Beers and Fitness

[maximus1986]

Ive stopped using supplements and now im trying to live a testosterone lifestyle, getting better sleep, eating the right diet while completing a good workout. But the one thing i need to sort out is my drinking. I only drink maybe twice a month. Im usually drink pints of beer, but recently i found out that hops is very estrogenic, and counter productive to my gains. Im thinking of just drinking cider, but thats packed full of sugar. Anyone any thoughts on this?

Dude, lay off the booze. My love is ice cold PBR tall boys. Alcohol has no place in the fitness world. It is pure evil because it is acceptable to get loaded everywhere. But if you must. Vodka is the only way. Not cheap crap, pricey organic stuff. And no more than a couple ounces at any time. And if you run any cycle booze is the down fall.

Its hard with social commitments, i might stick to vodka. But il probably end up drinking half a bottle in a night. Which would probably be worse than drinking 5 beers. What about light beers, like coors? or switching to bottles like corona?

Vodka and diet soda (diet sprite or 7 up) or crystal light

Rum and diet coke

Less calories than beer. Get loaded

I just updated my myfitnesspal app and cals add up fast with beers.... I drink the diet beer though..Sam Adams Light

Go on calorie counter or other type site. Enter in a six pack of what you like. You will crap yourself in the carbs and calories. Put in other drinks it's pretty cool.but hey I love my beer just I hate looking like a blowfish in the gym. But you said in earlier post on a couple times a month. If so drink it up. Just not everyday right.

I save most of my drinking time for summer. Ill binge drink about once sometimes twice a week. I can maintain my bf and mass but its hard to make gains when alcohol is involved. Oh and def no ph/aas with alcohol. I know its bad but I really like to enjoy myself in the summertime.

The cals is only one thing.....

It's the impact on natural anabolic hormone production that's the main concern.....

48hrs after one unit of alcohol, natural test down by 50%, that's before we even start to talk about natural GH levels, sleep
Patterns etc etc.....

Plus it's oestrogenic....

One session per week is enough to stifle yiur efforts dramatically....particularly if you're older

yup quit alcohol, beer, liquor ect, substitute with steak, broccoli, brown rice.

I don't drink alcohol but if you insist on beer once in a while go with the real stuff. its way more expensive. the cheap stuff is processed crap in a bottle. i had some guys helping me move shit recently and went and bought beer for the first time in maybe 10 years.. i was shocked how expensive it was!! i cannot believe some of you waste your money on that shit.. you could be spending it on supplements or juice.. and these guys that helped me move drank those beers up like nothing (they have beer bellies btw) wonder how much you beer drinkers blow on alcohol a month. what a waste. add it up sometime and then when you decide to cut it out then PM me and i will suggest some good supplements instead to actually HELP grow muscle

Yes, agree with steve. Any type of drug, may it be alcohol, tobacco, recreational drugs, will just hurt you and your gains. Drink milk instead. Got milk?

Blasphemous! Beer is the nectar of the Gods! Plus it helps your sex life tremendously ...in several ways. Lol. Lower standards and beast like stamina is a lethal combo.
