C'mon.

Like you weren't hoping, just a teensy bit, that there's validity to this.

You know I am!

See you at the pub.

Beer and wine best alcohol for bodybuilders, just make sure if you are going to be drinking a lot of beer watch the carbs in your meals.

I follow a modified beer version of Bodyopus.

Zero alcohol content monday thru Friday, until 8 pm Friday, when I begin my re-feed on alcohol. The refeed ends with my last cesar around noon on Sunday.

I find this keeps the muscles guessing.

I like this dedicated and disciplined regimen. I think I'll try it this summer, but it'll be tough to not imbibe in summer beers by the river. Maybe I'll allot myself some alcohol cheat days every now and again.

I admire your discipline, snx. 8)

It's all about discipline. That said, IIFYAC (if it fits your alcohol consumption) then a few cheat drinks during the odd week can stoke the metabolic fires, so to speak.

Your words found their mark, my friend: I like to think I'm a bastion of regulation and control in an otherwise seemingly topsy-turvy world hell-bent on entropy, anarchy and general nihilism. I do what I can.

Dark beers, stout, good ales etc like Guinness and India Pale Ales are the way to go - good beer that doesn't have any of the crap you get in the cheaper brands.

The only problem I can see with too much beer is the dehydration which could affect you're training and recovery and the potential effects it has on stimulating estrogen receptor sensitivity.

To much beer will give you a gut and tities. If you drink for years you will have a fatty liver that will cause or contribute to metabolic problems. It will also leave your nerves shot, disrupted sleep, liver stress, and elevated estrogen.  If you drink discipline yourself to once or twice a week.

Now if I could only follow my own advices.

Beer makes me drunk. Being drunk makes me want cookies, French fries, pizza, fried chicken, milk shakes, etc.


Therefore beer is not bodybuilding food

"scientific" research these days is an absolute joke. Insane that most of these statistically flawed studies instantly get posted on the larger news sites.
