flanders77 Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 Let me introduce myself:Name: David SchulzDate of Birth: 07/16/1977Body height: 185 cmWeight: 90 kgStrength Training since: 1994Starting Weight: 67 kgVegetarian since: 1995Vegan since: 2004Other Interests: YogaGirlfriend: Anke (29 Years old)Children: 1 daughter Marla (4 Month old)Profession: Sports Scientist at the University I started being Vegetarian in 1995 for health reasons being influenced by the BSE-Drama. In 2000 my intake of animal food (dairy products) declined rapidly and since 2001 the only source of animal food was bread, honey and when my mother-in-law put some cream into dressings.Inspite of being vegetarian herself my girlfriend does not agree with my way of eating. For her I am just too extrem. I did not manage to take her with me on my way of really acting responsible.When I started strength training i was really skinny. After a few years and a lot of eating I gained about 13 kg. As long as I was eating dairy products I never managed to reach 85 kg. Since 2002 when I ate nearly no dairy products anymore I gained another 10 kg and became much stronger. Since I am vegan I lost some weight but became even stronger in the same time. My favority exercises are: dumbbell bench-press (45 kg each side), squats (140 kg) and dumbbell biceps curls (24 kg each side).Since my daughter is born I only train 2 times a week for 1,5 hours with a plan spilt into two different days. I still manage to gain power and being stronger than many heavier athletes in my studio.Besides strength training I try to do yoga as often as possible. Here I emphasize on meditation and doing the Asanas very slowly. Yoga for me is a way of living more than another kind of sport.I hope it was interesting for you to read something about me... See you soon here in the forum! It is great that vegan Athletes from all the world can meat here! David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
