I can't wait to see what Green and Moe Dank have to say about this. I personally smoke dank, and I must admit, it is definitely not a motivator, and it does increase my desire for carbohydrates. HOWEVER, I smoke either after a workout, or on an off day from the gym. I have learned to control the munchies quite well, and it helps me relax, especially after coming home from the gym at 10:00 and needing to go to sleep prtty much right at 10:30. You'll get conflicting opinions on this. It is definitely not healthy in any way shape or form (other than mentally). However, the sides are much less than gear (in general, for most people), so if you're willing to do gear, pot is "less harmful". I am disgusted by people who know little about it, and espouse their myths regarding its effects, as I am similarly disgusted when people do the same with gear...you think a gearhead would understand that SUSTHEAD!!!

I guess I will post this shit over hear as well. Marijuana contains 19 essential elements including boron, magnesium and zinc. Remember anything abused is bad for you in the long run, whatever it may be, with the herb that I grow and smoke I need 2 to 3 hits at the most to be high for a solid 4 hours, next I usually smoke through water or some type of filter. Marijuana is beneficial for a person like myself who eats 10 meals a day to spark some type of appetite when I am not that hungry, if it does increase estrogen, its not enough to cause gyno, remember herb can also be ingested through cake, brownies, spaghetti sauce and tea.

Nothing like going to the gym stoned! I mean I get in there and kick ass. It helps me relax and focus on what I'm doing. You also go into weed time and you don't take much time in-between sets. I'm sure there are negative sides to smoking just like everything else but it gives me a good appetite and I don't ever want to drink. When I go to a club I just fire up and have 1 beer then water. I used to be a borderline alcoholic when I was in college so I know how hard alcohol is on the body. Plus.. No calories! Later, Green IP: Logged |

Funny how all pot heads think pot is good for them. It is not good for you, it makes you stupid, wastes your money, and cooks your lungs. The bottom line is that your lungs were not designed to breathe smoke. I think if all the smokers and pot heads in the world had asthma like I, maybe they would not take their lungs for granted. And if you need pot to relax you and help you sleep then you need to hit it harder in the gym, I crash hard every night. I am sure I will be flamed for this cause of the roids, but pot was never found naturally in my body, and does nothing to build your strength, speed, and endurance like roids, quite the opposite. Plus I have never seen roid stickers, hats and t-shirts celebrating roids like you do with all the potheads. IP: Logged |

MP5, once again a moronic response, being that I have 2 degrees and going for my masters with a consistent GPA of 3.3 and played collegiate basketball and pro overseas and 240lbs at 5'10 with 6% bf only 24 years old ALL NATURAL with genetics and dedication that is rarely matched and having growed and smoked herb for the last 7 years of my life I would like to say you are completely incorrect in your response, you should not stereotype every person that smokes, everyone is different, many people with asthma either ingest herb or use a vaporizer, intelligent pot smokers have high grade marijuana where 2 or 3 hits is efficient enough for them to get through the day, they dont inhale in a week the amount of one cigarette. Not a flame just the truth. IP: Logged |

Actually MP5, bud is good for asthma. It is a bronchial(sp) dialator. It expands the bronchial tubes allowing greater oxygen flow into the body. For a long time and in many places weed is used as an asthma treatment. The lungs have the ability to cleanse themselve of polutants, it's part of thier job. So if they are not over poluted with the smoke they are completely capable of cleaning themselves out. Along with that it lowers blood pressure and slightly lowers body temperature, so scientificly it does actually relax the body, it's not all in the mind. There are many theraputic uses for this great plant and it was put on this planet for a reason. It and human culture have co-existed and evolved together since the begining of mankind. There is no need to fear this plant. The information we hear about it was all government propaganda that started in the 1930's. After decades of beating this incorrect information into the heads of already brainwashed society it has become the norm. If used in moderation it is benign. IP: Logged |

i agree with havoc and the others..i burn and i also take care of my body by not eating junk or letting the drug 'control' me. i don't use it when i am working out and there isn't anything wrong with doing some after and/or on an off day. the shit doesn't ruin your body or give you tits either. this isn't the place to preech the values/benefits of weed (i.e. good for the ozone, cancer relief, etc) but people that say pot causes you to get fat, stupid, etc don't understand that those who do get fat and stupid would have even without the use of pot. if pot ruins someone's life, it's because they didn't have the willpower/self-control to do it. i will now get off my soapbox.

