Gender:  |  Banana's I ran into an old colleague of mine the other day, and since he is a powerlifter (he went to whales as member of the dutch national team and participated in the EC), i thought it would be a good person to ask for some info. Then he gave me some info. I was almost as shocked as the first time i found out this "little" guy (that weighs less then 150 lbs.) does a 220kg (=484 lbs.) benchpress, when he told me that i should eat 5 pounds of banana's (?!?) and 2,5 pint of cottage cheese on daily bases (?!?) [ alongside with some other tips like basically just eating more, adding lots of oatmeal to my breakfast, eating as much meat, warm meals as possible and so on..]. The thing is this guy is like 5 foot tall, weighs a bit less then 150 lbs, doesn't take supplements, doesn't use any kind of AAS... ..and for a guy his height/weight he has a very dry, muscular body with no fat whatsoever, by just lifting and eating (inhumanly-) much. (he used to be skinny as hell when he was young) And did i mention he does a benchpress more then 3 times his own weight?!?!  As I said, it's an old colleague of mine; I have actually seen this guy come to work at 9 in the morning and eat like 12 sandwiches and 12 banana's before 1pm! I wonder if these are the exceptional creatures of mother nature.. or can any one make this strength and optical transformation take place with the right motivaton? Maybe it's all just a combination of consistency and lots of banana's...   : |

Gender: |  There used to be a guy at the local gym that was quite strong with his legs as I remember. He wasn't huge but he was tall and lean. Usually, I am accustomed to the stronger guys being larger in muscular size. But I guess some people break rules such as this. I keep bananas in stock at the house all the time. It's cheap nutrition.

Gender: | Yeah.. But that guy could eat anything and never gained fat.. I remember once they had put a few pie's on some occasion in the staff-area and there was a note to him saying "Please don't eat all 3 of them, the rest may want some too.." |

Seems ridiculous that this guys eats 5 lbs of bananas a day. Based off the average bananas "flesh" he would have to eat around 20 a day...not to mention the calories would be over 2,000 in just bananas. I guess it's just hard for me to believe because I'm one of those who have to deprive themselves of carbs. | |
