Maybe every other.

If i'm not in competition and right now i'm just trying to bulk is this ok if i drink a casein shake prior to drinking.

I dont know your body but i know that after a weekend of drinking, it takes about a week for my body and energy to recover and hit the level it was before i drank. So basically, I look at it as a week gone down the drain. It makes the long road ahead of me even longer. Something i cant afford. So im even more strict about not drinking now.

If youre lifting intensely youre gonna notice the drawbacks a lot more. It doesnt make me a happy man thats for sure.

Why would you want to set yourself back week after week?? You cant be a serious bodybuilder and maintain a regular drinking habit in my opinion.

Maybe my body is just that much more sensitive to that shit.

Just my perspective


PS: never heard of casein shakes before, who makes them??

[JaKKd up]

lots of companies make casein shakes. Its just a type of protein like Whey but the difference is it is slower absorbing.
Also how much do you drink? I mean if you are waking up the next day hung over naked on your front lawn then yea i would cut back but its ok to have a few pops every weekend or so mostly in your bulking phase.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Next question

[aefx2387]

between 2-3 isn't gonna kill you, personally if your around the highschool - college age like im guessing then your drinking to get drunk and not for the taste, so the heavy amounts is really gonna set you back and i don't find it worth it if your a competitive bodybuilder, if your just a gym rat, then go ahead but limit yourself

[mindstar]

it slows metabolism (for up to 48 hours I've read) and raises estrogen levels, not to mention the empty calories and often sugary colas it's served with...unless you're talking about a glass of wine once in a while I'd say that you should probably just stay away. Not super fun, I know, but regular drinking is a body killer.

Haha same! *high five's Mak*
Well I only really drink once or twice a month, I don't see it as setting me back. I see it as (and yeah I'm proably wrong but meh) that that amount of time(s) a month won't really give you major setbacks. It's like if you only lifted weights twice a month, nothin much would happen, I think the same with drinking.

It makes me sleep easier at night :)

Rolemodel


EDIT: one or two drinks is ok but after that u satrt to effect your test levels in a negative way. They go down the drunker u are. And they take a while to go back up on their own, a week or so. u know the restrictions your setting, but if u wanna go ahead an kick it thats your choice, but it will effect gains if u have more than 2. One drink is perfect, bc it helps relax your veins and allows mor blood to pump through. 2 ok u still ok but not as good for u as the first one, and beyond that your hurting tets production. Keep in mind also if u take a lot of supps your liver has to metabolize that, and alcohol is poisinous mind u. just laid a few facts out so u can make the best decision for yourself bro.
