A time-tested bulking up program is appropriately called the Gallon of Milk a Day (or GOMAD) diet. It’s really simple:

• Go to the store
• Buy a gallon of milk
• Drink it in a day

That’s it. Well, not really. You’ll want to ease into this. Some folks report stomach issues. Also, don’t do follow this program if you suffer from milk allergies or if you’re lactose intolerant.

Finally, make sure you train hard and rest easy while following the GOMAD program.

Lots of trainers have experienced even greater success with this program when coupled with a Breathing Squat training routine.
