I got a stupid question, that was propably asked a thousands

Workouts the day after suck regardless of any reduction in recovery or hormones. That is enough to hurt you. Or maybe I'm just too old at 26, but I always feel weaker after a night of drinking.

Liquor stops protein absorption. Not for 4 fucking days, but till it's out of your system.

Drinking every Saturday and working out 3-4 times during the week days wont really be a huge impact on your gains. That being said, it certainly wont help, and don't drink before a workout day.

I see now you'd only drink Saturday. If you can keep it to that only that, then the % of "gains" you'd lose is likely approaching insignificant assuming it's not an insane amount of alcohol every Saturday. Binge drinking once a week is still binge drinking, but I've done it this way and really don't see many problems as long as my diet is in check otherwise.

so basically if I work out mon-fri and drink after workut on saturday and have a day off on sunday I'm sorted (obviosuly cycling muscles grups so I don't train same muscels everyday)

>>41304184
Yes. You wont have a huge impact on gains, but again, it isn't good for them either.
Saturday/Sunday should be rest days with plenty of protein (following a normal workout cycle).

I am binge drinking. Every saturday I used to be shitfaced. I was coming home fck sideways. But now I'm starting to work out much more and was wondering if I have to quit completly.

>>41304184
You probably won't get the most out of your later workouts, but If you're training hard otherwise I don't think the protein synthesis scare is a huge problem. It's not ideal, but if you're just working out to work out and not competing, being a normal fucking human being and drinking every so often is worth sacrificing 20 grams of muscle gains a week or whatever.

It does counteract creatine.

>and was wondering if I have to quit completly.
If you ever get serious about lifting and make it a hobby, you may quit drinking naturally.
I was the same. Used to binge drink every weekend. Now I'm too paranoid about rest/recovery, calorie intake, protein intake, and so on. Only drink when I go out to a bar with bros.

So no point in taking it on friday and sunday? Or maybe friday is fine, since I start drinking at 11 at night so maybe the saturday gains are safe?

>>41304341
Don't overthink it, and don't over train trying to make up for it. If you're going to drink you're going to drink, just do your routine.

>>41304235
does any amount counteracts it? I mean what if I have one beer and an hour later I take creatine? Is this wasted creatine?
