First cycle as a vegetarian

[Devika]

If that's her as in her avi, which I hope it is, she looks like a Smith machine 1x a week squatter

Lol. I rather be dead than be caught squatting with those things But yea, I'm not squatting 3x yet. Once I start my cycle I'm gonna give it a shot. My legs take so damn long to recover.

I would like to go vegetarian but I don't know how to gain the muscle I want on a veg diet. I eat mostly fish, eggs, whey, Seitan, beans, greek yogurt and a beef filet (local) on occasion.

There are plenty of other sources for protein. I eat, tofu, beans, lentils, garbanzos, oatmeal, quinoa, brown rice, broccoli, spinach, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, any veggies really, dark leafy greens. Fruits in the AM. Cottage cheese, Greek yogurt are also great sources of protein. Nuts, seeds, PB. Sometimes eggs, not a big fan though.
There are ways you can build muscle with a vegetarian or vegan diet. It definately takes a little more effort and the gains are a little slower but you should do whatever you feel comfortable doing. If you like to eat meat, go for it! I became vegetarian bc of moral reasons. I love animals and I don't feel comfortable with the thought of them dying so I can eat. I've been vegetarian for 2 yrs now and I've made really good gains with this lifestyle.

Your body adapts to squatting 3x a week and you will get your best progression with it. Just don't make sure you never go to failure that's most people's problem is they go to failure and can't recover. I would do for your goals:
Day 1: squat, lay pull down, bent over rows, stiff leg deadlift, bicep curls, hammer curls, preacher or incline bench curls
Day 2 rest or recovery workout (light walk and stretch and mobility work)
Day 3 squat, bench press, incline bench, cable flys, Overhead extentions, skull crushers, tricep push downs and dips
Day 4 rest or recovery workout
Day 5 squat, over head dumbbell press or barbell press, lateral raises, face pulls, rear delt fly, deadlift and shrugs if you wanna work on traps
Day 6 rest
And repeat.

Rogerthat thank you so much for your input. I am writing down my training plan for this cycle and you have given me such good advice.
I really like this layout and I'm excited to add more squats to my routine.
I'm gonna have a bit of a hard time getting used to the rest day in between bc I'm used to working out 5-6x a week, but I know the added rest days are gonna be needed as I'll be increasing volume and weight.
I'm using the template you provided me with. The first weeks I'm gonna squat 2x a week and deadlift on day 3 instead.
If I see quick recovery I will add another day of squatting and make it 3X a week.
I'm super excited! I think I will definately see some quad and glute gains.
Thank you again!

Glad I could help! Just watch with the deadlifts you don't do too much volume as they are harder to recover from then squats. I'm sure you will love the days after the adaptation period. Make sure to take progress pics and measurements! If not for the community but for yourself so days you get discouraged or roll outa bed and aren't feeling it you can see how far the program is taking you. If you have any specific questions feel free to PM

Yes, I think I'm gonna start with deadlifts 1x a week and maybe add another day of lighter deadlifts and different variations. I gotta keep my ego in check once the gear starts to kick though. Especially in deads bc I have 3 bulging discs in my lower spine. Anyway, you're right. Deads are very taxing on the body so I'll only do them heavy once a week.

I am gonna keep a log. Already took measurements, gonna take pics tomorrow.
I'm excited for this ride
