Muscles, medals, and not a single steak - welcome to the world of Torre Washington, a pioneering vegan bodybuilder who's been breaking stereotypes and crushing protein myths since 1998. From his early days as a Seventh Day Adventist to winning his pro card in 2009, Torre shares his remarkable journey of becoming an accidental ambassador for plant-based athleticism. Discover how this former engineer transformed into a competitive bodybuilder while maintaining a strictly vegan diet, proving that peak physical performance doesn't require animal products. Torre dives deep into his training philosophy, revealing his surprisingly modest 1-2 hour daily gym sessions and his protein-packed nutrition strategy that helps him maintain his impressive physique. Go behind the scenes of his daily routine, from his favorite post-workout meals featuring Japanese sweet potatoes to his practical advice for transitioning to a plant-based lifestyle. With multiple competitions on the horizon and a book in the works, Torre continues to reshape the landscape of vegan bodybuilding while inspiring others to embrace the potential of plants.
