Partying while bodybuilding.....................

[Mad Max]

Who finds it hard to party while maintaing a good body?i feel my training and diet has to be perfect if I want to go play in the clubs. I always say I won't do anything at the club but once i'm exposed to the enviroment and music I can't help but get CRAZY. But I refuse to give up going out because I workout to show it off and be proud of my work. It's like a catck 22. Anyone else think its a pain to try and balance the two together??
---PEACE---Mad Max

Yeah, that's the idea -- you train so you can be big when you go out to the clubs, but going out will seize some of the gains!

It's like taking 10 steps forward and then 1 step back. Well worth it in the end. Because other than going out, there's really no reason to train. Unless you are a complete narcissist and love to stare at yourself in the mirror all day. And a well balanced life will put you in a better mindset for everything else, including training. So you might not even be sacrificing anything for your body in the long term.

It can't hurt to take precautions. Always drink a lot of water if you plan on doing anything speedy (esp. x). Speed and dehydration is the recipe for quick catabolism. I've lost five pounds in one night!
Also, set an absolute time to call it quits and go to sleep. It's those all nighters with one hour of sleep (in addition to the drugs) that really destroy your body. I'll have a Xanax and a Valium ready, and I call it quits at a set time, no matter how much fun I am having! Unless, of course, I am getting laid!

Well....I dont enter contests or anything, however I take my training and diet extremely serious....with that in mind, I allow myself one night where I go crazy and if I go out another night I will have a more relaxing evening....meaning just 84 style!!!!(DRINKING) rum & diet cokes....but I will factor that into my calories for the day

 

[Stan Azolol]

I agree with a HELL YEA! I can't do one without the other, and the fact that i used to be a skinny 8up raver doesn't make it any easier when i hear techno and see glowsticks flying everywhere. I roll lightly only once every 6 mos. i try not to drink alcohol more than one night a week (god i miss my G and Renew)and as hard as it may be, i just keep myself aware of my sleep, my meal every 4hrs. no matter when or where i am, and the penalty i will suffer the next 4 days if i don't keep things in moderation. But the battle is damn well worth it, not to mention challenging!

your in the club to have a good time,,and if drinking helps in having a good time,,then drink...we'll all go crazy if we just trained and ate right 100 percent of the time

Axe the drinking, go to dance and meet girls (if you meet one offer to buy them a drink, and just say you are driving or something to avoid them feeling awkward that you aren't drinking). More often than not, the only thing I want after in a club for a few hours is water, it gets so damn hot in there sometimes (especially Exit in NYC and Shampoo in Philly).

Of course, I know there are those out there that can't "get into it" without a little stress-relief brought on by the booze. In your case, just try to keep it light enough to get a buzz - then stop.

As far as the drug users, my only advice is to stop now - it'll kill you in the end, and it definitely isn't helping your training.

 

[Xalthus]

bro.. I party EVERYDAY and still manage to train and eat right and everything.. I been stoned for the past few months almost daily. (friends comeover and we party everyday). And im still the fastest on my football team. Party HARD bros.

 

[LeviathanX]

Xalthus... come back and talk to us a couple of years from now. You might not see any effects now, but it'll catch up to you. I don't know what quality of stuff you are smoking, but regardless of what it is it is far more potent than cigarettes and will coat your lungs full of tar and kill your alveoli very quickly. Not to mention the brain cells you are killing in mass quantities if you are smoking up everyday. It's a wonder anyone is able to have a meaningful conversation with you.

I don't understand the idea that drugs=partying=fun. When I'm at parties some people smoke up and some people don't, at 5 in the morning the people who weren't smoking up are getting laid, and the those that were smoking up are on the ground stoned not knowing what is going on.

But, I guess to each his own.

Xalthus, right on! Work hard, play hard!

I like the way you think. Good to see someone else around with half a brain..

 

[dork]

I need at least, AT LEAST, one night a week to un-wind. Which means getting drunk or what ever. Certain drugs I wont touch while on cycle, coke being the main one....

If im off cycle ill drink 4-5 nights a week, and bump some coke every now and again. The exctasy phaze kinda faded out...

Oh, ill smoke weed when ever, i don't even consider it a drug

 

[Big Buck]

Yeap, at least once a week. I'm only 21, what do u expect. I must be doing something right to be 250 w/ a six pack....

