The Hangover 2

Alcohol and muscle building mix like oil and water. As I've posted previously, alcohol has plenty of deleterious effects on your body.

But, if you're going to drink alcohol, there are a couple of things you can do to mitigate the damage.

First, if you drink, do so within 24 hours of your resistance workout. A recent study has shown that 24 hours after your training, protein synthesis is reduced by 15-20%.

Secondly, you can also supplement with N-acetyl cysteine ( about 500-600 mg daily) and leucine to help the liver process the alcohol.

Still, if you're serious about muscle growth, skip the Jack and have a wheat grass shot instead.



Alan: I wish monkeys could Skype. Maybe someday.
