4th Year as a Vegan (3 years Veggie before that)

[robertgreen92301]

@qcontent When you were vegetarian, what was your protein source.

 

[qcontent]

@robertgreen92301 Eggs, and a ton of 'em. I could buy wholesale, so, ended up paying $15-$20 for 360 XL eggs.

@qcontent Jesus Criss how many in a day?! So glad you switched to vegan. The cholesterol must have killed you.

 

[qcontent]

@robertgreen92301 bout 40 whites and 10 - 15 whole

 

[robertgreen92301]

@qcontent More power to you. That’s a lot of impressive work you’ve accomplished. I hope to get in shape one day.

@qcontent What is your “chicken and rice” meal? Im struggling putting back enough calories and protein. Today I hit only 1500 calories and 171g protein.

 

[qcontent]

@jacobwestroswellnm Potatoes & seitan in the airfrier 4-5 times a day, cereal and protein powder before&after training, and a carbohydrate drink during training

 

[jacobwestroswellnm]

@qcontent I just looked up Kelogs zero sugar 20g soy protein isolate cereal at walmart. You just blew my mind, only 160 calories per serving (1 1/4 cup). Thank you man, lol

@qcontent You are an inspiration!!

Would you disclose your lifting ethos? With a plant based diet, are you more into volume training due to recovery?

I am jealous of those abs.

 

[qcontent]

@artichowl Lifting ethos? Not quite sure what you mean by that one? For the longest time I did high intensity, maybe 1 - 3 sets per exercise taken to complete failure - inspired by TrainedbyJP, Dante Trudel, etc. About three months ago I got COVID and had to sit out for two weeks, upon return I wanted to try something new and decided to try high volume. I went from 13 - 15 sets per session to around 40 (over the course of a couple of weeks), but still training very heavy (four plate incline, etc), and using intensifiers like dropsets, rest-pause sets, giant sets, all those goodies. Acutely, the effects are certainly better - HOWEVER, this has only been two months, and it doesn't mean it's the single best way to train. I am currently responding good to it, but I recommend you do what you respond best to.

 

[artichowl]

@qcontent Thanks for this. I appreciate the detailed response. By lifting ethos, this is what I was getting after. There are camps who like powerbuilding, others who like volume, the HIT crowd, and more.

Nailed it!

@qcontent Maybe the most impressive vegan physique ive ever seen

 

[qcontent]

@volare Too kind, thank you!

@qcontent Congratulations

@qcontent Excellent job! We need people like you to prove to the anti-vegans that these types of results are possible. Are you competing? I have a female bodybuilder friend who is competing and she’s doing well, which helps promote veganism as well.

 

[qcontent]

@thegingerone I am! That picture was I think 6 weeks out, and I've taken a good 18 months to gain/cut/gain again, put some size on my lats and arms where I lacked. Will probably compete again in June

 

[thegingerone]

@qcontent Thanks for doing this! With all the misinformation on protein, keto, and animal agriculture, we definitely need advocates like you to spread the message.

@qcontent “wHeRe Do YoU gEt YoUr PrOtIeN?!?!” Amazing physique. Good job!

@qcontent Is this all natural? Mad respect either way
