hello nick. that legendary picture is back on the scene

Having sustained a wrist injury, I am now unable to train my upper body. I am using this negative situation as a positive chance to focus on my legs, core and abs. Thusly, I will be training legs, core and abs 3 times a week, though I am unable to squat due to wrist positioning. Front Squat 60kg x10 60kg x 8 70kg x 8 70kg x 7 60kg x 8 Ham curl 77kg x 8 (x2) 84kg x 8 (x2) Leg press 88kg x2 (x8) 97kgx 8 (x2) Leg extension 105kg x 8 (x4 with strip set) calf raise 79kg x30 88kg x25 97kg x20 115kg x15

yes there is a difference... steroids work. I have never seen anyone make dramtic gains from creatine, but then again I have never heard of someone getting depressed or covered in acne from taking creatine.

I have developed an annoying wrist injury in my left hand probably doing flys or dumbell presses. My wrist constantly aches, especially when I bend my hand outward. The thing is, it doesnt hurt when i train. When it coms however to picking up up a cup it stings like a bitch. Anyone had any experience with a similar injury and no how long of training i might have to take to recover?

first proper back session in a while went pretty well but wrist injury still giving me grief Dead Lifts 120kg x 8 x 3 130 x8 x1 Close Grip lat Pull down 84KG X 8 (X4) Dumbell shrugs 42.5kg x (8x4) barbell rows 60kg x 8 (x4) dumbell shrug hold at top for 3 secs 22.5kg x8 (x4) core workout

Hello All I have just started vegan bodybuilding. I was a vegetarian from about the age of 11 till the age of 23 when I decided to try cut-out dairy but include sea food such as prawns, and white fish. as a pescatrian i achieved my best lifts. I thought I would give vegan bodybuilding ago as a bit of an experiment but also due to ethical complaints with dairy farming and over fishing, maybe i'll even nake some friends or meet a nice girl thrpugh this change in lifestyle, who knows. The obstacles to me viewing vegan bodybuildi as tenable at present howver are: 1) Cost - my planned high protein , high fruit and veg weekly shop is costing me around £100 a week. this is ridiculous 2) the problem of getting lean protein - sure non dairy and meat food sources have plenty of protein but not without carb and fat overload 3) convenience look foward to getting any advice.

Deadlift - 419lb Bench press - 276lb Squat - 298lb

First chest/tricep session today, felt pretty weak. The gym instructor also put me through a core work out that made me realize how badly I have neglected this area. Dumbell Press: 35kg x 8 (x 3) 35kg x 7 (bad form) Incline Bench: 60kg x 8 x2 60 x 6 x 2 Dumbell Flys 20kg x 8 (x4) Scull crush 30kg x10 35kg x8 (x2) 40 x 8 Behind head seated dumbell 32.5kg x7 (x2) 32.5kg x 8 (x2) Overhead tricep rope pulls 45kg x 8 (x4) Core/abs plank 30 secs plank with 5 left leg raise, 5 right leg oplasnk with arm raise plank on ball 30 secs extend elbow to knoee crunches

Today I start my Vegan Bodybuilding regime At my strongest (About 3 months ago) my personal bests while being on a pescatarian diet have been: Bench press 8 reps on 100kg/220lb Deadlift one rep on 190kg/479lb squat I rep on 140kg/309lb At present having not really trained probably for several months pull ups (full lock out): 15 > 10 > 8 > 7 squat: 8 reps on 100kg (x 4) bench: 8 reps on 85kg (x4) dead lift: 6 reps on 120kg (x4) dumbell shoulder press: 8 reps on 30kg (x 4) Lets see if these increase

In the past as a vegetarian I have typically consumed these shakes: breakfast -soya and whey protein post workout - whey before bed - casein Now that i am moving away from milk derivatives and my shakes options are 1) soya 2) hemp 3) Brown Rice 4) pea Protein At what times should I be consuming them, i.e. what are the fast absorbing, what are the slow releasing, etc??

Cheers. Yes this is what I suspected: an unwillingness of vegan BB to use steroids probably acounts for a significant size difference, especially baring in mind that steroids are so widely used, even by your average joe in the gym (in my training group at uni about 75% where juicing). Whey Protein howvere still has a reputation as the best post-workout protein, how do the plant based alternatives weigh up in other peoples opinions?

As I have been briefly surveying the internet researching vegan bodybuilders I have noticed that most vegan bodybuidlers are not very massy, infact they dont really look much different to the guys I see in the gym who wouldn't call themselves pros by any measure. If these bodybuilders are getting all the right proteins, what explains this? is this perhaps due to an unwillingness of vegan bodybuilders to use steroids?

Hi Everyone I'm from Bristol, England. I have been vegetarian from the age of 10 to the age of 22. At 22 I started eating fish but cut-out diary. In January I will be making a move to vegan bodybuilding and seeing how this effects my training.
