Trying Chocolate Milk PWO

Nutrition
1

I’m officially changing my post workout drink to chocolate milk. After listening to Mike Barwis and seeing what he did with West Virginia and Andy Bennett making Fresno State the strongest in school history, I think it’s worth trying.

There’s also many other schools doing the same, these are just 2 worth mentioning. Anyone else out there doing this? If so, what are you using (how much milk, how much chocolate)?

Thanks!

PS I’m not saying this is better than Surge, it’s just something I’m going to try.

I’ve tried it before, using chocolate milk alone sucked in my opinion - I wasn’t recovering well enough.

A plain protein shake with some energade worked better for me.

Hope it goes better for you.

Yeah, it’s a shame that the NCAA doesn’t allow schools to provide products like Surge to there athletes, so they have to resort to using chocolate milk.

Why couldn’t they??

The NCAA does not allow schools to provide supplements that contain a significant amount of protein because they consider them to be “muscle building.”

I’m not positive, but I believe they can only give products that contain less than 30% protein.

Does that mean they also provide really fat buns for their hamburgers to keep the % of protein legal there too. Oh wait, only for supplements. Wadda buncha bullshit

The NCAA has some ridiculous regulations. Just comes with dealing with the retarded system. People think supplements are the legal equivalent of steroids. I have honest to God had people ask me if my protein shake was the same as taking steroids.

Try it. From my experience if I down a protein shake right after my workout I hardly have any soreness the next day. If I don’t, then I feel more sore. I’ve tried chocolate milk, but it didn’t have the same effect.

Well, I know that Velda Farms chocolate milk is LOADED with protein. I drank that every day post workout for months. If I had the money, I’d do it again.

I’ve been going 33g protein (1.5 scoops whey) with 66g dextrose pre and post workout (pwo w/ 12g BCAA) with creatine and beta-alanine.

During training I ingest 44g carbs with beta-alanine and 12g BCAA.

It kicks ass for skinny guys.

There are ways around this that they take advantage of. Example would be BCAA’s in the gatorade.

Just like our running back got a massive flat screen TV from the school “to watch game video on.”

on a budget chocolate milk maybe, but if you’re able to afford Surge why not use that?

Not to hijack the thread, but that is so awesome yet so ridiculous. A bunch of the football players at my school got new cell phones for dubious reasons. So…yeah, there will always be loopholes.

Well, amino acid supplements are not allowed to be supplied by NCAA schools, either.

It’s pretty ridiculous, but they can’t provide much other than gatorade or some other carb/electrolyte drink.

Im curious to see how your results will be with the choco milk. You will have to let us know how it worked for ya

I’m trying to get my cousin, who just started weight lifting for football to drink Chocolate Milk after he trains as it’s probably the most he could get by with his mom and coach, for now. I’m sure it’s better than nothing, if you tolerate milk, but I’ll stick to my Surge.
