smoking weed and Bodybuilding
This is one topic I dont mind telling of my real world experience. I will start out with this. The only time I ever really really started slacking off in the gym and missing workouts was when I was smoking about an ounce a week.
I say this because Its true, and as a chemical demotivator, science backs this up as well. Smoking weed on a day to day basis, does cause lack of motivation in most people. I SAY MOST PEOPLE because I happen to have ADD ADHD, and the introduction of THC and the relaxing effects actually , in moderation helps me relax and also ,beleive it or not, study. I still have to take my add adhd meds, but I do find myself zoning out in my books, and I have to think that the smoke slows me down enough to process information, in a cognial linear motion compared to scattering about. Does smoking weed hurt your bodybuilding? In the right context I would say not much. I have read the research on estrogenic compounds and I have noticed under heavy smoking (3 to 6 joints) per day I could tell there was more gyno stimulation and overall bloat. I easily fixed this with taking 3 to 6 6 oxo's per day.
Iam not about to say that smoking grass is the devil, cause we all know ciggs and alcohol kill millions and even loved ones we all know. I really dont think smoking weed is that bad for bodybuilding, if you have the perception and day to day inner feedback, to think, "Am I progressing as much as I could" and also the scientific knowledge of its effects. I have to say moderation is best. Personally if Iam training serious I only enjoy cannibis maybe one night a week. I just got over a horrible flu type virus and lost 10lbs in one night barfing and ****ting my guts out , and a joint of good green weed really did take the pain away for a while, and that was nice. When
It comes to weed, Its always better than alcohol and ciggs, but all together, none help maxumum athletic performance for maximum effort (sports etc) I have smoked ciggerattes during dieting and noticed it did help in a few ways. But finally I got to thinking if Iam not taking sauce and insulin, Iam dieting on hardcore therms and smoking weed and ciggs. You can justify anything but remember when you get older,and you will, The Reaper will come,,,, and you will pay the price.
long story short keep the booze and the green to a minumum
1 to 2 drinks a day MAX for longevity (this is not for serious trainers)
2 to 4 joints a week I would say, wont kill ya.
And, now that the lecture is over, If you find yourself buying more beer and grass than you do protein and food,,,, youve crossed the line. stop partying and get your ass back in the kitchen and gym. The Pirate has spoken!
