Hey there,

My name is Alex Arnstrom (I know weird name right), and I hope you're having a great day.

A couple of years ago I first encountered the concept of a vegan diet, and I have to admit it felt very foreign to me.

I mean all my life I had been told I was dependent on animal products for my survival and for optimal health... especially for building muscle.

Now:

Due to a couple unfortunate reasons I had been struggling with ill health for more than a year which made walking up a set of stairs immensely challenging and working out quite impossible.

This meant most of my time was spent in lying position and passing the time with Netflix and ice-cream.

I had grown weak, skinny and was pretty depressed about my situation.

My ​several doctors' appointments lead nowhere - so I ​figured I would have to take the matter into my own hands.

Remembering having read something about the health benefits of a vegan diet I started researching the matter.

As the ethical argument also seemed really compelling I thought 'What the hell it can't get any worse' and decided to give it a go.

Fast forward to the present, more than two years now, and I can say that this decision has been absolutely life-changing for me.

I simply feel great (not only physically but also because I know I'm not contributing to unnecessary pain, suffering and death).

I'm also thrilled that tofu scramble entered into my life.

Now this website of mine, Vegan Liftz, was conceived out of scratching my own itch.

After I had gone vegan I was searching around for science-backed information on how to fuel my body with a plant-based diet, lift weights, look better naked, become healthier...

...and quickly it became apparent that there was no such resource online. 

As this was something that I needed, and seeing as others were probably in a similiar situation, I decided to take matters into my own hands.

My mission here is to:

  • check
    Cut through the bullshit, lies and quasi-science that permeates the fitness industry (and also some vegan groups online).
  • check
    Provide you with the best possible evidence-based and actionable advice so that you can start making those vegan muscle and strength gains and optimize your health.
  • check
    Finally, I would like to prove that it is indeed possible to build a great physique on a vegan diet.

That you need animal products for making gains or to be healthy is nonsense.

The reality is that tons of people have built amazing physiques on a vegan diet, and so can you (with the right information regarding diet, training and recovery).

With my sub-par genetics I've managed to put on roughly 24 pounds of vegan muscle, and I plan to put on many more. 

Feel free to peruse the various articles on this website, I hope you find something useful!
