Vegan Activism Through Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

May 3, 2018

The most pervasive vegan stereotype is that you cannot build muscle and strength on a vegan diet. That's why vegan bodybuilding activism is our own favorite form of vegan advocacy.

It's also why we care so much about helping vegans to build muscle and get into the best shape of their lives. To date, we've helped hundreds of vegan-curious people make the transition to a compassionate fit lifestyle. And we're just getting started!

We firmly believe that the more fit vegans there are, the more people that will get interested in veganism.

And it all started 3 years ago when I found VeganBodybuilding.com, which is run by a vegan bodybuilder and vegan activist named Robert Cheeke.

This site helped me to realize that my bodybuilding aspirations as a vegan were not crazy like everyone else had been telling me.

Well, things have come full circle! This past Saturday (4/28/2018), we had the pleasure of attending the 2018 FitExpo in Philadelphia where we met some of our favorite vegan bodybuilding and fitness influencers, including Robert Cheeke!

In this podcast episode, we'll discuss our experience at the 2018 Philadelphia FitExpo and the AMAZING ripple effect that vegan bodybuilders have made for the vegan movement.
