I seen old friend the other day,first time in about 5 years,the dude was huge.Last time I seen him he was a slim 185 at 6'1 now he is pushing 235lb and it's not fat!I was like omg you on roids or something?,how the hell?,tell me what you've been doing.He told me compound movements,heavy wieght, eating around 4200 cals a day.I said hell thats what i've been doing the last 2 years.I ask him what supplements he was taking,just one Hemp Seeds for protien.
He said in the first few years of his training he was consuming about 2 tubs of whey a week and started having intestinal problems.He went to his doctor and he told him to cut out the whey and start using hemp seed for a protien supplement.He said his doctor was a bodybuilder too and was pretty damn big.
After using hemp seed for a while his muscle gains just sky rocketed.To me it looks like his bone are bigger too.Like on his face his bone stucture seems to have thickend almost like a caveman.He told me to get pure seed form or go for the powder and not to waste time with the oil.He said there is a flour form to make bread and cookies and stuff with too.
Has anyone here ever used hemp seed for bodybuilding?If so what is your opinion of it?I never asked him but do get high from it?

Hemp's similarities to cannabis are pure propaganda. The cotton growers' lobby is the organization responsible for all the restrictions on hemp in the US.
Hemp is great for you. In their natural state, they taste kind of peppery, but you can get them flavored, too in the forms of powders and bars. They taste great, and they're super high in fiber and protein.
I love them."Blessed be the Lord my rock, who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle." - Psalm 144:1
Also, taxation is theft.

Hemp protein is also available in powder... you can Google it, I am not sure if this site carries it or not.

Cannabis is a version(s) of the more general term hemp. And it's not only cotton spinners that are interested in exaggerating the linkage. Chemical companies that provide products that enable the process of wood pulp to paper also have an interest, as do alcohol and other drug manufacturers (legal prescription and over-the-counter).
However, I think your friend is committing an error of omission to explain his transformation, which is VERY common and understandable.
a. he doesn't want to incriminate himself
b. If your ego is wrapped up in your physicality, why share what you're doing so that everyone else can make you seem less special by copying it?Time To Re-Schedule

Sounds like he's using GH. It isn't the hemp protein, I can tell you that. Hemp protein is a good plant based protein that is high in Leucine but I still prefer milk proteins. I use hemp seed oil everyday as part of my healthy fat intake. It has a great fatty acid profile. I have not noticed any face growth from it however. Industrial hemp strains contain only trace amounts of THC so no, it won't get you high.

He probably is on something but still his source of protein interests me.Like maybe turkey club on hemp seed bread
From what I've read it sounds like there is alot of benefits from it for a bodybuilder.I think I'm going to order some and see what it does for me for the year of 09.Lift heavy to be a heavyweight - Lift light to be a lightwieght.

I LIVE on the Nature's Place HempPlus granola. It might as well be a food group for me. I am sooooooooo counting down until Wednesday AM & a BIG bag of that from my coop's bulk bin and the *sigh* grazing all the drive home!

That's the way to go!
here in middle east, whole hemp seed is very well-known to make birds strong by gaining weight and fattering. and most birds love these seeds, they eat it wildly.
the same goes with humans, I eat it everyday and it had made me feel greater in last 2 months, I eat it whole, make hemp-milk too and its so good
