Top vegan bodybuilder Brian Turner says the bodybuilding community is starting to realize that you don’t need animal products to grow big muscles.
He made his comments during an interview with Plant Based News Co-founder, for an episode of the PBN podcast.
During the episode, the pair discussed Turner’s childhood, having chronic cystic acne, body-building, staying positive and the vegan movement.

Turner also spoke about his battle with cystic acne – and how ditching animal products helped him get rid of the condition.
