Hi Dylan
This may be an odd question. I write to you as from watching your videos you seem to have a lot of knowledge about the human body.
I was an alcoholic for about 7 years. I use the term alcoholic because I drank cider / beer EVERY day without fail. Anything from 4 - 12 beers for example. I had no issue stopping drinking I just made a choice with no outside help and I feel better each day. (been 2 months now)
Because of this I have literally 0 muscle mass. I do have a fast metabolism and I do a lot of walking / hiking so I never really gained any weight or a beer belly from this.
I am now just a super skinny guy with no muscle. I have recently joined the gym (i used to work out from 19 - 25) so im not exactly a complete beginner. I am now 32 and I can hardly even bench press the bar with no weights on it. My incline dumbbell bench press I can only manage 7.5kg. I have zero strength what so ever.
So I guess my question is. What exactly has all the years of alcohol done to my my muscles / hormones and is there any way other than to just keep of the booze and keep hitting the gym to fix the damage. IE any supplements I could take like a test booster etc etc. I hope you get the jist of the question I am not to good at wording things. Any advice would be appreciated. sorry for the long email.
as a side note I have recently had a blood test. All results are fine. liver kidneys, thyroid, blood pressure. I have a slightly high white blood cell count but thats it.
