This thread is starting to become chock-full-of-awesome info!!!

Patrick, awesome brother!  Thanks for any and all info you can offer!  Diluted, same goes to you!

I am more of an ectomorph.  I am 5-9, 210 pounds, but very broad shouldered and deep chested.  
I also lifted through high school and college for football and also powerlifting for fun.

I love the big 3- but my favorite lift of all time is Power Clean!

As a result, I have awesome developed glutes and hamstrings, and waaaaay overdeveloped hips.

I also have "bodybuilder abs"  -  not exactly a six pack, but I have thick, powerful ab muscles, covered by a layer of bodyfat.  So, they protrude out, but you can see the lines of a six pack...It does not look like a beergut, I think you know what I mean.

For supplements, I take a number of vitamins and aminos.  I wont list them unless you are interested.

I do not drink, or smoke.

I eat quite clean-  lots of raw, fresh veggies (juiced) and all grassfed butter, milk, and beef.

I do eat a lot of cheese too, probably not the best, but Im never giving up cheese.

Very limited bread, pasta, nearly nil.

Protein supplement- afterlifting:  Isopure

Oh yeah, just started last week:

Zinc, Magnesium Aspartate before bed.

Love to hear other info on you guys

Original Message BRUTAL.

I have embarked upon my second "program" of 20 rep squats.

The issue I had last time, and will encounter again this time, and currently am dealing with is:
DOMS

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness.

My legs get sooooo sore from squatting. And doing the 20 reps is just killer.

But, the mental satisfaction, the confidence boost, the sense of accomplishment...it is unbeatable by any other lifting program I have come across.

Any other lifters out there have experience with 20 rep Squats? (Regarding GOMAD: I am not drinking one full gallon of milk per day, but I hope to get it up to close to 1/2 gallon per day!!)

I am only able to lift 3 times per week, maximum. My muscles get so sore, especially my legs, that I can only do it 3 times per week max. In fact, I have to take 3 days off between workouts A and B.

So it usually goes Mon, Thu, Sat for lifting days.

1 set of 20 rep squats to start each workout, followed immediately by 1 set 20 reps dumbell pullovers.
