The stomach vacuum is a fantastic bodybuilding pose that many top pros can no longer do, due to extremely distended and bloated midsections. Frank Zane is a champion of the Vacuum pose. http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lhx3f1QyqDY/Uhpb5gGPVvI/AAAAAAAABw8/TTR6CShv5eY/s1600/frank+zane+vacuum.jpg

How cut are you trying to get? Bodybuilding contest cutting programs can become intense, its dependent on how much you want to "cut" Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk

That's awesome brother. Sounds good. Ive never been to NYC, if I ever come up ill be sure to check it out. Im having a pretty bad day. I was thinking id throw up some progress pictures.

Thanks Emrys. I wish to inspire.

Thanks guys!! I've been giving it my all lately, both mentally and physically. Life has been in a rough patch, just had to power through it. And mini, dude I really hate that shower curtain too.

Thanks guys, I will keep at it.

I can definitely see an increase in muscle size and density. Good job man! Stay dedicated!

I have been working on increasing pectoral size and shape recently.

Thanks Dylan, and thank you fallen horse. I have been focusing on increasing pectoral size and shape and have made some great gains. Its always great to hear feedback!

I posted this in the Vegan Bodybuilding and Fitness page on Facebook. It seemed to really inspire and motivate others. Which is my main goal in life. I'd like to remind everyone that at any age you can make the choice to change your life. It may take time but it can always be done. I love this community.

Thanks Mini, Your always motivating me on here to do my best. It really helps my friend.

Heres two pictures I forgot about while I was cutting.

Thank you Scott, there will be many shows in the future. Trust that. Your right, Mini. I've only been at this for 3 years, and i'll be at it for 30..60..90 more years. I'll be starting a new log up later that will be a constant life and progression log and I want to keep that going for at least a few years.

Thanks buddy, I appreciate it. Thanks Robert, I really appreciate the motivational words. I will continue working and training hard. You've always been a great motivator for me throughout the years.

I couldnt compete due to financial issues, so I'm going to focus on gaining alot of mass this year as I have an important contest next summer. Heres a shot from this morning, not the best lighting.

Hey Guys, I know I haven't updated the log in a while, It breaks my heart to inform all of you that I won't be competing this saturday. Financial problems arose at the last second which were unavoidable. I am honestly quite disappointed, I worked really hard and trained really hard, I was putting my body through hell to get ready for this show. I was ready too, so ready, I was as cut as I felt I could get and I maintained alot of my muscle mass. If money wasn't an issue I'd be standing on that stage This saturday. But I can't focus on that too much, I've got to keep pushing forward in life. Bodybuilding is all I know, It's my life. I Just have to switch up the game plan now. I'll be starting a new log soon, more of just a daily everything log that will never end. That sounds like a good idea. I'm going to be bringing a scary physique to the stage next year. I have some upcoming projects i've been also working on. So if you've been following my progress through the years stay with me, because I'm going to be bringing something amazing to the front soon. -Sunwarrior

I love how Kalimuscle is on there one commercial called "brotein" They payed a good bodybuilder a lot of money to act like a dumb stereotype on tv. He gets more fame and money and just walks away at the end of the day laughing. I despise planet fitness, one just opened up near me.

They ship from california. But I dont know if they ship to germany or not.

Its more about trusting companies like vega and sunwarrior for me personally. Because they care so much about what they put in their products, and they care about the vegan community as well. Truenutrition.com can also be good too for cheap bulk powder. I think you can get 10 lbs. of their vegan blend for what a tub of vega costs. They took forever to get my order shipped though. Two weeks is too long to wait for powder.

Vega sport is delicious and is the best for quality, but its expensive. Sunwarriors "warrior blend" is very good nutritionally, but has lower protein per scoop, and the pea protein in it can be overpowering. But im used to it. I love plantfusion, but im not a fan of the fructose in it, adds too many carbs while cutting. But those are my top 3. So most weeks I check my wallet and then buy vega sport, because then I dont have to buy glutamine as its already in there.

At 36% bodyfat, I would recommend just eating alot of healthy foods and being in a small caloric deficit for your goals. Carb cycling isnt hard, but it isnt easy either. Its more for getting to really low bodyfat levels. Like 5%. It works great for this if you can really understand the science behind what youre doing, and youve got to really know your body inside and out.

Your macronutrient ratios look solid. Keep it up!

A fat free mass index of 26 I believe.

You arent eating enough protein.

Maybe you have an issue with gluten. Seitan used to destroy my insides. Since ive gone gluten-free, my gastrointestinal health is much better. I just remember having serious issues with wheat, seitan especially since its pure gluten.
