As a skinny bastard looking for hidden calories, similar to Arnold’s early days, could you use beer as a bulking device post workout?
On another note, what’s your opinion? Milk or beer for men?
‘Milk is for babies, beer is for men’
‘To help bulk, you should try drinking a gallon of milk a day’
alcohol can affect lipolysis and protein synthesis, although a small amount would probably be negligible. I do not see alcohol as being beneficial to a bulk, i would try to go for an abundance of quality calories with the occasional cheat meal.
The calories in beer would do next to nothing for muscle mass and depending on the quantity hurt your progress. If your implying on having a gallon of beer a day to help bulk, don’t expect muscle weight.
anyone got any fail pics?
Milk is for babies… I drink Beer!!
Yea and Arnold was always trying to psych out the competition…
He used to do almost nothing in the gym with people he knew saying that he did not need to workout hard, but after they would leave he would train like a beast alone…
Any way Beer=Beer belly not muscle belly…
Just eat jelly belly beans for your post workout insulin spike while your at it…
Beer is best for bulking during a workout. Try lifting a full keg.
Nothing wrong with having some beers once in a while but as a staple while bulking…definatly not.
I want to try working out drunk just once for the experience…too bad I have to drive to my gym.

Hooray for stupidity.
I have also read articles that alcohol lowers testosterone, though I don’t know which articles specifically.
surely low T levels can’t hinder progress.

Hulk Hogan said he had one of his best workouts while tipsy.

try not to let the barbell/dumbell crush your skull when you lose your grip in your happy state
I’m sorry but I couldnt resist laughing at the name of the thread: Beer for bulking. Yeah beer has the power of putting a gut on a individual. I would go with milk.

I sell a shitload of these types of products in the UK because so many of the males there have tits because they consume so much beer. Beer is that estrogenic. Now, before someone asks, if you must drink, red wine actually prevents aromatization. Pinot noir or merlot are good choices. You don’t see tits on men in France.[/quote]

that reminds me of a story…working out in the Gold’s Gym years ago on a saturday morning. Enormous sumbitch walked in, visibly drunk or pill’d up.
I mean this guy was huge…used to shoot up test in the locker room at Gold’s. Just big, puffy and strong as an ox. At any rate, he shows up all fired up, raising hell wanting to workout…I think he might have had an impromptu bet going with another dude that was with him??
Sort of “I can squat more than you can” kind of thing.
So he loads up the bar with what must’ve been 400+ lbs to do some squats. Unracks, steps backward and just falls over backward, crashing the whole thing down behind him.
the bad part was the bar bounced back and hit him in the head…opened up a nasty gash 
lucky he didn’t do any damage to anyone/anything around him
