work out hung over?

[sfgiant]

Yeah, I’ve trained with a hangover in the past, when I was young and stupid! But I do remember that it did seem to help more than any other hangover remedy with of course a “greasy spoon breakfast” to follow

I always do my best by drinking a ton of water and then doing medium intensity cardio the next morning to build up a good sweat. I don't know if it's truly possible but I feel like I sweat out hangover.

lol ... I have never worked out hungover in my life. And I have had many hangovers before, lol. Not so much these days. Sometimes, I was out of the gym for 2 days even. I dont go to the gym unless I can give it 100%.

arent there non-hungover days where you feel like you cant give 100%?

I made it a policy that I never miss scheduled workout days, ever. It has a rebound effect, because I dont drink if I am lifting the next day.

No matter what my condition I go in there and hit it as hard as possible.

If you are getting badly hung over off just 5 beers that sucks. But theres a simple solution. Leave a gallon of water by your bed and before you pass out drink at least half of it. YES AN ENTIRE HALF GALLON! This will reduce the hang over feeling by at least 75%. Immediately after you wake up drink the remaining half gallon then go pee for 5 minutes straight. Then take in some type of how GI carbs with your breakfast, such as a glass of OJ. You will feel much much better after doing this.

I rarely frink. Get drunk mayde 3-4 times a year. I may have a Baileys and coffee or maybe some wine with dinner if I'm out with a woman or female friend for dinner. I'm not against getting plastered every now and again, but I'd say don't bother working out the next day. Cardio maybe, later in the day if you're up for it. If I'm getting drunk. I know the day before there will be no workout the next day, if I do have one scheduled. And if I do, I usually know at least a week or so in advance (Only drink on certain planned occasions), so I switch my workout day anyway.

I won't lift when I'm hungover but I might do cardio because sweating makes it better sometimes.Another thing I have recently learned is that taking sleeping pills really screws up my workout the next day. I worked out feeling all groggy and I couldn't lift shit I also almost injured myself as well.

I always feel much better after a workout when hungover. Just sweatin that shit out helps a great deal.

Exactly. I don't have any scientific evidence other than feeling better after sweating my ass off. Maybe it's got something to do with speeding up your metabolism so that your body processes and evacuates the alcohol faster. Who knows, but it works for me. I'll do 45 min of stairclimber intervals followed by 10 min in the steam room and then a nice long shower. Abracadabra....all better. Although, it takes everything I got to get my ass to frickin' gym.

Even if you facilitate the body's sweating out of the alcohol, your body is still catabolizing muscle while you are doing this. Getting that drunk halts the anabolic process and puts your body in a catabolic state from the getgo, so in effect you might be sweating out the alcohol, which is good, but you're still burning the candle at both ends. Basically you're fucked when you get that drunk in the first place, so don't do it or face the consequences....

I used to drink a lot in the 80's and it hurt so bad to have hangovers. Haven't had a drink since 1986 and can't even imagine how much it would hurt at 45 years old.

If you get a hangover off 5 beers you really should quit drinking or try switching beers. When I drink I usually try to keep it to 8-10 beers of something light like coors light and don't get a bad hangover. But I only drink on Saturday nights because I have Sundays off and I only do light cardio. Stay away from liquor that shit gives horrible hangovers.

I'm a recovering alcholic so I tried everything at least once, hell I would get wasted at night and have to drink vodka and OJ for breakfast then 3 forty's of malt liquor at night. It was the worst blur of my life I've ever lived! I still shouldn't drink but i only drink the 8-10 beers once every month I finally got control of my problem! I quit drinking and started working out and realized there is a lot more to life and now I feel better and a lot healthier every day!
