yes - its another question about body building
diet:
*im vegan - so intake a LOT of protein and carbs, and very little in the way of saturated fats
*i mix my proteins to cover all the amino acids (i eat quinoa a fair bit too - thats a complete protein right there
*im open to the idea of shakes for extra protein
what i am:
*despite being very slender (155lbs, 6'0 tall - so thats about 70kg there about), i am very strong for my size. Years of climbing and martial arts will do that to a lad.
*i have a very high metabolism (hence the slenderness on a 3500-4000 kcal a day diet)
*I have a fair bit of tone on me - so no need to shed excess body fat
what i want:
*i want to develop my upper body - add some muscle mass to back up the tone. I don't want to be huge per se, but just work on what i have already
what i need:
*excercises - direction on what excecises i can do at home, and what you'd recommend i'd head to the gym for
*diet advice - if theres anything you'd recommend i start intaking more of then have at it (while keeping it vegan - sorry its non-negotiable)
im not looking to get huge over night, but something i can work on on an almost daily basis (rest days of course included).
treat me as a simpleton on this one - over-explain everything (especially any particular excercises - so i can avoid injury etc while gaining maximum benifit). Go nuts.
