A guy in the gym where I trained back in the day told me that Hoffman used to go back to the factory after it closed and pour sugar into the mix.

;D   when i was in high school , guys would chew up to 30 tablets a day of this gluck. my favorite was the peanut butter bars one part  peanut butter, one part glue, one part sawdust and 5 drops of bob hoffman's sweat in every bar. hoffman was reputed to mix a cauldron of this stuff wearing a wife beater and using a canoe paddle.

Hoffman loved young women his whole life and this pissed off his wife so much she refused to bury him when he died.

She had him cremated and his ashes mixed in with a batch of Hoffman Hi-Proteen which was then sold to customers.

She probably thought about it. :D  I think the county buried him.  The story is told in the book Muscletown USA.
