Milk, milk, milk, milk, milk... Arnold says in "Pumping Iron":
"Milk is for babies, when you grow up, you have to drink beer."
Of course, Arnold has a great sense of humor and was joking. Milk is the best thing for someone like you and I. You should drink milk, and lots of it. And not that Soy crap either, real milk.
Here are a few excerpts from a webpage linked up in a previous post:
The Wit and Wisdom of Mark Rippetoe
Milk is quite literally better than steroids for a novice lifter to grow on, and no supplement produces the same effect.
There are no shortcuts. The fact that a shortcut is important to you means that you are a pussy. Let me be clear here: if you'd rather take steroids than do your squats heavy and drink enough milk, then you are a fucking Pussy.
It is because over thirty years of direct observation has demonstrated to me that when trainees drink one gallon of milk added to their regular diet and train in a progressive linear fashion, they gain significant muscular bodyweight, and those that do not drink their milk, even in the presence of progressive linear training, fail to do this. They also fail to continue progressive linear training for the same length of time, because this is facilitated by the steady weight gain. I understand that you're asking me if I have controlled for other factors such as failure to do the program correctly, and the answer is yes, of course I have, because I am not a complete idiot. Those that will not do the program are not being considered when I make these remarks, because that would be too fucking obvious a hole in my analysis. The difference in the milk drinkers is that THEY GET BIGGER THAN THE ONES WHO WON'T DRINK THE FUCKING MILK. Please tell me that you understand this now.
There is no substitute for milk. Sorry.
I drink 375ml of milk with my shake in the morning, 1L of milk throughout my day at work, 375ml with my shake after I workout, and a tall glass with supper, almost every weekday. Trust me, milk is crucial for tall skinny guys like us.
Drink up.
