53 Year Old Vegan Exercise Routine 

odinmp5 Exactly!

***** thats a really good question. i have seen vegans who are pure muscle , while others are just the oposit. i would love to know what this guys eats.

+odinmp5 probably a lot of nuts and certain types of seeds for protein and maybe protein supplements added with food, some vegans do this, not all.

The Maroon Spartan interesting. im 38 and i hope to reach 51 in a healthy manner. this helps,

I'm 19 and I hope to stay as fit and healthy for as long as possible

+Bad Daddy Vegan Thats because he is not vegan..

please explain

You cannot build muscle by just being vegan. The human body needs certain amino acids that are found only in meat. And not just for bodybuilding (or calisthenics), but for a regular day diet. For example: tryptophan is one of the 22 standard amino acids and an essential amino acid in the human diet which is found in turkey meat. Tryptophan cannot be found in vegetables. I gave you one example, you can search for more if you want :). I would encourage you to eat meat. It is true that most chicken breast is filled with chemicals and hormons, thats why it is recommended to find small farms that produce chickens the old way, or buy from bio firms. Or you could eat fish, not all fish is good though, do some research :).

Thanks for the info. I'm not qualified to respond, but there is a vegan body builder who's also a passionate animal rights activist. I've met him personally, and I'm pretty certain he's not eating any animal products. You may want to check him out. His RU-vid channel is: Vegan Gains.

+Electric Solutions every thing you said is untrue

its at 80 now!

lol. You don't know anything about their self esteem you poseur.

They are probably downvoting because they are opposed to the vegan cult.

They in constant damnation.

+Mark Blake Did switching from weights help shred your physique and make you stronger? I'm curious.

+Sylvester White ..Yes it has, especially useable strength, as well my joints feel solid.. I'm tall and lean, 6'5" and using bench press etc feels restricting for my limbs..In addition, my stamina increases.. Still developing something to challenge my calves..I have good proportionate size legs, but calf raises would number a couple of hundred for me to get a burn without weights, and that's one legged calf raises..Open for some suggestions of ways to work the calves intensely without weights..

Cool. I've gotta try that. I do standing calf raises on top of a plastic weight plate, 15lb plate. I most of the time do them both at once. Sometimes I do one at a time. I do it slow, three sets of thirty and I get a decent burn.

+Sylvester White I'm experimenting with different angles to increase weight..Today I did one leg calf raises with my back against the wall and in a parallel squat position.. That's pretty intense for me right now

That is intense. Watch those knees.

You can do it! Go for a man

How's it going?

Agreed but don't know if the cities will pay but he has great relevant communicate

Thank you Jeff. My goal as an elder in my community is to uplift. Peace.

+iCallOfDutytoyourwifeinthekitchen indeed so, genetics is a factor. Native American , Scottish and African parents and descendants. Great comment.

+iCallOfDutytoyourwifeinthekitchen His genetics are great. He has a bad knee which is why he can't put as much pressure on his legs as he would like to.

Peace Ultimate, thank you for that comment and peeping the vid.

Most people younger than him cant do half he does

Sebastian Kreassiva wrong. people who dont train cant do this.

I'm 55 and knows what it takes. Been training since the age of 15.

Hello Coolkayaker, thanks for watching and a great comment. How could so simple have such benefits. I'm an advocate for health and fitness also consciousness and knowledge of self. Balance.

receo11 yeah even for an 18 year old

Thanks for the love Remy. Do your research on all foods even if you don't eat them. The vegan diet video is on deck, we working on it.

Thank you Tom. That's a wonderful comment. I want to share something later about my vegan process.

+Anthony Alderman why don't you have your own channel? I want to subscribe. come on we all would.

Tom Framnes. Yeah I was thinking about that. He's shredded but comes across like he could do with more protein

I show his videos to the youth here in the Bronx.

+iCallOfDutytoyourwifeinthekitchen Thanks callofduty, I watch b c 's videos. He's loved here.

😂

Adam Holmes 😁

peace Scott, it was my pleasure to finally meet you. I've watch you for almost 3 years.

UHHH.....dude.. Tell us about YOUR Vegan diet. I would love to gain some muscle and if you are maintaining a 220lb weight then your diet has to have a lot of clean calories.

luvbig41 it took quite a bit of trial and error but I figured out a few key principles. -bigger meals was key for gaining/maintaining weight. u gotta watch the macros though bc most vegan protein sources (aside from protein powders) are either very high in fat or very high in carbs. but if u can keep the fat content in check u should be good to go. -creative use of protein powders is a huge help. for example, I mix it in with my almond butter with a bit of almond milk to keep it moist. I also mix it in with smoothies and my almond milk when I have cereal. -I stick to the age old strategy of 3 big meals to gain or 4-4.5 smaller meals to lose. -but a few of my staples are these: quinoa mixed with vegan chili. Amy's makes a really good organic canned chilli. ur looking at about 700-800 calories for each of these meals. -natures path flax, pumpkin seed, granola cereal with protein infused almond milk. -almond butter n jelly sandwich with protein infused almond butter. -soba noodles with chick peas and. extra firm tofu cutlets. -sweet potatoes with brown rice and hummus. -Spanish rice and beans with avocado. -steel cut oats mixed with almond butter maple syrup and cinnamon. -beyond beef tacos. and that's just a few meals. soy is just fine to consume for men and its very high in protein.

luvbig41 also I should mention I supplement with sublingual b 12 but oddly enough my levels are always high on my bloodwork with very minimal dosing (1-2× a week). I take vegetable based iron supplement m-w-f. I eat 3 kiwis a day for vitamin c, vitamin k, and other micros. I take a vegan d3 supplement 1-2× a week. and occasionally a zinc magnesium supplement 1x a week. I rely on carrots, red grapes, strawberries, blueberries, broccoli, and spinach for my veggies/fruits. they're all pretty low in calories and high in fiber. I also been taking beet root which is kinda unrelated to my vegan diet. testosterone levels are good. as are all other levels. it seems that a vegan diet will be very healthy going forward.

Dsdouble I appreciate that you replied. I will give this a try and do additional research .

personally not vegan ...but interesting info

Mragdoll Basically
