Show notes

In this episode, I speak with Mateo Way, a vegan powerlifter and bodybuilder, about what led him to lifting and veganism, differences between bodybuilding and powerlifting training, effective diet and nutrition strategies, individual genetic differences, vegan stereotypes and much, much more. Mateo is a burly ass dude with a 529 lb squat, 365 lb bench and 627 Lb deadlift at a bodyweight of 228 lbs. He’s been vegan for 15 years in just a couple months and for the entirety of his lifting career so virtually all of his strength was built on a plant based diet. Mateo drops tons of knowledge bombs in this episode and I think it’s incredibly useful information even for a seasoned lifter. I hope you enjoy the episode as much as I enjoyed our chat!

You can find Mateo at @mateo.way or at his business account at @grit.lapidary on Instagram.
