Beer

How bad is 5 - 6 cans of beer on a Saturday while doing stronglifts on a really clean diet?

Rehydrate heavily and take some diaorlyte before bed and you should be fine.

It won't hurt you too badly as long as you're not waking up hungover on Sunday.

Thanks for the reply Hanley, how much more would it hurt if you were doing a training session earlier in the day, proabaly best avoided Id imagine!

You'd be better training than not tbh. With Stronglifts you're never really hitting failure, so muscular fatigue and recovery shouldn't be too big of a deal really. Just make sure you're eating well post training and doing as much as possible to prevent any real damage occurring.

5/6 cans is certainly better than pre-boozing, hitting a pub and then going to a club afterwards!!

I wouldnt worry about it too much, you still need to live a little, moderation is the key.

Yep rehydration is key, have 4 cans and then a pint of water, 5th can and another pint of water before the 6th. I find this helps keep you alert and is like you are still on that same buzz after the first few cans. Most people start lashing down drink after the first few while those first few have yet to even take effect.

6 a week is nothing though, I drink like a fish and am usually OK. Beer will have an oestrogen effect due to the hops, but I wouldn't worry about 6.

This.
I drink way more than this 3 nights at the weekend, wish I didn't tbh, but living overseas means drinking culture is bit part of socialising
