Strength training

New to strength training and bodybuilding want to do it without supplement and steroids and vegan too.
Suggestions please

Then do it without supplements and steroids, but keep track of your protein intake.
As a vegan, you still might need some dietary supplements, though. (Generally, not because of strength training.)

Seitan or vegan protein shakes are the best foods for protein. And you will need 0.8gms of protein per lean body weight in pounds. And vit b12 supplement.

@Skymnigen Thanx for your suggestion. Yes I will keep protein intake as per diet plan. With foods such spinach,panner, and some other high protein food

No supplements needed. Have you figured your estimated TDEE? Add in a calorie surplus of 250 and ensure your protein and overall calorie intake is adequate enough to support your specified training goals.

The link below provides useful links to various already designed programs..

Sleep, Eat, Lift, rinse and repeat.

So, RoxieDawn has provided you a ton of really good information. Lots and lots of prep work for you.

Supplements are exactly that.....supplements. For the average folks like you and I we do not - necessarily - need supplements. I mean, their name tells us everything. We *should* be getting our macro-nutrient and our micro-nutrient needs met from the foods that we eat. if we do not, for whatever reason, that is when we look to supplements.

As a vegan you might have a challenging time with protein.......so, consider a good pea protein powder.

Do you know what you are currently eating? Meaning, do you know how many calories you eat each day? Each week? Do you have a breakdown of proteins, carbs and fats?

How much water do you drink each day? So, eight to 10 glasses of water is a good day!

What are your goals? What program do you think that you might follow?

Whatever your goals and program, please keep in mind that mobility | flexibility is a super important part of fitness. Please consider that in your overall plan!

And, ask RoxieDawn for help!

Then start working out to get stronger. Listen to your body rest when you need, eat when you need and keep improving.
