Smoking and steriods
« on: April 14, 2009, 10:34:41 AM »
I know smoking is bad for your health, but does anyone here smoke? Are cigeretts worse for your health when combined with gear? I personal quit smoking about 2 years ago, but for some reason I have picked the habit back up and i'm getting ready to start a cycle.

Not a good idea at all.  Pick up some Nicorette gum and save yourself from wheezing in the gym.  Your performance, even on juice will be lowered drastically.

E,
Have you personally used Nicorette?
If so, did you notice it having a positive influence on your training performance?

I agree.  Man I never smoked cigs in my life but have burned my share of weed.  I go thru phases where for maybe a year or so not smoking herb then a 9 months smoking it.  Not much more that a few one hits a day.  Wonder how much this effects me?  I think it does.  During a comp diet though I always stop, cause the damn munchies will keep me fat otherwise LOL

Yes I have used it before.  It's a pretty good stimulant pre-workout, definitely gives you some focus.  Just be careful not to become addicted to the gum, because that's easily possible.

Smoking destroys your cardio, which is very important for weight lifting and just life in general.

A little weed every now and again is no big deal IMO.

I just stopped smoking after 4 years on and off.

It's unbelievable how my strength has catapulted ever since I quit.  ;)
