It's about 3600 Calories to gain one pound. 1 gallon of whole milk = 2496 Calories. x7 = 17472 / 3600 = 4.85 pounds a week, or about .7 pounds a day. Seems about right considering that there are other factors such as metabolism and what else he ate.
Fun video! About 20 years ago in my early 20s I went from 160 to 215 doing GOMAD for a year as part of a bulking diet. Bench press max went from 225 to 355 in that time. Skim milk is a pretty good source of protein without the fat of whole. The sugar is still an issue. I found that my weight was inconsistent from day to day based on how much fluid and waste was in my body. You can lose a pound or two just going to the bathroom. The best way to accurately measure weight is to do it first thing in the morning after going 1 and 2. Also, those electronic body fat scales read lower when your well hydrated and higher when you're dehydrated. In all likelihood, your body fat readings dropped because you were better hydrated after drinking all that milk.
A big issue with this challenge is regular milk was used, if you can get your hands on unpasteurised raw milk you will have a much better experience. Pasteurization removes enzymes that help digestion of the milk
I did this 12 years ago for a whole month on top of starting strength it was a classic, the most difficult thing at first it to eat what you normaly eat. I started getting dishherrs somewhere week 2, but if I recall well it was by the end of week 2 that I had made the major weight gains. I gained like 20 pounds total in that month. To lose the weight you just stop drinking the milk

@@sonoftheking831I am currently doing half a gallon, of milk was doing almost full. Yes i've gained strength and weight, while maintaining my waistline. Plus i eat a lot of eggs (up to 10 eggs a day) and other meats.
In regards to feeling tired and relaxed from milk, i believe another contributor to that is the sheer volume of milk you were drinking because of blood flow diversion
@@johnreidy2804 Exact opposite is true. After a certain age you need milk for your skeleton, joints and brain function. And no, supplements don't work. And no, most people do not have discipline to get the necessary nutrients from other sources. Milk is the way to go.
Between my junior and senior year of HS I went from 165 lbs to 215 lbs top weight drinking half a gallon of organic chocolate whole milk, mass gainer and 3 9 week Creatine cycles. I still only consume whole milk when I consume milk. I think it’s way more natural and helps me recover way better than 2%
@@sethdaboss245 so obviously there was fat added because that’s literally insane to put on that much muscle in that amount of time (6-8 months) and I was bulking up to play a hybrid D-end/OLB. I would say out of the 50 lbs, and this is hard to say, but like 30-35 lbs. I went from 205 to 275 on bench, 295 to 405 on squat, and 350 to 465 deadlift. So there was definitely a lot of strength/muscle gains. Undeniably some fat gained though
Not trying to be a dick here or anything, but don’t you think that your weight gain was thanks to a growth spurt? It usually happens in that age range you mentioned and also lots of people confuse their growth spurts with the “special techniques” that they implement. Most of the time the truth is, calories are calories, it is easy to get the calories in through milk, but at the end of the day, there is nothing special about milk per say. Creatine played a bigger role in your transformation along with just your natural growth spurt in that age. Action does not always equal causation. I just wanted to say this so you don’t mislead people into thinking that milk is some magic stuff…
If the eggnogg had any alcohol in it that might have caused you being pumpless and feeling bad. With farts because of high lactose and protein it worked for me to just stick to it for some days without any lactase-pills. If your intolerance is only minor as you described your body may have adapted just as fast. Just my own experiance and nothing to generalize. Great Video, keep doing such good work! :D
i just wanna say, i love your content. you're so wholesome, just like your milk. thank you for subjecting your body to "science" for our education and entertainment.
Milk is wholesome? Are you sick? That’s revolting. Milk is literally sourced by ripping families apart. By the way baby brain, personal anecdotes are literally the antithesis of science.
I did the milk and squats program in my early 20’s. I went from 235 to 270 in 16 weeks and my squat went from 405 for 2 or 3 shaky reps to 465 for 20 solid reps. I have zero clue how much lean mass or fat mass I put on, but I put on muscle in every part of my body. Those 20 rep sets were BRUTAL.
Yeah that didn't happen. Even if you were roiding the whole way, that's the same as putting well over 300lbs on your squat, which is beyond impossible for a 16 week period
@Thijs Van Diest 20x465 calculates out to a 775 lb 1 rep max. That's an incredibly elite number that takes a very long time to reach even for the most genetically gifted individuals. It 100% didn't happen. Even more so, it's actually not possible for progression to occur that fast in less than 4 months. Old guys are notorious for just making up numbers. They don't actually remember what weights they used because they didn't write it down, and they certainly don't have any videos. They'll mentally add 10 lbs every year to whatever prs they had when they were younger, and that results in every uncle and grandpa claiming to have done some weight that beats a world record
Nice experiment, not many youtubers do things like you ! For those who love chocolate milk, you make it on your own, by combining milk and raw cocoa powder (no sugar). That stuff is good, a bit bitter but you can add sugar to your liking. Chocolate & milk are a pretty good combo post training
On my first bulking cycle I did a similar thing to gomad but I drank a half gallon of chocolate milk instead of a gallon of milk. On top of all this I was having a mass gainer, eating high carb processed food like ramen, pizza, etc, and not eating much nutritious food. Was the most awful I've felt in my entire life but it did work
For me... milk is bad. I used to drink it.. but one day I tried Lactaid and a whole cup of it and it made me make the worst longest God forsaken ever so long of a burp I've ever made in my life!! Ever since then I totally avoid drinking a lot of milk.. I might have a few sips every now and then but.. YEAH I can't drink milk dude! You're lucky homeslice who can actually try something like this. My concern but yet what entices me to love you... is that you're not afraid of the consequences ....

