Alcohol vs muscle gains!!
Regardless of the excuse, alcoholic beverages will affect several systems in our body that influence muscle mass gain, from the endocrine system to the digestive system. Leaving your body in a catabolic state during and after drinking. Not to mention the indirect effects that can make you unable to train and eat properly due to a hangover or because of things you may have done under the influence of alcohol (the famous moral hangover). But it is worth remembering that this does not mean that everyone who touches a glass of alcohol will suffer all possible harm. The effects described in the text have a direct connection with the amount of alcoholic beverage ingested. As already stated at the beginning of the text, a person who drinks sporadically and moderately (without reaching the point of drunkenness) will hardly notice any difference in their gains as a result of drinking alcohol. Even a sporadic binge (once every several months) may not make a difference. A person who drinks frequently and finds themselves suffering from a hangover almost every weekend is certainly delaying their gains and could have a better body if they reduced or avoided alcohol. “Screw it, I’ll keep drinking” Feel free. The aim of the text is not to “convert” anyone to a life without alcohol through psychological terrorism. Drinking (or not) is a personal choice that involves many factors, especially social life. The sole objective of the text is to show that mixing alcoholic drinks with bodybuilding can delay your results regardless of your choice. Therefore, if changing your body is something important to you, then, in this case, it may be better to leave alcoholic drinks aside. Unfortunately, we cannot have everything we want in life at the same time, it is necessary to make choices and prioritize what is most important to you.
Glass of white wine per day still ok even if you are on heavy cycle, keeps you relaxed and helps sleep.
