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.

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…

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.

Hello everyone! Some of you might not be aware of simple actions that go a long way in supporting this website. I fund it all myself and it can get expensive at times with the tours and promotions, give-aways and programs, and paying those who help run and maintain the website. I want to inform you of ways you can contribute to this wonderful resource by doing things you already do. Here are some easy ways to support this forum and www.veganbodybuilding.com: 1. If you already use Vega products, please consider ordering from any of the 4 stores I work with. When these stores order from Vega, I get commission. I've been working with Vega for 6 years and these days I…

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.

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).

Hey guys, so glad I found this forum. I'm a 38 year old man. Been vegan two years and have been working out about 2-3 times a week for the last year. I don't do much cardio (although I walk a few miles each day). I've basically been focused on building up my skinny upper body. So far, I've been doing well in that department but my gut has gotten bigger as well. So my question is, is there a way to specifically lose that stomach fat while continuing to gain pounds in the other areas of my body? Thanks for all the help.

I've started doing a lot more olympic lifts as a part of my routine as of late and was searching online for some vegan-friends olympic lifting shoes. Unfortunately, it seems like every shoe I've found has a leather upper or something. Do any of you folks have any suggestions? I am looking specifically for olympic lifting shoes - I'm currently lifting in Vibrams but I want to transition to a proper olympic lifting regimen.

Would love any info on fat distribution and how to "even out" your body. My upper body is pretty slim naturally and since I've been working out I can see a lot more definition and even my abs are starting to show. The lower part of my body is where I hold onto fat the longest and I'm wondering what needs to happen to help the bottom part of me catch up to the top. Haha. I appreciate any insight. Thanks!

This is a brand new day of a brand new year. News Years Eve at midnight as I watched the sliver ball descend in Time Square on TV, I was very happy that 2011 was finally over! At that moment I hated 2011 and welcomed 2012 as a chance of renewal, new hope and potential, and to be much happier and healthier than I was most of 2011. To me 2011 was the year that I faced my own mortality and suffered more pain, more unhappiness, and more despair than I have faced in my entire life except for the three or four years when my late wife Linda was slowly dying from MS about six years ago. While that was a very dark time for me as I was losing my wife and love of 35 years, there …

I've had a nagging pain in my left forearm for about 2 months. It's really making it hard to do anything that involves my arms or gripping. I think it's the little finger's flexor muscle. Today it's even painful if I apply pressure, usually it's not that bad. Do I need to stop working for a while or just go really light? Any help is greatly appreciated. I've included a picture of where the pain is. http://www.huetheronline.org/vbb/flexorpain.jpg

I've been busy so didn't have the time to post here lately. I am training regularly though. I've been testing this for some time. I am a total health freak so I don't really like using any supplements. I eat mostly whole foods, Veggies, Fruits, nuts, seeds and some tofu. I've gained some muscle mass and some fat with it. My goal is to gain some more and burn the little stomach fat I have left. I've been raising the weight I lift all the time, and eating more. I don't really count Calories everyday now, I mostly go by an instinct. It seems like I am stuck at some level now, where my muscle mass is just the same and I can't seem to finally expose a six pack. I am starting…
