Interview with Vegan Bodybuilder Robert Cheeke (Part 1/3)
<if you can’t see the video embedded in this post, click here>
A few months ago I got the chance to sit down with Robert Cheeke, my good friend and an accomplished vegan bodybuilder. Robert is currently super-busy working on his second documentary (“Vegan Brothers in Iron“), his first book (due out sometime soon!) and touring the country as a representative for Vega and as motivational speaker. He frequently gives talks at health/fitness festivals, universities and vegetarian/animal rights conferences.
Robert is a super-motivating guy who really walks his talk – he’s been vegan for over 15 years and in that time has gone from 120 pounder to 190+ pound bodybuilder, all using 100% plant-based nutrition. I split the interview into three different clips. I’ll post the second two in the next week or two, but wanted to share this one with you right away.
In this <10 minute clip, we discuss:
- What Robert is up to – filming, speaking, competing!
- Update on his latest competitions
- Common nutrition “pitfalls” many vegans make
- His favorite 100% plant-based protein sources
Enjoy!

Great post…completely agree that its nutrient dense foods that lead to great athletic results…not necessarily the amount of (animal based) protein you eat that counts
