Gallon of Milk a Day for Gains

**jgeeme** · 04-09-2016, 02:05 AM

I've been reading about this GOMAD (gallon of milk a day) routine where it's "guaranteed" you'll put on 25 pounds in one month if you eat your typical bodybuilding meal plan and add one gallon of whole milk every day for a month. Have any of you guys tried this before and would this be something someone over 40 (almost 50 to be exact) could make some gains with?
I've read that the golden era guys drank tons of milk for their gains, but haven't heard of anyone these days relying on milk. Now I realize a certain percentage of this mass would be water and fat, but that's to be expected with any quick bulk, I assume. I'm interested in hearing others thoughts on this.

I did this in college, it was 3/4 of gallon of whole milk.

I go through about a gallon of milk and a gallon of water a day. Guess it helps. Honestly I just love milk.

Tried it also when I was in my 20s. Messed up my stomach bad. I was pounding that stuff down and it must of curdled in my stomach. Maybe if you started with 1/4 then worked your way up your body might adapt. So many other things to eat though doesn't seem worth it. I make a couple protein shakes a day with oatmeal, banana, yogurt, nuts,berries or egg yoke. Great way to get calories fast.

Yes!!! Fairlife!!! Started drinking the hell outta this stuff around November. I go with the fat free and the 2%. Don't know why but I have gotten a lot leaner since adding this to my regular daytime and post training regimen.

Exactly!!! I don't even mess with protein powders anymore for this reason. Fairlife more than takes its place.

Thanks for turning me on to that Fairlife milk. That stuff is great. I love milk plus that stuff has close to twice the protien as regular milk.
