Up the Protein Intake for Enhanced Bodybuilders!

I have heard it all and done it all coming up through the pro ranks. Personally, I have done the massive protein intake of 400+g and I have gone low as 1g per lb of body weight. As bodybuilders we are not ones to ever do too little of something. Whether it is more protein, more training, or even more PEDs.
