I'd have him alternating that with maybe, say... a 5-3-1 day for strength. The gallon of milk is a great idea. Old school, but nonetheless... I remember in Supertraining by Mel Siff, the squats and milk routine. 20 rep breathing squats followed by loads of milk. It was raw, but it worked. -------------- The best feeling in the world is the feeling you get after a tough set of squats after you step back from the power rack and throw up all over the floor.

im_so_skinny Posts: 6 Joined: 2005/08/13	2005/08/15, 01:36 AM another question...im takin a thing called "advant edge soy protein drink mix" to help gain mass, is that good or should i stick to the milk and eggs?

(i.e. lifting hevy objects)" "and yeah, ive been picked on at school and pushed around since im small and not strong"-even if he was ONLY looking to build mass, the strength that you gain from doing lower reps will help you build mass. Think about it... Whats going to build muscle better. 3 sets of 6 curls at 85lbs? or 3 sets of 6 curls at 100lbs? Answer seems kind of obvious, but many people neglect strength in favor of mass. Besides, if he want's to play football, hes going to need some strength. I don't see how you can post that someone "doesn't need strength". Even bodybuilders need a strength day every now and then. I was suggesting one strength day mixed with one hypertrophy day. -------------- The best feeling in the world is the feeling you get after a tough set of squats after you step back from the power rack and throw up all over the floor.

It can mess with your hormones and decrease testosterone production, along with a host of other problems. stick with whey if you want to supplement, but a gallon of milk a day is more than enough protein (128 grams). I would even go so far as saying that along with the rest of your diet, you may not even need the eggs, although it is important to eat every hour. -------------- The best feeling in the world is the feeling you get after a tough set of squats after you step back from the power rack and throw up all over the floor.
