THC's affect on muscle building?

[Hardgainer23]

Hi bros

I like to get high(Mary Jane) on occasion even at night after I work out. Does anyone know if this will affect my muscle growth or the steroids I am usnig? Any advice is needed.

Thanks
JC

hinders muscle development as far as i am concerned iam sure some will argue this but they are usually the ones who are smokeing away diminshied lung capacity , deminisioned aerobic and an aerobic activity capacity. carcinognes...not to mention its a form of estrogen

obviously it would be better to not inhale smoke into your lungs but there are worse things you could be doing.

personally I smoke, near every day at night after I workout. I usually just smoke and then prepare my meal (after my pwo shake). It makes it pretty fun and the food is oh so delicious.

As far as diminished aerobic performace, etc. I haven't noticed anything. I guess if you were toking up 3-4 times a day it could effect your lungs in a negative way regarding cardio. I find that if it's my first time during the week doing cardio (after the weekend, ie, smoke alot) I will struggle a little bit for the first few minutes but then my lungs get "cleared" and I can breath deeper.

Concerning the estrogen, there are tons of studies that says THC won't effect your estrogen level, but then again, i'm sure there are plenty that says it will. You gotta make your own decision on that one.

Take it from a Canadian...

NO.

There is no scientific link between THC and muscle building. Nor is there any link between THC and any physiological impairment (other than the obvious one of inhaling smoke in your lungs). Nope. No credible science (Americans take note of the word "credible" here). There's lots of non-credible information that says the stuff will reduce your gains (and make your dick fall off and your wife cheat on you, etc) but that information was funded and/or published by extremly biased organizations to reduce drug use in the good 'ol US of A.

Just a whole lot of propaganda from the DEA, and ONDCP. Our senate committee up here in Canada did a two year investigation into Marijuana and it's effects and dangers. I am one of the few who actually bothered to read the entire report.

Keep smokin and don't worry bout your gains. Worry about your ass getting busted for a victimless crime, and getting treated like a murderer by your own government.

tru dat to the 3rd power my rasta bruda
Personally, I have seen no results of MJ hindering muscle developement, and I don't use steroids. I've been smoking as long as I've been working out, and I see no reason why it would ever effect muscle mass.

The only thing I can think of is when you squat down deep for that 10th rep, you'll feel it.
Just work through the burn.
