Working Out Hungover

[papasmurf2217]

Provided you drink enough water before and after...

-Good to help sweat out the toxins

or

-Bad for overall bodily recovery?

seems to me if you ingest adequate hydration and protein (now that protein synthesis is operational) it wouldnt be horrible. i have to say though, finding the energy and willpower would be the toughest part..

Uh... I think it might also depend just HOW hungover you're talking lol. Like, head-achey/sleepy/lethargic? Prolly no harm done hitting the gym. Puking/dizzy/feel-like-you've-been-hit-by-a-mac-truck-10x-over? I'd say skip it (which would prolly also be appreciated by your fellow gym-goers, too haha)

I have a friend who swears he gets the best pumps drunk. Hahahahaha. He's not belligerent, but defiantly got the drunk going on.

I actually just mixed up my purple wraath and am sitting here hungover trying to muster up the balls to go do this damn thing

hah tell him to have fun digesting that protein shake im sure he is having right afterwards

[BigDRed]

You guys have a lot more balls than I do. Whenever I am hungover I simply can't find any motivation or willpower to work out. Maybe the reason why I have severely limited myself to getting plastered 1 time a month lol.

Lol thanks for the input...I went this morning before I posted this and was just curious if I was doing my body any good or just wasting my time. It wasn't a horrible hangover, more tired than anything and my lifts were definitely not on par. I usually just take a day off if I drink the night before but I was dead set on doing legs today so I went anyways haha.

[nocal00]

this is why an off day must be saturday or sunday considering one of those morning is bound to be rough lol

I just go to the gym an sit in the sauna for 1 hour, once I fell asleep woke up 2 1/2 hours later..... I was thirsty.

Last time I was out drinking when I got home I drank 4-5 glasses of water. Woke up, felt fine, went to the gym early. However, my body wasn't really ready for it and felt sluggish and stiff for the work out, but after I felt a lot better than I did if I had just slept in all morning.

If you know you want to work out the next day... eat a big meal(preferrably a slow digesting one) before you start drinking. Drink water in between every or every other drink. Take a protein shake and drink water when done drinking. Shouldn't mess up gains too bad. This might be broscience but doing these things have helped me stay focused and reduce hangovers so I can still get a good work out the next day.

I legitimately feel so much better after working out and hydrating.... Helps me get over the hangover pretty fast, helps me feel good for the rest of the day.

Getting to the gym of course, is the hardest part.

Ehhh you should be careful, falling asleep in the sauna is asking for trouble.

True. For some reason whenever I drink I have a horrible time sleeping and usually wake up after 5-6 hours...sometimes still drunk. From there it's sleep for an hour then wake up again and hopefully feel a little better. I definitely feel a little better now that I lifted earlier than I would have if I hadn't.

Ah the good ol' partying days. /nostalgia

[johnnyscans]

Drink a pedialyte and you're good to go in 20 mins.
I went on a bender a few months ago, puked my brains out, woke up, slammed a pedialyte and hiked 10 miles.

Seriously

LOL that's pure roffle-copter material hahaha!

[Chumly]

If ur lookin for gains, hangover is no good - just takes one of your planned sessions on specific body part and ruins it... I do find it makes you feel better tho, so I usually wait till the eve after the day before and throw in an extra session that isn't my norm before doing my norm the following day - just to kick start the body!

[nick1990]

go to the gym hungover with no sleep at least twice a month.

I noticed that im not that sleepy for some reason, but once i get in the gym i feel my strength is down about 10%

Other than that, i feel fine going.

I guess the muscle relaxing qualities help?

dunno

I don't lift hungover, like ever. I like pushing myself as hard as I can in the gym, I do not like doing that hungover. Thus, I just wait till the next day. I lift 4 times a week, so it's not hard/detrimental to just shift it one day.
