alcohol

[ap282]

im only just starting to get serious about training and every body builder is telling me to lay off the booze...
does any one still drink?? even ocasionally?

It is proven that alcohol lowers Test levels in your body. Ever meet a drunk guy with super small shoulder frame. Or how about an over weight drunk, yeah cotisol levels up and Test down is not a good combo bro. I personally drink maybe 3 times a year, and its not to get drunk its to relax with the right people.

Paul Millet drinks like a fish and looks pretty damn good. I think a lot of bobybuilders drink heavy. I'll try to find some pics of him and post them.

BOOGS

I'm not saying they don't party like rock stars at times, but I highly doubt they put away the same amount of booze as your raging alcoholic in any given week. Also, when I say great physique I'm talking about national caliber BB competitors, not some Men's Fitness Magazine photo shoot reject.

Your right but only when it is abused. One or two drinks a day is actually good for you. Countless studies on this topic, more positive than negative.

When I am on I don't drink EVER, when I am off once a week I might have a mixed drink or 2.

Have you considered huffing paint as a lower calorie alternative buzz? I hear cutting yourself up with a razor blade is a trendy way to party these days as well. I feel old cuz neither of these things sound remotely fun to me.

Alcohol will inhibit your gains, slow your metabolic rate and lead you to eat pizza at 3am. Cutting my drinking has helped tremendously; however, we all must live. Everything in moderation.

If you're taking AS, then daily alcohol consumption is not suggested. Anything past 1 glass of wine, I don't suggest

1 - 1.5 glasses of wine per night with dinner is all I will allow myself. I steer clear of beer especially when im on gear... hey that rhymed. Go me.
