Is this old news on here?

Good find man!

Having said that I will point out that some protein is necessary for those that want to build lean muscle. But this is far less than what the muscle mags and supplement companies would have you believe...Total calories are more important than grams of protein when it comes to packing on muscle.

Spot on, that man.

Fucking awesome article. Nice and basic, no bullshit, and I think he's spot on with everything he says.

[Thomas Campbell]

He seams to I've posted a fair few recipes and stuff. We need to get him posting on here!

Just a bump to highly recommend his website, jasonferruggia.com, check it out.

I stumbled across it the other day and I really like his approach to strength training.

Edited to add: I'm not sure if he's still vegan though as he does list eggs as a food source, but then also links to plant based recipes. Either way, it's a good read.

How successful is this guy? I have another strength coach (Coach Dos) on the Vegan Athletes list and will add him if he's high profile enough.

He doesn't seem to have a problem with promoting meat, dairy and eggs to his readers, but he is a honey-eating vegetarian with raw-foodist tendencies. All his training related info is good. His e-book "muscle gaining secrets" although a lame title is a great read.

I couldn't find a hint that he's vegan on the homepage.
He advises the usual meat, fish, eggs diet for gaining.
In the article on gaining weight from a week ago he wrote he had salmon.
So, where did you read that he's vegan?

He's not vegan. I've been following his work for quite a while, since when he was with EliteFTS.

He is a LEGIT strength coach but not vegan. He went vegan for a while, wrote about it on his site and still recommends the diet to interested parties (including heavy promotion of Sun Warrior protein), but his overall recommendation for diet is "free-range, organic, blah blah blah" meat.

I purchased his "renegade recipes" e-book which is 99% vegan and use it regularly.

He's a great coach and for powerlifting and strength related training he is a far better resource than coach Dos, and one of the top resources online, vegan or not. His blog is one of two strength blogs I read religiously and I can't recommend his training advice highly enough. This and this are two one of my favorite of his posts. You should browse around his site for a while--tons of good shit.

Does anyone have any of his e-books?
