I posted that in 2006 on another forum.
What hasnt been explained in the OP, which is why he is being ridiculed by some, is the reason your arms grow when you squat.
Your arms will grow 1" for every 7kg of bodyweight you gain. Your arms wont get larger unless you get heavier, no matter how many curls you do, its the same with every bodypart.
If this wasnt the case, those 65kg guys curling all day would have 25" arms, never going to happen.
Now whats the best way to gain weight? Squats and milk. All the PTC crew know this, as does most of ns.com
This explains why I tell people that the gym is for strength gains, the dinner table for physical transformation.
Everybody thats lifted for a few months knows you cant spot reduce, yet most ignore that it works both ways. You can improve development, but not size without a weight increase. A bigger muscle is a heavier muscle.
I was going to wait for my experiment to run the full 4 weeks before saying anything, but this is the perfect thread.
A few newsletters ago Max was stung into action about my observations. Last tuesday he decided to try the 5 litres of milk diet. Nothing else changed, not the rest of his meals, not his training.
His starting weight, first thing in the morning in his jocks, 70kg. One week later it was 72.4kg. He is around 75-76 in the evening, but we only count his Tuesday morning weight.
You wouldnt believe how much difference 2.4kg makes to a lean physique, but I'll let others tell you about that.
He squats every day and drinks 5 litres of milk. He will be close to 10kg heavier in a month. wanna guess if he'll have bigger arms?
The whole thing will be covered in a later newsletter.
The OP is right, now you have the reason.
