No there isnt? High milk consumption is a tool to add to a high calorie diet when strength gains are highest priority. Some people dont need to use the tool cuz they can reach high cals without it.
And for some strength isnt their #1 priority and thats fine.
What other opinions could there possibly be?
Exactly. Just an easy way to get calories in if needed.

Well I remember reading somewhere that excessively high milk consumption cancer increase certain types of cancer?
But hey I'm all for milk I drink 2-4L a day!
Excessive high consumption of probably anything will increase chances of cancer.
I am the same.
My 1 rep sets on heavy compounds are nothing to write home about, but 70% for 20 reps works well.

didnt read all the replies but i tried 20 rep squats a year ago. i remember reading you should start it at 70% and then add weight each week
i had a 1RM of just over 140kg maybe, or 150
did it once a week. added 2.5kg each week
started at 105kg i think
after roughly 5-6 weeks i think i got to 117.5 for 20
week after that couldnt make 20 with 120kg
first 8 aint too bad. 9-10 getting hard. 12th you start struggling. after that its basically about getting in air. after 16 reps you're lucky to get 1 rep every 20-30seconds

You had an estimated 50-60kg squat gain in 5-6 weeks.... Seems a little off :|

l guess, yeah.
it didnt rise that much, it wouldve been lucky to rise 10kg
essentially i only really added 10-15kg to my 20RM
If your do 20 reps at 70% then I think your 1rm is off IMO.
20 reps sounds like pure conditioning, I don't think it would increase strength but would be great prep for say cycling.
in the same way guys can do 50 push ups or pull ups, they will do more and more reps with time but they are not increasing their strength beyond the weight of a single push/pull up.
There's a reason why so many bb'ers stay in the 8-12 rep range for hypertrophy and pl'ers do 5 or less most of the time.
Excluding eastern euro or German volume programs but those programs rely on guys not doing any day job and a lot of kicking guys out of the program if they can't keep up. Different to hobby/sport lifters that do it for fun and have day jobs.
If we could just train then eat and go to sleep, rinse repeat we would all be further along with volume training.
