Yeah alot of big bodybuilders are known/rumored to be taking heavy ammounts of cocaine. This is because they want a VERY LOW FAT DIET.

A diet which would be seriosly unhealthy and somewhat dangerous. They do this for an exteremly low body fat %. An average body builder would be looking at around 3-6% body fat and the average is around 10%.

The protein shakes would be for the protein and the energy, but protein is still vital for body growth and repair, they can't rely just on steroids :P

But yes, sadly if you want to become known as a big bodybuilder there is alot of risks and drugs you need to take in order to reach the "perfect size"

Good man :P Chicken is lean meat so it's just pure protein :)

Anyone know where I can buy protein shakes or bars? I just want to try it out thats all. :)

Do you think they'll sell them in Sainsburies ? haha

Try Argos but they really won't do anything but get you fat :P

I sorta need to bulk up but I saw all these supplements that were like 20 quid for a tub, kinda expensive when you're at college without a job :P

Any other ideas about bulking up? I wanna gain a bit of weight, but not turn fat of course :P

Weights my friend, weights :)

It's hard to gain weight when you have such a fast metabolism :( Weights don't really do that much for me, perhaps I'm not getting enough protein though.

You can slow your metabolism by gaining weight as in fat.
