Any type of recreational drug isn't going to be beneficial to your bodybuilding goals. That is if you are trying to gain muscle. By the way--you spelled (Cannabis and Marijuana wrong) ------------------ "Faster, faster, until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death." | ||

Your cortisol and estro. levels rise and nat. test drops SIGNIFICANTLY. Put these 3 things together and ou can train as hard as you want but you won't even get close to the results of you weren't smoking. Trust me on this one, I had bloodwork done with different doctors and got the same answer with all of them. Now I haven't smoked for 5 mos. and I'm dropping fat and growing FAST. Time to reward myself with sone CHRONIC. ------------------ | ||

If your the type of person where it wont affect your motivation, go for it. It will increase your appetite, and relax you some. This one is debateable though. It won't work for me to do daily, but a couple times a month is good. Its better than alcohol. Slopain | ||

Gotta agree with Slopain on this one. Have it everyday or indeed b4 a workout and you will suffer. It makes it harder for you to concentrate and like smoking can leave you short breathed. I've smoked weed after workouts though and found it relaxes me to help me recuperate more and increased my appetite. Just don't overdo it bro. I find it much better than drinking. If you get drunk it is terrible working out the next day. Get stoned and the next day you won't have a hangover. BTW who's seen Pumping Iron? Arnold at the end toking. | ||

Go to www.hempcultivation.com scroll down and click on marijuana myths, it does not drop test significantly at all, smoking it every day isnt recommended either but moderate smoking is more than OK and highly recommended. ------------------ "SHINE SO VIBRANTLY THAT YOU MUST SQUINT TO CATCH A GLIMPSE" | ||

I dont think there is anything wrong with doing it occassionally. I'm here at college and one of my roommates smokes alot each day, so usually in the evenings I would smoke with them. For about 2 weeks I smoked about 5 times a week. I really noticed my motivation went to shit, my heartrate increased significantly on my sets and I became short of breath alot easier, so I've dropped it to about 1x/week. I feel 100% better. Also, in terms of bodybuilding, I think smoking is better than drinking for numberous reasons. Just keep it reasonable and there is no prob. | ||

So will 1000mg/w of test but are we gonna stop taking it? I've heard so many people say that cannabis will increase eostrogen but so far I havn't seen any scientific evidence. This may be true so if it is please point me in the direction of some. I have been using gear for six years now. I occasionally smoke weed as well. My last course was a MINIMUM of 1000mg test/week also with primo dep and up to 2 abombs a day. So far I have never experienced any sort of gyno. I didn't use nolvadex either although I've had the same box of it to hand for about 3 years now. It is due to expire soon. Maybee I'm just lucky. I'll probably sprout DD's tommorow for tempting fate. | ||

8pack I hear ya. Although I'm not huge yet but this next cycle is going to help. I'm a daily smoker and the only thing you have to worry about is losing your ambition. Oh and let you tell you that when I've got test in me I can't do anything but to try and look better. I get this sick amount of motivation to do pushups and situp at work all day long and train like a mad man. I think if you keep your goals in check there's nothing wrong with it. Since I smoke I never drink and I eat well too. Good day, Green | ||

now see i like to drink, but whe i'm on a cycle i know that drinking & gear combo will kill the liver! so... knowing that the gear already effects the natiral test production, a lillte smoke aint gonna lower it cuz its all artifical. Bottom line , its better than drinking and as slopain said, no decrease in moticvation...have fun!! relax <////////> ~ ~~ ~~~ ::cough::cough:: aahhhh | ||

It is not exactly benefitial but a few times a month isn't realy gonna hurt anything unless it causes you to lose motivation. For me, I like working out when I am high because I seem to get more intense workouts. |
