Yes.
Lol I’m not advocating veganism for someone trying to build muscle, just saying it can be done - provided your gut can tolerate it, if you eat enough beans and grains you can grow.
Humans are NOT gorillas and were designed to be omnivorous. Eating vegan is hard for a lot of people’s guts.
If you do veganism without extra supplements (B vitamins, Creatine, omega 3 sources, extra leucine, vegan protein powders), I personally do not believe it is possible because most veggies, and beans are not complete proteins. Most are low in leucine (this is needed for mTOR/protein synthesis), and most do not have easily bioavailable nutrients. Most veggies contain fiber, which further inhibits protein absorption. One must take supplements to for veganism to be sustainable.
That dude also on a healthy dose of anabolics to force MPS.
I definitely agree with all of this.
Cheetos all day long!I definitely agree with all of this.
It’s still vegan, but not “natural”. But again, veganism isn’t natural.
Like HGP said, vegetarian would be infinitely easier with eggs and dairy on board. Barely a sacrifice. Cheese pizzas, bean burritos from Tbell, protein shakes, omelets & hashbrowns - you can be a regular fatass American comfortably as a vegetarian, never touch a veggie if you don’t wanna

I sure as **** would be loading up on pineapple and kimchi though to try to keep up with digesting all that fiberHumans are NOT gorillas and were designed to be omnivorous. Eating vegan is hard for a lot of people’s guts.
Not healthier. Healthier than the standard american diet, yes, but not healthy. Meat is healthy, meat is vitality, and all nutrients in meat are bioavailable.
I’ve watched some documentaries on Hitler and it was a big point of discussion that he was vegan, ate a ton of beans, had lots of diarrhea and major issues with flatulence. Anybody else wanna be remembered like that?
The constant farting gave him the idea to grow his infamous "filter-mustache".
Clearly didn’t work that well. He got so tired of the stench he decided to punch out.
What I saw was a series on history channel. That or not geo.
Of course you can, it's just harder and your not going to be some mass monster
There was an Indian pro they featured in Generation Iron 3 that was a vegan. He had no back but looked pretty phenomenal from the front (kinda seemed like he probably trained like a pussy). But he definitely looked the part of open weight competitor.
My question would be when did he become vegan. Lots of ppl turn vegan after the fact and act like a vegan diet got them where they are
The fact that he was born and raised in India lends itself to the notion that he was raised on a traditional Indian vegetarian diet. I worked with thousands of Indian folks who had come to America specifically to work at the last company I worked for, and a huge percent of them remained vegetarians and ate traditional foods. All of the break areas always smelled like curry at lunch time

Cows are sacred in the Hindu religion - if you practice that, you’re a vegetarian.
Actually many Hindus eat chicken, pork, mutton, fish, eggs etc. They just won't eat beef.
That’s not strict traditional, but I feel you.
