> if you want strong bones and muscles, eat what strong animals like gorillas and bulls eat. This is a really silly comparison, to compare humans to animals with different genetics, digestion traits and hormones. Male gorillas have MASSIVE amounts of testosterone and minimal myostatin. Their body doesn’t break down muscle. Humans are not like this at all, and if you disagree then please show me a vegetarian body builder, or even vegetarian elite strength athletes.

Bill Pearl, 4x Mr. Olympia, is a very famous one. There are other successful bodybuilders who are vegan. Pretty trivial to google, so I'm not sure why you issued such a challenge but there ya go. "Meat is definitely not the secret to bodybuilding,” Bill Pearl later said. https://www.thebarbell.com/vegan-bodybuilder/#:~:text=Jehina%20Malik%20is%20the%20only,the%20muscle%2Dmaking%20nutritional%20staples https://www.thebarbell.com/vegan-bodybuilder/#:~:text=Jehina....

  Bill Pearl became a vegetarian at age 39, at the end of his bodybuilding career. And he ate eggs and dairy products. And he was a body builder in the 50’s and 60’s. But other than that…great example!

    I’m not defending OP, but steroids aren’t magic, you still need protein to build muscle.

You need some strength and endurance to be ultra runner, yes? https://www.adaptnetwork.com/veganadventurist/8-most-successful-vegan-runners-triathletes/ https://www.adaptnetwork.com/veganadventurist/8-most-success... https://ultra-x.co/which-ultra-runners-are-plant-based-or-vegan/ https://ultra-x.co/which-ultra-runners-are-plant-based-or-ve...

  Ultra running is not a strength sport, so I’m not sure your point here

    It was originally about "strong bones and muscles". And ultra-running is much more cool than body building ;p But if you insist. https://html.duckduckgo.com/html?q=vegan%20bodybuilders https://html.duckduckgo.com/html?q=vegan%20bodybuilders https://images.google.com/search?q=vegan+bodybuilder&tbm=isch https://images.google.com/search?q=vegan+bodybuilder&tbm=isc... https://www.peta.org/living/food/vegan-bodybuilders/ https://www.peta.org/living/food/vegan-bodybuilders/ https://www.setforset.com/blogs/news/vegan-bodybuilders https://www.setforset.com/blogs/news/vegan-bodybuilders
