Eric--
How'd you find bulking as a vegetarian? I'm rehabbing a shoulder injury and have dropped almost 40lbs since I stopped being able to lift. Getting back slowly, but I've been giving thought to trying a vegetarian diet for a month.
At the time I was dirty bulking basically, eating anything I could. Mostly because I had to but if I were to get back into shape again, and I plan on it, I'll be going way cleaner for cardiovascular reasons. It'll be harder to do but it's worth it IMO.
For vegetarians there are still a lot of calorie dense, high protein options though, slightly more difficult for vegans. I'd definitely recommend going vegetarian and body building though, it's good shit. :thumbsup:
Yeah no way I'm making the vegan leap, at least not yet. Dating 2 vegan chicks at the moment who I'm sure would help me with a diet plan though, and I'm sure they'd be happy to have me stop picking on them about not eating animals. Noticed in the last year that my body reacts VERY very poorly to beef protein and I rarely cook fish at home so the only real sacrifice would be giving up chicken. I think I can live with the change in diet, but I'm 6'5 so I need to pack on a LOT of weight for it to show. Haven't seen many HUGE dudes at the gym walking around pounding shakers of almond milk and tempeh.
ITT bunch of guys who juice carrots, apples and other sugary shit combined with idiots who now call those who eat meat & veg "semi vegan" (it's called a balanced diet you fat fucks).
Go juice your hamburgers and be done with it.

I am going to have to call bullshit here bro, if that was the case
with a warning says it kills right next to the cigarette poster
I think the Omega VRT350 in a previous post made better juice than the Breville.

I still prefer my Blendtec. :thumbsup:
Good point for sure. What's your BMR? Being 6'5 and putting on visible mass has to be pretty difficult. I'm way shorter and I still had to slam calories like a mother fucker, was more time consuming than anything. Having vegan chicks around is good though. If you try body building on a vegetarian diet def. let me know I'm interested in how it goes for you.
Probably should start with a cheap juicer for starters, just my opinion though. You can grab a cheap juicer for like $30.
This.
I had a juicer in the closet still new in the box from years ago and it cost less than 50 bucks. Gets the job done and I would recommend to anyone to get a juicer first over a blender because when you blend it it's much thicker and takes much longer to drink.
So if you are new a make a terrible tasting concoction it would suck ass to have to drink it from a blender. If your brew sucks from a juicer you can just gulp it and get it over with.
Biggest benefit for me is no longer having debilitating hunger after not eating for a few hours when I wake up to the point where I feel physically weak and shaky. Then stuff my body with empty nutrirentless junk and have no energy all day.
tl;dr juicing from a cheap starter juicer is exponentially better than not eating or getting big plates of fruits / veggies period.
Little late to the juicer bandwagon, but better late than dead, aye?
Got my juicer a little over a week ago and have been using it everyday and loving it. Got the whole family doing most of it. (The 3 year old is always a foo(d) fighter) Right now we're all just supplementing, not fasting or raw food dieting. That may change at some point but I want to maintain a fun and relaxed attitude about the whole thing to ensure my family sticks with it.

I find that my family has been consuming so many carbs and sugars that they can't handle normal, healthy fruits and vegetables without gagging at the blandness/bitterness.
Any one claiming they feel better or have more energy by using a juicer is merely feeling the placebo effect. You can get more vitamins and minerals that your body needs by taking a good multivitamin.
I tried making my own V-8 type drink. I went out and bought all the vegetables necessary and it turned out to be a disaster. It came out like this grey snot and didn't taste that good either. I think I needed to use a whole lot more tomatoes. lol
My favorite part about juicers is cleaning them. :hollering:

Decided to start a juicing fast today. Will shoot for 10 days and then see how I feel at that point.
hmmmm ok you keep doing that.

I bought a juicer and didn't keep up with using it. I'll have to break it out again and give it another shot. I think the last time I used it I added a whole onion to the mix and man did that wreak havoc on my digestive tract. Maybe I won't do that this time. haha
