Normie asks me if I'm going to the works night out

Alcohol is for normies. Stay strong user.

agreed. Don't EVER bother telling normies about your dietary/fitness goals and restrictions. they will do everything in their power to destroy them. Beyond that, revealing the effort you put into your physique cheapens it, and makes you look less impressive to them.

> i don't drink
> why don't you come just for the free drinks then?

plenty of people get it and can understand the concept of not drinking, this lady is just profoundly stupid

I feel you bro.

>been working my ass off all week
>still manage to get my workouts in even though it on my leaves like an hour and a half to unwind in the evening before bed
>brothers birthday tonight
>wants to go to a casino, get plastered, smoke cigars etc
>it's my rest day
>have one more workout to do tomorrow
>will need to either not drink or hope I have no hangover tomorrow
>need to cook, do my weekly food shopping etc tomorrow

I could really do without this tonight tbqh familia. I'd honestly rather just spend today reading, napping and playing vidya than going out and drinking. Even if I don't drink burning cash in a casino isn't my idea of a good time. My only day to relax and do what I want and I need to spend it fucking around doing shit other people want. Sucks man.

What about drinking moderately?

Don't reveal your efforts at all to normies and when asked just say genetics or something how you go once a week
And your should ve gone op just have plain soda or something

I don't drink simply because I don't like alcohol and somehow people cannot fucking understand it.

It's like they can't do anything without drugs or alcohol being involved. It's like they think I'm looking down on them or something.

I'm sure your autism will get you far

This behaviour is no different than a girl with an eating disorder not wanting to go to a restaurant.

I get it though. I was once like this. Put my gains and strict routine above everything. But unless you compete in some bodybuilding shows, or are a model, theres no point.

If your obsession with working out and getting shredded gets to the point, where you cant even enjoy a fun night out without feeling guilty or worried you have let it get too far.

Remember that making it isnt just about getting shredded.

Besides, you couldve just gone and not drink anything cunt, maybe you couldve even gotten laid with a hot co-worker if you were a bit more chill, jeez

Arnt spirits okay to drink, calorie wise? (:

What if he cares more about lifting than about his dumb cunt coworker?

Then you should just say that you dont feel like going, simple.

Not something along the lines of "i cant go anywhere ever because it hurts my gains"

This

> (:

I go out twice a month, I drink 2 beers and 2 wodka+whatever, cola/redbull/sprite.

It has done nothing to diminish my gains.
Just have 1 or 2 drinks dude it's not the end of the world. Relax and socialize a bit (this is coming from an introvert btw).

How much do you ohp

I never OHP, I only do incline dumbbell press and isolation work.

>my gains

photo unrelated?

I go out and drink water, its free too. People judge me sometimes but I couldnt care less.

>no hangover
>no wasted money
>no progress lost
>go lift next day

I dont see the problem, just dont drink. Or are you too much of a pussy to resist peer pressure

Post pic, hyperboleman

This.
>cunts

>actively sabotaging your status in your workplace
>making an effort to reduce your chances of getting promoted, special privileges given to the favored and possibly becoming someone everyone gives a hard time

Go, drink seltzer, smile and laugh at their stupid jokes. Make sure you have a hard out to leave after an hour, if you're certain that you will never be friends with co-workers or they'll see your place make up a dog that you have to take care of. No one is going to call you out on not staying long enough if you tell them you have to go home and walk/feed/whatever your dog.

>implying it's more fun to socialize with coworkers then your actual friends.

Most coworkers are nice but not very interesting. No one really enjoys these work parties. They go in order to avoid accusations of not being a "team player".

>she acts disgusted and asks why
>tell her I don't drink as it would make this weeks progress useless
Autism.

Whenever anyone asks me why I don't go to shit like this I say "because I don't want to".

this I'm at going out 1xWeek now, how to progress faster?

>Whenever anyone asks me why I don't go to shit like this I say "because I don't want to".

Goddamn that's alpha!

You have to be 18 to post here.

>"because I don't want to".

You sound like a defiant child who won't eat his broccoli. I can imagine you know with your fists on your hips and attitude across your face. Much better to simply say that it's because you don't drink. Do the audience the courtesy of at least responding to their question.

...

You deserve a better (you)
user is right, she probably wanted to see you there, and you're just too autistic to realize

Guy at my gym deadlifts 340kg at a lean 93kg natty and he's on the beers every fucking night.

I don't drink because I don't like it but people like him make me question the whole alcohol kills gains thing.

Hah. I thought that might make someone upset.

>I don't drink
is not the reason you aren't going. If you say that they will not shut the fuck up trying to convince you, and you'll end up getting dragged along anyway. The reason you don't want to go to something like that is because you think it sounds boring. You want to do something else. So often people will bullshit you with "errr I've got a lot of work to do", "I'll have to see what my girlfriend says", "it'll ruin my gainz". People see through it. Just be honest, people appreciate it more than you think. You don't have to be rude about it.

>Anons constantly say they lift for girls
>they finally get one onviting them out and hookup
>they decline because "muh gains"
Prepare for all your social gains to go bye-bye. Gossip like that spreads like wildfire.

This, it is all about balance and moderation. There is nothing at all wrong with drinking small amounts now and then, if you are careful about what you drink you can keep calories to a minimum. However if you go and drink 10 pints of beer you are just fucking yourself over.

>"Wanna join us for work drinks user?"
>Sorry, I've just gotten off the wagon.
Simple, no?

Just go and drink water. I swear you guys can be really fucking narrow minded as fuck.

>mfw all these autists take lifting so seriously that they actively sabotage every other aspect of their life
>mfw they don't even compete

You guys are the equivalent of that weird hermit guy who never leaves the house so he can spend all day collecting stamps.

Not me, but pretty acurate for the first 2 years of lifting.

Thanks, it´s actually a year old photo. I´m slightly bigger with same bf.

>are you going out tonight user
>"not sure, I got shit to do"

but yeah, stay autistic.

This.
People/normies don't know what it means to struggle under relatively very heavy (for you) squat, repeatedly and multiple times a week, for months/years. I get to the point that Deep down I despise those who are lazy and disregard gains, or don't show me respect for my results. I know it's not their fault, they don't know. But it just I feel somehow. Anyone can relate?