Havoc, I am glad you are so proud of yourself. You are probably a rec major or a PE major anyhow. "intelligent pot smokers have high grade marijuana where 2 or 3 hits is efficient enough for them to get through the day", so 2 or 3 hits a day is better for you than clean air? I have heard the rumor of it being a bronchodialator but so is my inhaler and it is not loaded with tar. Plus it does not give me that smokers cough and stupid laugh that all pot-heads have. Nor does it make me wear hemp necklaces, tie dye, birkenstocks, or use such phrases as "right on", "be kind to your mind". And as far as it being natural, so it Radon, mercury, poison ivy, sumac and the list goes on, that does not mean we are supposed to mess with it. IP: Logged |

Personally I dont fuck with the shit and dont plan on it. It stinks, and people act like zombies when they are rocked on it. Maybe Im just a control freak, but I like to have full capability of all my mental functions at all times. Now with all medical mumbo jumbo aside, let someone who smokes show me some hard evidence it dont impair neurological functions in the brain, and I may look at it a bit different. And say what you want, but 2 doctors Ive discussed this with that I have been monitored by said that in gyno prone people, pot can cause an eventual gyno problem. Hell Macrophage posted something awhile back about alcohol and pot containing phytoestrogens I believe...something along those lines. I dont do the shit so I cant go into specifics. And as far as your response on the chat board, well I wont fucking rant on that, but its been a total joke lately.

Same shit with juice and weed. In high school I thought if you did either one you were a huge loser or cheater. The truth of the matter is what makes you happy. If you like being huge your going to take juice. Fact juice puts stress on your body. Fact so does weed. But I don't have to take supplements to counter act the negative effects of smoking weed. Anyone live in LA, NYC or Chicago? Take a deep breath. Pollution is worse than smoking dope. Fact. What I'm getting at is if you use anything you can justify it's use. No matter what it is. Shit I just read a thread about using coke to lean out. Huh?! As for weed, it's no worse than going to a club to show off your hard work to the ladies sipping on a gin and tonic. LAter, Green shit. Maybe weed is the cause of my ambition to push a car around the block a few times a night.... IP: Logged |

Coke for cutting , weed for bulking, this is turning into the narcotics discussion board. Who ever opened this can of worms should have known better. I argued against coke , that other thread was ridiculous, weed does eem somewhat harmless, I smoke maybe once a week or every two weeks with my girl, def. relaxing, gives me huge munchies though, and I am very lethargic the next day, this is all on 1/2 a joint. I have read that it lowers test levels, true or not I do not know. I will agree with the statement that rec drugs and A.S., should not be combined, especially the harder stuff(x, coke, K, etc.) because your liver is under enough strain as it is. You know what though , if iti makes you happy to smoke some weed after the gym, fuck it, ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Coke for cutting is an asshole move. My.02 ------------------ IP: Logged |

Bottom line, dank is the shit and is more benefical(sp?) to your training success then bad. Need to gain weight? Smoke. Need to train today with a different perspective? Smoke. Want a pump you haven't had since you've first started working out? Smoke. Weed gives you the ULTIMATE mind-body connection. Depending on how lit you get, you will feel particular muscle fibers work, and like what was said before, you are in "weed time" so what seems like a 5 min. rest is more like 45 sec. to 1 min. I could sit here all day and try to prove myself right. But instead I am going to offer a challenge to the skeptics; Get a dime sack and next Arm session (or any favorite muscle) smoke. Before you get the gym you HAVE to get motivated. Whatch a BB movie or go through some old pics of Arnold and Sergio while your lit. Go to the gym, train and you'll end up coming back two hours later! Not a lazy two hour session, but a intense two hours! Of course you could always cut the time, if your one of those "new scientific studies suggest anything more then an hour is bad" types, but you may not want to. Just follow these simple guidlines; 1]Don't get so lit you can't focus on something. ------------------ IP: Logged |

