Can a vegan reach 275 lbs? We are trying to find out, there’s only one way possible!
Week 6 into this bulk, pushing up into almost 258 lbs some days, so we’re getting closer.
Read Last Week’s blog post to see the macro changes I made last week.
Food is actually getting pushed a bit higher again, so keep reading to see how many carbs I’m eating on training days.
Week 6 Check In
Weigh In: 257.0 lbs
We’ve officially crossed the 20 lbs up milestone from my starting weight of 237.6 lbs at the beginning of this bulk on 6/30! Not bad for only 1.5 months in.
I’m checking in from another different location this week, Ali and I made our way back to Florida from Salt Lake City.

This week, I have a full pull day alongside an entire day of eating in store for you guys, so you can see what 550 grams of carbs, 370 grams of protein, and 75 grams of fat looks like on a training day.
Bulking Meals on Repeat
Most people think of Sweet Potatoes as a carb source, but I make mine The BodybuildingVegan way with 55g of protein. I use Vedge Nutrition Protein powder to create stuffed sweet potato boats, and they’re so good! Save 15% on your Vedge orders with code BODYBUILDINGVEGAN.
For the savory meals, this week I enjoyed a favorite, simple, staple meal: Say Grace shreds with veggies. Use code BODYBUILDINGVEGAN to get 10% off your Say Grace orders. This is an awesome, clean source of complete plant protein.
My homemade seitan is another simple protein source to whip up- it’s my best performing recipe video on YouTube for a reason. Try it for yourself!
Have you noticed a theme with my meals? I keep it SIMPLE. I threw together some staples for another balanced meal: chickpea pasta, vegan bacon bits, nutritional yeast, and green beans. Easy, tasty, and almost 60g plant-based protein.

Did I Make Any Changes To Drugs or Training This Week?
For this week’s updates, there are no additions to drugs, and training is staying the same. But, we are hitting some PRs. I just had a great dumbbell incline press session today! Two weeks ago, I pushed my testosterone up from 500mg a week to 750mg a week, which seems to be doing its thing.
I’m logging all of my workouts in my tracker, so you can see how I’m progressing on my lifts each week here.

I want to hear your predictions! Do you think I’ll reach my goal weight of 275 lbs? Do you think I can do it while staying relatively lean, without putting on much more body fat? Leave a comment and let me know your thoughts.
Either way, I think this is a fun challenge to prove that anyone can build muscle and strength as a vegan. Thank you for following along this bulking journey with me!
