Alcohol and Smoke

Today I will be telling you about how alcohol and smokes can affect your bodybuilding, and other things about it that you may not know.

Alcohol:

      Alcohol will decrease your muscle gains, first off, alcohol dehydrates your body. Which dehydrates your muscles making it harder for you to make gains. Second, alcohol decreases testosterone and increases estrogens. You seen those male heavy drinkers with man boobs? a.k.a bitch tits? Yeah that's what alcohol does to the man overtime. Third, alcohol will stop your body from absorption of some nutrients.

     Alcohol is the last thing you want to drink if you're on the heavy side and you want to cut fat. Alcohol is empty calories and contain no nutrients. On top of that alcohol slows down metabolism, making it harder to lose fat.

     If you take protein shakes, it will be hard on your liver but not dangerous if you drink enough water. Taking alcohol also takes a number on your liver, if you do both, you're sure to damage your liver badly.

      Other than that, alcohol will make you lazier, if you get a hangover, it will take a week of good sleep before you're fully recovered to your 100% at the gym.

Smoking:

      Smoking now is on a whole different level. Smoking decreases your lung capacity on holding oxygen, which means your performance in the gym will be shit. In the gym the last few reps is what really makes the difference, when you smoke, that is gone. Smoking also increases metabolism and makes you lose your appetite, if you can't put it together, it means you can't make good mass gains. Smoking will also ruin your muscle gains in general, because oxygen will have trouble being taken to all your muscles. Most importantly, smoking will damage your manhood. If you don't follow, I'll be straight forward. If you smoke enough, your manhood will go limp.

         Now if you don't want to live longer, want to stay weak, small, no endurance, have no manhood, and be a bitch slave to cigarettes, then go ahead and smoke away. If you want to stay away from cigarettes, don't ever be peer pressured. Being peer pressured to drink or smoke is the dumbest excuse ever to start anything. If you give into peer pressure, you're admitting to the world, you're a bitch. If you smoke, you'll be the cigarette's bitch. You are the owner of your own life, something you claim and no one else. When you smoke, you're abusing your life and wasting it. Cut that shit out of your system, you're given one life, make it the best you fucking can. You're worth so much, but you cover it up when you smoke and make yourself feel like shit. You know what people think of you when you give in to peer pressure? You're pathetic, weak and your will is shit. Smoking will make you weak, your endurance will be nothing, and your muscles will be close to bullshit. What's to gain from smoking? There is no reason to smoke, there is nothing cool about being a weak bitch and having a limp manhood.

You only have one life, don't waste it by smoking and drinking your life away. Don't waste it.

Motivation and how often should you go

Weightlifting:

            How often you go to the gym all depends on your routine. If you're just starting out, most work out routines for beginners usually consists of a 3 day split. Or if you only have 3 days to work out, and can spare 1.5-2 hours for those 3 days. The best time for a 3 day work out usually is Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Obviously it is not mandatory for it to be those days, but it's an easy routine to remember if it was Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I did a Mon,Wed, and Fri work out for about 4-6 months before I changed anything up.

If you want a more challenging work out, and you only have like an hour to do work outs a day, you can split the workouts more and can do more for each body group. You can add more days and do a 5 day split or a 6 day split. For a year and bit I did a 5 day split, Monday-Friday, then recently I added in an extra day doing a 6 day split Monday-Saturday. Although you don't necessary have to do a 5-6day split to get bigger when you're more experienced, it could be better but not necessary.5-6 day split is good, but 3 day split is also fine if you only have that much time in a week.

Cardio:

            For cardio, you want to do it every day or every two days if your goal is to drop body fat %. The more intense your cardio work outs are and how consistent it is will affect how fast your body fat % will drop. One thing to keep in mind is to always do cardio after weightlifting. Weightlifting won't affect your cardio performance but your cardio performance will affect weightlifting, so do your cardio after weightlifting is the best. If you run like 30-45 minutes before weight training, you're going to be tired overall, and it will affect how well you do when you lift weights. If you weight lift first then do 30-45 cardio after, you'll be tired in the muscle group you did but you will still get you're cardio done well.

Motivation:

            Many people have different goals in the gym. Some want to have better endurance for a sport they play or just for their own good health, some want to cut down on their fat, some want to bulk and gain mass, and some just want to keep fit and have some muscles. Best way to always keep motivated in the gym, is to know what exactly are you looking for from the gym. I started because I had to get bigger for football, in mass and strength. I dedicated a whole year to getting bigger for football, and I did. Every day in the gym, all I thought about was how there were so much more bigger and stronger people on the field, and I trained hoping to be the one where people would not want to go against. But sadly football was cancelled, but I still kept working out. I had a new goal then, to be the best I can and pushing my limits to see just how far I can go. Every time I feel lazy or unmotivated, I just ask myself, "How badly do I want it" I feel as if, if I don't make myself the best I can be, I'm wasting time. When people stay at home resting from nothing, I'm out there making myself the best I can be, I feel as if I abuse my life if I waste it by being lazy all day. I enjoy pushing myself until I can't anymore, many people quit because it gets too hard and they want to give up. I hate that, I feel better when I know I push past my limits and improve myself constantly. 

            Don't think people will judge you if you're overweight and you're in the gym. The fact you're trying to make a change to yourself is a big step already that many are afraid to take. But that's just the first step, what's important is that you stay on track and you don't give up. Many people won't see results first week and it's hard, but you have to push through it, you can't give up like the hordes of useless people who do. You must push through it as if your life depends on it, it's like building a house, and every training session is putting another brick on the wall. You won't reach your goals from complaining and whining. You won't reach your goals from blaming problems on people, you are what you make yourself to be.

            Your results are based on how hard you train.
