Well have you heard the phrase zone out? Sometimes smokers do this... They just zone out, lol. Well for me and a lot of guys I like to reffer to it as zone in. Doesn't matter what you're doing, all your focus and concentration will pour into it. There's honestly some truth to it. But affects people differently blah blah blah...

My stepdad who has never smoked actually defended me on this one time. He's a musician and he told my Mom when I was about 15, who hates pot with a passion, "no he's right. I have seen this with guys I have played with before."

i used to smoke weed on daily basis i would wake up and smoke b4 i pissed as soon as i started to lose my high i would smoke again, I know all the affects of smoking, and yes their is plenty truth to this Zone that you get But these guys spend hours at the gym daily and have bairly put on mucle and shredded a little bf. For someone who eats right drinks the protien shakes and shit its disaapointing i told them to cut back but they dont listen lol. I think the low test thing is correct on weed i wouldnt be suprised at all
 
I've been drug free for a little while now, but i can definitely say that smoking before my workout (usually also having some caffeine or pre-workout which i do whether i smoke or not) really helps to clear my mind and focus only on the task at hand and the muscles i'm working. I truly feel like i get a better mind-muscle connection if i blaze a little before i hit the gym. I'd explain it as such - being a little high simplifies the way i'm thinking, i.e. if i'm watching tv im focused only watching tv, if i'm drawing i'm focused only on my drawing, if i'm lifting i'm able to focus only on lifting and can more clearly feel the muscles working.

Much more-so than the effect pre-workout however is the obvious effect of increased appetite from smoking weed. during a bulk i often find it difficult to force a meal down every 3 hours, especially if my appetite is a little decreased from running orals or something which happens to me a bit. smoking a little bowl instantly cures any nausea or lack of appetite and I'm able to eat what i need to when i need to.

As i said when I started my post, I'm currently drug free and doing really well with it and with my training. I'm in better shape than just about any before and i'm currently off cycle (about to start up). In no way do i feel like I need weed to train, eat, or succeed in my goals in bodybuilding, but it's far from the negative effects that plenty of legal alternatives have on training.

I was never able to find anything to fully support the test/estrogen levels with weed. I read an intersteing report showing exactly why that theory started and made perfect sense on paper, but there was no proof according to this study. IDK but I inject my test and use e control so I couldn't care less, lol.
 
Very old post, but when i saw the thread i read the first page and this cracked me up...

ok, so go "experiment" with some heroin and come back and tell us how it is than ok ??? and whike you are at it go try some Acid Proven to be one of the safest recreational drugs in existence, psp a hand-held video game system, lsd (acid, as you mentioned two words ago) etc... and come back and report, " there is nothing dumb" with that (probably shouldn't challenge intelligence with a post displaying lack of any knowledge on the subject at hand)

^this^ .. and the common myth about the phyto-estrogens in cannabis has been shown to be untrue because they aren't biologically active in humans. in a way it may actually block some real estrogen from receptors but this is complete bro-science on my part
 
Sorry guys, but this thread is lame as fuck. Smoking and working out just don't mix for me. Some guys love it, not me. Maybe I need to give it a chance, but I smoke to relax and enjoy my time at home AFTER a work out.

That's what I do too. I used to smoke all day for yrs. But just smoking at the end of the day when everything in life has been taken care of, is much more relaxing and enjoyable.

I've found that weed gets better and better with age. Being 33 now, there is a time and place for my herb and it isn't when I smash weights.

Actually lsd and acid are the same thing and it's on addictive has no known side affects so basically harmless as long as you are smart with it not something you would or could do everyday or even once a month it is a very powerful phycodelic the "high" you get from acid is much more powerful then meth just two gallons of lsd is enough to get all of the United States tripping
 
I used to smoke a blunt on the way to the gym and was always focused on my routine although I was high out of my mind. I probably went wrong with the munchies and junk i was comsuming after getting blazed again at night. Your going to get results as long as you are lifting weights getting a pump and whether its more productive the if you were sober depends on the other variables like what your consuming for munches, supplements and other post workouts lifestyles. I quit smoking for 8 months now and have significant improvements to my muscle gain but I also added multi vitamins, L-Arginine, more protein and BCAA to the roster, so I can't accurately scale the difference from before...
 
It doesn't leave you impotent. I just got my wife prego and smoke daily along with being on 1.4 grams of gear.
 
wicked bump.. "smoke weed every day" and literally work out 6 days a week so if you can`t get motivated your A. not a true pot head or B. lazy as crap.. my munchie food is protein powder in yogurt
 
Super old ass thread . 9 years in the making crazy! Smoke, dont smoke each is own. There is plenty of very productive people in society who smoke as well as who dont. I personally don't but I'm advocate for legalization when the time comes. It needs to be regulated And controlled much like many states are doing now.
 
every singe day medicater here, dont use cannabis as an excuse for being lazy!

Most people who have never tried smoking weed and working out have a negative view of it. Most people who have tired it have a positive view of it. What does that tell you?

I remember arguing with that Merkaba faggot who couldn't resist chiming in every weed thread to whine and cry about how people who use weed to improve themselves are wrong, If he wasn't open to discussion, then he should have minded his own prolapsed colon and business.
 
I agree. I tend to get very demotivated when stoned. I've also read it can cause moobs
 
I've been smoking pot on and off for much of my adult life and haven't found that it impacts me much. The caveat is that I only smoke at the end of the day to help me relax. If I smoked it throughout the day I'd probably never leave my chair.
