The second episode of The Boss Brew Podcast is released today. Available to watch on our YouTube Channel, titled ‘The Plant-Based Vegan King Teaches How to Diet and Workout to Build Muscle’.
So who’s the ‘Plant-based vegan king’? This is Pedro Negrao, a personal trainer from São Paulo, Brazil. I’ve known Pedro since 2017 when I met him through friends on one of my trips to São Paulo. I started training with him in 2022 when he kindly allowed me to join him train our friend Daniel. I’d never had a personal trainer before and had no idea what to expect. When I train on my own I’m more likely to take it easier, not push myself. Pedro does not allow that. He pushes you to your limit… and I loved it!
I trained with him for 10 weeks earlier this year and I could see a noticeable difference to my body. As Pedro explains in the podcast/video, to reach your desired body and build muscle, what you eat is crucial. That was the difference and helped me grow muscle… by eating more. This meant eating when I felt full. Fortunately, the food was delicious, made by our dear fiend Luciene. It was all vegan food and I can honestly say that each meal was delicious, which made eating seconds more manageable.
So what can you expect from this week’s podcast? Pedro shares his diet and how there’s plenty of protein in non-meat food, enabling him to build plenty of muscle. He highlights the importance of eating clean, consuming plant-based protein sources, and avoiding calorie deficits to build muscle effectively. Pedro also emphasises the need to gradually increase protein intake, focus on mobility, and master basic exercises like deadlifts and squats.
