How Bad Is Alcohol for Your Gains?
Notas do episódio
Most of us already know that alcohol can have bad consequences for our health, but how much will a couple of drinks after a workout affect our bodies' ability to recover and build new muscle mass? And what about binge drinking?
That's what we're here to find out, and in this episode, we dive headfirst into umbrella cocktails in search of answers to what alcohol does to our muscle growth, hormones, and fat storage. We discuss the studies that have looked at alcohol consumption and strength training, and offer our recommendations on this hotly debated and sensitive topic.
Cheers!
