Why is this? They say that they drop all *supplements*: protein shakes and whatever junk that they take etc, a week out. Why?

"water retention"

So why does an isolate shake give so much water retention, yet a chicken breast don't?

You drop all things that may retain water...and supps are one of those things. You need food, as its natural....but EXTRA protein isnt neccessary at that point. You also drop tanning, extra sodium, gear (2 weeks out)

So they don't get water retention / bloating that they can cause.

Yeah, 2 WEEKS...only an idiot would take anything after that....there certainly is no benefit, and ALL steroids/GH retain water, even the water based...that said...why risk infection, or any adverse reaction that close to the show? Nothing will be of any benefit other than a diuretic (which has its own list of problems)

BBers take stuff up to the show, because they need it for their HEAD, not their body...

Dummy! The "pros" don't even use supplements. Over The Counter ones for that matter.

 I spoke to alot of IFBB Pros over my journey (oh, brother!) and I can assure you that they don't use a single supplement. None of them do. Ever.

 The secret is real food. All day, All the time.

that is not true, Bob Chick (BC) said that drugs are only the finishing touches and he sites a (Leucine, Arginine, BCAA, Pigeon Extract) mixture as his secret weapon for beating Rusty in the Masters.

and BC would never tell a lie

In other news, does anyone think it's total bullshit that the pros even take over the counter supplements?

It isn't bullshit because it's a straight fact. They don't.

 The PROS I've been around and hung around with don't bother. One pro who used to be with XYZ Nutrition Company used to get a shipment of supps from them every month and he'd bring it to the gym and give it to me and some other dudes. One time I made a shake post workout (no homo!) and he even asked me if it even tasted good (no homo!). Thy don't bother.


 Another PRO I used to train with...same thing. Never bothered. I used to go over to this person's crib and neversaw a single container, shaker cup or anything anywhere. Had a fridge full of steak and chicken breats, though.

Block has been around the block, so I can't argue with that fact, but I assume they(The Pros) use some kind of Supps in off season, at least?

Thanks. I have no reason to lie about this.

 One IFBB Pro I see around is currently OFF-SEASON preparing soon for an IFBB show in the spring, and I have never seen him pop a pill, talk about how this supplement is good or how he like taking this supplement or anything. 


 Post workout when he, myself and a couple other dudes are finished training while phags like me are carefully pouring our pre-measured mixture of whey isolate and waxy maize he is just sitting there discussing where to go eat at.

You dont need to drop steroids or gh two weeks out, suppliments yes cause the body does best with real food like Chick says, diuretics take care of any GH water.
