Adding Mass

Bigger Stronger Leaner Competitive Bodybuilding
1

Hi guy’s,
About 4 weeks ago I started using Bill Starrs 5*5 system and i’m planning on continuing it for at least the rest of this year. I’m trying to add around 20 lbs of lean mass to my frame, but for the forseable future will probably add more fat as well. I’m not going to bother trying to strip the fat off this year and i’ve also stopped cardio.
My diet consists of meat/fish, fruit/veg, nuts, fruit juice and milk.
I would firstly like to know if this is a good plan.
Secondly, I have been told that milk can cause prostate cancer and as I will be drinking around 1/2 litres per day I would like to know if this is a good idea.
I would only be drinking this amount of milk for about the next 12 months.
Cheers.

A half liter of milk a day? You’ll be fine.

By what mechanism does milk CAUSE prostate cancer? Who made that claim and what are they basing it on?

Through college I was drinking between a half gallon and a full gallon of milk a day. I have never understood why food nazis attack that one item to that degree.

I’ve never been able to find anything in the medical literature about the mechanism through which it increases the risk of prostate cancer, but it seems that the majority of the sci. community feel it has something to do with excess dietary calcium.

This is a pretty starting list on research papers on the topic, if not slightly one-sided in favour of the anti milk side.

Of course, you have to ask yourself, is drinking a couple of extra glasses of milk worse than shovelling down the shit that most people eat? Probably not, but then, noone has done the research eh.