 

[Xalthus]

getting laid? i get laid about 3 times a day from my girlfriend. And u obviously dont know how weed works. The high doesnt last long enough. And weed doesnt make u sit there and go DUH.. whats goin on. I actually like to smoke up. and go to chores, fix the car, shopping, all kinds of stuff. If you had half the brain you wouldnt be talkin shit on something you dont know.

don't be too harsh on him, not everyone reacts the same to weed. I can only smoke late at night because when i smoke i can't function at ALL. just my 2 cents.

 

[LeviathanX]

Whoa... first of all, there are different qualities of weed. If you are smoking swag you aren't going to get as high as if you were smoking chronic. Sure, if you are smoking the least potent stuff out there you can probably go around and do your daily business, but if you are smoking anything that is worth your money most people WILL be in a daze on the floor.

Sure, I don't speak out of personal experience, but I've known enough people and seen the results of heavy marijuana use to be much more of a negative than a positive in the long run.

As before, however, I said to each his own. I don't approve, that is my opinion, but do whatever you want. It isn't my life.

The only thing that really sucks about partying is my diet, after a long night of partying i HAVE to eat bad the next day (Mcdonalds, Wendy's, B.King) My body just doesn't want to hear chicken breast and tuna. He is like you fucked me up now i am going to fuck you up. Haven't partied in 2 weeks and my diet has been perfect... !

But next week is the "Body and Soul" Concert in Central Park and then Factory is going to have a PJ party..so the streak will end.

i am not competing, and i have said before i workout mainly for puss. its nice to look good and be strong and all that other shit but in the end i rather be weak and pathetic getting laid then huge and strong without girls. so in conclusion i go to clubs to try to get puss, and lift to get puss. of course i will not try to destroy my body and get fucked up in moderation.

if i were competing or other shit like that where my body really counts and i am competing against someone who doesn't party i wouldn't want him to have an advantage over me then i wouldn't drink or shit like that.

it basically depends on your goals and my goal is to just have some fun

Can you tell me about this Body and Soul concert? Is it related to Vinyl's Body and Soul Sunday afternoon party?

I don't understand this comment at all. It isn't like guys who workout are spending all their time in the gym and counting every single calorie (unless you are competing which most aren't). I'm just saying that smoking up is a stupid way to have fun in general, but especially if you are trying to look out for your health. Man, what do you think the guys who aren't smoking up are doing? Sitting in a corner somewhere? No, bro, we're out there with the women also.

It isn't like us guys who aren't smoking up are having any less fun than those guys that are. Every girl I've been with has never been "turned-off" that I didn't smoke, in fact, most of them would RATHER have a guy who doesn't smoke for obvious reasons.

I have no problem with drinking in moderation, but I do have a problem with people getting piss drunk and stumbling home in a stupor. Have some self-respect. It isn't a matter of competing, it is a matter of keeping yourself healthy so that you CAN have fun. If you need to pump your body full of something to have fun your in bad shape.

To be honest, I'm surprised this thread has garnered such a debate.

Its a Trance Concert they throw in Central Park every year. Last year it was free and the turn out was insane, so this year they are charging $10. Obviously like anything else they want to make money... They have alot of DJs from NYC and around the world and a few performances. I think i said it was Aug. 13, but its Aug. 11. I am not sure if it has anything to do with Vinyls "Body and Soul" Sunday afternoon(thats phat as hell too), i will try to find out for you though. But if you like trance you should check it out.

I understand your point of view. I dont' smoke up a lot and lately haven't been drinking but I've been having fun. But in my area (north jersey/nyc) clubs are where alot of the night life happens. Not sure how it is everywhere else but drinking and what not usually happens here. And its just fun to be fucked up, makes it easier to go up to girls, easier to act stupid and laugh, just a good time. Hard to describe but alcohol has been around forever and will never leave us and many people enjoy it. I don't understand what you don't understand. I wanna look good for the puss by working out. That is what I meant by that comment. Everything else is a side for me

WOW you going to get flamed for that one, just to let you know.

I'm from South Jersey, and I club in Philly or NYC almost every weekend, so I know about the culture. Sure, I can understand how people lose their inhibitions when they drink, but I think if you've got the looks and the personality what do you really have to lose just going up to a girl sober.

I'm not really bashing drinking alcohol, though. I don't really have a problem with that, it's the weed and other drugs (i.e. all the e-heads at clubs) that I don't really get.
