nobody intelligent is saying that eating raw/veg doesnt provide enough protein for YOU. Its an individual thing. For me it would be terrible (I've tried I got down to the skinniest I ever got). I need 300g of animal protein a day to build muscle. And about 400g of carbs a day. And 100g fat (lots of saturated fats).

You might want to be cautious about recovery time since 5x5 is 3x week and I dunno if the nutes you gonna take in are enough for that regimen. I predict you ain't gonna build shit off nuts and soy. But go for it man. Prove me wrong and snag a 3 plates per side below parallel squat for yourself.

I don't eat any soy.

I can't tell if you're joking about saturated fats and the protein... your body can't even process that much protein. And, well... I think we all know what saturated fats aren't the best for you.

I get close to 100g's of protein a day and 200%+ vitamins/minerals (vitamin B12 and D come from multivitamins... who knows how much of that is absorbed...)

Eating raw improves recovery time for exercise and allows the body to function more efficiently (or so I've read. I'll get back to you in a little while with 1st hand experience).
 
^ Interesting. I'm curious to hear about your results once they're in.

I've been finally able to get back into running. Ran 6K on Mon, 7 on Weds, Fri and today. Did a hatha yoga class on Tues and Thurs, and will be doing another tomorrow. Let's see if I can keep this schedule up while I'm working.
 
Haven't done any formal exercise since last week but skied all weekend, which is some pretty hefty cardio right there %)
 
I will make it to spinning at 1p.
Thinking about taking the dog for a hike to the same place we went Kstoner. It rained last night so it might be messy.

ok. Best of luck.

I'm not joking btw. I eat 6-7 times a day in order to break the protein up. What makes you think just because your body cannot process 300g of protein mine cannot? :D

anyways get back to me on the lifting on a raw diet thing...I'll be curious how much strength increases you make.
 
I didn't say my body can't process 300g of protein.

And you were joking about saturated fats?
 
I'm doing 5x5 with 5 more pounds every workout (same weight for all sets). I've heard the 3x5 is better, but I've always been skinny-fat so I figured the increase in reps might help burn fat while building muscle.

I've been eating 90% raw vegetarian for a couple weeks and I feel great and have noticed a good amount of fat loss. I'd like to prove those people wrong that say eating raw/veg doesn't provide enough protein to build muscle...

We'll see in 3 months.

First of all, if you were to see results from a vegetarian diet, it would undoubtedly take more than three months, and second, just eat meat?
And also, 100g of protein is NOTHING. You need atleast 250g of protein to start seeing serious results. Just buy a whey protein powder if you haven't already.
 
DB military press 3 sets
superset pullups and tricep cable pulldowns 3 sets
BB bicep curls 1 set

was going to swim but the pool was closed. Tomorrow will be a better workout.
 
wear your mud boots! :)


IP I"m with you on the leg train today. I've grown to love leg days now though.

what's the machine which works a bit like this one:

except the track is horizontal and the peddle can swivvel to either side and the user pushed it directly behind with the pad on the chest instead of the shoulder? that thing takes the wind and sweat out of me hard.

love it:D

And you were joking about saturated fats?

no, why would I purposely put false information out there? Increasing saturated fats will increase endogenous testosterone. It will also increase vascularity by increasing BP (along with sodium). I've set some personal bests easily the day after eating 16+oz of steak the previous night. It makes me rip the fucking barbell off the floor deadlifting.

imo you're gonna need to get fuckin primal brother to make some progress with this stuff. Your lazy out of shape vegetarian body does not want to deadlift 395 pounds. It wants to lay in a pasture grazing on vegetables. LMAO.

I also consume extra saturated fats in the form of coconut oil at night before sleeping for extra calories.

you've been brainwashed that meat and saturated fats are bad for you. Poor you.

On-topic:

today is 'auxiliary' day:
1 set BB curls rest-paused
1 set hammer curls straight set
1 set DB skullcrushers rest-paused
1 set pushdowns straight set
2 sets seated calves
2 sets standing calves
2 sets decline crunches
