    alcohol and powerlifting

    I know alcohol and bodybuilding do not mix but is it as big a deal for powerlifters? will it affect powerlifters as much?

    I would think at least as much. Powerlifters rely greatly on the explosiveness and quickness of their CNS, which gets greatly reduced by any depressant.

    Y'know I was just thinking about starting a thread like this. Prepare to lose all respect for Ant:

    Last Thursday: Went to Raiders game. Pounded 6-pac in parking lot. Got drunk.
    Friday: Went to BBQ, had 7-8 beers. Went to bar afterwards, had another few. Got drunk.
    Sat: Went to Cal game, had BBQ after, had 7-8 beers. Went to bar afterwards, had another few. Got drunk.
    Sun: Recovered.
    Mon: Went to gf's parents. Went on hike. Got drunk w/ gf's dad. Played volleyball in pool with gf's 16-yr old brother's 2 ******** hottie friends.
    Tues: Went to 4 star restaurant, drank 4 bottles of wine. Got drunk.
    Wed-Thurs: Recovered.
    Tonight: Planning on going to BBQ, calling AA.

    LOL, my gf just turned 21, that's why so much boozing... I know it's stupid and I gotta cut it out from now on...

    pffff, you get drunk after 8 beers?

    that just gets me starting

    once i drank a total of 35 beers on a night. man, half of it is in blackout
    but ever since it takes much longer to get drunk

    i never understood why i never had a hangover...

    anyway, haven't been drunk in over a year, not planning to get drunk soon either. but i like a good strong dark beer once in a while

    I don't know if Alcohol is as bad as some people would tell you. I know a lot of great lifters that will still drink. I know a couple guys back in the day that would drink during competitions, and their #'s are still up there. So just do it in moderation .
    Hard to the Core

    Another thing that screws up your lifting is giving blood. Try to lift after that. You can't get a pump no matter what. I learned that out the hard way. Thank goodness you can only give blood every two months or so. I didn't have a good workout for over two days after that.
