The "aesthetic one" trained for six days, shredding that chest and torso, and on the seventh day, he did some light cardio.

Not too much; just a little beach volleyball with a bevy of Victoria's Secret models, or some one-on-one hoops with the boys. Perhaps stopping a moment to "refeed" his exhausted frame with some greasy food. (Three burgers and a thick shake would be an ideal "cheat meal" – gorging without derailing his plan to put on four kilograms of lean bulk.)

This was the Adriatic vacation regimen of Melbourne man Dylan Djohan, one of three men who pleaded guilty to gang raping a Norwegian girl, aged 17, in Croatia last year.

The men avoided trial by paying $30,000 to the victim. The fury over that outcome has inadvertently shone a light on the strange and hyper-masculine subculture of amateur bodybuilding – of which Djohan, 23, Ashwin Kumar, 23, and Waleed Latif, 21, are all members.
