Getting muscular without adding calories

OP, This is a very interesting thread but after reading this in your profile:

I am pretty sure you know the answer to your question already, but I do appreciate the dialogue this has created. I have a question for you though. In your profile picture you appear pretty ripped and those traps are freakishly huge. Have you been the king of shrugs and pulling movements or are they enhanced by Synthol? I am not trying to pass judgment one way or the other, I was just curious. Those traps look huge compared to the rest of you. Maybe it is just the camera angle. I mean no offense with my question.

I apologize, I should have looked at the other pictures first before commenting as you are more normal looking in them. But those flexed traps are huge.
