Dipping copenhagen. Question?

Okay I have talked to a few people before about this and I am know asking elite. I am under the impression that nicotine constricts the blood vessels there by limiting the amount of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles. So if I am dipping about a can or so a day, does this really have a big impact on my progress? Also would this decrease vascularity? Or is this a stupid question? Thanks....
 
I smoke half a pack a day and have made great gains.
I used to dip copenhagen (fine cut) too, when I lived up
north. That shit is way more addictive than smoking.

As far as vascularity, I don't know what effect it would
have. I would think that it would increase vasularity
if anything cause it boosts your blood pressure.
 
Dude, I chewed a can a day and quit cold turkey about a month ago. I have even gained some weight at the same time and I just came off a deca only cycle for 8 weeks. Quitting was the toughest thing I ever did but my mouth feels a hell of a lot better.
 
I am trying to quit skoal, a can every 2 days. This shit is way more addictive than smoking and VERY hard to quit. I don't think it made any difference in my body. It's just fucking gross as hell.
 
I dip about 2-3 dips per day, and at that low of usage I haven't noticed any drop off in gains. The way I see it, anything that helps me relax, I'm all about it!
 
I did that for awhile...if you're doing cope, go down to skoal, lower nicotine level, then eventually i started dipping less and less a day till i finally quit, it worked for me
 
I love to chew. Started with kodiak but finally switched to skoal and eventually quit. Skoal does have lower nicotine levels and chewing suppresses appetite. It doesn't make a big difference but i suggest you quit right before you bulk because you will be stuffing everything under the sun into your mouth to kick the craving.
 
My routine at the gym is buying a thermo speed drink and downing it as soon as I walk in the door. It has 200mg of caffeine. When I'm done I put in a fat ass dip of Copenhagen Long Cut. I keep that in during my whole work out and I can't lift any other way now. The drink and the Cope gets my heart going and I go nuts. People don't know how I dip and lift but I love it so damn much. When I'm not dipping I'm smoking. I am highly addicted to nicotine. I need to quit one day because of health and money. Try buying a pack of Marlboro Lights and copenhagen everyday. It sucks on the wallet. Anyway to answer your question. No it doesn't affect gains. If you are trying to gain like 40 pounds then maybe but only because you're not eating as much because you are always dipping. But other than that I have always seen sufficient gains and I am a dumb ass nicotine head.
 
I've been alternating between smoking and dipping copenhagen for many years. If you've got to do one, dipping is better than smoking because you can still fucking breathe when you just dip. Neither are good for you and you'd be much better off without them, of course. But hey, life is pretty boring without at least one bad habit.:)
 
I used to dip a can a day and quit 4 1/2 years ago, cold turkey. I had never realized how much it suppressed my appetite. quit dipping and watch how much more muscle you will build. If we have enough self-discipline to workout like everbody body on this board claims then you can quit dipping and smoking. The pain is only temporary. Remember this next time you laugh at people who say "I could get that big if I wanted too" We all know the don't have the drive or determination or self-control. These are the things that set us apart from "normal" people. We are the masters of our lives.
 
Damn I figured I was the only one this board who dipped snuff. I dip about a can every other day of Skoal Long Cut Straight. I set a date to quit which is next Sunday and I am going to try it. Thats how a couple of friends of mine quit. They set a date that was a few weeks away so that would have time to think about it and get prepared. I hope it works it fucking addictive and costs too much. I pay $3.12 a fucking can.
 
I quit smoking by starting to dip, then I cut down to Bandits and Red Man and it
was easy to quit from there. I do think it can kind off kill your appetite. I've gained
quit a bit of weight in those 3 years. I've heard that they have done some studies
that showed nicotine hampers short term strength somewhat.
 
I also dip Skoal Straight. Prices for dip went up last week in CA. One can of Staight now costs $7.98 at 7-11! I guess it's a good time to quit....
 
Hell yeah Ironclan that is the same with me. Only difference is that I go through about a can a day. Those fuckers! I wish they would quit so that I can too. I pay$4.50 a damn can. I am going broke doing this shit.
 