Yeah I actually tried this for a day and that was the day I realized I was lactose intolerant and regarding what you said about the tryptophan so that's why mothers used to give their kids warm milk to put them to sleep
Love the content!! Next video try creating your own homemade whey protein and use both the casino and whey for a week. Am challenging that it is impossible for you to complete 😅!.
Drink some orange juice etc. and may help the calcium make it's way to your bones for bone density. Vitamin K2 definitely works for that in the bloodstream.
Whole milk is 3.25% milk fat. Like how 2% milk is just 2% milk fat. Heavy whipping cream is only about 38% milk fat. I kinda want to see him do this but with a half gallon of the cream lol. (In case you were wondering, average straight out of the cow milk is from 3.3%-5% milk fat). The weight gain would be Nuts and then the shred would be Incredible the next month of working that off!
This dude could actually help u and scientific research to do these things for like 6 months straight with more controls. Maybe not the melk thing so much but like working out in different ways. The melk thing though.....I ate 3 square meals a day for 2 days. See how my body changes. Don't get me wrong this guy puts in effort and he seems like a good day and if he is inspiring others then he's awesome
scales like that have a tendency to be wrong, but on the upside, they're consistently wrong, so while the initial measurement numbers might be wrong and not DEX accurate,, the *changes* tracked over time have in my experience been pretty accurate
Milk, especially if warm, contains tryptophan and melatonin , both can make you feel calm and tired . I am 56 and have had at least a glass of whole milk a day as long as I can remember . It's actually my favorite beverage to have with steak or spaghetti , even when I eat out . But I was born in the midwest where it's more common so now that i'm on the west coast I am certainly an outlier . Though it's funny the same dudes that make fun of me for it use tons of whey powder in various products but I don't say anything .
yeah I guess this is from a research and egg causes me very bad acne otherwise I would eat them like 4 a day with yolk as it gives great energy and testerone rise.
The huge spike in cholesterol opens up the option of dramatic ER visits. Raw eggs specifically could inspire a salmonella miniseries. Great content either way.
I drink milk everyday, my favorite beverage hands down. I did GOMAD a couple of times. Will really help put on some weight but I'd suggest doing it like every other week. It's obviously not something you should do something for months on end. Also definitely do not take a multivitamin/muiltimineral the calcium you'll be getting from the milk is already too much.
I find this pretty amusing because I love dairy and drink far more than a gallon of milk a day or its equivalent in milk and yogurt. I've been doing this for nearly my whole adult life, for as long as I've been able to afford it. No I'm not fat at all. I find it really satiating, in fact.
I know this was a while ago, but if you ever try this again- When reaching for the chocolate milk, dilute it with regular milk. It will taste delicious still and you'll cut down on how much sugar you're consuming even just a little bit. I do this whenever I purchase pre-mixed chocolate milk and it really makes a difference with how I feel after. You can do the same thing with eggnog!
I don't drink a gallon of fresh milk, But drink or mix powdered milk, and eat cook with cottage cheese . Powdered milk and cottage cheese for some reason doesn't mess with my stomach. I use powdered milk and cc because is way cheaper than whey.
This is actually normal for me. I live by myself and buy 3 gallons of milk every week I go to the store. I also drink milk with spaghetti like the girl said in the video. It's actually my favorite
"But under normal circumstances of GOMAD, You share with NOOOBODY"...haha--too funny! Also, the brief interlude of your wife dancing is cool...she's got moves.
Oh man you're funny! I've been drinking a half gallon of chocolate milk(very low sugar for chocolate though) for the last six months to fuel my cycling and now lifting. Thanks for the trtophan update as I never knew and things make sense now
@@fluxision4823 hahaha I do whole white milk but i need food with it. Chocolate anywhere anytime! My chocolate is 1040 calories for 1/2 gallon. Organic single serve and no refrigeration(perfect for bike and hikes except twice the price). Unfortunately it is 1% not whole but only 8 grams sugar added instead of the awesome stuff you're probably drinking
The healthiest about this milk (if it is not ultraheated) are the enzymes, proteins and biocomunicators. ^^ But some of those also make a bit sleepy/relaxed depending on the perspective.
I have been drinking a gallon of raw milk for about a year now and I have gained 60 lbs I was 180 now I am 250 I am 6ft 4in tall and I love it I agree with a lot of what you were saying it's replacing water for me so I have to force water down now and sleep like a baby and always am relaxed. I have made tons of strength gains as well in just one year went from 135 bench to 275 for 1, 135 deadlift to 405 for 2, and front squat 315 for 5. But one thing is for sure you will look like a big soft baby man but your power will be unparallel I have noticed so I will keep it as my staple. And I am glad to see more people drinking milk it's super healthy for you and helps you so much but yeah the abs will also never show but abs aren't a sign of power so yeah great video. Also yeah chocolate milk is awful in a gallon I did that an it went horrible super fat bulk that's why I switched to raw.
