Suit yourself. I think from a health and repartioning (gaining muscle and losing fat at the same time) you would be wise to include them.

I really don't see anything wrong with milk, especially skim milk, it has no fat. Why do you say no milk? Do you say keep bananas to a minimum because they have a higher GI? Because I cut clear down to 8-9% eating bananas the whole way, I think it depends on time of day you eat specific foods.

Theres nothing wrong with milk perse but cottage cheese, esp if eaten before is reccomended by Berardi because it burns more slowly. Plus some people bloat with milk and I wasnt sure if you had that experience. Yes timing is important, Im not sure when youre planning on eating bananas. Im speaking from my own experience in repartitioning where I raised my calories by 1500 over time and stayed at the same bodyweight.

I had never heard of Sean Illes, but as far as an out of the book definition, the routine is conjugate because I'm training max effort and repetition effort, two contrasting methods. I guess the definition is meant to be something else in weight training? Even there though, the routine is based on improving multiple qualities at once, ME and RE. I don't see where you are coming from about the routine not being conjugate. Because it doesn't have DE or because it's not WS?

Hes the person who made that quote, nothing more nothing less. If you insist that you that youre routing is conjugate, then youre not setting up your ME work properly, everyday has almost the same rep scheme so it doesnt seem like youre very many qualities. Im not sayign you wont make gains on this plan, Im just saying that its not a conjugate setup. WS is a conjugate setup, and there are many other examples.
