there has been many posts about this subject, research has showed that marijauna has no effect on muscles and that the estrogen problem is over-rated as well, i smoked everyday on my last cycle.. didnt hurt me any,helped me consume extra protein thoug from the munchies...

Arnold smoked weed before his workouts quite a bit-- said it helped him concentrate.

from everything i've read on it (and i've read a LOT) about the worst thing that will physically happen to you is that if you smoke heavily for years you may come down with chronic bronchitas <sp?>

i don't think it would help me concentrate while i was working out.

weed has some very nice physical sides like it lowers your
blood pressure cause you loose a good amount of water,
it relaxes your body after a hard wokout, it helps against headache and last but not least its a good antidepressant.
i don't know if i could smoke some before workout, never tried.

problem is that you mix it with normla cigarette tobacco; if
you smoke weed on it's own, it cleans the lungs (there was
somewhere a study about this phenomen)

I'm sorry but only a MORON would believe this. Harsh smoke into the lungs is bad no two ways about it. Heavy pot smoking will lead to lung disease and a good probability cancer. If you guys wish to be pot heads, fine, but don't kid yourselves into believeing that pot effects on the body are harmless. I would like to hear the opinions of some of the boards medical personal.

Um....

One drawback I see isn't so much "training" related.

If you get stopped by a cop and he smells weed on your body or breath, he'll have probable cause to search you and your car for weed or anything else he happens to find.

If you get stopped and you only have 24" pipes, he can't maintain probable cause to search your car for gear.

Just a thought.
