When I Started:
Oct, 2007
How I Started:
My grandfather has always been a role model of mine. In his youth he was a weightlifter and a boxer. I have always been impressed with my grandfather's lifting stats (max bench of 345 lb among other impressive stats). My top body building goal is to one day surpass my grandfather in strength.
Why I Love It:
It is a hobby that you can never be finished with. There is always room for improvement. I like the way bodybuilding makes me look and feel.
How I Stay Motivated:
1. Being able to lift more than before.
2. Being able to do more reps than before.
3. Looking in the mirror and seeing where I can improve.
4. Seeing changes on the scale.
BB Accomplishments:
1. Benching two plates (225 lb).
2. Getting down to around 10% body fat.

What TheFitVegan Is Up To:
Oct 9, 2009
TheFitVeganchanged Weight from 188 lbs. to 191 lbs., a 3 lb. gain in 93 days
Note that I am relaxed and not tanned. The lighting is not particularly flattering in this pic (or the other). I have lost a lot of weight since then. Notice how the traps are too dominant. I want to bring out the upper pecs, side and rear delts to balance things out.
Get my body fat down to around 8% (I want to see that 6-pack). Build my upper pecs and rear delts.
Goal (Long):
To have a body that is perfectly symmetrical. My main problem areas are upper chest and rear delts. Also, I think that the front of my upper body needs to catch up to my back.
The two goals that are at the top of my list are: (1)to develop a chest that is uniformly thick from top to bottom, (2) to develop shoulders that are round (rear delts matching the front ones).

A minimum of 6 reps for 2 sets. I always go as heavy as I can and I use the same weight for both sets. When I can do 10 reps for 2 sets then I move up in weight. I am a big believer in low volume training. I find that I get the same results while avoiding over training. A minimum of 6 reps for 2 sets.

How long do you rest between sets on average? Why?
I try to rest for 2 minutes. I do this in order to keep my heart rate up.

What is the best type of protein for you?
Other
Why is this type of protein best?
I am vegan so I don't consume any animal products. I also avoid all soy proteins because of the phytoestrogens. I like to eat pea and rice protein.
Why I like this video: Charles Glass's physique looks very balanced to me.

Why I like this video: Chris Cormier has a natural looking physique. Here in 1993 we see him without the bloated stomach that you see in most body builders today.
