Joel Kirkilis no longer wanted to contribute to the suffering of animals and went vegan in his early 20’s at a time when veganism was not widely understood. He invested a lot of time researching how he could achieve his fitness goals while not contributing to animal cruelty and went on to study nutrition at university.
Joel was determined to prove he could be a successful vegan bodybuilder and is proud to have competed in 13 body building competitions, becoming the Victorian bodybuilding champion in 2009. Outside of his fitness career, Joel attends a local slaughterhouse to provide comfort to animals in their final moments.
