Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedWelcome back to The Aethix Approach podcast! This is Season 3, Episode 9, and today, we’ve got a guest who’s been throwing around heavy iron, breaking stereotypes and spreading the good word of our lord and savior Seitan for years—Vinnie Crapello! Vinnie competes in the 165 lb weight class as a drug-tested powerlifter and member of the PlantBuilt powerlifting team, with a 460 lb squat, 280 lb bench and 529 lb deadlift as his current best competition lifts. But he’s not just a powerlifter—he also has a background in CrossFit and wrestling, making him a well-rounded strength athlete that would make Macho Man Randy Savage proud. In this episode, we’re covering his athletic background, his experience at the 2024 Mr. America powerlifting competition, and his best lifts and training philosophy. We’ll also dive into the conjugate method, the difference between self-programming vs. having a coach, and what it’s like competing alongside other top vegan lifters. Of course, we’ll get into his vegan journey, his go-to plant-based foods (Boca, Beyond, or Gardein?), and even how the band Earth Crisis and other hardcore music played a role in his switch. Plus, we tackle vegan activism, how plant-based food culture has changed, and why the growth of veganism seems to be stagnant lately. And because this is The Aethix Approach, we’re diving into deeper topics too—hypermasculinity in fitness, PED use on social media, why tough guys are often the nicest, and what’s next for Vinnie. It’s a packed episode with plenty of real talk and insights, so grab your protein shake, get comfy, and let’s jump in to it with Vinnie Crapello! 🎧🔥 TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Episode preview with Vinnie 00:30 - Intro to Podcast 01:00 - Intro to Vinnie Crapello and overview of this episode 2:15 - Episode start - who is Vinnie? 6:30 - Vinnie's athletic background 11:00 - Plantbuilt and the 2024 Mr. America powerlifting competition results 15:00 - Vinnie's weight class, best numbers and programming 18:45 - General programming vs. having a coach 23:15 - Vinnie's experience with the conjugate method 30:15 - How's it been competing with Plantbuilt? 34:30 - Personalities of vegan lifters 40:30 - Why did Vinnie go vegan originally? 43:30 - Boca, Beyond and Gardein (mock meat) products, Grocery Outlet 45:45 - The band Earth Crisis and their vegan themes, setbacks in Vinnie's vegan journey originally, learning process 49:30 - Activism and being welcoming to new vegans or vegan curious 53:00 - Pointless animal based ingredients in otherwise vegan food 54:30 - difference in plant based foods and the vegan culture now vs back then 1:00:00 - Why is there a pullback in the growth of veganism lately? 1:04:00 - Impressionable youth and social media, PED use 1:08:30 - Hypermasculinity, veganism, wrestling 1:15:00 - Tough guys and big dudes who are super nice 1:17:00 - Nerds and getting jacked 1:21:30 - Vinnie's goals for the future 1:24:15 - The state of Philly, impoverished, drug use 01:27:00 - Where to find Vinnie on social media? 01:28:00 - Episode outro - COACHING: http://aethixfitness.com MERCH: http://www.aethixfitness.com/shop TRAINING PROGRAMS: http://www.aethixfitness.com/training TRUE NUTRITION - My absolute favorite, affordable, customizable vegan protein powder!

Could there one day be a Vegan Mr. Olympia? We examine the ethics and legality of steroids in the sport and the unique challenges Joe faces as a natural vegan athlete navigating this landscape. Joe shares his experiences of how people react to his vegan lifestyle, including some surprising responses to his vegan themed gym attire.

