Meet the world record holder weightlifter who happens to be vegan... [View all]

Meet Patrik Baboumian, a German bodybuilder who is smashing soy-based stereotypes.
"I'm probably the most unthinkable vegan on the planet for several reasons," says Baboumian, who's built like Popeye and has broken several powerlifting world records.

His passion for bodybuilding stems from a childhood spent in Iran during the 1980s with the backdrop of war with neighboring Iraq.
