I remember reading that beer lowers metabolism 35% FOR ONE WEEK as alcohol takes a while to be COMPLETELY excreted from the body , and it needs nutrients to do this, (thus another reason why alcohol hinders gains). OK< so we all know alcohol (argh!) lowers metabolism. WHAT ABOUT MARIJUANA? It doesn't SEEM like it does. My heart rate is always racing while im smoked up, and if it was a big session (4 massive bowls/joints+) so will I get the heart beating quick the day after. Now, I see how this can hinder gains (maybe) as THC (marijuana's active compound) needs nutrients to be eliminated, as it is an alien substance. BUT DOES IT LOWER YOUR METABOLIC RATE? I dont think so at all. It definetely burns calories and would perhaps help people that are cutting up for summer. Do you have any insights on this topic? Thanks, blood     | ||

yeah well have you taken into account NONE of them lift? I know some pot heads that are lean AND muscular. I just think it keeps your metabolism high, it is simply my theory. What do you think>? | ||

Marijuanna increases your body's estrogen production, and suppresses the testosterone production. Do you really want that? Surely you can do it once in a while, but as a bodybuilding tool... don't be ridiculous. | ||

I think this is coincidental, these guys were like that before they started and just never pumped iron. Besides, you, as a bodybuilder, would eat "good" food when having the munchies but what would the "skinnies" eat, Macdonalds, ice cream, twinkies, kit kats? The one thing that does bother me about the stuff is what it will do to your lungs and oxygen uptake. Has to have a negative effect there. | ||

40 but pumpin, exactly my point. Its all coincidental. They were like that before they even lifted. It is currently a debunked myth now (so i understand) that all that test shit is bullshit. Thats why you CAN smoke during a cycle. I used to be a pot head. Naturally, I was muscular (and so is my dad). Seriously, i think that's the whole point. Any more insights? |
