Wait, doesn't alcohol prevent testosterone production?

hrdgain81 · 05-09-2008, 05:53 AM

Prevent? No ... lower, possibly but to what extent I dont know. but I can tell you I've never drank more in my life then the 4 years I was in college, I've also never been leaner, or made more strength gains then in those years.

On the topic of beer calories, are they any different than say those of chicken?

Like say you have to meet a certain calorie level, would drinking beer get you there just like eating chicken would?

Talo, low carb doesnt really matter with beer. Once you have consumed alcohol, it is converted to ketones and used as fuel. so it kinda forces you into ketosis, so the carb count makes no difference really.

PM, no, cals from alcohol are treated completely different then cals from chicken/beef/pasta/anything else. See above.

	TALO's Sig:"But when do you actually grow? Well, we don't grow in the gym. In the gym, we destroy. We tear down the body. We only grow when we are recovering. That's right, I said recovery. I see it all the time--people beating themselves up in the gym and not seeing results. They don't understand that hitting the weights hard is only a small part of growing or even cutting down. I could train the same all year round and get big or get ripped just by eating different and taking different supplements"
