Vegan Strong PlantBuilt Bodybuilding Team to Compete in Mr. America All American Sports Festival & Expo in Atlantic City

These athletes are proving the power of a plant-based lifestyle.

The Vegan Strong PlantBuilt team is making its mark in the upcoming Mr. America All American Sports Festival & Expo in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The powerhouse team is gearing up to prove the benefits of a plant-based diet.

An International Team of Plant-Based Athletes

With nearly 40 athletes hailing from both the US and international stages, the Vegan Strong PlantBuilt team is a force to be reckoned with. These dedicated athletes are primed to showcase their skills across five distinct sports: powerlifting, bodybuilding, CrossFit, strongman, and kettlebell sport. This eclectic mix highlights the versatility and potential of plant-based eating, challenging the notion that strength comes solely from animal sources.

The roster of the 2023 Vegan Strong PlantBuilt team reads like a roll call of international excellence. From the reigning Mr. America world record-holder for bench press to France’s strongest woman, these athletes have crossed borders to demonstrate the worldwide impact of the vegan athletic movement. Hailing from countries such as Australia, Norway, France, and Canada, they exemplify the boundless reach of a plant-based lifestyle.

Giacomo Marchese, the founder of the PlantBuilt team, shared,

“Accomplishing elite levels of strength, health, and wellness is an extension of our compassion for life. Our lifestyle requires physical effort beyond our normal capacity, proper nutrition, rest, and mental well-being. None of these require the destruction of animals. As a collective, we live, train, compete, and educate in our communities, showing the success of compassionate veganism.”
