Hi I am from Torbay Devon,
I started training about 12 or 13 years ago. I weighed 10 stone then. At my biggest I was a muscular 17 stone 10lbs and could bench press 500lbs.I have placed well in a few powerlifting competions and competed in only one body building show many years ago where I placed second. I have been a vegitarian for the last 3 years. Guys at the gym laughed and said I would shink away. I didnt I dropped about 5lbs and think I looked better. I havent trained for 9 months now due to setting up a business and have now lost size. I am weighing in at just over 15 stone.
My goal now is to get up to a fairly lean 17 and a half stone as I dont want anyone thinking all vegitarians are weak!!!!

welcome grid, its funny you should mention that as only today i was at the gym, low and behold i ended up talking to another chap who is a vegetarian, we got chatting and it was very surprising what he said, but i couldnt agree more with you that just because youre a vegetarian doesnt mean to say that youre going to lose it,in fact vege b/builders are catered for just as well as ordinary guys, what are youre thoughts.