@@landondees7346 It, of course, depends on the health of the animal it comes from though. You don't want to be drinking conventional homogenized milk from cows given GMO garbage feed and drugs.
Milk does has a weird way of altering your taste for it. When I was little I guzzled the stuff down, easily a couple gallons a week by myself. One day I just kind of stopped, I’m not really sure why. Now I can’t drink a straight glass of milk anymore, I don’t really like the taste of it all that much. Some part of me definitely knew about the sedative effects though, I used to have trouble sleeping as a kid and my go to was to get up and have a bowl of cereal with milk. Always put me right to sleep, but it created really bad habits for later on lol. Still have trouble with eating late at night.
Milk can be slightly addictive due to how the casein breaks down into your body into casomorphin which has slight opioid effects. Just some weird stuff i remember from a hs paper
The tiredness is actually coming from the sugar that in the milk one gallon has like 204 grams of sugar and it's called insulin resistance. You are also constantly eating and drinking which triggers the insulin everytime without rest
as someone who is lactose intolerant, i can say that the gas is most likely simply because your stomach is not used to the excessive amount of sugar (lactose) that a gallon of milk contains and it's most likely just too much to break down without the additional lactaze enzyme. If you were lactose intolerant you would know it for certain after only one glass of milk. Most lactose intolerants can stand like a few pieces of milk chocolate at most. This is the easiest to test if you can find lactose free milk and see if that changes the symptoms that the milk causes
I drank a gallon of 2% milk everyday for about 4 years (17 to 21). It was one of the cheapest ways to calories + protein when I was super broke. But milk was most of the food I consumed haha
@@durschfalltv7505 yeah pretty much I was in college at the time and working a few jobs and still training everyday. In that time span I did go from benching 135 to 405 and squating 495. Weight rooms where very different before social media haha
I have a question. How do you feel when you are leaner vs a little more body fat? I see to feel bst around the 15 percent body fat mark that gives me a slight view of my abs. When I am leaner ( around 10 to 11 percent) it seems to be harder to maintain and if I let it i will quickly go back to the set point around 185 or so. I generally eat carnivore with some fruit around workout times... Which I need when I am leaner. When I am heavier I am good with full on carnivore.
That makes a lot of sense. For an average person 15 percent is comfortably maintainable for sure. getting closer to 10 percent is harder to maintain and serves no purpose other than aesthetics and being better at calisthenics. Even 20 percent can look fine but when you go too much higher you will start to look like what people describe as fat.
I drink about 5 gallons of milk a week. Always a half gallon with dinner. Now switching over to raw buffalo milk for more nutritional value. I eat clean, mostly eggs chicken and veggies in bulk, lots of beans and hummus. My trainer tells me i don't need to worry about body fat and to keep it up. I feel and look better than i ever have. Also doing calisthenic, warrior, workouts 5 -6days a week
Is gas after 4 liters of milk lactose intolerance, or just normal? I also hit a point of too much eventually. Usually if I have like 4-5 bowls of cereal in a row. I think most people do.
I spent months drinking a half gallon to gallon of milk per day. It was great to keep up with calorie requirements. But yeah, unless you're burning 6k calories a day dont do it.
Yep. Tried to down half a gallon of 2% milk once. Let's just say it took a day for my bowels to go back to normal. I'm normally not lactose intolerant with a glass or two but as with everything, too much of one thing isn't a good thing.
I remember blasting and cruising for a year when I was 21, I not only ate a high protein/calorie diet but instead of water I was drinking milk. After one year I went from 140 to 210, literally was a monster in the gym but I was unrecognizable was retaining so much water and fat. Had an awesome cut though 🤌 hella stretch marks though.
I remember having the worst diarrhea ever during GOMAD lol That and the constant bloating and farts. That's where I realized I was getting lactose intolerant. Oh joy 😂
Your craving it because milk has short-chain opioid peptides that literally creates addiction. In cheese these compounds are even more concentrated, and that is one of the reasons that many people can't stop consuming it. Milk also increases IGF-1 significantly and that can be good and bad. In terms of hypertrophy is potentially good, it stimulates the growth of both fat tissue and muscles, but it's also been linked to various forms and growths of cancers so yeah....In general, this went pretty much as I expected it to go. Regarding the Bioimpedance machine...don't worry too much about the actual number, worry about the consistency of said number. Even if the machine adds 5% to your total body fat, it dosn't really matter if it does that consistently. All you need to care is the difference between your starting BF% and your end BF% and if the machine is consistent that value will also be consistent.
Fun and adventurous content! Thanks for being our guinea pig, and sharing your results! Secondly, if you would be so kind, please tell me why you often pronounce *the* and *a* as "thee" and "aye".... It sounds strange to my ears, and I never hear anyone use these pronunciations in everyday conversation.

