@bigswallow Hahaha I tried shaving and immediately knicked myself which caused a small infection, hence the patch

@bigswallow Steroid powered muscle 
@learning1 Idk why this is downvoted OP has literally very transparently commented about their stack below.
@learning1 What’s funny is I’m bigger and stronger than my meat eating peers who also use - ergo, the only difference is food. Thereby proving you can build more muscle on plants if you train hard and eat enough (again, before you go on the wrong tangent, we both use, they pull 5 plates, I pull 7)
@qcontent Genetics? Experience? Form? There’s a lot else that goes into it. That’s like saying; my wife beat me in a quarter-mile using green fuel so green fuel must be better than gasoline. Except she’s in a Porsche 911 and I’m in an M3. And she’s been driving 5 years longer. And her handling is better.
You cannot ignore other variables in a desperate attempt to state your point. Your evidence seems to be anecdotal. I am YET to see a plant-based proven-natural lifter achieve anywhere near the same results as an omnivore in the same time period, with similar genetic potential and the same experience in the gym.

@learning1 Let me as you this. What would convince you? What piece of evidence would convince you that it is possible?
@qcontent Scientific study. Peer reviewed research. Published papers by reputable scholars.
Let’s not pretend; your progress is admirable, but it is because of your stack, not your veganism. You are at a detriment on a vegan diet, the science shows it. This post promotes steroid use not veganism.

stack?@calostemma You can DM for (some) specifics, but I cannot be 100% accurate - this was a year ago and I cannot really recall the specifics to the T, unfortunately. Shit memory
