Insipred by the training vs. alcohol thread I searced the internet in hopes of finding some articles on the adverse effects of marijuana while wait training. Sadly, I couldn't find anything 100% factual. I don't smoke myself (anymore), but have lots of friends who do. Does weed actually effect your body and muscle recovery?

It's difficult to find any real evidence/science, but I have read that it lowers T level in males.

I rarely smoke it anymore. Maybe once every two or three months. I am pretty much done with that shit.

When I used to smoke I would actually sometimes get HIGH and then workout. Sometimes I would have the best workout of my life (of course I could've just been thinking that) other times I just said screw it and went and smoked again. This is why I completely cut smoking and alcohol out of my diet. I was just wanting some information to persuade all my friends not to smoke (most of them are into bodybuilding and i'm starting to see their lives go downhill.) I guess I could mention the lowered testosterone though.

I have a craving sometimes just becasue I did it for so long, but i've somehow convinced myself that it's the worst thing I can do for more body - not to mention the fact that i'm in the middle of competition season - so I just ask myself do I want to throw away all i've achieved with one blunt/joing? hell no!

i have a friend, (well we used to be best friends), he somkes weed at least 4 times a week, and does a little E on the side, he started working out with me long long time ago and quit after only a month because smoking weed was more important to him than loosing his fat-ass, i admit to smoking weed a few times (13) but i was still in highschool back then and im glad i tried it but even happier that i was smart enought to make a choice to stay away from my old friends because i hear now that they even started "experimenting" with coke....... dumb idiots?!?!?!?!?!?

I don't usually smoke but one or two bong hits per day, at the end of the day, after I have finished all of my exercise and homework. Sometimes I won't smoke if I simply don't have time, but most days I am able to. I still gained 70 pounds on my benchpress, lost some fat, and gained 25 pounds in 6 months of lifting/cardio while smoking a small amount daily.
Also, I used to smoke a lot more when I was younger. The strongest I've ever been was when I was a big pothead. I weighed 205 and was benchpressing a max of about 275 when I was 14. I used to even weight lift while I was stoned, which didn't seem to be much of a problem. In fact, I kind of liked it because it numbed some of the muscle burn. It made it easier for me to go to failure on sets of above 6 repititions. The biggest problem I can see is that it will demotivate some people. Also, if you are a very heavy smoker, then your blood flow becomes somewhat impeded. I think the key is moderation. Although I smoke every day, I don't let it interfere with my life. |

Ok, I only need to try one other drug off that list in order to come back and report and tell you its "ok" And I'm not missing the heroin. As a matter of fact, I've been drug free for about a year now. I have access to virtually any drug minus the acid (thats pretty dry across the country). |

And if you really want to get into the subject, I'd be happy to inform you just how harmless heroin is to the body in actuality. Its far safer (in respect to actual damage to the body) than a majority of other drugs out there, even weed or coke.
Heroin is an semi-synthetic opiate, its actually used by hospitals in the UK. Heroin functions the same way morphine does and for that matter most other opiates/opiods. Vicodin, coedine, etc.... |
