Plantbuilt powerhouses dominate Mr America

The Vegan Strong Plantbuilt team dominated the Mr America competition, winning a total of 55 medals, including an impressive 48 gold. Records were broken in the deadlift competitions, with Jerry Stanley and Sarah Kashdan setting new world and national records. Powerlifter Nick Squires walked away with the most medals, achieving a combined weight of 771 kg. The team also excelled in strongman and kettlebell competitions, winning multiple medals in various categories.

This success showcases that plant protein can be just as effective in building muscle as animal protein, debunking the myth that a vegan diet hinders athletic performance. The founder of the Vegan Strong Plantbuilt team, Giacomo Marchese, believes that more people will realize the potential of plant-based diets in elite sports as they witness the team's success at competitions like Mr America.
