Milk and bodybuilding - do they mix?

So an olympic athlete has fallen into the chocolate milk hype and now it MUST be good?

Give me a break. If you wanna drink milk go for it people, but to say its leading to all of the success in athletics is far from the truth.

Chocolate milk especially...its filled with tons of additives and thickeners such as carageenan, its devoid of immunoglobulins and probiotics and digestive enzymes because they boil the piss out of it, vitamins and minerals lost as well.

The argument is just so fundamental and people fall into it. Let me explain:
"It has protein to rebuild my muscles FAST and carbs to refill my glycogen WHOA!!"

Its an advertisement paid for by dairy farmers LMAO.

So yes it has protein and carbs...like I said above, very processed forms. So do people actually think that chocolate milk would be better than egg whites and sweet potatoe for PWO?

Another thing, show me a bodybuilder who drinks milk after training.

I get you with say chocolate milk...not stopping at a Shell station to get my PWO shake.

Its an advertisement paid for by dairy farmers LMAO. Was not this either...

Did not say that either...it compared recovery to Gatorade. Which I think you agree is garbage. Most...most people are not lifting and hustling down egg whites with baked sweet potatoes. Milk is a better option than probably many of the garbage protein powders on GNC shelves.

Another thing, show me a bodybuilder who drinks milk after training.

I can post many research article promoting milk for recovery. I'm just saying...it has its place and people bashing milk are probably the ones that should give it a look. If you are a competive BB...okay I get it...you don't like it in your diet. But for most I think they should be reconsidering.

Ever been to Olypmic Village in CO? There is some money going into the place and the athletes. Just saying I don't think they paid this women way to China and let her compete eating pop tarts every morning.
