im lactose intolerant, and didnt drink any milk. when i factored in the lactaid pills it was just too expensive, and even then i still got bloating and gas. warboss alex who knows much more about nutrition than i do is also no fan of milk.
i just used water in the shakes, and not much of it, theyre pretty thick. i drink a gallon of water/day already and hate pissing so much, the less liquid aside from that gallon the better.
what do you put in your shakes? i use only 50% whey powder, the other 50% comes from cottage cheese, yogurt, raw eggs, peanut butter, oatmeal and sometimes fruits.
ryan, i noticed in your other thread youre gaining weight but mostly fat. how have your workouts been going? did you follow the one I wrote out for you? are you raising the weights each workout and maintaing proper form?
you need to keep your expectations realistic. i didnt feel any bigger until about 30 pounds in. i only rteally felt bigger when i got my deadliftss to 300+, from a start of 135. at around this time back and traps started widening, which makes your shoulders look wider which is what really projects size and strength. at 350lbs i look respectable without any pump.
you also need to ask yourself why you are doing this. if youre a ntrually sociable, outgoing guy with a great socail life and lots og firls, then examine if its even worth it. i only do this because it matches my character - reclusive, unkempt, ugly 'punching bag' face, restless, territorial and competitive around other males.
to get great results quickjly, you need to be disciplined. eating heavily at regular intervals, sleeping the same, dedicating lots of time to researching how to improve workouts, keeping logs of your progress, researching and taking supplements, etc. its not easy to do this if youre out partying all the time. this has been #1 priority in my life.
keep me updated.
