The way I vote is to imagine being punched in the balls by each person, then decide which person hurt the most, and that person has the best triceps

Absolutely brilliant.

He was 48 when his profile was posted here http://www.veganbodybuilding.com/?page=bio_avi Maybe 50 now if the profiles don't update; do they?

Eeeew!

 

Yeah, if I pick up something and can't pronounce the ingredients.. I won't put it in my mouth. It most likely some kind of harmful chemical, preservative, or something else processed. It's terrible for you.

What about Dihydrogen Monoxide?

Hard to decide

What kind of internet connection are you using?

I think I saw there that somebody clicked the "Preview" button after writing the post, and THEN clicking Submit. Try that maybe?

Well since it's also about bodybuilding, how about:

Vegan & Fitness Radio, or:

The Fit Vegan Radio

Excellent!

Here's my triceps pic, hopefully it posts.

I know I take terrible digital pictures but I will get better, hopefully lol.

Blurry pictures You should try using the timer on your camera maybe. Same for you, Octo.

"Personal Best", the most weight you've lifted on an exercise.

 

I'm a bit surprised you guys don't keep a PB table, we have one over at VF. Squat, Bench and Deadlift, although there are some tables for other lifts.

Excellent idea. We should do this.

What is a "PB" ????

Although I believe that humans are suppose to eat a Omnivorous diet (if we were not, plant food would provide V B12 somewhere, since it doesn't I have no choice but to believe we suppose to eat animal occasionally).

Welcome.

Regarding B12, this is often debated. viewtopic.php?t=13102 Here is somebody I posted about that doesn't supplement, and had a B12 test. Then, there's Bigbwii that's a fruitarian. I don't think he supplements, but not sure. Harley, the first one, does eat a lot of wild plants, so the B12 might indeed be coming from some dirt on the plants.

Of course supplementation is recommended.

We’ve all heard the figures. We know that meat production uses significantly more land and fossil fuel resources than a vegetarian diet. But, then, why on earth is it cheaper to eat meat than fresh fruit and vegetables?

Almost 75% of U.S. government subsidies go into meat and dairy production, but less than half a per cent goes into fruit and vegetable production. Talk about an upside down world!

This is why the Farm Bill, that favours the most destructive and largest food producers, is so significantly out of touch with what you’d hope would be the real goals of society — health of the environment and the people in it.

0.37% for fruits/veg?? If this is true, this is absolute insanity

got my b12 test back today. it was 33 now is 110. the min rda range level is 120.

 

so how on earth did that happen? my b12 went up? was it cos i lowered my fat intake for the last 4 months and my absorption increased?

 

While this may appear to be a compelling reason to avoid B12 supplementation, it is playing with fire IMO.

Vit B12 is an essential human vitamin. Every person has a different supply that they will use up before showing signs of deficiency

I agree. But the main thing here is if it's possible to get B12 from a natural plant diet. By the looks of it, if his B12 went up, he must be getting some. B12 is the only real argument about veganism being "unnatural". I suppose one could eat some insect for B12

Eat more fruit maybe

I found this guy to be really cool. He's cycling around Australia and other countries on just raw plants, no supplements. He even won a durian speed eating competition in Thailand, lol

One argument many have with him concerns with B12, that he doesn't supplement.

Interesting test result he got though(From page 6 on rant thread)

Are they getting enough calories?

I've been taking a look at this site for a few years now. How I found it isn't complicated. Google "vegan bodybuilding" and this site comes up as the first one.

What's next after this? How about forearms?

Can somebody post a summary? What is it that's unhealthy?

Good contest! Lots of great physiques here

You rock

I do wonder if there is a grain of truth in the nutritional aspect. Maybe iron or something, but certainly not protein. But the truth remains, that it is inefficient.
