I apologize in advance for the rant, BUT…
This post is in reference to the spate of alcohol and marijuana posts of late. Do you really need scientific studies discussing testosterone and lutenizing hormone to realize that too much of either will hurt your progress? Use your common sense. Both in moderation won’t necessarily hurt you too much. But to the alkies and potheads who want strenth and performance and a muscular, lean physique, you can forget about it. Marijuana helping concentration and intensity during workouts is entirely subjective. Marijuana alters perception. Perception and reality are very different. I’ve been high and hanging out with friends and felt like the ideas I was tossing out were revolutionary and complex.
But how many here have ever been sober and hanging out with a group of mostly high people. They sound like fucking idiots. I also call bullshit on using it to eat more. You shouldn’t need to-just learn how to bulk properly. Alcohol has a lot of calories, and if it did nothing to hormones, it would crowd out room for nutrients the body can actually use. Smoking and drinking sometimes is not the end of the world. But don’t think either will actually further your goals.
