veganjons75 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Hi all, been vegan for about 8 years now. I'm 5' 10" 145 lbs and tired of giving vegans a bad name. Always get the "you aren't getting enough protein" line from people.Funny thing is I weighed the same when I ate meat. I have read the site and have greatly increased my caloric intake lately. The key is definitely eating 5 to 6 times a day and it is helping.Also, I am taking weight lifting at school where we use a journal which makes more of a difference then I thought it would. My goal is to gain as much mass as possible so am doing the heavy weights 12-10-8 reps three sets each. Any other vegans in Sacramento area want a workout partner? Always looking for advice. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubby2112 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Welcome! I find a journal to be a huge boon also. It helps you to know whether your program is working well for you or not. Also, it helps slow people like me remember what weight to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuc Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Welcome! If you want to get an optimal diet as well as optimal workouts, start a training log here. Loads of people will read it and suggest if you can do something better! If you want to gain mass, go for large moves such as squats and deadlifts. You'll only need a few sets at a single workout and you'll gain loads of muscle real soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
