    Soooo. Hello

     

    Currently following Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 and loving it. I'm doing more assistance exercises, especially for upper body, lately. The focus is and always will be on strength, but having a big set of guns can't hurt

     

    Body weight is still around 108 kg. Maybe less fat these days though.

     

    This year is going to be all about consistency and maxing out hardly ever. Just going to stick with this program for as long as possible, because I think it's great. I've already hit some rep PR's in a few lifts. Things are going well.

    Abs problem

    This is a photo of a gym buddy of mine. Notice how big his abs are. He is a super strong guy, does squats, deadlifts, bench etc with heavy heavy weights & fairly low reps, plus a few assistance exercises. He is also very meticulous when it comes to diet and it shows with how lean he is.

    "Coming Out" to the Family - VENT

    I like djshrew's advice. I would try learning some good vegan versions of the traditional Southern recipes and as long as they taste great, maybe make some to bring along to share with your family.

     

    I think one of the best ways to approach it is to show them all the things that you CAN eat as a vegan, as opposed to looking at it in terms of what you can't or won't eat now.

     

     

    For Vegercize, regarding your grandpa cooking spag bol for you - there's lots of veggie mince options over here. You might know about them already. Sanitarium make a good vegan one, which you can find in the fridge at most Coles or Woolworths. You could buy some of that and offer to help him cook and show that you can still have good old spag bol.
