lol at least someone noticed though its always a good sign when someone says "have you been working out" :-) i have just finished reading the book starting strength and have started to go back over the excercise technique once again however i did notice that in the program section that it is said that you should try to drink a gallon of milk a day (being english i have converted this to be very suprised to find this is 8 pints a day!) is this really a good idea and does anyone else drink a large volume of milk and find it helps? he says that it will help build anyone up due to the content in it and also the fact that it helps mammals develop? when he says drinking milk would he be refering to the completly skimmed milk with less fat in or the skimmed milk does anyone know? i do love my millk but just wondered if anyone thought that this amount was really necessary?