We discuss the role genetics and metabolism play in bodybuilding, the impact of extreme leanness on overall health, and how NEAT (non-exercise activity thermogenesis) changes during prep. Finally, we explore the importance of having a supportive partner during such an intense journey and how relationships can play a crucial role in achieving competitive goals.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedIn this episode, I have the pleasure of being joined by my good friend and vegan coach/powerlifter, Billy Duffy. Billy and I met a couple years ago here in New York City and quickly became friends - wish usually seems to be the case when you have two extremely niche overlapping traits including being vegan, which already narrows down about 98.5% of the global population, and being obsessed with the science of resistance training. We actually competed in our first full power powerlifting meet about a year ago now along with our other two strong vegan friends, Julien DesRoches and Brennen Motz, and that was an absolute blast. But I digress… Billy absolutely loves powerlifting and trains hard as hell and he also loves sharing the knowledge of effective strength training. In this episode, we discuss all about Billy’s training history, what led him to powerlifting, when and why he went vegan, training for strength and hypertrophy for powerlifting, the moral aspects of veganism, plant based nutrition for serious gainz (with a “z”, of course), his experience with starting and running a small, vegan protein company with his wife, Emma, and much more. I’ve witnessed first hand just how passionate Billy is about his work as a personal trainer, and I think this episode really embodies that same passion with how he shares his knowledge on the subject. You can find Billy on instagram at @soy.boy.billy. Thanks so much again to Billy for making the time to come on for this episode, and without further adu, on with the show! - COACHING: http://aethixfitness.com MERCH: http://www.aethixfitness.com/shop TRAINING PROGRAMS: http://www.aethixfitness.com/training TRUE NUTRITION - My absolute favorite, affordable, customizable vegan protein powder!

He got his undergrad in Exercise and Movement science and self-admittedly spends a huge amount of his free time immersing himself in all things bodybuilding - nutrition research, training programming, and all other aspects involved and it shows when you talk to him! Ben just recently competed in his first bodybuilding show where he earned 2nd overall in a competitive class - a massive achievement for a first timer and someone of his training age, especially. I had the pleasure of visiting Boston during that time and documenting his journey into that show so if you haven’t already, I highly recommend going over to his YouTube channel at @BenAMitchell, and checking that video out. Since then, he’s competed in several other shows and has been coaching with the VeganProteins Coaching crew so if you’re looking for coaching, make sure to check that out too. Ben and I chat all about how he found bodybuilding and why he decided to pursue it competitively, his story behind going vegan, his last bodybuilding season and how he prepped on a fully plant based diet, why he decided to end it early and the repercussions of staying contest lean for an extended period of time, his favorite vegan bodybuilding meals and much more! Ben portrays a very transparent, objective and straightforward demeanor with all of his info and I think it’s absolutely invaluable for all of us vegan fitness junkies out here. Check out Ben on his YouTube and Instagram with the same name at @BenAMitchell and show him some love. Thanks again to Ben for coming on and without further adu, on with the show!

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedIn this episode, I have the pleasure of speaking with Daniel Austin, AKA the Vegan Meathead. Daniel is a competitive, 75kg and 83kg powerlifter who holds multiple drug-tested, state records and competes along with the PlantBuilt team, the world's largest international all-vegan athletic team, as a member of their powerlifting subteam. Daniel has over a decade of experience competing in powerlifting as well as over 20 competitions to date. His best lifts in competition so far are a 469 lb squat, 315 bench press and 518 lb deadlift for a 1302 lb total in the 83kg class at a body weight of 175 lbs. One of Daniel’s driving factors behind his powerlifting endeavors is an expression of advocacy for a vegan lifestyle and to show others that it’s possible to perform at a high level on a fully plant based diet. Daniel is clearly fond of imparting his wisdom to others, as well - he previously authored his book “The Way of the Vegan Meathead” which covers all about nutrition and diet strategies for getting strong and jacked on a plant based diet. He recently also just dropped the audiobook version of his book, so make sure to go check that out on Audible and at his website veganmeathead.com . Daniel shares a ton of informative tidbits from the book and about his own personal journey from going from a skinny kid to getting strong completely on a plant based diet and I think you’ll find this episode chock full of super useful knowledge.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedToday, I have the pleasure of speaking with the vegan fitness power couple themselves, Dani Taylor and Giacomo Marchese. Dani and Giacomo have been involved in the vegan fitness space for years now and originally met through the VeganBodybuilding.com message boards around 2008 during a meet-up event. They started their joint business Vegan Proteins shortly after which was an online storefront for all kinds of vegan protein brands. Over the years, they eventually converted it to a vegan fitness coaching team as the online storefront space became more competitive and have now also started Vegan Strong, which is a similar team consisting of athletes, nutritionists, authors and coaches with a goal of educating others at events about building a strong, healthy and impressive body on a plant based diet. They also started its subsidiary called Plantbuilt, which is a collective of high level, plant based strength and physique athletes who compete at events. Dani and Giacomo truly walk-the-walk also, and have both competed at high levels in both bodybuilding and other sports themselves. Dani and Giacomo get into the details of how they met, their reasons for going vegan, what drew them to fitness and competing, how plant based foods have evolved over the years, building muscle and strength on a plant based diet, and so much more. This was a really great episode with two amazing and influential people in the vegan fitness space and I think you’ll enjoy their stories and commentary just as much as I did! Dani can be found on Instagram at @veganproteins and Giacomo can be found at @musclesbybrussels . Check out their coaching website at veganproteins.com and their vegan health and fitness collectives at veganstrong.com and plantbuilt.com . They also have a podcast called Muscles by Brussels Radio which can be found on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and more.

