How to get buff in a month without going to the gym?
You'll have to find another way to work out if you don't go to the gym. You can't get buff without working out; your muscles must be stimulated to grow and let you become more cut. Plus, you'll loose some body fat in the process and become more defined. And how you eat as you work out will make a difference in your success.
Does flax seed oil help muscle growth?
Not per se..... Flaxseed oil is popular among most weight lifters/bodybuilders because for the ones that do eat healthy because they wanna also look the part of the bodybuilder, they typically eat a lower carb diet, or lower fat diet, high in protein...it varies from individual to individual but back to the main point, flax seed oil is used because it is a very healthy fat comprised mainly of Omega 3 fatty acids and Omega 6s as well. Supplementing omega 3s has been shown to help reduce inflammation, which could be beneficial in theory for helping muscle recover, and it's also good for burning fat believe it or not. By consuming this healthy fat, you allow your body to use it at a cellular level and burn the fat you don't need, assuming your burning enough claories through out the day. Omegas (from what I've read) have also been linked to helping focus and "mind" power sort of speak...

Why do some weightlifting people take drugs?
The most frequently used drugs for weightlifting are anabolic steroids, which are like artificial testosterone. The reason they are taken is that they increase muscular size and strength faster than would otherwise be possible. It is not so much that the drugs themselves increase muscular size and strength, it is that they allow more rapid recovery from training and, so, enhance the effects of strength training. For example, it you do strength training with sufficient intensity and are not taking drugs, a day or two later you'll experience DOMS (delayed onset muscular soreness). In order to ensure systemic (not just localized) recovery, you should wait at least another 24 hours before training again. Therefore, you may end up training intensely once every four or five days. By way of contrast, someone using steroids can train with intensity every day--or even sometimes twice a day. All things being equal, the person who can train more frequently will achieve faster results. However, there is no free lunch. For example, since anabolic steroids work only on muscles and not connective tissues (ligaments and tendons), people who use them are more likely to suffer connective tissue injuries. They actually can cause a whole host of other problems as well. That is why people use them and why it is best NOT to use them.
