Vegetarian taking no supplements

[thrasher0250]

I don't even take protein - asides from an odd shake per week maybe.

Just wanted to see where ppl thought I was at and compare notes.

My workouts mainly consist of pushups, pullups and some plyometrics.

It's ok, if you're l/o I don't see why you'd need a multi anymore than an omni.

your image isn't gonna show up. it looks like you linked to it, and its on your computer- not the net, instead of attaching it. :)

yea u'll need to either have it hosted or attach it.

for hosting, u cud always go to www.imageshack.us or somewhere.

but as long as ur making gains man... if you're progressing at a moderate pace, then it's all good.
Push ups and Pull ups and close grip pull ups are great for upper body. I'm a big fan of Squats and Deadlifts for Overall... i swear deadlifts improved the hell out of my Bench press.

I do find that supplements help me out.
I take Protein shake after a workout, Creatine Monohydrate and multivitamins.

Multi vitamins aren't beneficial to anyone.

i refute that. Haven't gone through that book but my natural diet is quite low on iron and B12. Yet when i've been tested by the doctor, both of these are quite high so it has to be from the Vitamins i take.

Then you should read that book - not just about vitamins but about the diseases caused by eating animal products.

Your body keeps a 3-year supply of B12 so that's not really an issue, and unless you avoid wholegrain cereals and flours, leafy green vegetables, pulses such as lentils and kidney beans, and dried fruits, then you won't have an iron deficiency either.

Yeah, unless of course you plan to live for longer than that.

Even if you're in the "I hate Marmite" camp, I'm sure you could have one slice of bread and marmite every 3 years! Or something else that's fortified with it.

The recommendation (http://www.veganhealth.org/b12/rec) (for vegans) is to get small amounts of B12 every day. (Either at least 1.5 - 2.5 micrograms twice per day or at least 10 micrograms once per day.) Not once every 3 years.

Btw: I would agree with you that multivitamins don't appear to be of any value for certain vitamins. However, for certain other vitamins (including B12) there are proven benefits.

The OP has not returned since he posted and the location of the image under "daddies" is a bit interesting. :p
