they aren't as fun to train. When performing an exercise try
to get 3-5 sets in with 30-60 seconds rest between each
set in most cases and 60-120 seconds or more rest for larger
muscle groups especially when using heavy weight. Take a
couple of minutes rest between different exercises or muscle
groups. Try to limit workouts to 45-65 minutes + a 5-10
minute warm-up before you start the actual workout. Stay
focused on the task at hand and put concentration and
meaning into each rep, each set, each exercise and each
muscle group.
Lifestyle
You have to live the bodybuilding lifestyle to see results. This
means remembering to consume high amounts of protein
and carbs immediately after training during your post-workout
window of opportunity. It means
getting eight hours of sleep each day. It means no drinking,
smoking, or engaging in activities that will be counter
productive and hinder your ability to achieve results. It means
being goal-oriented and driven by intrinsic motivation. It takes
a lot of discipline, but I can tell you from experience that the
end result is worth the hard work and
sacrifice.

Any suggestions for vegans who wants to get into body building?
Before you begin a bodybuilding program, you should take a moment to determine what your goals are. That
answer will guide you to the specific approach to take for best results based on
your own personal challenge. Bodybuilding success takes a long time, that's just the way it is. Most of the individual
attention to detail and specific personal goal-oriented techniques are performed after a year or two of basic
beginning bodybuilding training.
My recommendation is to stick to the basics, with special attention to consistency and a sound nutritional program in
your initial building phase. There are a few important things to consider as you embark on a successful
bodybuilding journey. Do not feel at a disadvantage as a vegan, there is no need to feel inferior for any reason.
Stay positive and continue to challenge yourself from week to week.

of bodybuilding. Things to consider.... each day
consume approx 1.5 grams of protein per pound
of bodyweight.... take in around 3,500 calories
per day focusing on quality bodybuilding foods.
...drink a gallon of water or more each day...stay
consistent with your nutrition program....consume
6-10 meals per day eating every 2-3
hours....combine protein, carbs, fat, and water
with each of those meals....use supplements to
enhance nutritional balance ensuring a complete
and effective nutrition program.
Training
I'll say it all day long, consistency is key to
success. Don't skip
workouts, don't give half-efforts in the gym, and
don't neglect certain muscle groups just because
