Whenever I go below 5 reps I use my belt for Squats/Deadlift/rowing exercises, because with it i can tell better whether my back is straight or not. I don't even make it 100% tight. Most people think it helps you prevent injuries, but very often people just use it as an excuse not to learn proper technique. | ||

BUT. I can't quit drinking. Seriously, I just enjoy it way too much, after a long day at work and perhaps a 1-2 hour gym session all I want to do is shower, cook dinner and sit in front of the laptop or TV and have a couple of drinks. I don't binge drink, as in I don't go out and drink 10-15 drinks but I do have 1-2 glasses of red wine or 1-2 spirits every night. How much of a hindrance are those couple of drinks to my progress? At the moment I'm just trying to cut down a look good neked body. | ||

And one glass of alcohol is pretty much already unhealthy, there were some studies about small amouts of alcohol that suggested these amounts are healthy. But these studies were designed very poorly and the outcome cannot be taken too seriously. If you going for 100% every ounce is too much. I read the book "Mind Gym" by Mack Casstevens a while ago and he quoted Knute Rockne when it comes to drinks: "Drink the first one, sip the second, and refuse the third". Sam Sheridan wrote in "A Fighter's Heart" that a couple of beers one weekend ruined his last few weeks of training. But he was talking about having his top form and that nutrition, training, regeneration, etc. have to be perfect to keep it. Personally I don't drink at all. I have cut my alcohol intake to zero over the past years and even one single beer gives my an aweful headache the next day (I guess I'd need to "train" more lol). I would try not to drink every single day, but I don't think it will hurt your progress a lot if you drink the mentioned amounts sometimes. But again, this is just my opinion! | ||

Alcoholism is a very specific disease related to dependency and chemistry. It is slightly related to drinking behavior, but rules such as "if you drink alone you're an alcoholic" are ridiculous in principle. There are multiple studies linking heart health and moderate drinking practices (moderate is considered a maximum of 2 drinks a day, well over his daily average), and pretty much no evidence to suggest that people who drink a moderate amount of alcohol every day are at risk for developing alcoholism. Decaf on the other hand ... sorry buddy, but that doesn't sound all that healthy . | ||

Sure, it isn't the most healthy thing you could be doing for yourself, but I'm sure he can handle it; being that he is an athlete and is otherwise concerned about diet, I'm actually pretty sure he's better off than most college students. And he only drinks twice a week. That's not to say it wouldn't be better not to drink, but its certainly not going to kill anyone here. | ||

You are right. I was talking about the textbook defintion. Let's say it this way: If you need your drink every day, than you have an alcohol dependecy. It is not said, that you will develop (health) problems because of that. I know about some studies linking heart health and moderate drinking and these do not stand a deeper scientific analysis. | ||

You're confusing dependency with desire. Obviously when he says "need" he's using the word in an exaggerating manner. I don't think he's going to start getting the shakes if he doesn't have a drink every day, just that he really enjoys it and it's one thing he doesn't want to cut out. | ||

No I am not He did not say that, but there are people out there who get really pissed off if they don't get their closing time beer. And that is a dependency, an every day routine. By no means a physical dependency, but a mental one. | ||

I haven't found anyone who can really tell me how to do that exercise right  Watching youtube videos is ok, but not enough to really get it. | ||

And i've been working my bench hardcore to recover since i've been able to start pressing heavy (probably gone up ~40 pounds in a month) And yeah do that ^ Start light, and if you can take videos and we can critique your form. | ||

I might sound not a lot but this training is really awesome, you have to stabalize this damn bag so much that your core has to work overtime. And besides that my grip strength has improved a lot as well. I can power clean that bag ok, because when I was trying the actual clean my biggest problem was the transition part from the upward movement to the front squat. But I am sick anyways...tright to work out today but stopped after 10min and my internet connection is too bad for serious starcraft as well btw thanks for the vids | ||

I won't drink if I have an early morning gym session or If I have had a unhealthy food day. I just enjoy being in a mellow mood listening to music before heading to bed! I gave up drinking for 8-9 months on my initial weight loss, I've just given up so many of the things I enjoy and I put in so much hard work at the gym, it just seems un-fucking fair to have to give up a couple of drinks as well. I guess it's more psychological/emotional than dependence. | ||
