QUEST TO LOOK LIKE INCREDIBLE HULK BACKFIRES

When Romario Dos Santos Alves told people he wanted the body of The Incredible Hulk, he wasn't kidding. Through a combination of hitting the iron and injecting his muscles with synthol, which is a mix of oil and alcohol, Alves was able to dramatically increase the size of his muscles; terrifying children who saw him in the streets.

Fast and simple injections for a monster-sized physique. How could anything possibly go wrong? Unfortunately for Romario and his 25" guns, all is not perfect. Apparently, there's a price to pay when you stuff your muscles like a goose being prepared for fois gras. Due to the toxins in the oil, the synthol injections led to several mental and physical health problems. Things got so bad, one doctor felt drastic steps were needed to save Romario's life.

“I remember the doctor told me that they would need to amputate both arms,” he told the Daily Mail. “They said everything in there, all my muscles, were rock.” Seems like a lot to sacrifice for a freakishly, oversized upper body.  Fortunately, doctors were able to just remove some of the “rocks” that had formed in his arms. Now if they could just remove the rocks from his head.

Eating quality food post-workout is crucial…you know, if you expect to make gains and stuff. The science on recovery is a little War-and-Peace-y in its complexity but you can boil it down to a few nutritional musts: in order to optimize your results, you need to replace the amino acids and glycogen lost during your workout.

Starting the muscle building process by increasing protein synthesis and nitrogen retention requires a quick dose of the right protein and carbohydrates. But we can’t (and shouldn’t) always rely on plain protein shakes, chicken and rice. It’s boring and an absolute affront to your flavor-deprived palate. Besides, your body prefers a wide variety of nutrient-dense foods. Try these six post-workout muscle-building meals that taste great and get results.
