Five Absolutely Ripped Plant-Based/Vegan Bodybuilders
People often associate building muscle and bodybuilders in general with eating meat. Luckily for us, many plant foods are packed with great sources of protein to bulk up or build lean muscle, including beans, whole grains and dark leafy greens.
I’ve come across five absolutely ripped plant-based and vegan bodybuilders that challenge the meat-eating stereotype by fueling their bodies with whole, plant-based food. Take a look below for some extra motivation in the gym, and in the kitchen!
Jon Venus

Erin Fergus
Erin Fergus is a woman on a mission to prove that muscles can be built on plants. Erin has been vegan since March 2013, which means she’s been vegan the entire time she’s been bodybuilding! She became the first vegan WNBF Fit Body Pro in April 2017 and the first vegan OCB Women’s Physique Pro in May 2017. That’s two pro cards in two natural bodybuilding organizations!
