And go mad diet gallon(8pints)of milk a day

What's your thoughts on the above?
Have you done it results etc...
Gomad claims that you can gain 25 lbs in month is that true is that going to be 24.5lbs of fat and 0.5 muscle

They are solid, but not magical. 25 lbs is magic. Even steroids won't do that.

Hope you're not lactose intolerant

5x5 I've heard really good things about.

I don't think GOMAD is necessary. Sure it's probably an easy-ish way of getting extra cals in if you want to do a dirty bulk (and love milk!) but I'd prefer food personally. Downsides would be the expense of eating food over drinking milk, and you'd probably feel full quicker with food.

I don't know, but anything that gives me unlimited gallons of milk sounds like it would be heaven, lol.

Haha yer seems like black magic to reach that type of gains haha but give it a go due to not being able to lift for 8 weeks so feel weak so 5x5 should help and love milk and have trouble fitting food in so drinking should be better for me will see wot happens haha

if you can't eat enough food to bulk via food then milk's an easy way to go with good overall macros. But I don't think 8 gallons is necessarily appropriate for EVERYONE - seems like an unnecessarily large amount unless you're huge/hellishly active/really really can't eat enough normal food for some bizarre reason.

myers0machine

Sorry clearly not 8gallons that's silly gomad diet gallon of milk a day (that's 8pints of milk)and indeed I want to grow so more the better all in the question doll

tameko2

Listen doll, just because you eat more doesn't mean you'll grow more muscle with it. You can only put on so much muscle per month. http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/muscle-gain/whats-my-genetic-muscular-potential.html

So, do your TDEE calculations and if 8 pints of milk EXTRA on your normal diet would be an appropriate sized bulk, go for it. I can't imagine that a gallon of milk a day is one-size-fits-all appropriate. 1 cup of whole milk is 146 calories. 1 cup of nonfat is 86. 16 cups in a gallon. so somewhere between 1376 and 2336 extra calories per DAY, doll?

Assuming that is basically ALL surplus calories, as in you eat what you maintain at already and are now adding 1376 (at least) calories per day to your diet, you're looking at roughly 10k extra calories a week. = 2.75 lbs of weight gain per week. If 'normal' gains are 2lbs/month, that means .5lbs/week of muscle and 2.25 lbs of fat gain.

There you go doll. That's the math you needed to make a decision.

I love Stronglifts 5x5 and also like milk. That being said I will never consume a gallon of milk in one day. I am in no hurry to gain a lot of weight (fat and muscle) quickly. I prefer to eat at a small surplus to gain weight slowly over time.

That being said there may be some people who could benefit from a GOMAD type diet. Such as someone who needs to bulk up quickly to play football as an Offensive Lineman and has a very limited food budget (calories from milk are inexpensive).

5x5 is a great strength building routine! I do it year round! I use that for the big three lift. Gomad sounds interesting, but I personally would not do it.

starting strength recommends GOMAD and 5x5 is basically the same programme so i don't see why not. fit it in your macros/calories though.
