Topic: Gallon of Milk a Day (4 Liters)

[TheRedReaper]

Mark Rippetoe advises that guys looking to bulk up big time in strength training ought drink a gallon of milk (nearly 4 liters) a day.
 
Milk is available where I live in Thailand, but it is not entirely cheap on my poor assed budget. The cost is about $5.50 in US conversion. But I'm having trouble putting on real bulk. Muscles are growing, and fast I suppose, but not fast enough. So I figured I should try this.
 
What do people think? I'll probably start in a week, after my birthday piss up, since I'm probably going to have to give up beer to afford it (f*ck fu*k fuc*)...
 
I'll post the results.

4 gallon?  I think may be nutritive, but too heavy for digestion. Probably better improve gradually from minor volumes.

That's an old school method. Just use whey protein instead

4 gallon? No, 4 LITERS
 
Protein? Why? Too much protein is just useless, isn't it?

[Andy Dick]

Obviously there is more nutritional value from milk than just whey protein.  From my studies you will get a higher amount of whey protein from whole milk, than skim or 1%, but you also get more fat.  The benefit over milk than pure whey, from a stand point of putting on mass, is the higher amount of calories in milk.  I know a few people who have done this but I never really talked to them about it.  I can if you would like.

is true, 4 litres, no 4 gallon, sorry.
But 4 litres I think may be of heavy digestion.

It's got to be better than the gallon of beer I usually drink...

Well calories is the point. And yes, Rippetoe warns there will be fat. But that's okay for me - all I care about is riasing the amount of weight I can lift. Health and appearance are second. I need to grow.
 
Milk also has a chemical in it that is supposed to help growth - aside the fact it is everything a growing mamal needs. But all Iam sure of is it will be alot easier to drink th calories I need than eat them. I am sick of eating focking rice. Seriously, it takes like an hour of non stop chewing to eat lunch. Better to just start drinking food.
 
Talk to your friends if you like.I'd be interested to hear how muc and what sort of weight they gained, plus strength increase.
