Not only is it possible, but it has been done successfully for a very long time already. Some of the best muscle building programs in the world offer a vegan alternative & the results & responses are amazing. Here's what one personal trainer from Sweden had to say:

Hi!
Vince, you can´t write and say that this diet is a vegan diet, it´s a vegetarian diet. Big difference! Vegan – nothing from animal kingdom. Vegetarian – milk and egg. I have been a vegan for over 20 years and in great shape, not skinny – lots of muscles. My diet is very simple, during daytime – chlorella, hempbutter, peanutbutter, hempseeds, cashews anf other nuts, about a big spoon and one organic banana. More nuts and chlorella during afternoon and dinner is a big plate with lentils, beans, vegetables, cooked and raw. Chloella again before bedtime. Chlorella has 55-65 % easy digesed protein and I take between 50-60 grams per day. Spirulina is also good, but I think chlorella is the king of foods!
I never eat soy, it´s destroyed with gen manipulation. I´m 50 years young, 1. 93 m and weigh about 96 kg. Living in Sweden and working with inner health ( healing) and as a personal trainer, helping people with their diets, also meat eaters. Nobody should drink or eat anyting from the cow, bad food and it´s responible for a lot of sickness.
Vince, you are doing a great job and I read your stuff with great interest and learning to. I just had to correct you on this.
Best wishes

Hi Vince,
I would like to bring to your attention the Raw Vegan diet, which more and more bodybuilders are now espousing.
This is the diet that consists of all fresh plant based foods in the unheated, natural state.
Charlie Abel
Wade McNutt
Marcus Rothkranz
Richard Blackman
are examples of those who are doing this and who have had good 6-pack abs (the first two on the list are bodybuilders).
It is all about the Enzyme Nutrition and the fact that enzymes are proteins but get destroyed when heated above 118 degrees fahrenheit.
This is why the Gorilla and Elephant are so strong, but consume very very very very little actual protein….they build their muscle through eating raw foods rich in amino acids.
Keeping enzymes intact is what makes the difference.
If you made a raw vegan daily meal plan, then I think you will really create waves! "

None of these people use supplements either - they are against using any supplement

thats big yes!...as general rule, you can eat non-veg diet to grow your muscles but as time moves on level of strength training goes advance you need fast releasing and conveniency source or protein, this comes to play supplements like whey protein and you'll also need different kinds amino acids which can be found in meat/poultry and veg (legumes/nuts)...not to mention you also need a sensible amount of low glycemic complex carbs and healhty fat to grow your muscles..

Yes, it is possible. Look at goats, they eat grass all day, ask them how they grow with just grass, they have muscles, Cattle are also the same, they are fully vegetarians. You just have to work out so your muscles get destroyed and rebuilt bigger and stronger. You don't need supplements for body building.
