Hey.. Thanks for the messages. I have decided to train for the next two months with the 5x5 schedule. This will take me up to the end of march, I will be heading of to the states on the 22nd, so will see what I have gained in strength and size at that time and decide what to do next. My diet as from Monday will be as follows: 6/7am...45g PORRIDGE OATS with 300ml of SOY MILK and 40ml of water. Cals=196..Protein=15.2g..Carbs=27.1g I will be taking 2/3 protein drinks per day of SOY ISOLATE each drink will have 250ml of SOY MILK, 1 BANANA, STRAWBERRIES, and a linwood SEED MIX. Each drink will have the following..Cals=398..Protein=44g..Carb=25.8g x 3 drinks = Cals=1194..Protein=132..Carbs=77.4 I have not included the strawberries in my calculations. VEGGIE SAUSAGE SARNIE about 10/11am 2 pieces of BREAD, SALAD, spreading of HOUMAS.cals=372..Pr=22.8g..Carb=41.2 Evening meal (Varys) Tonight I had SPELT SPAG AND VEG MINCE CHILLI..cals=477..Pro=45.6..carbs=68.6 Sometimes eat beans on toast, I also eat seed mixes thrughout the day. Surely this must be enough to combine with training to make good gains??

Are you doing the stronglifts 5x5 programme?

Cool!! Ive looked at a few topics on here in relation to training schedules. I have decided to alter mine a little. Monday I will keep the same, Chest Tricep Tuesday the same, Back Bicep Thurs, I have decided to bring shoulders and some leg training together. I will now rest on Friday. Saturday I will train every muscle for one set doing as many reps till failure, I feel that this will give me that little bit extra that I have been missing, I will look more into food as well. Anyone with anymore tips will be much appreciated. Thanks Again

Hi Everyone Ive been Veg for 3 yrs and went vegan 5 months ago. I stand at 5'10 and weigh 152lbs (10stone12lbs). I have been trying for around a year to put on 10 to 12lbs in muscle, which would take my weight up to 164lbs (11stone7lbs). I feel this is an ideal weight for a man of my build and have been told that I should be able to achieve this target. However I am struggling. I train 4 times a week with the following schedule. Monday: Chest and Tricep Tuesday: Back and Bicep Thursday: Legs and Abs Friday: Shoulders I have recently been taking Brown rice protein, but am now thinking of trying Soy protein isolate powder instead as I have not been happy with the lack of results with brown rice. My diet is a good one, Lots of salads, lots of veg, rice, Soba noodles, soy products, nuts(lots of seed mixes). I have also stopped drinking alcohol, been dry for 4 months now. I feel great have bags of energy and feel that with some good advice from fellow vegan bodybuilders I can achieve my goal. I am very serious about my training, I am moving to the states in the spring for 9 months to work as a soccer coach and am looking to be making good gains in size and strength as I come to America!! I hope you can help..Thanks for your time...Darren Winter Age 32yrs
