I don't believe that you have ever actually trained like a bodybuilder before. I have.
One of my best friends is a SGT in the Marines. He tried for 4 years to go pro as a bodybuilder but enlisted when he got married to pay the bills. What I know about bodybuilding is from him.

I was 5'8" tall, weighed 182, and had about 8.5% bodyfat
Not to demean you, but I weighed 195 with 7.9% bodyfat in highschool. I know how to build muscle. With those stats it's hard to believe you were a bodybuilder. I managed to get better stats than you while working out just during sports practices and didnt even bother to gague my meals.

The bodybuilders I was talking about are those you see in magasines who go for muscle bulk, whome my friend was striving to be.

and what research have you done? do you have any first hand knowledge? what about anecdotal evidence? have you held double-blind trials?
Research by Journal of American Medicine, asking half a dozen doctors, reading on collegic sports programs, lots of reading. No first hand knowledge, the drawbacks I've read from all these made me decide it wasn't for me.
