With all emphasis put on supplements (protein powders, amino acids, etc.), you hear very little about possibly THE BEST dietary supplement available - MILK. You don't have to search for a health food store to buy it, and it is relatively cheap to buy. In fact, vending machines in the cafeteria & snack carts are stocked with 3-4 different flavors! To quote Dr. Randall Strossen, author of Super Squats, he says:
"Milk, without question was and still is the food of first choice
for a non-drug approach to bulking up. It is high in protein, rich
in other nutrients, easy to consume in large quantities. Also, the
proof in the pudding- everyone on a consistent heavy squat program who
drank enough of it gained weight. Yes, everyonewe've ever heard of!
The first time I tried this program I was a construction worker for the
summer. I lugged my thermos filled with milk to work every morning.
I ended up gaining 15 pounds in six weeks."
Here's further testimony from Mr. Doug Hepburn, one-time world's strongest man:
"There are certain foods that I place above all others in reguards to promoting muscluar size and strength. One of the formost of these is MILK. Milk, a near perfect food, contains the basic food elements necessary for complete body nourishment. Moreover, milk can be consumed in quanity witout overloading the digestive system. When in heavy training, I consume at least 2-3 quarts a day."
Enough said, the potential results of drinking milk are right there for every athlete who is serious about building bigger and stronger muscles! Drink at least 2 quarts (a 1/2 gallon) a day, with all meals and even with between meal snacks. That $1.50 a day you invest will be the best decision you've ever made as an athlete. Don't drink milk in place of food, but in addition to your meals!!!
MILK + LIFTING = SIZE & STRENGTH
