Justin was bit by the bodybuilding bug at the age of 20 when he was still playing Collegiate Football. Since those dorm room days, Justin's passion for the sport and lifestyle has just continued to grow. He challenges himself every day to improve not only as a competitive bodybuilder himself but as a teacher and coach. He sets both short term and long term goals for himself and his clients so that they can always track their progress and ensure they are improving. What it boils down to is, Justin has just begun to tap into what he is truly capable of and continues to grow as an athlete and coach. Justin grew up playing the big three, football, baseball, and basketball in Upstate NY. This is where Justin first began utilizing the weight room as a tool to improve on the field. It was early on when he realized that training was his true passion, even more so than being on the field. After walking away from college football a few years early to pursue bodybuilding full time, Justin jumped in headfirst and participated in his first NPC contest a few months later at the age of 21. Low and behold he would end up walking away with 3 first place trophies that day and the rest is history. To date; Justin has competed 6 times, most notably placing 2nd in Lightweight at the 2016 NPC North Americans, winning the 2019 NPC Georgia State LHW and Overall title, and placing 3rd in middleweight at the 2019 NPC USA Championships. Justin won the middleweight class at 2021 NPC Nationals and is continually building his coaching career!

Phil Heath Arnold Classic Competition The Arnold Classic Competition is the second most prestigious competition in the world, behind the Mr. Olympia contest. It had many champions since it started in 1989, and Phil Heath is not one of them. Phil Heath turned pro in 2005, winning the NPC USA Championships. Winning the heavyweight class, and placing 1st in the overall got Phil his pro card. Soon after he had his pro debut in 2006, he won the Colorado Pro Championships. He also won the New York Pro Championship in the same year. Pretty impressive right? Climbing in the ranks, he decided to compete at the Arnold Classic the very next year in 2007. He fell short and took 5th place. It's pretty amazing for someone who turned pro only 2 years before to place 5th at the Arnold Classic. On the other hand, for someone who won his first two pro debuts, it could have been disappointing as well. If you know who Phil Heath is, it won’t surprise you that he was hungry for that tittle. He tried to redeem himself by taking a relatively short off season, and the very next year in 2008 he competed again.

“It's always about hard work. It's always about the diet. It's always about sacrifice and effort.”Nimai DelgadoBut where do you get your protein?I get this question a lot. Today's guest probably gets it more than anyone on Earth.A sweetheart of a guy rocking one of the world's most impressive physiques, this week's guest is an IFBB Professional Men’s Physique bodybuilder with a most unexpected twist:Nimai Delgado has never eaten meat in his entire life. Not one bite.Raised vegetarian since birth, Nimai switched to a 100% plant based unprocessed diet in 2015, motivated by a desire to live the healthiest lifestyle possible. Not long after, his bodybuilding career skyrocketed. Proving animal products unnecessary for peak fitness, Nimai is indisputable living testimony that you can indeed build tremendous strength and muscle mass without the meat and dairy products most of us have been told our whole lives are critical for health and absolutely mandatory athletic performance.Nimai's evolution into bodybuilding began as a personal mission to make friends, get fit and stay healthy. Success came swiftly. Within a year, he had won several contests, including the NPC USA Championships, earning him a spot among the IFBB professional ranks.A fresh new face making serious waves on the vegan athlete scene, Nimai has recently shifted focus from self to service — leveraging his rapidly growing profile into a global movement to teach people young and old how to gain muscle, get fit, be competitive and thrive long-term on a plant-based diet.Nimai's impressive vegan gains have graced the cover of Muscle & Fitness magazine and feature prominently in the hotly anticipated Gamechangers documentary. When he isn't killing it in the gym, he's hosting the recently launched Generation V podcast and sharing daily diet and fitness tips with his 265K Instagram followers.Perhaps you follow him on social media. Maybe you've seen him flexing in magazines. But there's so much more to Nimai than bulging biceps.Today we unpack the untold story.This is a conversation about what it was like being raised by Hare Krisha devotee parents who immigrated from Argentina. It's an open account of his experience growing up on a commune in rural south Mississippi. It's an exchange about how the bodybuilding subculture captured his interest. And it's about why he made the choice to go and stay vegan.Of course, we cover his training routines. We discuss his daily nutritional regimen. Yes, we talk protein — where he gets it and the misconceptions behind the hotly debated macro-nutrient. And because suspicion is unavoidable, I do ask him about steroids.But most of all, this is an exploration of the lesser known Nimai — the spiritual and ethical foundation beneath what he does, how he does it, and most importantly why.It was an honor to have this awesome human in the studio. It's my pleasure to share his wisdom with you today. And my hope is that our exchange will leave you not only inspired, but questioning more than a few long-held assumptions about the role of nutrition in athletic performance.To get a gander of this physical specimen, watch our entire conversation on YouTube at bit.ly/richandnimaiPeace + Plants,Listen, Watch & Subscribe See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
