Obviously smoking weed lowers one's energy, ambition, drive, passion, etc etc.

But does it have any effect on muscle growth?

I have a decent diet, I lift 4-5 times a week and I take some supplements, but I most definitely get stoned on a consistent basis. Never before workouts, only after.

It usually leads to me resting on the couch and devouring massive amounts of food and protein products.

Will the ganja effect the growth of my muscles though?

(please say it makes you bigger.......lol) cool.gif

We have been down this road before so before it gets out of hand I'm moving it out of this section.

Smoke up! It won't hurt your gains at all. Just don't let your diet get out of hand when you're stoned. That is, lay off the twinkies, cheetos, and milk shakes. It may lower test levels, but the amount is insignificant and temporary.

Its less harmful to your muscles then alcohol.

ARE YOU SHPONGLED????

worm-eaten door, making pinholes in it with increasing
ease. The time has come to kick it down, for it is only
on the other side that everything begins.

It can be an effective supplement for gaining if used responsibly. Like Roids said, stay away from the junk food -- stick to the good stuff. I'll eat a can of tuna (no mayo), about 4 or 5 servings of peanut butter or a slab of salmon with crackers.

Bad idea? A bag of Funyuns, king sized Skittles, bag of Oreos, et al. laugh.gif

Edit: Not to mention it encourages me to lift harder knowing I can "kill the pain" later cool.gif

Nice, glad to know I can still get superhigh without it taking away from getting big.

I've been using cottage cheese as a snack (cuz of the hight protein) and doing Whey Protein shakes with banana and peanut butter as snacks between my normal meals.

Dude, it's like a means of bonding. It makes people closer. If everyone smoked once in a while, like we wouldn't have so many wars and so much violent crime. It should be legal, like it's our god-given right to smoke. It like totally natural. People who don't smoke just like totally don't understand.

I bet if we could be Bin Laden and George to sit down and fire up a fatty all our problems would be solved.

I've absolutely bonded with the majority of my friends over a fatty, or a bowl, etc etc. Less dangerous than alcohol if you ask me.

If you're black-out drunk, you're more likely to get into a car accident, get into a fight, smack a girl, etc etc....if you're stoned, you're most likely to watch Super Troopers, eat lots of food and take a nap.

Gotta love a fat bowl after a post-workout shower.

I tend not to shower until I get home (I live like 5 minutes from Gold's) -- that and I like to start the ritual before my shower wink.gif.

Same here. I live in NYC, my gym is 2 subway stops and a few block walk from my apartment (probably 12 minutes total) so I shower when I get home too.

Always an extra relaxing shower when you're stoned as hell, it's cold outside and the water is steaming hot.

I know you're supposed to drink a protein shake right after lifting, but what's the time limit there? Does it matter if I do it like 45 min after, or does it need to be immediate?

smoking weed will lower your test levels, if you smoke say once a week it wont be enough to have any real significance, but if your a pure pot head like some off my mates, and god forbid like i used to be then yes it will effect your gains.

Those claims are disputed by much more recent studies

i thought this was true, but perhaps just another popular myth

theres nothing wrong with sittin back and suckin back a fatty here and there... if you havent been already..get your ass to amsterdam! biggrin.gif biggrin.gif
