I am looking for some hard core no BS FACTUAL NOT TRENDY OR CONTROVERSIAL info regarding alchohol on how it hurts workout progress

I'm sure there's a bunch of ways, however one of them is that it affects production of testosterone. And of course there's the obvious: the next day you are dehydrated, you probably don't eat right, and probably miss workouts.

First of all, alcohol poisons your body...kind of the opposite of working out, which is to improve your body... and you body uses some of its energy that could go into rebuilding to now filter and rid yourself of this poison.



Like radu said, you have a hangover, need to recover and miss workouts, which will obviously hinder your growth.



There is also hystotoxic hpyoxia, basically you workout will be less intense workouts, less oxygen, less recovery.



It you drink every now and then, it probably isn't a huge deal. It all depends on your goals. If you want to be better than your competing peers, then alcohol will probably slow your progress. If you can afford 100% oxygen and top shelf liquor and lots of water and vitamins, that is your best bet to have 'the best of both worlds", but will cost big $$$. But then again if you could afford all of that without drinking, that guy would still probably progess faster/further than the guy drinking.

What he said ^^^







If you're actually dedicated to making huge gains, then alcohol is out of the question. That's it. If you're not all about maximum gains for a bodybuilding competitio... drinking now and then doesn't hurt too much.