Raw unpasteurized milk is much more healthy, pasteurized its just a sugarwater basically.
@@backbone93 I know, that's essentially what I just said bro
@@woden__ oh my bad i read " pasteurized"
Lol

Keep up the good work
Love your videos ❤
I did this 12 years ago for a whole month on top of starting strength it was a classic, the most difficult thing at first it to eat what you normaly eat. I started getting dishherrs somewhere week 2, but if I recall well it was by the end of week 2 that I had made the major weight gains. I gained like 20 pounds total in that month. To lose the weight you just stop drinking the milk
Did you keep the muscle and strength after you stopped? How was your bodyfat effected?
@@sonoftheking831they never answer back. I wanna know too
@@musicncmx5303 true true, I guess you can try it yourself or maybe find someone who's done it and shared the progress online. . I'm focused on getting under 200 pounds atm
probably just maintained and didn’t cut
@@sonoftheking831I am currently doing half a gallon, of milk was doing almost full. Yes i've gained strength and weight, while maintaining my waistline. Plus i eat a lot of eggs (up to 10 eggs a day) and other meats.
This is the funniest thing ever but god I hope you’re feeling okay bro😂 I’d never do this if I was you but good video in all.
In regards to feeling tired and relaxed from milk, i believe another contributor to that is the sheer volume of milk you were drinking because of blood flow diversion
That is a very smart comment. Milk does some things to your body both good and bad. In my opinion after a certain age...mostly bad
@@johnreidy2804 Exact opposite is true. After a certain age you need milk for your skeleton, joints and brain function. And no, supplements don't work. And no, most people do not have discipline to get the necessary nutrients from other sources. Milk is the way to go.
Yeah a lot of liquid of any kind will fuck with your body balance. That's why I cut back on drinking a ton and now feel more in balance.
Very epic, live these challenge videos!
Congratoltion on the 3mil subs
Between my junior and senior year of HS I went from 165 lbs to 215 lbs top weight drinking half a gallon of organic chocolate whole milk, mass gainer and 3 9 week Creatine cycles. I still only consume whole milk when I consume milk. I think it’s way more natural and helps me recover way better than 2%
How much muscle and fat?
@@sethdaboss245 probably mostly fat
@@sethdaboss245 so obviously there was fat added because that’s literally insane to put on that much muscle in that amount of time (6-8 months) and I was bulking up to play a hybrid D-end/OLB. I would say out of the 50 lbs, and this is hard to say, but like 30-35 lbs. I went from 205 to 275 on bench, 295 to 405 on squat, and 350 to 465 deadlift. So there was definitely a lot of strength/muscle gains. Undeniably some fat gained though
30-35 lbs of muscle ^
Not trying to be a dick here or anything, but don’t you think that your weight gain was thanks to a growth spurt? It usually happens in that age range you mentioned and also lots of people confuse their growth spurts with the “special techniques” that they implement. Most of the time the truth is, calories are calories, it is easy to get the calories in through milk, but at the end of the day, there is nothing special about milk per say. Creatine played a bigger role in your transformation along with just your natural growth spurt in that age. Action does not always equal causation. I just wanted to say this so you don’t mislead people into thinking that milk is some magic stuff…
Love your videos bro! Excellent narrating! Keep them coming!
Love to see another melk enjoyer
If the eggnogg had any alcohol in it that might have caused you being pumpless and feeling bad.
With farts because of high lactose and protein it worked for me to just stick to it for some days without any lactase-pills.
If your intolerance is only minor as you described your body may have adapted just as fast.
Just my own experiance and nothing to generalize.
Great Video, keep doing such good work! :D
i just wanna say, i love your content. you're so wholesome, just like your milk. thank you for subjecting your body to "science" for our education and entertainment.
Milk is wholesome?
Are you sick?
That’s revolting.
Milk is literally sourced by ripping families apart.

