ON A TYPICAL DAY, Jesse Marunde eats a dozen raw eggs, 10 cups
of oatmeal, a gallon of whole milk, a cup of peanut butter, a
buckshot-studded pheasant fried in 100 percent virgin olive oil,
two fish steaks, three cans of tuna, eight carrots, eight sugar
snap peas, seven cups of spinach, five apples, three bananas, two
kiwis, two oranges, several plates of spaghetti, three potatoes and
two 1,200-calorie weight-gainer shakes (one gulped down in the
middle of the night).
He swigs a vile-smelling brown serum, liquid glucosamine
chondroitin for large farm animals (ingredients include shark
cartilage and cat's claw powder), and he swallows 30 liver pills
plus 23 others: amino acids, calcium, multivitamins, selenium,
vitamin C, chromium picolinate, vitamin E, antioxidants,
acidophilus to aid digestion, Naproxen because he dropped a rock on
his knee and three capsules of androstene. He inhales 10 squirts of
anabolic activator, slips a Human Growth Complex pellet under his
tongue, drinks flax oil straight from the bottle, takes a Cyanotic
Vaga extract, lecithin and a dropper full of Yohimbe root syrup,
which is said to increase sexual prowess, "though that's not why I
take it.
Now he is 300 pounds (a lean 14.5 percent body fat), 6 feet 5
inches tall, and sports 19-inch biceps, unpumped. A 6-foot tape
measure is too short to circumnavigate his chest and arms.
