does marijuana hurt your gains?

excuse? · 06-28-2005, 01:19 PM

sometimes after a workout i like to relax by smoking a little marijuana. i was just wondering if it hurts your muscles like it hurts your brain? i know its one good way to get my protein in, i normally eat 3 or 4 cans of tuna shortly after.

It will definitely hamper your recovery...BIG TIME! Don't smoke this shit...especially right after a w/o.

Well... it lowers your testosterone, and that won't help anything

Show me one legitimate study that says it will lower your testosterone any significant amount or hamper recovery. I've known lots of guys that got huge while smoking weed.....

As we all know every story has two sides, I have heard both but here is an article to check out from the library of medicine.

LOL, I have no idea what that means, but I know quite a few really big dudes that smoke lots of weed. And by big I don't mean fat. As a matter of fact, I made my best gains back when I smoked. Not saying that weed will make you stronger or bigger but it won't keep you from getting big unless you lay around smoking weed all day and never lift....

Out of context note to rcs6856: Smoke the funnygrass and get big.

Any other tips for me, MANimal? And any chance GarMANimal will make an appearance soon?

excuse?,

You could prob find a 100 studies to that "prove" both sides are right. Heres my advice: If you are getting bigger and stronger each week...then don't worry about it. Maybe try a month on and a month off and compare the results. There are so many genetic differences that it is impossible to accuratly predict how it will affect you.
