Nice, congrats man!

I'm going to start incorporating more compound lifts to my routine. For beginners-intermediate builders, I've heard that this is a wise choice. Once you've been doing compounds for a while, then you can add more isolation workouts.

Just received this. Anybody else try it?

Oatmeal, oatmeal, and more oatmeal.

Currently reading "Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness" by Robert Cheeke.

I was wondering the same thing. I'm currently transitioning from vegetarian to vegan.

....The employee there told me before I bought it that it contains estrogen, and men should stay away from it COMPLETELY....

As of now, I'm a vegetarian, not a vegan. But I am trying vegan nutrition when it comes to my training. I'm glad there's a forum where I can chat and have support from other people going through the same challenge.

Well, just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Adrian
