PART 5

Now I know your going to be thinking here we go another steroid basher that’s it finished reading this ****e, well hang on for a minute let me fill in a couple of details. I have used and used many times, if people want to use then that is their given right to do so, all I am trying to point out is that it can still be done naturally if you learn how to read the signs,. If you are a gear user then it can still help you and maybe even push you further than you thought possible.
The bodybuilders of the 70`s, the golden era as it is sometimes called; really were really at the good and bad ends of the sport in that they started to push the drug side of things, but also they still had that instinct thing still hanging around from the really old timers. Which gave then a greater understanding of a lot more than we today realise. For a start a lot trained twice a day, they would after each workout go out to a steak house and eat for man and beast, then later in the day repeat this, some even training three times a day to get even more out of it. They instinctively knew this through the way they were trained by the older generation, but they had the added advantage of their newfound chemical friends. This then boosted the whole thing even further, hence you can now understand why there was such and explosion in the standard of the competitors, it was not just down to the drugs but the protein cycling that they also employed in creating not only a natural but chemical ultimate anabolic environment.

As time went on we know the rest of the story the drugs became the main priority and food and instinct sadly followed further and further respectfully behind.

I must at this stage point out that I do not condone the use of performance enhancing drugs and will not in this book be discussing cycles etc, that is a subject best left alone and for others more informed to do. What I hope to do in this book is give both the drug user and natural athletes a way of using food and training to help them reach their potentials.

You see looking back the old time bodybuilders were probably at times eating more protein than todays monsters, yet they had smaller waists, stomachs and were probably a hell of a lot healthier for they also took a smaller amount of drugs overall.

Another thing that they did was protein cycling in that they also had times when they went with very low protein intakes or even going with out it for a day or two, just as our caveman did went he couldn`t find food, to help rest the body and create a second ultimate anabolic environment through a fast/starvation call it what you want mode. It has been said time and time again that we have to stay in a positive nitrogen balance, yes? But, by who? More often than not the blokes that are pushing the products. Your hard earned muscle isn`t going to disappear over night if you miss a meal or reduce your protein intake, as the manufacturers would have you believe. All your really doing is creating extra work for your kidneys sorting out all the excess urea that is being produced and for them to find ways of getting it out of the body before it does any harm. If your using gear then maybe you can get away with a little extra but not the amounts that you are thinking.

The Bulgarians used to use and probably still do , use a lot of protein cycling in their Olympic weightlifting teams. What they do is when shooting for some maximum lifts and during a bulking stage before a big lifting meet is every week have a complete day without protein; eating only fruit. Crazy you may be thinking, but no there is method in this madness. They observed years ago that their farmers through the centuries every so often did not feed their livestock, but the livestock was still extremely healthy and well muscled (lots of meat one them). Intreged by this the coaches looked more into it and found that after the day without the protein their athletes bodies were ravenous for it and turned over more protein when it was reintroduced. They recovered quicker and grew faster from it, leading to stronger lifters in competition.

So how do you put all this together? Well as your going all out for added mass you are deliberately pushing yourself into a catabolic state through excess training. You are consuming a lot of calories during this stage to help hold onto your already gained mass. You are looking to be training twice per day at least, more if possible. After each workout you are consuming a lot of calories from protein and throughout the rest of the day reducing this slightly. Then at about 7 days in you turn it all on its head, you go an entire day without any protein what so ever, shock horror. On this day the only thing you are allowed to eat is fruit and nothing else, this will help keep your energy levels up but also cleanse your insides out, this you will obviously notice yourself. The following day you drop everything else carbohydrates etc, you have a hard strenuous workout first thing and then the gorging begins and a gorge it must be, we are not looking at a couple of chicken breasts and a couple of steaks here; no, we
