Eric Cressey's stuff in T-Nation.

Alcohol kills soft tissue quality.

Back in the spring, I had lunch with a buddy of mine who is a manual therapist for a major league team. He told me that just by working on one of his athletes' tissues, he could tell that they had been out drinking the night before, describing the tissue as "boggy." So, right when I got home, I hopped on Pubmed to investigate further and came across this:

"The development of alcoholic muscle disease, which affects both cardiac and skeletal muscle, leads to increased morbidity and mortality in patients who abuse alcohol. The disease pathology includes myocyte degeneration, loss of striations, and myofilament dissolution, which is consistent with alterations in structural and myofibrillar proteins" (1).

Now, it's been a while since my muscle physiology courses back in graduate school, but I can still say with almost certainty that these effects can be acute and not just chronic. All in all, alcohol isn't great for tissues, but I'd call it especially problematic for those who are trying to bounce back from injuries.

This becomes especially problematic when you're also suppressing the Testosterone levels on which you're counting to help maintain muscle mass while on the shelf. Add in that alcohol consumption interferes with sleep quality, and you'll quickly realize that growth hormone output won't be optimal (sleep is an extremely important time for growth hormone, which is very important in strengthening connective tissues).

She's hot. But with a face like that, I bet she'd still sell like hot cakes even without the muscles, as long as she keeps her body shapely and sufficiently toned enough.

Florian, just tell the guy straight that your muscles = to let the ladies look, feel and admire. Equivalent to how we drool over women with shapely and perky boobs and tight ass with hourglass figure. Sexy.

The skinny guy = equivalent to females with plank body, airport chest, and flat ass. He needs to face the truth sooner or later.

Okok, I'm not gonna touch on this issue anymore. Don't want to mess with you, your muscles are intimidating Hope the new routine works for you!