I love to smoke too, I agree what most of you are saying except I can't do it before the gym. I'll do it if I'm not lifting or after lifting. I tried lifting stoned and had a bad workout. MP5 what's your major? Im a PE/Health major and I think you couldn't pass 1/2 the classes us PE majors have to take, such as biomechanics, kinesiolgy, anatomy, motor learning....just to name a few. I wish there was some real proof of what pot does to you. And those who made that stereotype comment about pot smokers wearing hemp necklaces, tie dye etc. are being just plane stupid, thats like saying all BB(juice heads)are stupid. Not all of us are trying to be a prof. BB. I lift and juice to feel better about my self, to be stronger, and look better, I'm going to school for what I want to be, and if I feel like smoking pot I'll do it. I'm not saying pot is good or bad for you, I see its ups and downs , but I see it in roids too. Anyway my opinion is I like to do both, you only live once so enjoy it while you can. IP: Logged |

I can agree that if you use it as a crutch to get through the day you might consider it a problem. But like me I'm an evening smoker. I don't touch the stuff until my day is coming to an end. After work I like to go home shower, relax, smoke up a bit and go to the gym. I come home chow down some grub and get on this damn board again. On the weekends I tend to smoke more but that's because I like to sit arround the pool all day soaking up the rays. LAter, Green IP: Logged |

i never smoke before lifting, it makes me tired (but i love 1/2 a hit of l.s.d.!). doing cardio while lit is fun, though, especially if you're wearing a walkman. i only smoke a little after a late workout to relax enough to go to sleep. it can only be a couple of hits, though, or the next day i feel tired as shit. oh yeah, and green's right, i usually love sticking myself with needles, but if i do it stoned, it's VERY weird and painful!

Right on, WCP. I agree. The chat board has turned to complete and total shit. Worse than an AOL chat room. Pot sucks. If you wanna discuss it's effects on bodybuilding... post the topic here. You wanna bang ego's on if it's good or bad for you... take it to chat. Here's some great info courtesy of Macro: cannabis does not actually raise estrogen levels- it itself has phytochemicals that are estrogenic- it has phytoestrogens- these are a defense mechanism of plants to reduce the fertility of their predators. thus smoking can reduce your production of testosterone, give you bitch tits- if done heavily enough, and make you store fat like a women- a gynoid fat storage pattern- but other than that and the laziness factor I dont see why it would affect you to much.

Well I don't do the stuff either, so I don't know from personal experience but I am a medical student and have had to study pharmaceuticals in depth including marajuana, they have even found new uses for marajuana in the medical community recently, it is used rarly but for catoracts, (slowing down blood pressure through eye to reduce) Severe pain associated with some life debilitating condition (rare) also for increasing appetite in cancer, aids patience (I have read but rare also) I read a few months ago they use for people with scoliosis. I am no doctor just passing info. [ But as far as for Body builders I also know that marajuana does in fact over time lower testoserone levels to the point of eventualy impotence in excessive/chronic users, It effects the short term memory so some users forget quickly. Marajuana has been classified in medical journals as a hullucnigan. Motivation is low in most users reported ability to compr. situations is slowed (Driving, motor skills, etc.) Ability to perform sexually is absent eventually even desire. Long term destroying stored memory/ long term memory.] I do not look down on people who use marajuana I have friends who still use but most of them are still in the same ole town working for 6-7 dollars an hour, and have a mind like a post! There are exceptions not all marajuana users have no life. There are Senior V.P.'s that smoke, all back grounds. To sum this ESSAY up (Weed does not build muscle, it will not effect you physically extremly if you do not abuse it, but gives you no advantage physically or mentaly unless for medical purposes used for and this goes with any pharmaceutical if abused it will hurt you.) Sorry for the 500 words essay! IP: Logged |

Alcohol is not a good suplement to partake in either yes you are correct. Alcohol is nothing but emty calories no nutritional value. You can't go to the gym work hard and then get drunk it does no good because potien is used to repair holes you put in your liver and yes it can speed aroma. Taking steriods and drinking is extremly straining your liver. Occasonal drinking/social drinking on off days can be even healthy in very small amounts (2 beers/glass of wine/shot of hard alcohol-not recomended as previous.) Small amouts 3 times a week can lower bad cholesterol levels. IP: Logged |

I have read before that some body builders before a show would take a shot of sherry right before they went on stage because of the initial stimulant properties (that pump you initialy get from alcohol)that alcohol has at first even though it is a deppresant. (Of course out dated this practice) I even have read of a contestant taking too much, performing like the village drunk in some early english novel and won second place because of his proformance achieving to win the crowd because they were laughing so hard. The trick to this practice was that they drank twice as much water too before doing so so as not to pass out of dehydration due to working out before contest.(Which has also happened before/ Contestants passing out because of dehydration.)
