Day 4 – Squats and Milk…Minus the Milk
None for me thanks.
I didn’t post anything from Day 3…but here’s the cliff-notes. I finally drank a full gallon of milk. The results: diarea, stomach cramps, bloating…and believe it or not…wheezing. That last symptom concerned me a bit so I researched it. At first I was positive that I was lactose intolerant…but that didn’t explain the wheezing. Then I read about cow’s milk intolerance, which has most of the same symptoms as lactose intolerance, but they are different. Lactose intolerance is a problem with the digestive system not producing lactase. Cow’s milk intolerance is an allergy to cow’s milk. Since I am allergic to everything else in the world, there’s no reason to believe that I’m not allergic to cow’s milk…especially with all of the symptoms.
So, Day 4 I decided to consume zero milk. By noon I stopped wheezing, and all other symptoms disappeared. That is a MAJOR problem with the Squats and Milk workout. I will not be drinking anymore milk, and instead am just going to continue doing the workouts but instead of the milk I am going to be doing this other 4000 cal diet that I pulled off of a forum on bodybuilding.com. Tomorrow I will tell you more about the diet, but I’m pretty excited about it. I cooked all of my meals for tomorrow at one time tonight. It took a little while, but I didn’t mind at all. I think that I can gain the 15 pounds in 6 weeks even WITHOUT the milk. And if so, then I will have a new regiment for people to use who can’t consume the gallon of milk that this workout is supposed to require.
Today’s weight: 172
Workout: Since it was too easy last time I added 30 pounds to the squats (for a total of 165 lbs). PERFECT amount. When I got to the 9th rep I had doubts that I could finish. After the 15th rep I had to pause for about six to ten breaths before doing each of the last five reps. When I finished my lower back was a block of cement and my legs were screaming! I love it. I also did:
2 sets of Deadlifts with 225 lbs
3 sets of bench
3 sets of chins weighted with 10 lbs.
3 sets of bent rows
3 sets of military presses
