Wtf is that gyno
Loose skin from an obese past. Where's your body?
well done m8
Where's the gyno?
anyone who benches more than 140 lbs on this board has gyno according to this board
It's not like the worst case ever but OP actually does look like he has a bit, I'm usually one to call out the fake gyno bullshitters but I can see a little in this case. That or just really weird pec jnsertions.

Alcohol (and anything that ruins sleep) is terrible
It's not just about binge drinking. A single beer can disrupt your sleep and therefore your recovery, people who have a small amount every night are screwing themselves over even if they think they're safe from binge drinking
Everyone focuses on the hangover or the drunk pig-eating because it's the most surface level but the sleep damage is the real gains goblin.
Yeah, there's a reason why most college sports teams have a "dry season"
The other factor is alcohol disrupting liver function in the short term. When there's a couple of drinks in you your liver prioritizes purging your system of the alcohol so it can't properly process other things in your system, such as food.
nice breast cancer
For the love of god, do some fasting to get rid of that loose sack of estrogen.
Post body homosexual. I did enough fasting, losing 40kg of fat. Fasting doesn't make your loose skin magically disappear

not lifting
Just drink in moderation while eating a good meal and keep yourself hydrated. It's not that hard, amerimutt. Control yourself.
>Amerimutt
Aren’t basically all Europeans semi-functional alcoholics? Drinking culture over there is arguably even bigger than in America.
it's most likely worst since europeen alcohol is not that watered down like american's but at least meds know how to do it with a healthy mindset unlike the nordcucks
I'm pretty sure a hop bomb double IPA would kill the average Euro.
Beer is for fatsos who drink their calories and have to lie to themselves that it tastes good because every low stock male in their family was raised on it
Maybe I’m mistaken but I thought liquor wienertails weren’t that popular in the UK. Don’t they mostly just have beer or wine?
There's only 8.7% alcohol in that shit how the frick would a basic ass IPA kill anyone ?
American beer is like having sex on a boat, fricking close to water.
dont include us scandis with germoids and anglos. drinking culture is not that crazy here in scandinavia. teens like to get liquor drunk once every other weekend, and then people chill out after their early twenties. boomers do drink a decent amount at home, though.
There are people that drink bit more but i wouldnt call them alcoholics most of us drink only on friday but recenlty i bought placatka and been sipping out of it during school breaks with cigs
Pic rel is what i mean by placatka idk how you call it
Its a hip flask.
buff alcoholics exist
Alcohol directly interferes with gains so its hard to beat it but I rank soda up there too.
>Soda ruins gains
This board is becoming more low IQ every day.
How does a sugary drink that’s high in empty calories not ruin gains? A single 12oz can of Coca-Cola has 150 calories and 39g of sugar.
ketolards
>not dumping 200g of simple sugar in your body daily makes you a ketolard
I consume carbs, just not hyper-palatable sugary foods on a regular basis.
They're not empty calories at a caloric maintenance/deficit.
Sure, but you’re better off mostly avoiding them and choosing more nutritious options.
Doesn't excessive sugar frick with hormonal balances through insulin activity and fat gain?
Absolutely yes. Being fat ruins gains obviously.
Yeah, insomnia
Depends on how addicted you are I suppose. I wouldn’t be tempted to down 12 beers in the same way that I could eat a whole sleeve of cookies. Sweets are way worse of a vice for me.
Why would cakes or candy ruin your gains? Do you know what you're talking about?
See
. Too easy to binge. I could eat six donuts along with a half gallon of milk easily. Makes you feel sluggish as frick.
Yes, it could make you fat. But it won't hinder muscle growth, it will actually help it.
I have a hard time believing that empty calorie, sugar and carb heavy pastries help with muscle growth, anon.
Sugar ages you.
Had a few too many vodka waters this weekend just happy I didn’t pig out on food while plastered
This is the real reason alcohol kills gains imo. Drinking makes me want to stuff my face with pizza and wings.
Not true alcohol kill gains only if your not working out enough
Drank 19 beers last night, blacked out, ate a whole pack of chocolate and 3 packs of kimchi noodles with tons of sriracha right before bed. Woke up at 6am and my esophagus was on fire, slept til noon and cant get off my couch. Missed the gym again
Alcohol and soda are gay as frick
You've never tried lifting while intoxicated and it shows, live a little you moron
non-alcoholic beers are getting better (not perfect though) and it's not such a bad post workout recovery drink
I typically have a Bud Zero post-workout. Way better feeling than cracking a Miller Lite or something with alcohol.
When I drank I would drink beer until I was tipsy enough for shots, then get piss hammered and order pizza and wings and whatever else the drunk child in my body wanted. Alcohol can 100% be a gains goblin.
Non alcoholic beer is interesting, it's gotten a lot better in recent years (although bud zero is not great, IMO) but it really highlights the fact that alcohol compels you to drink more of it. You can't possibly drink a half dozen non alcoholic beers in a night, but people would certainly drink that many alcoholic beers.
When I have a NA beer, I can't drink more than one usually, not because they're not good.
Well 24 pack of beer is 8 litres / 2.1 gallons. Imagine drinking that amount of Coca Cola or orange juice. Even water would be tough. You can easily sip case of beer within 24h.
Ok but are garlic wings even that bad for you tbh? Not great sodium wise but macro wise not terrible
I mean there are worse options but I'm sticking to ~1600cal a day so 6 wings plus a small pizza just fricks my shit entirely
Whats the point of dinking no alco tho?
Your brains are used to demand beer to relax. Non-alcohol beer actually fools your brain for a while thinking it actually gets it dopamine fix and produce that wonderful "first beer buzz". (Everyone knows that one beer alcohol doesn't even have slightest change to absorb to before your brain rewards you.)