John was nice enough to take the time to come on to the podcast just several weeks out from competition which, for any of you who have dieted super hard before know, is a brutal period that often consists of low energy and brain fog. That being said, I have to say that it wasn’t obvious with John at all, as he got into some absolutely amazing points in this chat and I was feeling fired up and motivated right after! We get into John’s history and what inspired him to go vegetarian and vegan at a young age, how bullying can affect children years down the road, what drew him to pursuing bodybuilding, his experiences with building muscle on a plant based diet and coaching other vegan lifters, why more high level bodybuilders should consider eating plant based, government subsidies for the animal agriculture industry, and a slew of other amazing content. John is currently aiming to become the first ever vegan IFBB pro in the men’s open bodybuilding category and pave the way for a future of vegan competitors. He can be found on instagram at @TheBodybuildingVegan and for his coaching and more content, check out thebodybuildingvegan.com . I think you’ll find this episode as inspirational as I did and thanks so much again to John for taking the time to come and chat. Without further ado, on with the show!

1:25:13 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked1:25:13
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedSo this episode is going to be a bit of departure from what we’ve done before on the podcast but I think it’s a lot of fun. Eddie Baumgartner, a vegan powerlifter who was on the podcast in season 1, joins me again for this one but instead of the normal interview style that we’ve done before - we actually did a version of the hot ones challenge for this one. For those who aren’t familiar, the hot ones challenge is a challenge where celebrities are asked 10 questions and they eat a buffalo wing that gets increasingly hotter for each question - as the questions also get more heated. Eddie and I, two of your favorite celebrities, of course, did our vegan take on this. We both had a plate of five Gardein Ultimate tenders, which - side note - if you haven’t had yet, are absolutely delicious, and we picked 5 hot sauces that increase in scoville rating from 1,700 to apparently, possibly over 2.5 MILLION, although not OFFICIALLY confirmed. Needless to say, Eddie and I were goin’ through it here. After coating each tender in sauce, we went back and forth and asked each other an increasingly more complex question following the theme of controversial vegan opinions. So in our flustered, adrenaline fueled state post-bite, we’d have to answer our opinion on a controversial vegan topic which I think you guys will find very entertaining. To make things worse, we also didn’t allow ourselves any water, almond milk, or WHATEVER during the whole length of the challenge. This is one that I recommend watching in video form but if not, the audio recording alone is pretty damn entertaining, I’d say. You can find Eddie at @eddie.baumgartner on Instagram and YouTube and @theagentbaum on Twitch. Without further ado, I hope you enjoy our oncoming ridiculousness and suffering! - COACHING: http://aethixfitness.com MERCH: http://www.aethixfitness.com/shop TRAINING PROGRAMS: http://www.aethixfitness.com/training TRUE NUTRITION - My absolute favorite, affordable, customizable vegan protein powder!

Robert was the first person I personally ever heard of competing in bodybuilding as a natural athlete on a completely plant based diet and he has done SO much over the years to promote veganism and eating a healthy, sustainable plant based diet. Robert won the title of INBA Northwestern USA Natural Bodybuilding Overall Novice Champion in 2005, placed competitively in the 2006 Natural Bodybuilding World Championships and won his class in the 2009 Northwestern USA Natural Bodybuilding Championships. Robert has written several books including the New York Times Best Seller “The Plant Based Athlete” published in 2021, “Plant Based Muscle” in 2017, “Shred It” in 2014, and “Vegan Bodybuilding and Fitness” in 2010. During our chat, Robert walks us through his early life and reasons for going vegan, how he bulked up over 100 lbs on a plant based diet, the reasons people should want to go vegan, tips on getting the most out of your plant based diet as an athlete, his favorite meals and restaurants and TONS more. Robert is very knowledgeable, experienced and well-spoken which makes him an exceptional advocate for veganism and a big inspiration for me personally when I first decided to go vegan in early 2016 and to this day.
