Not even Rippetoe can make GOMAD into some manly macho thing. I mean it's milk. Everyone including old grandmas, children and fucking babies drink milk. There is no movie badass with a leather jacket walking into a bar and ordering a pint of the white stuff. I know in some places around the world, there exist dairy beverages with added opium that might come close to making GOMAD more hardcoar. I dunno, maybe Rips followers are onto that already.
Seriously though. I'll speculate that if you're eating 7000 calories a day to gain mad weight, first thing is don't do that. But if you will do it regardless like the guy in the picture, you should do a bodybuilders high volume hypetrophy workout with a zillion sets to gain max muscle, a few sets of 5 will not get it done as well. Or maybe you should do the 5s first, and then the extra pump work? Dunno. At least this approach will burn more calorie spending 2-3 hrs in a gym per session and the rest of the time stuffing your face. All I know is the rip faithful walking into the gym 3x a week and not doing anything all week but a few sets of 5 while eating 7000cal will get really fat. Take the classic Pins Into Pillars squatting program. That has you doing 10 sets of 5 every workout, 3x a week of squats while linearly adding weight every time. I'm going to suggest that will achieve more growth than a coupla sets of 5. Probably still get quite fat but I'm more confident that you'll be a bit more muscular with Pins.
