I was told that chewing is not good for your muscles and that it can actually hinder your gains. any truth to this?

Nicotine hinders gains is what I have always heard, but if you are anabolics it should not matter too much... I would worry more about Mouth Cancer. But I quit Dipping after hearing that rumour that nicotine hinders gains... might have been off Bodybuildingforyou.com.... let me find the post

its good for appitiete suppression......also a mild laxative

 

[variation]

it also raises metabolism significantly, so perhaps this is the reason behind hindering gains, any time you a burning off calories, it's taking away.. which people do anyone when they use things such as ephedrine...

a large rum as an energy drink during workouts- that's something u want to avoid as well.
