Marijuana and T-Levels

[JKurz1]

Hey, I'm not arguing. Like I said, I don't have a leg to stand on. All I can tell you is what I've read. It's the same thing with alcohol, as it lowers T levels as well. I guess my thoery is anything that is toxic to the body, could/may/most likely will have some sort of an effect on Test, as it is EXTREMELY sensitive. Even if it's a matter of not letting you sleep as deeply or as long as you should, or eating the wrong/shitty foods cause you're stoned....whatever the case, I just feel as though it HAS to effect it in some way.

Now, having said that, I could really care less....do it if you so chose.

Chronic drug use, other than steroids of course, is going to inhibit your results from bodybuilding. I don't care if it's coke, meth, marijuana, or alcohol.

Hmm, interesting. However I was speaking to one of my profs today about this (he's a ph.d in bio), and he was telling me that marijuana will lower it abit for someone who uses it often, but even then the decreases in t are minimal at that. He was comparing to how people think mj increase your metabolic rate, and it does, but insignificatly. More or less, he was trying to tell me that its going to have the same affects on me as say sleeping less or eating incorrectly (junk food all the time low nutrional foods).

shit i know people who smoke up before they go workout. they dont juice and are huge. i imagine theres something else they are doing. i asked them if it decreses their intensity and they said no we can concentrate more on what have to do. oh well whatever works for them. i wish i could do that. oh well

I doubt they can concentrate more. They're just spewing bullshit because they don't want to disrespect good ol' MJ. Of course they're better off with it, and can focus more.

They're probably huge because though it does effect T-levels, it's nominal, they get the munchies and eat a fucking ton (an assumption, of course, I don't know them), and they still train.

Actually i worked out on MJ before, A strong sativa is very motivating and the intensity was quite high. More importantly the pain and burn that makes you stop a set is greatly diminished, this is why you can push yourself just a tad more on a good sativa MJ. And sativa hardly causes any munchies, munches are usually a side effect of an indica, a extreme munchies are a result of low quality MJ.

I've worked out while high before too. While sometimes I felt it helped concentration other times it just made me feel like going home.....so I think it just depends on your mindset for that day....

I smoke nugget and my stomach turns into a bottemless pit.....which can be a good thing if I have some good foods ready to eat...I don't buy junkfood so it's never around....which is good otherwise I would prolly just grab a bag of chips or something

MJ does not Lower test. It's unsubstantiated mumbo jumo perpetuated by the anti MJ lobbies. Next think you guys will be saying is that it can give you gyno, is physiologically addictive, that it will make you crazy blah blah blah. Nothing could be further from the truth.

What does happen to some, and it's been proven by MJ supporters is that it can cause something called the "amotivational syndrome". That happens usually with daily smokers. You go into a pernmanent state of lethargy (until you quit), this can be accompanied by lower test levels, just like it would be if you were chronically tired. This is easily preventable by not abusing it. Abuse anything and it's positives quickly become negative. Alcohol in small quantities can bump test levels, drink too much and they drop like a brick.

are you joking or being serious because I saw a program on gyno and the use of cannabis can lead to gyno!

I don't believe that for a second. Jerking off can give you gyno, too. Anything can be related to anything.