"Your milk" what do you mean about that?😏
@@imjonathan6745 other than the milk that he drank in the video, what do YOU think it means?
I did the milk and squats program in my early 20’s. I went from 235 to 270 in 16 weeks and my squat went from 405 for 2 or 3 shaky reps to 465 for 20 solid reps. I have zero clue how much lean mass or fat mass I put on, but I put on muscle in every part of my body. Those 20 rep sets were BRUTAL.
465x20. Seriously?
Yeah that didn't happen. Even if you were roiding the whole way, that's the same as putting well over 300lbs on your squat, which is beyond impossible for a 16 week period
@@Solonosstop crying mate, why would the old man lie
@Thijs Van Diest 20x465 calculates out to a 775 lb 1 rep max. That's an incredibly elite number that takes a very long time to reach even for the most genetically gifted individuals. It 100% didn't happen. Even more so, it's actually not possible for progression to occur that fast in less than 4 months. Old guys are notorious for just making up numbers. They don't actually remember what weights they used because they didn't write it down, and they certainly don't have any videos. They'll mentally add 10 lbs every year to whatever prs they had when they were younger, and that results in every uncle and grandpa claiming to have done some weight that beats a world record
@@Solonos since when can you translate 20 rep max to a 1 rep max... Go ask a marathon runner to beat usain bolt lmao
You can also add general digestive enzymes not only lactase . Also with gomad you can cut a lot of carb from your diet
That after taste you explained is what I always thought and I didn’t know if it was just me lol
Nice experiment, not many youtubers do things like you !
For those who love chocolate milk, you make it on your own, by combining milk and raw cocoa powder (no sugar). That stuff is good, a bit bitter but you can add sugar to your liking.
Chocolate & milk are a pretty good combo post training
On my first bulking cycle I did a similar thing to gomad but I drank a half gallon of chocolate milk instead of a gallon of milk. On top of all this I was having a mass gainer, eating high carb processed food like ramen, pizza, etc, and not eating much nutritious food. Was the most awful I've felt in my entire life but it did work
So it did work but did not since you felt bad and it was unsustainable.
I’ve been on GOMAD for two years next Monday and it’s been amazing
For me... milk is bad. I used to drink it.. but one day I tried Lactaid and a whole cup of it and it made me make the worst longest God forsaken ever so long of a burp I've ever made in my life!! Ever since then I totally avoid drinking a lot of milk.. I might have a few sips every now and then but.. YEAH I can't drink milk dude! You're lucky homeslice who can actually try something like this. My concern but yet what entices me to love you... is that you're not afraid of the consequences .... You must be a very happy person ... I wonder... You are special... Unique, Brilliant.. Don't go too extreme... Focus. Focus Focus.. Love you *backflip man.*
Yeah I actually tried this for a day and that was the day I realized I was lactose intolerant and regarding what you said about the tryptophan so that's why mothers used to give their kids warm milk to put them to sleep
Love the content!! Next video try creating your own homemade whey protein and use both the casino and whey for a week. Am challenging that it is impossible for you to complete 😅!.
This was fantastic!!! Gomad for ever!!
Drink some orange juice etc. and may help the calcium make it's way to your bones for bone density. Vitamin K2 definitely works for that in the bloodstream.
Whole milk is 3.25% milk fat. Like how 2% milk is just 2% milk fat. Heavy whipping cream is only about 38% milk fat. I kinda want to see him do this but with a half gallon of the cream lol. (In case you were wondering, average straight out of the cow milk is from 3.3%-5% milk fat). The weight gain would be Nuts and then the shred would be Incredible the next month of working that off!
Sounds like a good way to get constant diarrhoea
This dude could actually help u and scientific research to do these things for like 6 months straight with more controls. Maybe not the melk thing so much but like working out in different ways. The melk thing though.....I ate 3 square meals a day for 2 days. See how my body changes. Don't get me wrong this guy puts in effort and he seems like a good day and if he is inspiring others then he's awesome
scales like that have a tendency to be wrong, but on the upside, they're consistently wrong, so while the initial measurement numbers might be wrong and not DEX accurate,, the *changes* tracked over time have in my experience been pretty accurate
0:28 I like your reindeer Christmas jammies trousers and also cool video pigmie
Milk, especially if warm, contains tryptophan and melatonin , both can make you feel calm and tired . I am 56 and have had at least a glass of whole milk a day as long as I can remember . It's actually my favorite beverage to have with steak or spaghetti , even when I eat out . But I was born in the midwest where it's more common so now that i'm on the west coast I am certainly an outlier . Though it's funny the same dudes that make fun of me for it use tons of whey powder in various products but I don't say anything .
keep rocking the milk brother! Midwest gangggg
I want to see the old school bodybuilding diet of "36 raw eggs a day". Lore says that it has the same effect as anabolic steroids.

