The First Vegan To Make The Mr.Olympia At 52 Years Old Naturally

The First Vegan To Make The Mr.Olympia At 52 Years Old Naturally

30 DAYS OUT FROM MR. OLYMPIA 2026. 🌱🏆

In this vlog, I spend the day training with Torre Washington as he prepares to make bodybuilding history at the 2026 Mr. Olympia.

At 52 years old, Torre is set to become the first vegan, all-natural bodybuilder to ever compete on the Mr. Olympia stage — and one of the oldest athletes in Olympia history.

We take you behind the scenes of his final month of prep to see what training looks like just 30 days out, how his physique is coming together, and what it means to reach the biggest stage in bodybuilding after decades of staying committed to natural bodybuilding and a plant-based lifestyle.

Torre has been vegan since 1998 and has spent years proving that building elite-level muscle, strength, and conditioning is possible without animal products or performance-enhancing drugs. Now, all of that work has led to the biggest moment of his career: Mr. Olympia 2026.

This is more than just contest prep. It’s a historic moment for vegan bodybuilding, natural bodybuilding, and anyone who believes age doesn’t have to limit what you’re capable of achieving.

Follow along as we document Torre Washington’s road to the 2026 Mr. Olympia.

🥔 POTATO LASAGNA🔥 Healthy Vegan Weight Loss Style!!

🥔 POTATO LASAGNA🔥 Healthy Vegan Weight Loss Style!!

🥔 POTATO LASAGNA
🔥 Healthy Vegan Weight Loss Style!!

Lasagna made with POTATOES instead of pasta?! 🥔😍 This one is packed with veggies, plant-based protein, and a creamy homemade cheesy sauce!

Ingredients:

🥔 Potatoes
🍄 Mushrooms
🥕 Carrots
🥒 Courgette
🧅 Onion
🎃 Butternut squash
🌱 TVP
🥣 Veggie stock
🍅 2 tins chopped tomatoes
🌿 Mixed herbs
🧄 Garlic powder
🥢 Soy sauce

For the Cheesy Sauce:

🎃 Pre-steamed butternut squash
🥣 Tofu
🫘 Lupin beans
🧀 Nutritional yeast
🧄 2 cloves garlic
🍋 Lemon juice
🧂 Salt
🥛 Soy milk
🌽 Corn flour

Method:

1️⃣ Slice the potatoes into thin rounds and boil for around 6–7 minutes. Keep them slightly undercooked so they hold their shape.

2️⃣ Blitz the mushrooms, courgette, onion, and carrots in a blender or food processor, then transfer to a pan and sauté until softened.

3️⃣ Add the TVP to a bowl with a little veggie stock and cover with hot water. Mix, cover, and leave for around 5 minutes.

4️⃣ Add the rehydrated TVP to your veggies along with 2 tins of chopped tomatoes, mixed herbs, garlic powder, and soy sauce.

5️⃣ Mix everything together and continue cooking on the heat.

6️⃣ For the cheesy sauce, blend the pre-steamed butternut squash, tofu, lupin beans, nutritional yeast, garlic, lemon juice, salt, soy milk, and corn flour until smooth and creamy.

7️⃣ Don’t worry if your cheesy sauce looks a little liquidy — the corn flour will thicken it up as it cooks!

8️⃣ Drain the potato rounds and start building your lasagna: veggie and TVP tomato sauce, potatoes, cheesy sauce, then repeat. 🥔🍅🧀

9️⃣ Bake for around 30–45 minutes until everything is bubbling, creamy, and delicious.

A HUGE, comforting potato lasagna packed with veggies and plant-based protein — exactly the kind of satisfying food I love for volume eating! 🌱💚

Eating Vegan For The Day In Vancouver 🥐🍜🥟

Eating Vegan For The Day In Vancouver 🥐🍜🥟

Alright, this was a much requested video so I’m happy to be delivering it finally!

As always, let me know if you have any favourite spots you think I should check out (vegan or otherwise).

I’m definitely not a vegan or vegetarian as you may have gauged from watching my other videos but I by no means mind skipping animal proteins. Some of my favourites dishes are vegetarian or vegan and I think it can actually be very challenging to make delicious food under more strict ingredient restrictions, as chefs do when they cook vegan.

Please enjoy as I challenge myself to eat vegan for the day — breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Where should I have gone for a vegan dessert??

Here is my Vancouver Guardian article on To Live For:

Plant-Based Indulgences: To Live For

And here is the article I wrote about Wild Thing:

Wild Thing: Two Culinary Siblings in Different Dining Neighbourhoods

this is a bit of a strange week in terms of grocery shopping because half my budget went to rice and a peanut butter pie, but fortunately we will still eat super well with what we already have supplemented with a few fresh fruits and veggies 🙂

Go Vegan 🌱 #animaux #vegan

Go Vegan 🌱 #animaux #vegan

Go vegan 🌱 À 6 mois, les veaux mâles et parfois femelles sont envoyés à l’abattoir. Parce qu’ils ne produisent pas de lait (mâles) ou en cas de surplus (femelles).

Les femelles qui sont gardées seront inséminées chaque année pour produire du lait avant d’être elles aussi abattues, vers 5-6 ans.

L’industrie du lait EST l’industrie de la viande.

Go vegan 🌱

Authentic Sicilian Caponata #soyboy #cooking #veganrecipes #plantbased #food #recipe #vegan #sicily

Authentic Sicilian Caponata #soyboy #cooking #veganrecipes #plantbased #food #recipe #vegan #sicily

A Sicilian classic made with fried eggplant, tomatoes, celery, olives and capers, finished with the traditional sweet-and-sour balance of red wine vinegar and sugar. Serve it at room temperature with toasted bread — and it tastes even better the next day.

Ingredients

* 1 kg eggplant, cut into cubes
* 2 celery stalks, chopped
* 1 large or 2 medium onions, finely chopped
* 200 g passata rustica
* 100 g green olives, pitted
* 30 g capers, drained and rinsed
* 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
* 2 tbsp sugar
* Extra virgin olive oil
* Salt
* Black pepper
* Fresh parsley, to finish

Method

Salt the eggplant and leave it in a colander for 30–45 minutes. Rinse, pat very dry with paper towels, then fry in hot oil until deeply golden. Transfer to paper towels to drain.

Blanch the celery in salted boiling water for 3–4 minutes, then drain.

Sauté the onion in a large pan until soft. Add the celery and cook for another 2–3 minutes, then add the tomatoes and simmer for about 10 minutes.

Add the olives, capers, and cook for another 5 minutes.

Mix the red wine vinegar with the sugar, pour it into the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes. Add the fried eggplant and gently fold everything together without breaking up the pieces.

Finish with fresh parsley and let the caponata cool before serving. For the best result, refrigerate overnight and bring it back to room temperature before eating.
