Me and my two fagfuk friend have picked up our training quit a bit over the past 4 months. Here is what our routine looks like as of right now:
MON and FRIDAYs we do WS4SB3, after which, we do shuttle runs, and 8 x 100yard sprints.
Tues and Thursdays we do long distance running in the hills, followed by punch out drills on the heavy bag. finished off with 100 sprinter sit ups.
Wednsday we do legs with heavy bag punch out drills…
Saturday - VANITY DAY!! 100 pushups/chins/dips followed by 2 mile run.
Sunday - we dont do shit…we’re usually hung over…
We’ve seen significant gains but there are a few problems. Which leads me to my next point…
We drink HEAVILY on the weekends. We try to consume as much liqour as humanly possible before passing out. In here lies the problem:
I say, this is hindering our progress EXTREMLY!!
my jack ass friend says we’re young and its indian summer part 5, why cant we just enjoy the prime of our lives!!
stella on the other hand, thinks we should moderate it all and we can gain just fine…
so my questions are…
how is our work out routine? cool? no?
Can we afford to drink? will it harm our progress?
Thanks for taking the time to read through my long ass tale of bullshit.
how is our work out routine? cool? no?[/quote]
That’s quite a bit of work, but if you’re making progress then stick with it.
I don’t know your financial situation.
If you’re getting that hammered every weekend, it can definitely slow down your progress. It will downright sabotage your work if you’re trying to lose fat.
The liquor isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, so there’s no need to drink all of it every weekend.
Training is good (assuming ur goals are just to be more overall healthy and not fat)
Alcohol hurts protein synthesis, so your body is gonna be struggling to recover from all the stress you put it under the past weekend. Binge drinking (which you do when your in college) is even worse for it.
You have to look at your goals and your lifestyle. If your not that serious about training , not competiting in powerlifting or bodybuilding, and just want to be healthy (even though binge drinking hurts this)and be not fat, then I would say you are ok. Again, you are hurting your gain of mass, and hindering recovery, but if you become too strict for no reason, then you will lose fun and motivation and may drop fitness all together
All things in moderation, keep up the work, eat a good diet and take BCAAs to help recover (both muscles and liver hahaha), but enjoy your youth, until you decide to take your training more seriously
you’re right - drinking huge amounts in one go will hinder your progress. All your body’s recovery focus is on detoxing the poison not on building stamina and strength.
The fact you are progressing is because you’re young. It isnt a sign that your body is left unscathed by the damage. ‘jack ass’ is only right in the sense that you can have the illusion of getting away with it for awhile.
Stella is realistic.
As for your routine - thinking of joining a military outift or something?
Seems like you’re only drinking Sat night so it isn’t bad if you’re training the other 6 days a week. That really ain’t binge drinking. In school 2 yrs ago when I wasn’t as serious about working out I’d drink up to 4 nites a week…i’ve cut it down to Thurs and Sat. though hehe
I’ve always wondered if there is something (supplement or not) that will you can take before/after drinking that will help protein synthesis revamp. I’m not talking about to help the hangover either (i have that downnn), but something where you won’t really lose as much muscle by drinking til you pass out. Anybody with any ideas? BCAA’s (lol)? Wouldn’t really wanna drink a protein shake before takin shots.

I used to drink every Friday and saturday night without fail. I was 16/17 and it was just the thing to do.
Im 19 now almost 20, I dont enjoy it as much as I used to, and I have got more serious about training in the last year or two.
I still go out for a drink once or twice a month, and I usually have a bottle of wine plus 4 or 5 beer.
You have to train hard, but its good for the mind to have fun and let go.[/quote]
Well said! I was the same when you get older however you mature and you realize its just a waste of a day! Im 21 and I’l probly get drunk maby 1-2 times a monthe and thats about it!
Evaluate your goals again and see if you really need to be drinking that often, However you training look real good!
Drink dude, just don’t b stupid about it. Alcohol is a poison, too much can kill you, and it’s sure as hell not going to make you any smarter. Stella’s got the right idea. With your workload, progress would come much more quickly without all the booze.
When I cut I try to stick to drinking rum, with only 60 calories per shot its not as calorie dense as beer. I dont understand why on earth would you want to drink until you pass out?
I go out every weekend and consume a fair ammount of alcohol but I do it to have a good time with friends. Drinking till you pass out if you ask me is down right retarted.
Wow, in a nutshell, this thread is why we have the t-cell.
Guys, I drink till I pass out once a week, if you guys tell me it’s ok, I’ll keep doing it and wonder why my bicep curl numbers don’t keep going up. If you tell me it’s not ok, I’ll probably listen to my dumbass friend who says we should keep doing it and wonder why my bicep curl numbers don’t keep going up.
To throw this out there, do what YOU want to do with training/partying regardless of what your two little training/drinking buddies opinions are. You’re using “our” and “us” in places that make it seem like you guys are siamese twins or something, sheesh.
I think we’re going to cut back on the liqour consumption. And try not to be really fkin boring.
We’re going to stick to this program for the next 4-6 weeks. Then we’re looking to change it or tweek it a bit.
I had another question regarding our post workout shake. Is it ok to put peanut butter in our Post workout shake? We usually work out pretty late (8pm)so i’m wondering if that “good fat” is being used well…
depends on what time to go to bed, what your diet is looking the rest of the day.
If you are doing maintance or bulking, all you need is some whey and some simple carbs right after you work out. If you want to add peanut butter, at your level in the game, its not gonna to much of a difference. If your gonna do that, then I would make sure it is all natural peanut butter (ingredients: peanuts, salt). But again, all you need is a good whey, some simple carbs, try to throw in BCAAs, and glutamine if cutting. Before bed, eat cottage cheese or have a casein shake (dont add peanut butter to that shake)
I wouldnt get to strung up about fats like that at night, esp if ur pounded brew the other nights of the week. Healthy fats from peanut butter will beat out the carbs and toxins from a case of Natty Light and half a fifth of Valdi any time
#1. Troll. (if you want help on here, come correct and don’t sound like a total moron) #2. PWO shake with peanut butter; not the best idea. PWO you want protien and carbs, not protein and fat.
and answer the question: “what is a fagfuk”
i’d make an attempt at answering but i think the mods would delete/edit my answer.
