In both books Mr Rippetoe talks about the GOMAD diet for a hard gaining youth.
I'm a very active half-marathon runner/triathlete in my mid forties, last year I switched over to competing in Spartan Races, which is why I ended up looking for strength training advice.
I'm just about to start the Liner Progression training as a novice (as advised in the aforementioned books). I was a gymnast in my youth, then later tried weight training and martial arts, although I have remained very active since my youth, I'm happy to start the program from the position of an absolute novice.
Please can I have some advice ?
How much milk would you advise drinking a day for a novice 183lbs - 5'8 mid forties male?
I don't seem to have any trouble putting on weight if i give myself half a chance.
This is my first post, please don't crucify me if this has been addressed elsewhere, I've looked but couldn't find an answer.
Cheers,
Jonathan.
