@SaRina Unfortunately, the benefits didn't stay with me. Wish it would have. But life happened and I quit and never found my way back.

Nope,never been to Venice Beach. But Dave Draper was hired by the gym I went to, so I did get to know him. One time he had me demo a piece of equirpment for doing abdominal work to some prospective customer he was giving a tour to. Really nice guy.

I came across this article about Hillary Swank and what she had to eat to get muscular for the movie Million Dollar Baby.

"My training was two and a half hours of boxing and approximately an hour and a half to two hours lifting weights every day, six days a week," Swank said. "The producers asked me to gain 10 pounds of muscle. I gained 19 pounds of muscle. I started at 110 and went to 129. And in order to do that, I had to eat 210 grams of protein a day. Now, your body can only assimilate so much protein, so I had to eat every hour and a half. So with a meal, I would drink my egg whites because I could never eat 8 to 12 egg whites in a sitting. It's just the worst thing ever. I had to drink flax oil. Flax is a really important oil for your brain and to also just keep everything moving when you're eating that much protein. It's a really important fat. Like one tablespoon of Flax oil has like 15 grams of fat in it."

Even her sleep was coordinated into her daily regimen. "The thing was, I needed nine hours of sleep a night because your muscles have to be able to rest in order to build or you actually reverse yourself. So I slept nine hours a night but I had to wake up in the night and drink protein shakes because I couldn't go that long without eating."
