My names Martin Braniff and I have been Vegan for 4 year's now, before becoming Vegan I was Vegetarian for 10 years.
I was born in South Islington London in 1971.
My parents moved up to Manchester with me in 1973.
I did all my school education in the Greater Manchester areas.
When I was around 14 years old me and my Parents and Sister moved to Belfast in N.Ireland.
We had strong family connections there at that time.
Most of the family connections have sadly passed away since those years ago.
I lived in Belfast with my family until I was 16 years old.
When I became 16 I ventured out into the Big Wild World alone.
I had lots to do and explore.
In my young adult years I was still eating animal products.
I new at heart this was wrong I never saw an alternative or had any advice given to me.
Everyone I met eat animals I say animals as they were what I was eating, if I say Meat
the word Meat means food, so if I say meat I could be meaning any kind of food!
Then came along my Fairy Princess! a Vegetarian!
Liza helped me take my first step into the unknown world of Vegetarianism!
Just what my Body had ordered.
This was strange at first but my Mind and Body soon learned to adjust.
I lost lots of Body Fat, became Happier, Fitter, and became a whole new Person.
A few years passed and we decided to move to England.
We moved to Manchester were I grew up.
I worked endless shifts and didn't have time or energy to join a local GYM
when I first arrived.
A few years passed by, we moved house to be nearer my family.
My background in the Bodybuilding world has lead me to a Stronger, Healthier Physique.
My daily diet has become even more clean due to becoming Vegan.
Being Vegetarian for a long while was a great accomplishment too!
I found dairy products weren't compatible with me I struggled for years with them.
My Diet consists of Pea Protien, Tofu, Fruit, Veggies, few nuts lots of seeds.
I use various sites for my Products and check that the actual product on those site's are suitable for Vegans.
My Dream is to have a Vegan commuinty based in the UK, just like Veganbodybuilding.com which is based in the USA.
I then got a break and was able to join the Veladrome GYM in Manchester my very first!
It was a fairly poor GYM equipment wise but it was a start.
I spent about 2 years there and then moved myself across to Sport City Manchester when it was finished being built.
Sport City was Great! it had everything I needed.
Weights and more Weights!
I used to go there early in the mornings around 6.AM for an hour before my daily
tasks.
I learned alot there.
A few more years went by and we moved again this time to Eccles Manchester.
The reason for this move was so I could be near the OLYMPIC GYM!
I was traveling back and fourth to the OLYMPIC GYM in the Bridgewater Mill Eccles.
It was a good bit away from were we were living so we decided to move to Eccles!
Iam now just a stone throw away from the GYM!
Iam a Great Friend of the one and only Pro Bodybuilder and owner Paul George
at OLYMPIC GYM Bridgewater Mill Eccles.
VEGAN BODYBUILDING THE NATURAL WAY!
