I like your arms, you've really made progress, keep it up !

Wow, you look great, really good progress you've made in my honest opinion ! Cool Finnish vegan muscle power!

I second that.Overall really good looking, but I love those abs. Thank you, Ping, really nice to get positive feedback, keeps me motivated !

Thanks Richard and I'm Your Man, I really appreciate the encouraging comments !

Yeah, looking GREAT ! Really inspiring!

Looking good ! It would be also cool to see some before pictures. Keep it up! BTW, how long have you been working out?

Word! More Finnish vegan muscle power is needed in my opinion !

With full body work outs this can be an issue, but usually it's not that bad. I work out 3 times a week with a full body program, having 1-2 rest days between the training sessions. Usually I've recovered enough, but on my "pump weeks"(doing 15 reps) my body is on fire(and I must admit that I kind of like it) .

Thank you for your compliments, I'm getting a bit blushed here . Yeah, you're right, we have met earlier on a Finnish forum. Your progress has also been an inspiration to me. Also others members here on the Vegan BB&Fitness Forum have motivated me in my training. Thanks for the nice words, it's very motivating to get positive feedback . After the picture from 2006 I've gained almost 15 kgs, which I think is pretty much. And maybe I should consider the ab contest.

Hi everyone, I've been registered here for a while, but still haven't posted anything. Now I thought it was about time, so I encouraged myself to add a couple of pictures to show my progress. I'm a 22 years old vegan male from Helsinki, Finland, and I've been following the path of veganism ever since november 2003. I've been lifting weights more and less actively for about two years now, and I have a background of athletics in my youth. The last month or so I've been eating more heavily and gained a few kilograms. Now I'm trying to slowly bulk up during the next year. I train 2-3 times a week depending on my other schedule(university, work, friends, social activities etc.) with a full body program. My next target area will be the back, which I want to be bigger in size. Time to bulk 'n' pump, folks B) ! Here's a "before picture" taken in the summer of 2006: http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk288/simwave/HPIM0391.jpg BTW: it's been taken in Porvoo, Finland. The following after pictures have been taken this week. This one show my pecs, shoulders and abs: http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk288/simwave/Kaikenlaista2007-2008124.jpg Biceps: http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk288/simwave/Kaikenlaista2007-2008125-1.jpg Back(or the lack of it): http://i283.photobucket.com/albums/kk288/simwave/Kaikenlaista2007-2008126.jpg PS. Sorry for my bad english, did my best at least, hope you can bear it .
