  hi

  Good to have you as a motivator. The concept 2 challenge we have both joined looks good. Looks like you are working out well, I'm mostly rowing and walking. Keep up the good work.

  howdy!

  Hey Brett sorry for the delayed response i've been slack using gyminee lately and forgetting to log my workouts or even login. Firstly that's fantastic you are training on a vegan diet we need more vegans to get out and get fit and change the perception that we are a pack of whiny, anemic weaklings! Ok so basically i either do powerlifting routines or just incorporate mainly compound exercises in my workouts and avoid isolation as much as possible That being said i will throw in barbell curls and tricep skullcrushers each week if i am bored. I train a split of 1 bodypart workout each week so Day 1 Chest/Back, Day 2 Legs, Day 3 Rest, Day 4 Shoulders/Traps, Day 5 maybe arms. Either that or if training for powerlifting purely, i will do a heavy chest/legs day and a light chest/legs day every week. So heavy bench/squats/deadlifts start of the week, and light weights later in the week. Food wise i think you are on the right track and Quinoa is a fantastic protein source and can be used in so many meals...oatmeal with quinoa is awesome. I eat a lot of lentils/chickpeas/tempeh/tofu/wholegrains/avocados/peanut butter etc...fresh fruit, veggie burgers with lots of hommus and spinach, wholegrain pasta with tvp, green smoothies with soy yogurt...protein pancakes with pea protein and almond milk. So much good food packed with protein :) Hope that helps man.
