xRogerx Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 My name is Roger and I live in the Springfield Illinois area. I am 30 years old and a father of two. I originally got into veganism for ethical reasons but the health benefits have been pretty awesome too. I learned about animal rights and the vegetarian lifestyle from bands like Propaghandi, Youth Of Today, Gorilla Biscuits, and Earth Crisis. I have been straight edge since I was 20 years old. I enjoy running and biking and I recently started doing some weight training. I really want to get my body in check. Although I have seen some improvement in my physique over the last 4 years, I'm still not where I want to be. I hope to meet some cool people on here that can offer tips and advice.

Sounds like we're gonna get along just fine ahha, punk/hardcore kid here too.I've been wanting to go straight edge for years but never actually commited. Anyways, welcome to the forum dude! what kind of goals do you have for your weight training? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xRogerx Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 Hey whats up man? My goals are to get strong and look ripped. Also I just want to improve my overall health. I got a blood test a few weeks ago and it seems like the insides are ok! My overall cholesterol was 80. Now I just gotta work on making the outside look like a well oiled machine. Do you live in the midwest too? As far as you wanting to be straight edge just take the advice of Gorilla Biscuits. Start Today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegan_rossco Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Becoming straight edge is something I will do, as it stands I've never done drugs in my life and I don't get 'drunk' anymore just the very occasional beer. Nah I'm not matey I live on a little rock in the south of england Hope you had a good christmas anyway I'm looking forward to seeing your progess dude all the best rogerRoss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xRogerx Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 Awesome man! I'm going to visit England someday. I hear its nice and ive always wanted to.

xRogerx Posted January 17, 2013 Author Share Posted January 17, 2013 Jeff is a crazy cyclist! He used to come into the bike shop that I worked at a lot. I see Bruce more often because he works at the local health food store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
