Am I stupid for drinking beer (500 ml) after a good workout?

[slimstiffy]

So i had a good shoulder workout the other day. I drank a load of milk after. I came home and ate. After that i was still thitsty because its very hot now. I opened the fridge and saw a cold one i had bought earlier i ususally dont drink on the days i workout, but it was just too tempting. I tought fuck it and drank it.
I tought i should wait and drink some water before bed but i kinda fell asleep.
Next morning i was maybe slightly dehydrated, and i have a bit shoulder pain ( the good kind of pain, i always have a bit soreness after shoulder workout.)
So is it too bad? What do you experts think?

isn't there nutrition in beer? I mean, that is what the sailors drank on ships because they couldn't store the water safely... and it had nutrients... but I'm not an expert in beer... I don't enjoy it.

Therefore... I say run more experiments... see how your body feels. Maybe it is better and you can start a whole new fad in workouts? As long as you aren't driving, biking, boating, probably ok.

course... beer is alcohol... and your body needs to repair itself and remove the alcohol... so I'm guessing it is counter productive.

I think just drinking in general is a bad idea... 😕

[slimstiffy]

haha.. it is yeah. but its ok if you can hold your liquour

No, you are not crazy. As long as you hydrate first and limit it to one beer and realize that it represents roughly 30 min to 1h workout

[slimstiffy]

Oh okay. I did workout for an hour. So does it affect muscle gains a lot. Im kinda bulking , so weight gain us not much if an issue, but i dont want to compromise on muscle gains.

[Xfitchick]

It will not influence muscle gain, only fat burning

[slimstiffy]

oh okay. thanks for the info. :-D

[Xfitchick]

[slimstiffy]
