You could always try the Dave Draper Tuna and Water diet. Good luck enjoying life during that time...
I lifted for 8 years and a small build sucked. My chest and arms just do not thicken out like others, a gut just grows. Of course, I did it clean and half our unit was roiding to the gills. Half the countries we visited let you buy any 'medication' over the counter.