@@michaelromano3804 😂
@@michaelromano3804 lmao
definitely not raw eggs, eating that many raw eggs will give you a massive biotin deficiency that will fuck you up real good
The huge spike in cholesterol opens up the option of dramatic ER visits. Raw eggs specifically could inspire a salmonella miniseries. Great content either way.

@@Shawnn_11Hey brother,
are you trying to grow taller ?
@@Shawnn_11 I see,
chocolate milk is a good way to gain weight,
my dear brother.
I drink milk everyday, my favorite beverage hands down. I did GOMAD a couple of times. Will really help put on some weight but I'd suggest doing it like every other week. It's obviously not something you should do something for months on end. Also definitely do not take a multivitamin/muiltimineral the calcium you'll be getting from the milk is already too much.
I find this pretty amusing because I love dairy and drink far more than a gallon of milk a day or its equivalent in milk and yogurt. I've been doing this for nearly my whole adult life, for as long as I've been able to afford it. No I'm not fat at all. I find it really satiating, in fact.
I’m not going to lie milk with spaghetti hits different! 🔥
Exactly, I love milk with spaghetti. But if I eat pizza ( which I don't eat hardly any ) I love a little soda.
Keeps the heartburn away for me
I love whole milk and chicken breast it’s so weird
I know this was a while ago, but if you ever try this again- When reaching for the chocolate milk, dilute it with regular milk. It will taste delicious still and you'll cut down on how much sugar you're consuming even just a little bit. I do this whenever I purchase pre-mixed chocolate milk and it really makes a difference with how I feel after.
You can do the same thing with eggnog!
I don't drink a gallon of fresh milk, But drink or mix powdered milk, and eat cook with cottage cheese . Powdered milk and cottage cheese for some reason doesn't mess with my stomach. I use powdered milk and cc because is way cheaper than whey.
The scale part had me laughing man😂
This dude has some crazy good genetics. I would have been up 30lbs on the third day 😂

