All kidding aside,,, an amino acid is an amino acid. It does not matter where your protein comes from just so long as you manage to get all the essential amino acids. These are reasonably attained in a vegetarian or vegan diet. What does matter is the type of fat you eat and the greater portion of animal fat is no bueno. Forgetting about the moral issues about the treatment of food product animals, one should minimize animal in the diet for increased longevity as well as athleticism.

I often wonder,,,, cows are chalk full of muscle,,, yet they eat no meat - only plants. Dang it!!!! Where does all that beef muscle come from??? They must be eating rabbits or something when we're not looking. And oh my gosh,, now I wonder,, pigs!!! Where does their muscle come from??? Corn for crying out loud??? No one is going to believe THAT for crimeny sake. And now of course you have me thinking about grain eating chickens!! Sheesh, it seems muscle can come from veg diets afterall!!!

Most instructors use 16kg for demos, I use 12kg-16kg why overly force yourself during a demo is my reasoning? Especially when you have an entire seminar to get through.

But Mike is impressive, It doesn't surprise me he would use 32's

another typical vegan:

check out "Rob Bigwood Makes A Comeback"

great job love how mike talks a bout "proper form" he doesnt get hurt.

[therapist66]

Awesome Mike. I was vegan for years, but I started taking whey protien and fish oil. But, I do my best with all the other animal by products and foods. what vegan war machine makes good sense...This is very inspirational. Thanks!

[veganwarmachine]

most vegans are thin, just like most meat-eaters are fat lethargic and dying of preventable disease. "most" does not mean "all." most vegans are unhealthy not because they abstain from animal products, but because they don't exercise and they make poor food choices, which is the same problems unhealthy meat-eaters have (which are a vast majority of the meat eating population). if you watch your diet and work out: you'll be in good shape, vegan or not. vegans are just making an ethical decision.

Mike hasn't been a vegan through all his life, as well as through all of his training life.

[mahler25]

True but I have been for around 16 years which is a pretty damn long time

[willp521]

power to the vegans!!!!! I LOVE IT!

[kwak76]

interesting when I do my presses I usually don't look up. I thought that would be bad for your back but I think leverage wise it is better.

[Circusmnkee]

I can barely do my 35lb KB i just bought. Mahler is bad A.

[tpbisdivine]

and that dude is a Vegan. it's crazy

[LinkinParkGameFan]

I thought all vegans were thin :|

[romacki]

@tpbisdivine not really i'm vegan 195lbs and terrifyingly strong - i have 4 vegan pals and they are similarly sized, a quick search online will show you crazy powerful dudes who are also vegan - search for vegan bodybuilding - there's a site with pics and bios of vegan bodybuilders i like to send people to when they want to argue about how vegan diets are unhealthy and they could not get enough protein as a vegan - if a pro athlete can thrive on a vegan diet, then surely all the puke bags can

[SGcomedy]

you'll get there. I'm up to 30+ reps with mine and ready for a second one to do doubles.

[heyheymymyyoyo]

i love mike...

[impete82]

i know vegans can get big and all, but damn, that's one vegan athlete to look up to :)

[boxer4life4]

it didn't even look like he was trying with, i believe 140 lbs, thats around my one rep max with a barbell, really strong. mahler has a big ass back to. wonder how much he deadlifts?

[di1an]

400-500lbs. Check his training log on his website.

[Ladon68]

pressing two 32k's isn't that impressive.

[jasoncscs]

except you don't have any videos of you pressing 32k's...

[Funchucks]

@jasoncscs Why would he make videos of himself doing something he doesn't consider impressive?

[h4x0lZzz]

@jasoncscs One, No Problem. Two is like wtf. :P

[MrFlyingMonkeyMan]

@Ladon68 in fairness this is a demo< he's obviosly not gunna be maxing out for a demo

[masterblair]

mike is as sweet as ever in his training.
