Yo man,
Can I get an ounce ??? ::)
Smoked a while back, became completely worthless at everything, lost a good job, couldn't work out worth a shit on it either just wanted to eat.
Using Marijuana before your workout will increase athletic performance, which was recently proven in a study that I'm trying to find right now as I write this(high).
Hey Ross, glad to have you on the board.If you had seen Ross' picture you would have confirmed that already.
I thought that marijuana contributes to gynecomastia?
Weeds skyrockets my anxiety and does not relax me at allit has that effect on alot of people. its an acquired taste.

I used to enjoy it if I was on E. Was great to kick start the e or enhance your E buzz.i hear you. xtc used to be amazing. the open minded and open heartedness, the empathy. all surrounded by euphoria, energy, and a ravenous sexual appetite. now days if i take xtc, i get euphoria and energy, but it doesnt make me any more open minded , empathetic, or loving. so its not quite as fun, and i dont take it nearly as often anymore. that was my plan afterall, to assess how the drug changed me, selected the positive aspects, and incorporated them into my sober state of mind. :)
Your brain chemistry changes as you age though. I find certain drugs have less affect on me as I get older. G and E used to be amazing highs but stopped doing them once it seemed like I wasn't getting as high or feeling as good. I miss those care-free "life is amazing" highs, but I'm glad I don't partake in them much at all anymore.

Was this before or after taking money from your parents during your cocaine binge ??? ;D.. both, asshole ;D
I had a friend in college that looked real good, Nigerian dude, Freshman yr all he would do is 250 diamond pushups at night broken up into sets of 50, he then would do crunches...as soon as he got on the weed, he got lazy, and his eating habits became sloppy and irregular...no more great physique
I recently saw a dude who was about 5'10 190, beast of dude, and he smoked weed...
the conclusion? It can have different effects on different people.

Marijuana can increase your heart rate quite a bit. Wouldn't it be dangerous smoking right before the gym. Especially if you're on a cycle that increases blood pressure. When you're really exerting yourself at the gym your blood pressure and heart rate can really climb pretty high.
The active ingredient in Marijuana, THC(Delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol ), increases testosterone in mice.
Weed is fun for delts, bis and tris. Not so much for leg day.Odd, cause that is what the dude who was 5'10 had--arms, delts, chest traps
-master approved
First, how many mice do you think post on this board?
Second, what the fuck do elevated test levels help you when marihuana turns you into a lazy bastard that doesn't give a fuck about anything?
Marijuana is a mood/personality enhancement, so if you are a shy or paranoid person to begin with, it will indeed enhance those perceptions and feelings. However, for some users, Marijuana produces a distinct feeling of energy and euphoria, which can be very productive in the gym.
Actually, a recent study just showed that in FREQUENT smokers, Marijuana actually increased ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE, as it was able to "put you in the ZONE", most likely as a result of decreased stress and increased creativity, focus, and relaxation. However, in non-smokers, it decreased athletic performance, of course.
As for Marijuana increasing or decreasing Testosterone--the jury is still out, but it sure as hell does not increase estrogen, as previously was thought.
Bullshit, all people i know that went on weed got lazy and wasted their lives just lying around playing playstation (1 or 2, because they were to lazy and poor to buy the new one).
Weeds skyrockets my anxiety and does not relax me at all
different types of weed have different effects, try an indica strain
Smoking marijuana & working out:
1) Smoke in car on the way to the gym.
This way, you don't have to worry about not getting there.
Also, if you don't have a car, you should save that joint for post workout.
2) Smoke only for small muscles groups on high volume training days.
Triceps, biceps & shoulders
High volume sets allows for stricter technique when lifting and better contractions of muscles.
Heavy low volume sets makes strict range of motion more difficult, thus more swinging and use of other body parts for compensation.
Most exercises that strain the core, dilutes the high, therefore does not allow you to maintain the ideal "zone" for workout
(Also, weed makes boring repetitive motions more tolerable)
3) Weed is a natural pain killer
It is prescribed to people with chronic pain; it allows for a higher tolerance of discomfort.
This is why the high volume sets are ideal
4) Smoke post workout to promote appetite
Weed makes people hungry (duh)
Also, relaxing and pain killing properties of MJ allows for better and quicker recovery.
These are my principles due to experience.
I acknowledge that not all people are react to MJ the same way, so results may vary
MJ amplifies what is already there; lazy people will still be lazy.
Thank you for reading.
1) Smoke in car on the way to the gym.
yea, dont do this.
Well said, you summed up everything pretty well.
Now log off and LITERALLY FUCK YOURSELF IN THE FACE!!!

This thread is utter nonsense. When I was younger and smoked a lot, I decided to try to work out high a few times and it was a nightmare. Not only does it fuck up your breathing and make it impossible to concentrate, but it elevates your heart rate and decreases your energy at the same time.
The only possible advantage to smoking would be post workout if you want to increase your appitite, or if your skinny and want to put on weight. But in both cases, I find it hard to believe that getting the munchies would make you want to binge on anything except junk food.
I highly doubt that there are guys in great shape smoking weed after a workout and then jonesing for skinless chicken breasts and brown rice.
I forgot to mention that I live in Montreal.
Marijuana laws are very lax.
You don't get in trouble even if you get caught.
No ticket or fine.
If you're not a genetic loser, you should be able to eat anything you want if you workout hard enough.
my 2 cents.

I was more concerned about ending up on liveleak with my face torn off :o
Unless you have shitty weed than be my guest :D
youre right about common sense. Dont smoke blunts outside mcdonalds on the kiddie playground, etc etc
Smoking marijuana & working out:so you smell like weed when youre at the gym? :-\

Lots of sound scientific theories and terrific advice being offered in this thread.
Weed is good here in MTL.
When smoking was still allowed indoors, used to smoke often in bars and clubs.
If you're cool with the owners, managers, they used to not care.
People in Canada don't get too silly over a harmless drug.
so you smell like weed when youre at the gym? :-\
I only tried weed a couple times in my life, Once in HS, then once in college. Both times I didn't feel extra horny or like working out. I was just sleepy and hungry.
I smell like Acqua di Gio when I workout.so you reek of perfume instead? Nice.
Keep purell and gum in your car.
when you get in the gym you wash your hands, face and especially your fingernails.
so you reek of perfume instead? Nice.
It's called cologne and It doesn't reek. It's actually quite nice. Portion control applies to everything.
I also shower before the gym, so my pores are not clogged when I sweat.
I also put eyedrops in right before.
Only dummies get caught.
It's been awhile since we got to enjoy one of Adam's hilarious gimmicks. ::)
lifting while stoned is dumbHave you ever done it? It's fucking awesome.
why would you do any type of aerobics high?
Some buddies of mine would smoke blunts before our football games. The negro running backs especially. I think weed doesn't effect black people as bad. If I smoked a blunt before a football game I wouldn't make it out of the locker room.
Whats it matter that kind of thing happens everywhere.
It's called cologne and It doesn't reek. It's actually quite nice. Portion control applies to everything.no, Acqua di Gio is called perfume. Stop lying to yourself ;)
