Here is a Misc.Fitness.Weights post, by the man himself, about DNP:
"This is a reply that will hopefully
instill an interesting thread spun
out of a frivilous subject.
I work out that the Gold's in Vista.
When I returned from NJ I was
weighing 216 with a 35" waist.
I started on a mildly restricted diet,
with 20 minutes of aerobics 3X a
week, and 2-3 days a week of 200mg
DNP, and with Adipo-Kinetix 2X
a day. Within 7 days I was down to
204, with a waist of 33".
The only steroids I've taken over
the several months has been TE,
usually alternating 100mg one week,
200mg the next. I do use Propecia.
I truly feel that most of the weight I've
gained (in muscle) has because of
some kind of unexplained anabolic
rebound from ceasing DNP. I do
have research showing that DNP
causes an exercise-like stress in the
muscle. I've found that if you limit
your training while on DNP (I use
a day on, two day off schedule) you
can get these rebound muscle gains.
But it's very easy to overtrain on DNP.
I usually do 3 sets per exercise: 2 sets
of 12 reps (not to failure) and the last set
of 5-6 reps (failure). In all candor, I have
gotten more size this way than when I
used a lot of steroids, and trained almost
every day. When I was released from
prison I weighed 170 lbs.
I have not previously commented
when DNP=poison subject came up,
but I feel that DNP, in doses of 2mg/kg
can be an effective anabolic agent.
I just can't tell all the mechanisms why it
works so well."

In other posts, Duchaine stated that he also used DNP and insulin to successfully gain about 20lbs of muscle. He did not elaborate on this though.
