Title: Marijuana and bodybuilding...
Post by: BiGHer on September 22, 2011, 07:03:53 AM
It's well known that a lot of bodybuilders are pot heads.  I have actually even heard from some that it is beneficial to smoke because it stimulates your metabolism (munchies) and gets you eating more.  Is this a harmful narcotic when it comes to bodybuilding?  It's considered a soft drug so I don't see why it would really take a toll on you and shouldn't be an issue when running Tren or anything like that, BUT maybe some of our resident experts can comment...

Seems like Arnie and Zane and Robby all enjoyed some grass.....I never would smoke before training but definitely after the workout....It is amazing how hungry you get on that stuff. Very good for a post workout nap as well!

There's nothing wrong with it just don't let it take over your life. I take a hit of some good weed a few times a week before my workout. I get a really awesome mind muscle connection. I feel like it helps me eat more and I sleep better. Just don't do it all the time.

Getting high helps your concentration!? Makes total sense.

I don't get stoned out of my mind. Just one hit of some really good weed. I feel like it actually helps me focus more.

Don't knock it until you try it. I'm not saying smoke a whole blunt before you hit the gym. One hit of some awesome bud will have you feeling great during your workout.

I totally agree. Usually only for people that are experienced smokers though.On the flip side I think it makes cardio feel like an eternity so I dont do it

THC stores longterm in fat cells.
when fat is burned, small amounts of
thc are reintroduced to the bloodstream.
so.....recycled high?
I think I read about all this years ago.
can't quite remember....been busy
doing 2 hours of cardio every morning then
finding the nearest buffet.

Yes good for bodybuilders that, it stores in fat so when you are really low BF it goes quicker out of your system than your average lardass.

Heavy users (like what I used to be) have been shown to have increased estrogen levels ... All I know is that once I stopped smoking pot I must of grew like my first cycle of creatine overnight. Also when you smoke you dont go into REM sleep...and REM sleep causes the release of certain hormones that make you get bigger...thats why BBs take GHB...it puts you in REM sleep instantly instead of the needed 3-4 hrs it normally would take. I hate to sound like tbombz with all the scientific mumbo jumbo but thats what some big ass dude told me...incidentally he loved his G. hahahaha

Good info. Always wanted to try ghb but I have a really addictive personality. Once I find something I like I get this weird urge to stock pile as much as I can of it.

Ive never tried it Im too scared, but ppl who when they go out clubbing have said that its better than the best ecstacy and best coke... but if you take too much then you 'g-out' basically past the fuck out and cant get awake until you sleep it off (8 -10 hrs later)

Never smoked a spiff but the shit does raise strogen in males.

No that this is a big deal for dudes who inject tonnes of gas each week, of course. But for naturals? ... Not good.

"Marijuana and its active component THC affect multiple endocrine systems. A suppressive effect is seen on the reproductive hormones, prolactin, growth hormone, and the thyroid axis, while the HPA axis is activated. These effects are mediated through CB1 receptor activation in the hypothalamus, which directly or indirectly modulates anterior pituary function. Many of the responses observed, however, are lost with chronic administration, which is likely due to the development of tolerance. Studies in humans have had inconsistent results that may reflect differences in study design, the hormonal milieu (eg., stage in menstrual cycle) or the development of tolerance. Long-term effects on the various endocrine systems have not been clearly demonstrated, and clinical consequences, if present, are likely to be subtle."

I refuse to workout if I don't smoke before. Once you experience the mind muscle connection there's nothing comparable.

Martinez and most of the other pros recognize this too. You only get burnt out if you smoke too much or something that is indica dominent. Smoke the stuff I grow and you won't feel tired.

I've posted pics and I don't have estrogen problems or a bad physique either. I've smoked weed every workout for the last 5 years. On the rare occasion I didn't, my workouts weren't three same. I lift hard, heavy, good form and no grunting. I try making it look effortless and everyone asks how I lift so well when I'm so baked lol

Working out and smoking dope is as stupid as smoking cigarettes after a workout.


You suck the carcinogens so much deeper and harder throughout your oxygen system. You think it feels good now?


Just wait.


Regret is already knocking at your door... maybe even your "back" door.  :-X


Mind Muscle Connection. That's a good one. I could see that. Sitting there, tripping on a pose and really thinking something special is happening. It's an illusion.


get that in your head instead, Beavis.

Post up some pictures tough guy. I'm sure my physique BLOWS yours out of the water. :-*

You sound like some 90's ass DARE propagandist. Smoking any plant matter will result in tar, but it's not carcinogenic like cigarettes. I understand the implications of smoking but it's not really going to do much in the long run. You do realize there are seniors who've smoked their entire lives without any sort of health challenge, right?

You confuse marijuana with some sort of heavy, narcotic drug. I take a few puffs right before the gym and the mind muscle connection is unparalleled. I'm not "tripping out" in the gym. I'm the guy who's lifting like a brick shit house, making pussies like you feel like packing up your bags and heading in for the night. I'm the guy staring at your girl on the treadmill and flirting with nothing more than a little body language and eye gestures. She's wanting to fuck my brains out and if I weren't married, I'd shag her raw, you little beta male bitch.

Someone told me weed is the best PCT, really raises your test. How did they know this, I asked. "I can feel it".  :D

Yeah, unfortunately any recreational drug circle is going to have a disproportionate amount of fucking dildos to normal, non-retarded folk.

Anything and everything about PCT is miserable too. Having a toke when you're feeling blue is nice. But you don't want to smoke a ton when your feelings are spiraling south and you're having trouble feeling depressed. It can amplify those feelings and bring incredible malaise, depression and exhaustion. Everything in moderation, especially when life is throwing curve balls your way.
