Anyone know if beta blockers can hamper muscle gains?

just be careful bro:

Beta blockers (sometimes written as β-blocker) are a class of drugs used for various indications, but particularly for the management of cardiac arrhythmias and cardioprotection after myocardial infarction (heart attack). While once first-line treatment for hypertension, their role was downgraded in June 2006 in the United Kingdom to fourth-line as they did not perform as well as other drugs, particularly in the elderly, and there is increasing evidence that the most frequently used beta-blockers especially in combination with thiazide-type diuretics carry an unacceptable risk of provoking type 2 diabetes.[1] However, Forest Laboratories and Mylan Inc. announced on December 18, 2007 the novel beta blocker Bystolic was approved by the FDA for treatment of hypertension.

Propranolol was the first clinically useful beta adrenergic receptor antagonist. Invented by Sir James W. Black, it revolutionized the medical management of angina pectoris and is considered to be one of the most important contributions to clinical medicine and pharmacology of the 20th century.[2]

Beta blockers may also be referred to as beta-adrenergic blocking agents, beta-adrenergic antagonists, or beta antagonists.

I've read some things that point to a positive from them 'possibly' I have also read some things that can be bad for muscle growth.

I'm going to be quitting taking these damn things. I am wondering if the tiredness I am feeling now and other shit might be party because of them.

I'll take being shaky and being able to hit the gym hard over being this crap!
