Best post workout drugs?
Killed my workout today and finished with a strong drink while relaxing in the pool, about to fire up a bowl in the volcano to top it off. Something about this combo is incredibly satisfying and relaxing post workout.
This has me wondering, what have been your favorite substances to use after a good workout?

Depends on your goals.
If your trying to bulk up weed is the best. It’s perfect for recovery bcs it makes you eat and sleep.
Alcohol is a horrible choice no matter what. It inhibits your bodies ability to build muscle.
Weed interferes with muscle growth. It also ruins rem sleep which is essential to hormone regulation and recovery.
Alcohol is way worse tho
Yeah I know it could mess with sleep. I’ve never heard of it effecting muscle growth that’s interesting.
But for me the benefits definitely outweigh the costs. If your deep in a bulk and eating is getting tough it’s a game changer.
Is it due to recovery and hydration or is there something else fucking it up?
Alcohol’s affect on muscle isn’t significant if used in moderation. It’s been shown to inhibit mTOR in rats, raise cortisol, and lower testosterone levels. The slight temporary drop in testosterone would be negligible for muscle. Overall occasional drinking would have a negligible effect on your gains.
