Alcohol as a performance enhancer

Alcohol is certainly NOT a performance enhancer and doing lots of exercise after a lot of alcohol is likely a bad idea.....
 
There's nothing like a pis.sed run home with your smart shoes slapping against the concrete ground. You can run and run forever without ever getting tired. and because you're ****** your memory loss makes time fly. I love it.

why is ****** stared out. that's pathetic.

If it's starred then it's not a very good idea to try and get around the swear filter is it?
 
If I go for a run the morning after a heavy night I can normally run faster and longer but suffer for it more afterwards. Always thought it had something to do with there being lots of sugar in the alcohol giving me energy to burn.
 
If I go cycling the day after having lots of beers, my legs feel loads better up the steep stuff, and I always have that little bit more in reserve.

I have a 30 mile route I frequently use, and my fastest time round it was after a heavy night

Energy from carbs and messages not being sent by brain to stop.
Easily explained that one

From anyone else I'd be surprised. From you? Yeah, not so much.

A fair few people have backed up that they can exercise longer and harder after drinking so it's not just him.
 
Another possibility is that technique goes out of the window without you realising, so 13 poor pullups instead if 8 gooduns

But even if you could, pointless, totally pointless. Any energy you burn and good effect from the exercise is ruined by the calories intake from the beers.

As for performance enhancing, try go playing a game of table tennis or something and see if you win. Your motor reflex and co-ordination will be compromised, your reaction time is delayed.

But you might still think you won, because you are drunk. lol

In other words, either way...you win. :D

It's more like a training aid than a performance enhancer. Obviously you wouldn't use it for a competition, but say you were stuck for a long time at a certain weight for barbell curls or whatever and wanted to shock your body into getting past that plateau. For the next couple of workouts you could get slightly drunk and crank out more reps than normal and shock your biceps in to adjusting. Then go back to being sober again and you could curl a higher weight than before.
 
Time to get tanked up and head down the gym then!

I'm not sure the instructors and fellow users will be too impressed by my singing, using the barbell bar as a lightsabre, poking the big lads in the chest while calling them 'posers', trying to pull wheelies on the exercise bikes and leering at the women while they do their stretches.

I'll report back on the results though. :D