>TLDR: non-alcohol beer actually relaxes normal beer drinkers more than coca cola.
weed
>Used by the top fastest swimmer and the top fastest runner
>Le bad
It's easily the least harmful "vice" even after junk food. Just don't smoke it and don't do it before going to sleep or going to work.
>Just don't smoke it
You do edibles only? Those things make me moronic.
Edibles and vape (by heating buds, not from cartridge). Edibles are hard to dose properly.
Weed is fricking terrible for you.
>le swim man does it
That has nothing to do with fricking anything.
It's not great cause it makes you more docile/demotivated, but if you're not doing it before sleep or smoking it, it doesn't kill gains.
>if you're not doing it before sleep or smoking it, it doesn't kill gains.
Enjoy your loss of bone density.
>it doesn't kill gains.
Cannabis lowers test and burns out your dopamine/endocannabinoid receptors making it harder to do literally everything even when sober. For anyone smoking it more than once a week it is a gains goblin and even that is a lot.
It is objectively better to do it as far from sleep as possible though you are right about that
It doesn't lower test or burn our your dopamine receptors lmao. Where do you clowns get this stuff, your ass?
Nta but it does lower testosterone, except it's indirect. It severely fricks up your REM sleep, which in turn has negative effects on testosterone production and cognitive function.
Fricking up your REM sleep once in a while is no biggie. Fricking up your REM sleep several times a week will gradually turn you into a moron
yeah bro anything that floods you with instant massive amounts of dopamine doesn't affect your overall dopamine sensitivity lmao like what are those clowns smoking? our bodies make cannabinoids naturally lol that means theyre good for you bro like theyre natural lmao those studies showing it reduces test are just made up bro to stop us blaaazing it lol i didnt even read them pass the bong bro lmao damn its heavy bro whuuaaa i need to lie down but its not the bong bro im like this when im sober lol lmao
>durr beer LE BAD
Literally the greatest strongest men in history all drank beer and other alcoholic drinks
no they didn't, you mistake video games from real life
>all drank beer and other alcoholic drinks
They drank unhopped maximum 2% alcohol fermented grain-water, which would be unrecognizable today.
>glug glug glug
>Is there anything worse than alcohol? It ruins everything, far more than cakes or candy
cigarettes
Cigs don't make you fat and moronic
I love this video, puts in very clear language what happens when you drink to all of the systems of your body. If you watch this and still think it's harmless in "moderate amounts" you are willfully ignorant:
>Is there anything worse than alcohol?
women
Have one vodka+oj, then stick with vodka on the rocks for the rest of the night.
Hit my bench pr the morning after drinking 10 pints and never hit it again even after months of extra training.
Alcohol is literally anti-fitness
>Steal healthy food calories by irritating bowels
>Is full of easily absorbed sugar calories
>Uses up electrolytes
>Impedes protein synthesis
>Spikes cortisol
>Spikes insulin
>Kills test
>Makes perfect conditions in the body for high estrogen
Drinking: not even once
Even weed is better than alcohol
I was a pretty bad alcoholic for 5 or so years. I have quit completely and been working out for 5+ months and it's taking forever to get all the fat from the beer I accumulated off of me. I do lots of cardio every gym session too.
Don't drink alcohol.
Extra calories never hurt my gains, I'm on the endless bulk.
All alcohols are not the same. Sure beer can frick with your abs, no doubt. BUT
-Straight mezcal has like 50 calories and is pure.
-New botanical gins are fantastic.
Just watch the sugar in the mixtures and drink high quality,
The alcohol is the unhealthy part, not the bread/herb water.
One shot of mezcal is 116 calories
So why are alcoholics at the local bar all skinny as frick? Never seen an obese alcoholic.
>Never seen an obese alcoholic.
Legit can't tell if serious
Beer=fat
Heavy alcohol=skinny
why do powershitters and roidtrannies refuse to just not drink alcohol? is it cause it will help their gyno so they beome women
how badly are my gains annihilated if i get vodka smashed once every two-three months and not a single drop of alcohol other than that?
im fasting rn (on a 16/8 leangain during Ramadan) and I notice my lifts were shit when I ate a ton of fried foods the day before for iftaar during a family meetup after refusing to eat that stuff for most of Ramadan. I usually eat hulled barley lamb broth porridge for bulk during the 6 hours eating window, which provided me with a ton of energy for morning gym. But the only time I indulged in desi/Arab fried shit, I couldnt even do 3 sets of my main compound exercises. I just kept gassing out.
So fried processed foods is probably preddy bad too.
A little alcohol every couple days is good for cardiovascular performance. And I do mean a LITTLE. One or two shots of something hard, no beer.
Lifting if your face is ugly is moronic.
You still won't get women, you wasted your time and if you go to prison you are way more likely to get raped.
Just fatmaxx and buy prostitutes and if you die early even better
love me a good beer after a hike/5K. Alcohol is shit thanks to the culture of it in the US; too many people get addicted to it and its seen as okay and even something desirable (think of all the suave alcoholics on TV).
Drinking in moderation is fine imo. It doesn't ruin gains unless you drink constantly.
I homebrew beer. I drink a beer or two on the weekends, rarely on the weekdays unless its some sort of celebration.
I also love wienertails, but I have to go to wienertail bar for that, which I do like once every month or 2. Rarely my fiance and I like to get shitfaced while cooking dinner and end up just being silly drunks together and drunk-fricking later, but we're too old to do that shit more than once in a blue moon (hangovers).
In moderation I found no impact on my strength gains honestly. Sugar/preprocessed food has wrecked my shit far more often.
I cannot cope with life without liquor
Frick drinking. Never had a moment I don’t regret on alcohol.
>Is there anything worse than alcohol
drugs. weed included
