is drinking alcohol really that awful on cycle?

[AlphaMaleDawg]

just wondering how bad drinking alcohol truly is on cycle. like what effects does it have on gains, health, side effects, etc?

[Papa Smurf]

I think drinking, and smoking as well, would be counterproductive to any one spending the time or money to cycle

[TRT,MAN]

well yes it does cause stress on liver which depending on what form of anabolics your doing that can too. so thats a down side their. if your wanting to get in shape why would you be drinking anyways? it will mess up gains. not very smart.

[Papa Smurf]

But, with that said, I had three Crown and Cokes last nite at the tittie bar with some customers and I had a great back workout today!

You don't need the extra strain on your liver. And I always feel like I've lost all my gains during the week if I drink heavy on the weekend.

[T-MOS]

everything in moderation

It will effect your gains
It will stress already stressed organs
It adds unnecessary calories

But if your not competing, then enjoy life, but IN MODERATION
if your gonna get wasted every weekend, then you shouldn't be using steroids to begin with

[c-Z]

Damn you mean I shouldn't be pounding down captains all weekend.... I thought it was a good source of protein!? LMAO ROFL JK PEOPLE JK. IT WAS A JOKE

[Papa Smurf]

From a diet stand point, last nite was definetly my "cheat day" if ya know what I mean!

[AlphaMaleDawg]

my drinking binging days are kind of over since I graduated college a year ago. now i might go out and drink somewhat big twice per month. if i did a cycle, it would be a beginner cycle of test-e (500mg) with nolva for pct. does it make a different whether its during the test or during the pct?

[-Ender-]

^no^

I think you might try to limit yourself on cycle as plan before hand but you'll get so involved with your cylce you'll want to drink even less because of the hard work you're putting in you dont want any setbacks....at least way it is for me and some others i know

you were at the tittie bar what were you cheatin' on exactly?? LOLOL

[ninesecz]

How old are you?? this is another reason why the advice on here is to wait until you are at least 25! Another reason 25 is a good baseline is because by the time most of us are 25.. we have got most of the drinking and partying out of the system and have no problem sacrificing alcohol for the sake of huge "guns"

[Tigershark]

The stress on your liver is a bad idea. And like T-Mos said you are putting useless calories into your body which takes away from you accomplished in the gym.

[Immortal Soldier]

Besides dehyrdating the muscle, reducing protein synthesis, and leading to catabolism here is just a little tid bit for all you who run compounds that aromatize:

Alcohol hinders the ability of the liver to remove excess estrogen from the body (techinically there estrogenic derivatives), meaning that if you get "wasted" or put liquor in your body (shots, rum, vodka, whatever) than the liver will go through a peroid of time where it won't be able to remove excess estrogen as proficently as it could do before. Now factor in that is for "normal people" imagine what happens when you have steroids in your system that aromatize (such as test).

So what side effects could that lead to? Bloating and worst of development of gyno, I mean what better time to have gyno develop than when the body can't reduce the amount of excess estrogen that is circulating.


So while 2-3 drinks per week won't kill you (as long as you arent running orals), it is counterproductive.

nice info man

Whens the prodigy next fight?

[Charger527]

its ok to have a few as in three standard drinks imo, but most people are not going to feel any effects from three so why not just miss it all together, get soft drink in a short glass...

[Lightsout2184]

all i have to say is that i drink on cycle and still get big. i drink like once a week sometimes twice depending on whats going on. you only live once and when u die that extra drink is not gonna matter so u might as well enjoy it now.

Hey Brit_Anal

Yes , from a couple of months ago, i will change the pic sometime soon with what he looks like now...

[killagorilla187]

I believe having a few drinks will not hinder gains (few) There are many studies stating that a drink or two daily is actually good for your body, as weird as it sounds. But excess drinking is obviously horrible for you.

[Reed]

For me once I stopped the weekend drinking is when I was able to start making fast improvements and take myself to the next level (still got another couple of levels to go ). Just depends on your goals and how far you want to take your physique. If you're for real about getting to the next level then every opportunity should be use for growth and recovery.

I still go out I just chose not to drink and when I do its on a rare occasion, birthday, new years. My goals are set to high and I don't want anything slow me down cause it will and for me just weekend drinking slows me down BIG TIME. I'm talking BIG TIME.

Just depends, I'd continue but then I'd catch heat cause of who I believe should be juicing or not

[chuckt12345]

happy hour after work btches,, cant wait to blow this popsicle stand and start the wkend.

[skinnykenney]

How much bigger might you get if you did not drink? and man with that theory of we only live once seems that you would want to jab yourself with a couple grams of test every week. as you say, you only live once!

[bene7422]

a couple drinks every once in a while won't hurt but for me every time I've drank when on a cycle I feel completely horrible the next day,it's like I have a huge hangover that last all day long that's why I don't drink at all anymore

thinking you might not want to say things like that in this thread

Man I wonder how bad i ****ed up my liver I was taking 100mg of anadrol ed with 800 mg of deca and 1000 mg of test a week and drinking heavy everyday for maybe 3 months at least a 26 a day often more I quit drinking and its been a while now I wonder if that could have caused any permanent damage

[xo3et]

Liver problems and concerns must be priority, i have had 1 night of drinking '6 beers' when running Hdrol cycle. I had little option as it was for the passing of a friend so wanted to in a way.

But apart from that, drinking is a no no for me.

I'm with on that bro


Especially trying to be a competitor, gotta use every opportunity in the day to encourage growth and recovery

[2jz_calgary]

A few beers on a cheat day is ok i think. I wouldent be gettin hammered or drinking regularly, and i prolly wouldent drink while takin orals.

[jpl315]

suk it up and don't drink

[warchild]

who knows

[killagorilla187]

A had a few glasses of wine last night with a lady friend and drank plenty of water during the night. She kept asking me what i was doing while chugging glasses of water, lol.

I think staying up all night with her and not getting enough sleep is worse than a few drinks!

[MattUK666]

What the hell is a tittie bar? God England sucks.....