Some would say you have good genetics for bulking
Organic raw milk for lactose intolerance. The enzyme is cooked out of milk in the pasteurization process.
Great video. Really interesting topic and clean editing... but if big homie calls the milk "melk" one more time, I'm gonna spiral, bro.
Fuck yeah bro hope this works out for you, pretty crazy diet 🥛🥛🥛😂😂😂
This is actually normal for me. I live by myself and buy 3 gallons of milk every week I go to the store. I also drink milk with spaghetti like the girl said in the video. It's actually my favorite
"But under normal circumstances of GOMAD, You share with NOOOBODY"...haha--too funny! Also, the brief interlude of your wife dancing is cool...she's got moves.
Someone hit the scrumble batton in the vowels - great video
Oh man you're funny! I've been drinking a half gallon of chocolate milk(very low sugar for chocolate though) for the last six months to fuel my cycling and now lifting. Thanks for the trtophan update as I never knew and things make sense now
I do the chocolate milk too. Half gallon 1850 calories. I cant do plain flavor.
@@fluxision4823 hahaha I do whole white milk but i need food with it. Chocolate anywhere anytime! My chocolate is 1040 calories for 1/2 gallon.

The healthiest about this milk (if it is not ultraheated) are the enzymes, proteins and biocomunicators. ^^
But some of those also make a bit sleepy/relaxed depending on the perspective.

I love whole milk!
And where did you get non-homogenized milk? Never seen that before
I genuinely think you look better after the results. Someone your height makes the mass look good.
Dude you are a trooper
Shout out to the dude i saw who thought this challenge was ONLY a gallon of milk a day, no food
I have been drinking a gallon of raw milk for about a year now and I have gained 60 lbs I was 180 now I am 250 I am 6ft 4in tall and I love it I agree with a lot of what you were saying it's replacing water for me so I have to force water down now and sleep like a baby and always am relaxed. I have made tons of strength gains as well in just one year went from 135 bench to 275 for 1, 135 deadlift to 405 for 2, and front squat 315 for 5. But one thing is for sure you will look like a big soft baby man but your power will be unparallel I have noticed so I will keep it as my staple. And I am glad to see more people drinking milk it's super healthy for you and helps you so much but yeah the abs will also never show but abs aren't a sign of power so yeah great video. Also yeah chocolate milk is awful in a gallon I did that an it went horrible super fat bulk that's why I switched to raw.
Milk is 87% water
@@wakichunu Yes but I crave milk over water and I still drink about half a gallon of water alone.

It, of course, depends on the health of the animal it comes from though. You don't want to be drinking conventional homogenized milk from cows given GMO garbage feed and drugs.
@@carl8568 I get raw milk from a local dairy so yeah I know anything mass produced is worse for you.
Any tips on how to increase height

Milk does has a weird way of altering your taste for it. When I was little I guzzled the stuff down, easily a couple gallons a week by myself. One day I just kind of stopped, I’m not really sure why. Now I can’t drink a straight glass of milk anymore, I don’t really like the taste of it all that much. Some part of me definitely knew about the sedative effects though, I used to have trouble sleeping as a kid and my go to was to get up and have a bowl of cereal with milk. Always put me right to sleep, but it created really bad habits for later on lol. Still have trouble with eating late at night.
Milk can be slightly addictive due to how the casein breaks down into your body into casomorphin which has slight opioid effects. Just some weird stuff i remember from a hs paper
You should try old school body building diets for a week challenge
which one is a real example of the lore old skool body building...
The tiredness is actually coming from the sugar that in the milk one gallon has like 204 grams of sugar and it's called insulin resistance. You are also constantly eating and drinking which triggers the insulin everytime without rest
as someone who is lactose intolerant, i can say that the gas is most likely simply because your stomach is not used to the excessive amount of sugar (lactose) that a gallon of milk contains and it's most likely just too much to break down without the additional lactaze enzyme. If you were lactose intolerant you would know it for certain after only one glass of milk. Most lactose intolerants can stand like a few pieces of milk chocolate at most. This is the easiest to test if you can find lactose free milk and see if that changes the symptoms that the milk causes
I laughed the whole way through, this is so ridiculous. Thank you for sacrificing yourself
Me too! lol
I drank a gallon of 2% milk everyday for about 4 years (17 to 21). It was one of the cheapest ways to calories + protein when I was super broke. But milk was most of the food I consumed haha
Literally like a baby lmao.

