Aromatization and Alcohol

ad

So I went out and had some drinks Friday night BAD IDEA... Took me all Saturday to Recover...
Also I noticed today (Monday) that my Workout was Fatigued....
So I Decided to do some research...

EMPTY CALORIES

Dehydrates your muscle cells.

SLOWS DOWN PROTEIN SYNTHESIS
"ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION ALSO HURTS MUSCLE GROWTH. NOT ONLY DUE TO HANGOVERS LOWERING YOUR WORKOUT INTENSITY, BUT IT ACTUALLY LOWERS PROTEIN SYNTHESIS BY 20%."

ALCOHOL LOWERS TESTOSTERONE AND INCREASES ESTROGEN!

36 hours the effects linger. What happens if you put multiple days of drinking together I wonder?

Drinking on cycle is a bad idea. The hangovers alone
can take a day or two to recover just from the alcohol alone.

Can't argue with what you said but for me personally I like to live and enjoy life. Couldn't care less if my workout following a night out dropped in intensity although that has never happened to me. Wifey and I hit it hard both Friday and Sat and woke up to a 2 hour kick ass workout. Life is way too short to miss out on some fun.

Unless you're a professionally body builder that makes their living doing this does it really matter? I'm not saying to party every night but a few times a month is good for me.

Everything in moderation... Except brownies!!!

I'm not saying its a bad idea to enjoy yourself. By all means live and enjoy life to the fullest. I'm just saying drinking while on cycle has hindering effects. I feel like by drinking I'm not giving it (the cycle) the full dedication I could if I hadn't drank. Moderation is always good. LOL
