With the success of team Plantbuilt in Austin last month we’ve been getting a lot of questions about how we train and what we eat. Well, it just so happens I did an interview with Vegan Body Revolution founder Thomas Tadlock shortly after returning home from the show, and in it we cover all my training and nutrition strategies I’ve used in the past to gain muscle mass and strength. Please see parts 1, 2, and 3 of our interview below and enjoy!
One of the things we go over is my secret to getting in plenty of quality whole food calories in – my whole food (bean) shakes. When I first posted the recipe for these as a vegan weight gainer several years ago it quickly became my most popular post by far, and still is one of the most read to this day. After this interview was released, I started receiving emails asking for more tips on making bean shakes, so I decided to write a complete blue print for designing your very own perfect meal replacement shake, and submitted it to Veganbodybuilding.com.
