Title: DRINKING BEER AFTER WORKOUT GOOD OR BAD?
Post by: alexxx on January 25, 2007, 04:30:48 PM
Quote from: John Romano;2515
Arnold said "Milk is for baby cows."  He an Franco used drink a beer or two after almost every work out.  Vasodilator and carbs.. Way ahead of their time?

If Arnold can drink beer after doing a workout and go to the Oktoberfest during his youth years, then it must be all good.

i have done extensive research on this, and i am sure that despite all the keyboard professors regurgitating textbook information, moderate beer consumption DOESNT MATTER AT ALL

i would not recommend drinking that much either the day before working out or for at least 2 days after working out. however the thing that people dont get is that its just all genes, if u lift weights and eat food thats all you can do, the rest is up to genetics entirely, either you will grow or you wont. some people drink every day and still get big while others go totally clean and live the life and dont grow for shit.

    Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but alcohol is probably not the best postworkout drink.  It actually does lower free test levels, not much but some.

  Why not eat and take the supplements when you work hard in the gym.  People say this all the time but here goes.  At least 70%, if not more of one's progress occurrs outside of the gym.  Eating every 3 hours, avoiding excessive alcohol use, and getting sleep.

It also raises estrogen levels by a large degree...So you get the double wammy...Lower test levels, and higher estrogen levels for a short period of time..

I'm surprised nobody has talked about the fact that ANY alcohol catabolizes your muscles.. After you break your muscles down from a workout, the last thing you wanna do is NOT rebuild them.. 

Funny thing we used to do is fukk with the beginners at the gym by telling them to drink beer before bed and take yeast to blow up like a cake does in the oven.. Most times we couldn't even keep a straight face it was so damn funny how these guys actually tried this..

Yes, in Reality if your going to drink after a workout...Might as well skip the workout and go straight to the bar..

Everybody's different.  I drink quite heavily almost every weekend.  Sometimes middle of the week.  I've got an extremely high tolerance for alcohol, so when I drink, I drink a lot.

The biggest concern in my experience is not letting the lowered inhibitions, kill your diet.  If you go out drinking, and then go to Waffle House, you're toast.  But if you make sure that you cheating on your diet while you're boozing is not acceptable, you're going to be fine.

Granted, I'm not talking about competitors here.  I'm talking about real, everyday guys, who work real jobs and also love to crush iron in the gym.  It's what you do "most" of the time that matters.  So if you're getting shit-faced 2 nights a week, then out of the 168 hours in that week, you're intoxicated for 12-20 hours (7% - 12%), leaving 88% of the time to be completely committed.  88% is pretty f#cking good in my book!

Also, nothing beats a hangover like a lot of water and a good workout!

Oops, I did want to throw in that I DO NOT think that Alcohol should be consume right after a workout.  It intereferes with nutrient absorption, so by the very LEAST, give yourself enough time (2-4 hours) to fully digest and assimilate your post-workout meal or shake.
