as bad (that day will probably come at some point).

I want to start working out again and do it with my girlfriend. Our goals are different she wants to lose weight I want to build muscle mass. I know it needs a different type of training but I want to a part together. I used to do mainly bodyweight training, Mark Laurens program, wich contains of ladders, interval training, supersets, stappers, tabatas(HIIT). Doing research everywhere I read that cardio is not too effective in weight loss, but weight training is. We don't have too much time on our hands to work out, but would be good to do it at least 3 times a week. What kind of workout schedule would you do?

What are you favourite DVD's, either for the information they provide or just straight-out motivation? I have a stack of DVD's including all of Cutler's, Kai Greene's and some powerlifting ones. Out of all of them, for me these are the couple that I keep going back to... Interested to see what gets posted up here, might be some gems that I haven't came across before. Chur chur MF

There is no key and no lock to control once you get addicted. If betting is your Full time job then have good amount of money in hand, Stick to very few sports (Not Fantasy sports). Spend time on the different sites for few days, analyse the odds before the start and end of the games, then start betting in small amounts, and analyse both win and loss, and continue slowly.
