I used to be fairly muscular and I've got the stretch marks to prove it. I haven't lifted in a few years, not since I got into adult webmastering, come to think of it. I still do some cardio occasionally to keep the corpus alive and out of the hospital, but I really need to hit the weights again. But when I was muscular, I got that way while eating a mostly normal amount of protein (maybe 90 - 120 grams/day) and I took no supplements other than some protein powder (soy protein, not whey - that shit went right through me. And no, I didn't grow man boobies or any shit like that as a result of the soy.)
My personal opinion is that these guys sucking in 400 grams of protein a day are headed for the dialysis machine at warp speed. But if they think it helps, full power to the engines Scotty.
Oh, one final note. I was never a competitive bodybuilder or anything like that, I was just doing it to get chicks.
