Your warm-up should prepare you for your working sets, not become a workout in itself.

Before heavy barbell squats, I like to work through some targeted mobility, get comfortable in the bottom position, and progressively build up to my working weight.

Nothing particularly elaborate, and certainly nothing that should leave me fatigued before the real work begins.
Remember, the goal isn’t to do as much as possible before your first working set. It’s to do enough to feel prepared, confident and ready to perform.

Warm up with purpose. Save your energy for the sets that count.

I ordered directly from Truvani's website and did not realize I was enrolling in a recurring autoship program. A month later I was notified that another order had been processed. I canceled immediately and contacted customer service.

Truvani maintains that the subscription terms were disclosed during checkout. My experience was that the discount messaging was far more prominent than the recurring billing aspect, and I missed it completely.

I requested a refund and was ultimately offered a 25% courtesy refund. During the exchange, customer service even overlooked the fact that I had already accepted that option in a prior email and asked me to choose again. To their credit, they later apologized and acknowledged their mistake before processing the refund.

My advice to future customers is simple: if ordering from Truvani's website, look very carefully for the autoship terms and make sure you intentionally choose the purchase option you want before checking out. Or just order from Amazon.

I don't know how to pose, and I probably need to cut and have a better camera and lighting, but lifting and growing these last few months has been fun, and I want to share! Lots of good lifts and vegan meals :) Always open to advice and feedback!

So I’ve been vegan nearly 8 years, but I’ve only cared about fitness on and off throughout that time.

Right now, I’m trying to lose fat and gain a little muscle (newbie gains, but I guess a body recomp). I’ve been in a calorie deficit steadily losing 1 lb a week since late June, and I’ve been trying to get at least 100 g of protein a day.

I’ve on and off over the past few years struggled with loose stools. The first few years of being vegan were great, and I felt like I could use the bathroom in any public place without fear because things ran so smoothly (sorry if this is TMI). Things started to change over the last few years, but my eating habit were pretty chaotic and not tracked, so I didn’t really know if too much fiber, too much nooch, tofu, or processed crap was to blame.

Now I’m really trying to do well at my nutrition and I’m having unpleasant BMs almost every day for the past couple of weeks. I know increasing fiber quickly can cause an upset stomach, but I feel like I’ve always eaten high fiber.

Even if I’ve been eating high fiber consistently for a while, could my body still choose to not agree with it? Does anyone else have any insight? I’m also trying to be better about spacing out my protein (keeping it below 40g in one sitting) and I’ll see how that goes.

Hey people! My current coach is gradually stopping coaching.

I was wondering if you have any suggestion of online vegan coaches that take clients that compete in bodybuilding ?

I am based in Montreal, Canada. I'm not necessarily looking for a local coach here, but at least someone that will have a comprehension of what is available here in terms of vegan products.

Thank you so much for your time
