paul had one of my mates on 5 ml of sus per day, he gave up after 2 weeks in totaly agony....
still one of the best thinkers in the sport, way ahead of his time regarding most aspects of bodybuilding...
w8m8, can u remember his steak bulk up he had that scotish bodybuilder on?
Paul had a few diets for bulking.
The one that sticks in my mind, was a diet he had many of his customers on. It involved taking in 400g of protein per day, prescribed in the form of approx three pounds of meat, plus Biohazard shakes/products.
Paul was heavilly into Salmon at this point, and would tell folks to fucking cane the stuff, pounds of it.
One of the diets he named "The Hundred Day War". It was essentially the diet component of the drug cycle with the same name... thus the regime could be prescribed to both gear users and naturals LOL
The sheer number of natural bodybuilders he had eating tons of protein [like it was going out of fashion] was comical.
One guy (natural at the time) was even getting up at 3am and poaching 12 eggs, just to get all the food in LOL. He gave up after the three months with fuck all to show for it other than loyalty points from his toilet roll vendor!
Total fucking drones, living the hardcore dream of indigestion and constipation, all because Paul told them to LOL.
When Paul's world blew up in 1999, I recall chatting to him about those around him. His opinion (now that they were of no use to him) was that they were all "jealous wankers, using me for gain".
We had a good laugh at the twats he had bilked; truth be told, Borresen hated most of those around him, so I can see his motivation. The guy was a paranoid egotist.
He did love a shot of heroin though.
Are you thinking of Simon Cohen ?
I'm concerned with Simon getting 400 g of quality protein down. I'm concerned that Simon doesn't get too fat, within the confines of that, it really doesn't matter what he does. If Simon wants a pizza, I say Simon, have a pizza. I'm more concerned that if his diet is too clean, he cannot eat enough. Also, what the hell are we going to do to clean it up? What are we going to take out if he's living on turkey breasts? My answer is, when you're trying to eat more than you need, which you have to do to get bigger, you've got to use whatever food you can eat. There's only fat, protein, and carbs, there's only fuel. So, as long as their enough protein, and we supplement his diet with 200 g of protein a day, and he eat plenty of steak, turkey, chicken, lean red meat, things like this. He's consuming some source of protein every 2.5 hours, and in between meals, he's having small protein shakes, 10-15 grams of protein. We're trying to keep a constant blood supply of all the amino acids needed for muscle growth. I start my seminars with, "Close your eyes, and imagine a sphere floating in space. It's spinning like the earth, and outside that sphere is the ocean. Running through that ocean are tubes of liquid. Well, that sphere is the muscle cell, and the ocean is the lymph that surrounds it and the tubes are the blood. To build muscle, you've got to get all the amino acids into the muscle cell. To do that, you've got to get them into the lymph, to do that you've got to get them into the blood. And to do that, you've got to get them into the stomach, and to do that you've got to them into the stomach you've got to eat. There are 22 amino acids that you should be eating every 3 hours."
You should eat lots of food, a diet rich in protein, fats, and carbs and then add supplements on top. People who replace their meals with MRP's and things, they're never going to grow. Eat the MRP as well as the meal. That's what an MRP is for, to drink with your steak and eggs. I'm going to be hit for saying this, but all my people have steak and eggs before bed every night. The reason for that is this. In the wild, when a lion eats a zebra, it doesn't only absorb 30 grams of that food, I mean, it only eats once a week. You can extrapolate this to man, we didn't eat every three hours. When we eat, we don't only absorb 30 grams, if we did, we be the size of mice. The fact is that the amount of nutrients we absorb from our food is largely dependent on the kind of food we eat. If you eat red meat and eggs, it's very slowly absorbed. You can eat 150 grams of protein in this fashion and it's going to take all night to be absorbed. That way you're covering yourself throughout the night and you always sleep deep on proteins and fats. It's natural to eat and sleep. So, all my clients will have a big steak and eggs before going to bed, that way I know their muscle cells are getting a constant infusion of amino acids throughout the night. I used to advocate that my clients wake up and eat in the middle of the night. Now I prefer to have them simply eat a high protein moderate fat meal before going to bed.
