Dylan Minns (@dylanminns) is a natural bodybuilder and personal trainer.

A plant based-diet has not only helped Dylan thrive with leukemia, and changed his relationship with food, but has shown him that you can build muscle just as well (or even better!) as a vegan - getting protein and other nutrients exclusively from plant-based foods - and that building muscle is about training and protein intake, not eating animals.

“One of my favourite quotes and one I try to live by is: ‘Treat others how you want to be treated.’ And that includes non-human animals!”

Reminder to everyone out there to keep pushing, keep getting after your goals, no matter how hard it is or how much you struggle. Failure is part of the process and you’ll grow from that. Just don’t give up.

Happy Friday 💪🏼 by @dylanminns

Footage from my first bodybuilding competition! 🏋🏼

10 years ago I completed a Fitness competition but have always wanted to do bodybuilding (or in this case classic physique). It’s been on my mind for years and finally in early October I discovered the @kingkongclassic and with only 6 weeks left until show day, I committed. I couldn’t be happier with that decision…

I competed in two categories in classic physique - true novice and open. Delighted to say I placed 1st in my class in true novice 🥇and came 2nd in my class for the open! I had no idea what to expect going into this, but feel over the moon about the results. I’m especially proud that I was able to accomplish this as a 100% plant based athlete 🌱

Because of the placings I’ve qualified for a national level show next year and I’m definitely leaning towards doing it again. It’s been a long time dream of mine to become a pro natural bodybuilder (or classic physique), so if I have a chance, I’m going to go for it 💪🏼

I want to thank @king_kong_wong for putting together this wonderful show, all the competitors for all the hard work they’ve put in, family and friends who came to support and my wonderful partner @darcyadam for being by my side the entire time.

Time to improve and get back at it next year! 💪🏼😉🏆
