I can't eat soy, and I like this texture, but it was quite expensive. Does anyone know where would be the cheapest place to order this in the US or Canada?
This is an annoying thing that I noticed this week seems to happen the day after I go hard on my ab workouts. They're something I need to do for the benefit of relieving back pain, but this is starting to annoy me! I was close to developing any type of ab pack before I hurt my back, so I'd like to at least get back to where I was.
Has anyone else had similar issues? Was there anything that resolved it for you? I usually suck on a piece of ginger/mince ginger and drink it in hot water, but that remedy is usually very ephemeral.
UK based. Been using Nuzest but curious if anyone has any recommendations.
Caloric surplus 🤝🏾 Heavy lifting
Anybody tried either of these? Opinion?
Fruit and natural nut butters
Always looking to try new ones :)
Do any of you here actually use it or feel any benefits?
I’ve just taken the Myprotein pre-workout shot and I’m not sure it’s worth tolerating the hour of skin burning, itching and face flushing! Which I was NOT expecting!
By that I mean: what's your simple vegan meal that hits all your macros. Looking for ideas to get more consistent and something easy sounds perfect.
Chop up 3-5 of your favorite vegetables (carrot, onion, celery, potato, and tomato in this case), add 3-5 of your favorite seasonings (salt, pepper, and dill in this case), saute for 5-7 minutes, add in vegan protein of choice (beyond meat steak tips here), sautee for another 7-9 minutes.
Serve with option horseradish sauce, guac, or humus.

Can't wait to keep improving this lift!
I posted a while back (which was the last time I did a dead lift 😅) but listened to some great suggestions and tried a verse grip for the first time. Same weight flew up so much easier (and a wider grip with better balance.) Cheers to the gains, vegan fam!
I'm starting to lift heavy and I have kind of a weak back/core-- I'm training it as much as I can without supports obviously, but I'm looking into belts now and they are ALL leather/suede on Amazon, unless I'm just not looking close enough.
Anyone know of a good quality, vegan, budget-friendly (<$50) belt?
Not doing as much rice as I used to, prefer quinoa these days, but found this box of black rice I need to eat.
Been loving Barbell Medicine Powerbuild III if anyone was looking to buy themselves a really solid holiday gift of gains.
Also some cool vegan lifting belts: https://humanemuscle.com/vegan-powerlifting-belt/
I am currently benching 35 kg. I went to a different gym tonight and the weights felt much heavier, even though this is my usual first of two weekly sessions, same warmup same rest period. Is there a reason why I struggled a lot more than usual to push the same weight?
I'm from a background of running and cycling and had previously done predominantly cardio with just the occasional weights day.
The past year or so I've settled into 3 days of cardio, with 2 days at low/zone 2 intensity and 1 day of intervals or hill reps.
Plus 3 days of weights, a full body workout each session, but one with a bit more focus on upper body, one with a bit more focus on lower body, and the final one pretty balanced.
I alternate the cardio & weights each day then have a rest day each Monday with just a gentle walk for 30-60mins that day for a bit of active recovery.
Super interested what kind of balance between weights and cardio others have?
Happy vegan strong Transformation Tuesday fam! Much has changed over the years but one thing sure hasn't. I'm still out here making vegainz & smashing those vegan stereotypes alongside all of you!🌱💪
I was told that I'd be protein deficient, my hair would fall out and I would wither away. . . After 10+ years the results are in and it turns out that was false lol. The beard has grown, the muscles have grown & my only regret about switching to a 100% vegan lifestyle is not doing it much sooner✌️
Recently started tracking my carbs in an attempt to get leaner. Having a hard time figuring out what to eat that isn’t meat🤦🏻♀️
