Holy fuckin smokes, I thought he was gonna dead lift it. 

Nah man. Im pretty sure he has DLed over 400kg. Hes an absolute beast this guy.

I don't like how Zach is butchered as an example of a failed diet in this ridiculous thread. His goal was to get bigger and stronger, both of which he accomplished very well. His goal was not to enter a physique contest or to be an underwear model. Just get over it, that there are people who couldn't care less if they have a six pack or not. Also notice that those who cry the loudest about this being an example of how not to approach eating and training are often also those who never got an average kid as strong as fast - good diet or not.

Would I encourage eating this way for an athlete that wants to jump higher? No, probably not since athletes will usually need to be in contest shape for a big proportion of the year. But if the objective is to get as strong as possible as fast as possible eating a ton of stuff with GOMAD is likely going to meet your needs very well.

I think the general consensus is: Do the Session A: 3x8
                                                     and Session B: 3x5

but do your bounds, barbell skips, depth drops, sprints before hand or you're going to spin your wheels again. I did a couple years of hypertrophy work for my glutes, hamstrings and quads. Sure it made me more athletic, but I'm certain I'd be jumping a good number of inches higher than I am now, if only I had included my plyos while getting bigger.

That's the reason I was the guy RDL'ing 170kg for reps but only single leg jumping 31 inches. If I actually trained to jump higher (What a shock if you want vert huh?) and let the muscle gain take care of itself through getting stronger and diet, I would be jumping higher than I am now. That is my opinion and experience.

Yes but I won't be able to jump this winter since it will be cold outside, and I don't WANT to jump while gaining weight (muscle and fat). I want to only strength train.

And no, I can't "eat like an athlete". I already have irritable bowel syndrome and feel like puking all day long (literally all day long) so that's a no-no for me. I try to but I can't. The word "eat" make me feel like I want to puke.