If any of you guys ever drive by Cumberland Farms convenient store on Rt 73 in Mapleshade, NJ give them the finger for me. $5.33 for a friggin' tin of skoal straight! I almost shit myself, but then I realized that I should just pay it because I was completely out of dip and I was too tired to go anywhere else. Fuckin' highway robbery on Rt 73!!! Watch out for it.
 
I like kodiak; it's long cut but its strong! They just came out with a new brand too.. It's called kodiak ICE.. It's more of a spearmint than a winter green..
 
I have been chewing for 8 years and currently chew a can of Rooster a day. As the other Cali brothers know the prices have skyrocketed here. I saw it for 9.29 a can in the store the other day. I have no choice but to quit now. Just think about all the "other" things I can buy now that I am not spending over 100 a month on dip. :p I have never noticed any effects on training from it but I read once that in a test group of dippers and non dippers there was a 19% strength deficit of the dippers from the non-dippers. Whether there was any validity to the test is unknown.
 
i have to have it when i do anything.. watch TV. work on my car. even wghen i take a shower i have a dip.
only time i take it out is when i sleep(SOMETIMES) or when i workout:):)
 
try the patch, or if you are into the oral fixation, the gum, or if you really can't quit, and are tired of filling up cups and looking really disgusting, try coke
 
I can't believe how many nasty ass dippers are on this board (myself included). I am going to get the f'ing gum and try that-it's just so expensive (the gum).

I can't believe how expensive things are in California!!! In Georgia, dip is 2.75/can, gas is $1.15/gallon, and you can buy a 3,000 sq.ft. brand new house for around $215,000. I've been to CA before - granted it's very fucking cool and beautiful (landscape and women), but I don' t know how anybody makes it financially there.
 
Readin this post really brings back some memories I have dippin Cope. I used to be in the Navy and dipped on the Flight Deck and everywhere for that matter. When I moved to Tokyo you can't buy it here so i had to quit, but everytime I get off the plane in LA or NY, I take a cab to get a can. I have quit now for several years, but still like a dip once I hit US Soil.

CAN ANYONE SEND ME SOME COPE? I CAN PAY YOU!!!!! :mix: :mix:
 
Brings back memories for me too. I chewed about a tin every 2 days and quit a few months ago. Sometimes I miss it. I don't really miss my teeth being stained yellowish brown though.
 
I agree with rydog, quitting chewing was the hardest thing I have ever did. Well over a can a day & I miss the shit. I quit cold turkey also............. Face it bro, if you chew cope, YOU CHEW!! BOTTOMLINE. There is nothing nice about that shit, but everyone loves it. Just say fuck it & quit. I believe it is totally mental............
 
I'm so fuckin glad I quit. I chewed Cope, started with long cut but that shit is weaker than short so then switched to short. Was going about a can every 1.5-2 days. I was only chewing for about 2 years and it fucked up my gums, can't imagine guys who've been doing it for years...damn.
 
I don't man to sound like your mom but....many of you are just asking for some good ole oral cancer. 5 year survival rates are very low, around 10%. If your lucky you'll die. The unlucky ones have most of their lower jaw removed. No more solid food...ever
 
nicotine Definitly messes you up imo. After 2 years in the Marines I started smoking and I ended up smoking almost 2 packs a day! I went from a 21-22 min 3 mile to a 25 in 6 months! I got married and finally quit cold turkey after the 3rd time. After that I started Skoal Strait and did that for the next 7 years but 1 can would last me 3-4 days cause i only did it at work. It started messing up my gums and a guy at work got mouth cancer and died! At that same time my 6 year old daugter gave me one of those papers from the doctors office that show you what it does to your mouth and that was it for me. Every once in awile when i get really drunk ill bum some off someone.
 
I’ve been dipping Kodiak for about 10 years now. Dipping is one of the toughest addictions I have ever had to deal with. Other than ‘roids, it’s my only vice.

Next week I’m going to the dentist for a cleaning. After that, and I’ll try to quit again. :o
 
MY GOSH! I had no idea people still dipped, Don't worry about any of the side effects from the roids, dipping is 10 times worse than any roid you will ever do :)