@@durschfalltv7505 yeah pretty much I was in college at the time and working a few jobs and still training everyday. In that time span I did go from benching 135 to 405 and squating 495. Weight rooms where very different before social media haha
It's not food but yeah I understand
@@CorsoandMastiffadventuresHow much did your weight change and muscle mass?
I need to do this. I love the way milk taste. I used to drink half a gallon a day when I was a teenager because I craved it.
The reason for the “craving” is the casein. Its addicting.
So glad to see you're drinking the good milk! It's what I drink
I have a question. How do you feel when you are leaner vs a little more body fat? I see to feel bst around the 15 percent body fat mark that gives me a slight view of my abs. When I am leaner ( around 10 to 11 percent) it seems to be harder to maintain and if I let it i will quickly go back to the set point around 185 or so. I generally eat carnivore with some fruit around workout times... Which I need when I am leaner. When I am heavier I am good with full on carnivore.
That makes a lot of sense. For an average person 15 percent is comfortably maintainable for sure. getting closer to 10 percent is harder to maintain and serves no purpose other than aesthetics and being better at calisthenics. Even 20 percent can look fine but when you go too much higher you will start to look like what people describe as fat.
I don't see a reason to not be 15% by your description. You still look good and you feel good, so what's the downside?
I drink about 5 gallons of milk a week. Always a half gallon with dinner. Now switching over to raw buffalo milk for more nutritional value. I eat clean, mostly eggs chicken and veggies in bulk, lots of beans and hummus. My trainer tells me i don't need to worry about body fat and to keep it up. I feel and look better than i ever have. Also doing calisthenic, warrior, workouts 5 -6days a week
Is gas after 4 liters of milk lactose intolerance, or just normal? I also hit a point of too much eventually. Usually if I have like 4-5 bowls of cereal in a row. I think most people do.
I drink about a half a gallon a day anyway since i'm a protein shake and cereal addict😂
Simply watching him drink that much milk made me bloated 😂
Awesome video
I spent months drinking a half gallon to gallon of milk per day.
It was great to keep up with calorie requirements. But yeah, unless you're burning 6k calories a day dont do it.
Yep. Tried to down half a gallon of 2% milk once.
Let's just say it took a day for my bowels to go back to normal.
I'm normally not lactose intolerant with a glass or two but as with everything, too much of one thing isn't a good thing.
I got a half gallon of 2% down while watching this video, the past 20 minutes have been satisfying to say the least

I remember blasting and cruising for a year when I was 21, I not only ate a high protein/calorie diet but instead of water I was drinking milk. After one year I went from 140 to 210, literally was a monster in the gym but I was unrecognizable was retaining so much water and fat. Had an awesome cut though 🤌 hella stretch marks though.

I remember having the worst diarrhea ever during GOMAD lol
That and the constant bloating and farts. That's where I realized I was getting lactose intolerant. Oh joy 😂
Your craving it because milk has short-chain opioid peptides that literally creates addiction. In cheese these compounds are even more concentrated, and that is one of the reasons that many people can't stop consuming it. Milk also increases IGF-1 significantly and that can be good and bad. In terms of hypertrophy is potentially good, it stimulates the growth of both fat tissue and muscles, but it's also been linked to various forms and growths of cancers so yeah....In general, this went pretty much as I expected it to go. Regarding the Bioimpedance machine...don't worry too much about the actual number, worry about the consistency of said number. Even if the machine adds 5% to your total body fat, it dosn't really matter if it does that consistently. All you need to care is the difference between your starting BF% and your end BF% and if the machine is consistent that value will also be consistent.
Fun and adventurous content! Thanks for being our guinea pig, and sharing your results!
Secondly, if you would be so kind, please tell me why you often pronounce *the* and *a* as "thee" and "aye".... It sounds strange to my ears, and I never hear anyone use these pronunciations in everyday conversation.
