    Yup. There's really no trick, just caloric surplus. I do a half GOMAD just because I really like drinking milk with my cookies. And cake. And donuts. And..

    GOMAD = Gallon of Milk a Day (in addition to your regular meals). Courtesy of Mehdi/stronglifts.com.

    It's a strategy which is virtually guaranteed to turn you into fat toad. He claims you'll gain 25 pounds in 25 days - what he doesn't mention is that about 23-24 of those pounds will be fat.

    the right way is by eating in a small surplus and following a structured progressive lifting program. 1 meal or 60 meals a day is largely irrelevant to the end goal and personal preference

    stands for gallon of milk a day tho

    welcome. those programs focus on the compounds which are the focus of any good program of any level. Youtube the crap out of them for form and safety.

    Why does it have to be "one" ---OR--- the "other"? Why can't it be both? :-)
