Get Inspired with Vegan Bodybuilder Robert Cheeke on NMA Radio
When Ben and I sat down to talk about possible guests for the No Meat Athlete podcast, there was absolutely no question as to who should be the first.
To call either of us bodybuilders would be an insult to the entire sport. And yet both of us are ardent fans of Robert Cheeke.
So why a vegan bodybuilder for our first guest, when for so long this website has focused largely on running?
Consider it a testament to Robert’s captivating personality and infectious enthusiasm for veganism and fitness.
Simply put: Hearing Robert Cheeke speak makes us proud to be vegan athletes and inspires us to do it better. We think you’ll agree, and that’s why we’re thrilled to have had Robert as No Meat Athlete Radio’s first guest.
In this episode we talk to Robert about:
- What drove him to become a vegan bodybuilder when he was the smallest kid in his 4th grade class
- How he stays so overwhelmingly positive as an advocate for a movement that so many people still disagree with
- How to find the time to stay healthy, even with a hectic schedule
- The unlikely sources from which Robert draws inspiration (seriously, Will Smith?)
- What it’s like to be part of the Forks Over Knives movement which is changing the way the world eats
We’ve also got a special giveaway today, courtesy of Robert! See details at the end of this post.
