some of my friends swear by lifting high…
Damn, talk about melodramatic.
I drank some, lifted weights, felt strong. I’m weaker than most of you, big deal. Save the crying for your spouses.
Glad to see at least a few of you here have some brain cells left. Also glad that I’m not the only one who has noticed some strength increase.
Ok, continue the idiocy…
It probably helps a little due to the increase in pain tolerance…why the fuck do you think people drank a hell of a lot before getting an amputation? It’s a painkiller. Not a very good one, but one nonetheless. Anyone who’s ever taken a punch to the face both when drunk and sober knows that. Plus I bet the famous ego boost from the “liquid courage” would help too…added confidence=bigger lifts.
Not saying I endorse it or have done it, it’s pretty much a cop out. You can be that intense while sober, it just takes a little more focus. And good luck trying to do any complicated lifts while buzzed.
My 2 cents.

Hence I am an idiot for reading it again but it’s like a fucking car wreck.
205 pound explosive squat? Wow.
You drank some wine and went to work out.
Wine? What a dork. I would have hit the tequila.[/quote]
lol, nice.
It was actually at a friend’s house after a wedding reception. He happened to have a gym room. I felt like lifting some weights. I had a good time. You should try it sometime.

Sorry I don’t buy your bullshit.
You stated the following…Whenever I get drunk I like to test my strength bla bla bla…
You also said you do not work out consistently and would rather play ball or some nonsense like that.
It’s almost sounds like you lift weights solely on the occasions that you are drunk. Or challenge friends to feats of strength contests.
Listen…Drinking and driving and drinking and weightlifting have something in common.
When lifting weights you need your coordination to be spot on.
Driving the car is the same.
The difference is that in a car you are a menace to others while lifting while drunk you are only a menace to yourself and your spotter (who has a gym at home and frequently spots drunken friends after wedding receptions).
If you think you are stronger then you probably are…you know why?
Because you haven’t lifted enough in your life and your lifts are half effort at best. Put in 6 months of intense and dedicated lifting without layoffs and then get shitfaced and try to better your max lifts. You won’t do it.
It’s newbie lifters like you who write shit like this and expect a clap on the back for “research well done”.
I would bet that you don’t lift more than once a week and that is when you think you are being consistent.
Just the impression I get from your posts. Sorry.

While I appreciate the concern, you are sorely mistake about my life. Thanks though.
You can’t possibly know me from reading two posts. If you don’t want to believe me, then so be it.
If you were right that would mean that I’ve worked out about 5 times since Jaunaury 2005, because that is the amount of times I’ve been drunk since that date.
Historically, I workout with weights 2-3 times a week. I play basketball another 2 times per week.
You have to realize that it is very hard to judge people on the internet. I post a lot of crazy shit but I don’t think about this crazy shit all the time. It’s just fun to get my ideas out there. It’s very odd to me how hostile a lot of you are.
It reminds me of the Roman Catholic Church and it’s resistance to any contrarion thought, long ago.
Here’s to hoping a few of you will get those sticks out of yer asses…
