Thread 76471777

I go to gym every day but each time i get really anxious because of all the mirrors at the gym and have bad thoughts and after every trainign so every day I'm drinking 4x500ml 7%alcohol beers. Is it impacting my gains in negative way? If so why? Before drinking them i drink protein shake. Guy at work said it's good because of hydrstion and they used to drink beers during the gladiator times. I just want truth

You would have to drink like a 12 pacj a day for months for tge estrogen to be a problem. I used to be an addict, but now, in my 30s, my lifts take a noticable hit the next day after literally just a few beers.

>>76471807
why is that you feel it after 30? because of hormons?

Liver efficiency =Slower alcohol breakdown
Body water = Higher BAC per drink
Sleep disruption = Worse recovery, more fatigue
Cellular repair = Longer recovery time
Stress + life load = Alcohol effects are harder to buffer


But i also noticed in my 20s as well that oerformance goes down after just a few drinks.

probably depedns on a person bro, I'm 24 in october and to be honest aside from calming me down alcohol makes me sleep better, like i wake up after 4 hours read to work and more energetic than without it. i probab;y have adhd but doctors in my country are corrupted

If you’re bulking totally fine. Slam some beers after a heavy day, but try to get your cals and macros before drinking. I never noticed any problems like that. Maybe four, 7% every single day is much. Cut back to just 2-3, and don’t drink after every session. If you are cutting, or doing anything besides bulking I would not recommend it. Unless you got cals to spare at the end of the week

dehydration kills gains. You better drink water and some electrolytes

>A 500ml bottle of beer with 7.1% ABV contains 3.55 units of alcohol.
>The recommended weekly limit for alcohol consumption in the UK is no more than 14 units. It's also advised to spread this intake over three or more days and to have several alcohol-free days each week.

I used bong units because the american "drink" definition is retarded. basically, you're drinking way too much. even if we ignore the bongs advice (nation of alcoholics) you should drink no more than 3 times a week. and that's not a 4 pack each time. limit to one night of heavy drinking or spread it out. you'll become a full blown alcoholic at this rate. not a drunk who drinks too much randomly; you'll literally need alcohol to function. withdrawals are a bitch. good luck

I often drink four of these after training. If you don't want them to interfere with your gains wait about 3 hours after eating. Alcohol takes priority over food in your digestive system (your body want to get rid of the poison as fast as possible). So give your body time to absorb your food before asking it to process alcohol.

>>76471777 (OP)
Yes it's killing your gains. Alcohol impairs protein synthesis
Based choice of beer though

>Alcohol impairs protein synthesis
The studies showing this are on guys who get blackout drunk, which is virtually useless data to anyone who doesn't get blackout drunk.

I've developed a distaste for alcochol.

How can you drink that shit? It tastes like burnt barley and cold coffee with a teaspoon of sugar in it

>>76471777 (OP)
If you drink before lifting there's basically 0 detrimental effects besides water retention and passing out vitamins/salt

>>76473105
after drinking 4 beers i do pass out drunk so I guess i have to reduce the amount
>>76473641
I got used to them, sometimes I buy warka strong it's better but more expensive. I like Dzik Mocny the most and they are the cheapest, if you have amic card you only pay 3.30 for 3 of them but I prefer not to buy alcohol in the same store everyday so they don't think im alcoholic

>>76471807
Drinking in the long run causes liver damage and liver damage leads to elevated estrogen levels. That's why old alcoholics (and sometimes men in their 20s-30s) have round bellies and gyno

2,5 euro for 3 beers made for bums, Jesus Christ.

Strong beer sucks and tastes like dogshit. Anything higher than 5.5 is rotgut and you might as well be downing a little vodka flask. Last time I tried a strong lager it tasted like beer with a shot of vodka mixed in

>>76471777 (OP)
Fantastic post, I have to say. Based, even.

Cheers

>I just want truth
You are an alcoholic

>>76474282
It depends, I love Baltic porter, imperial stout, barley wine for it's taste and they are 9-22% strong. But I agree that +5% pils taste like vile

>>76471777 (OP)
Polish beer ist the worst. How does it come all YouTube neighbors have absolute superior beer, especialy Czechs.

>>76474371
I never developed a taste for stout. My personal choice is amber/red ale and Japanese lager

>>76474385
>Polish beer ist the worst.
>ist
seething kraut mad that Polish beer is getting popular

>>76474438
>he doesn't drink the superior Japanese beer
unit 731 and nanjing never happened btw

>>76474455
Kirin is the shit, sensibly strong and smooth

Is this the thread?

I don't drink it for taste retards. I usually chug one in one go standing behind a bus stop, next one on the way from the bus stop to home and 2 in my room. I do it very fast usually drink it in 2 minutes or less. Like i say i only drink to get better thoughts and i usually need them fast

Have you thought of checking with a psychiatrist? Don't mention the beer but do mention the thoughts

I had similar anxiety and what made it (mostly) go away was.... adderall

>>76475066
there is no adderall in my country. I tried getting metylophenidate but apparently you need to pay like half of the paycheck for the adhd diagnosis which they only do in big cities. I tried microdosing bath salts but it turned into a full blown addiction and taken 5 years from my life and i ended up in 20k debt which I will get out of next month, it is what it is I just try to go to gym everyday. I know it's just illusion of progress in life but I want to be big

>>76474438
Fuck Autokorrektur. But anyway I really haven't heard of Polish beer getting popular, but it's literally the only beer in Eastern Europe I cannot enjoy. Your cherry wodka liquor thing is fantastic though.

>>76475046

>>76475046
I used to do that until I started puking neat whiskey, vodka and rum on the same night. Now I drink beer with preferable taste

>>76471777 (OP)
It fucks your sleep up, its high in empty calories, it basically stops muscle protein synthesis to prioritize getting rid of the alcohol. Also nice cope. The mirrors make me anxious? What're you a fucking chimpanzee? Also you're home afterwards, just admit you have a drinking problem.
