Training drunk?

[jimm]

The exact mecanisms I don't know, but a lot of drugs and stimulants works and "enhance" physical performance and what biological prosess did nature miss out in case of those I must ask? Using small doses of alchohol or other stimulants in sport is nothing new...

i was just gonna come on here and say fuck this thread but you have a valid point!

Alcohol isn't a stimulant. But that's beside the point.

So, just to clarify, you're saying that:
1. Ingesting ethanol will result in a more optimal workout?
2. You don't know why?

Depending. Many bodybuilders included myself has reported better PUMP and endurance after ingesting alcohol before workout or in the morning the day after a night of drinking. Taking a couple of shot of hard licor or some wine backstage before pumping up before a show is not unheard of either. It definitly works for some of us. Why does it work? I guess its because alcohol relaxes arteries and capillaries among other possible reasons...

BB's drink red wine before they take the stage to bring out vascularity.

Training drunk is just stupid and so is this thread...

Pretty Goddam Laughable!

I wouldn't do it.

But I can see why the buzz from alcohol could help some people train.

It's more about the state of mind than the physiology behind it.

Just back from the gym; got a hell of a pump after putting 1.5 OZ of Bacardy Rum in my pre-workout shake together with 1 scoop of brewers yeast and 2 tea spoon of nescafe. I also took 125 mg of aspirine. I have good experience using those things together, but I do not always take alcohol before working out...

I don't drink when i lift i'm jacked enough off preworkouts, but i guess whatever floats your boat lol.

Dude, alcohol is a drug like any other. You were just high and so you felt less pain, strain, and could do more. It's as simple as that.
