This was the first competition to offer a separate division for vegan bodybuilders.
Michael Ferencski has become a big voice in began bodybuilding. He is a vegan and animal rights activist who also competes in the PNBA Men’s Bodybuilding Grand Masters category.

Last year, Arnold Schwarzenegger shared that he was currently following a plant-based diet at an 80% clip over the last five years. Schwarzenegger made it clear that he is not only following this diet plan because of his health. He is also interested in the impact that it has on the environment. He mentions that pollution is a major factor in the United States. Schwarzenegger claims that eating less meat means that less and less forests will be cleared, ultimately creating more food for animals.
