ex smokers that exercise, question

[Walter Szczerbiak]

i've been smoking and excersise for a long time and have never once stopped smoking to see how much my stamina/endurance can benefit from stopping.

Anyways, has anyone ever been in the position i'm in and just stopped smoking but kept excercising? Can you tell a big difference in your workouts, breathing, strength, etc? If so, please share

for sure. how many cigarettes a day do you smoke though? or just mostly weed?

It's considerable. I started smoking alot when i stopped training for a couple of years and when i started back up i was still smoking for awhile. when i dropped it everything got better, even my strength i think due to the additional oxygen that was being supplied from increased lung capacity. it's like night and day

i honestly feel like crap when i start smoking again and trying to train. i feel it especially after a weekend of booze, cigarettes and blunts

a little weed tho won't erally affect it

You will notice a big diffrence... Depends on your goals, if you plan on doing a marathon or Ironman I would suggest you drop the ciggys lol.

i don't smoke cigs, just the greenery

 

[calveless wonder]

depends how much green dood and how you smoke it

when i was smoking a couple of blunts a day my cardio capacity went to absolute shit.
smoking a couple of times a week wont really affect you. especially if you just hit a bowl here and there

It can still funk with you, if your smoking a 1/2 every 4 days. Not sure how much you puff, but pot is unfiltered and has very high levels of CBN which is very cancerus (sp). I don't think I bowl a day will hurt ya.

no, 90% of that team is white (or they are attracted to 16 yo white girls)

when i smoked weed hardcore i was running the two mile in 13 minutes
now that i've quit for a few months my time has only decreased slightly
strange, but i never felt cardio effects from getting blunted daily
