I don't talk about it much but I compete in Men's Physique roughly every 2-3 years, which is enough time to reach a new chapter in my fitness and physique progress every time. Well this time, I competed 100% as a vegan and had a completely different prep than previous years. The thing that I thought would be interesting is documenting the change that happened after 9 months of lifting post-competition.
Here's the progress that I made after the competition, you don't have to add tons of fat to gain muscle, you have to be patient and push yourself to lift heavier while in a small caloric surplus over your TDEE/maintenance calories. You can find your tdee on https://tdeecalculator.net/ then you can remove 200-400 calories from that number and you should start to lose weight at a slow pace, that's the basics of it!
I'm really enjoying being able to spread the vegan message here on Steemit and it's amazing the kind reception that it is received with! Thanks for welcoming and supporting me my friends :) Give it a upvote, comment and follow if you enjoy my posts and don't forget to follow
