Marijuana and Lifting

[roadwarrior]

Im training for competion and i smoke a night to calm down. all the trenbolone, masteron, Winstrol - stanozolol and all the shit im taking jacks me up and the weed keeps me level headed, calm. 1 mg xanax before bed also, I sleep like a baby. just two tokes of some purple's and Im all set.

Agreed... and not just for competition. I'm too old for that but I toke at night to relax. I would not toke before workout as it would take away my focus, drive, and aggression. I don't drink or do any other recreational drugs ( other than supps and cycle). I train hard in gym and dojo as well as am part owner of a technology consulting business. Two tokes at night when the day is over lets everything settle down and slide away so I can relax and sleep.

I personally wouldn't do it before workouts, but later at night I do.

I do it at times before a workout, it can go either way, most times Im more focused, other times it ruins the workout. I do it every night like most people here have said to calm down and get a good nights sleep

What is the pros and cons on the effects of marijuana and your workout?

Lou and Arnold use to smoke in the gym during their workouts

i personally think it kills motivation. i kdo know some top level athletes who swear by it claiming, intense workouts after useage, improved sleep and appetite. i still think it hinders instead of helps honestly.

always after !!!smoking before could cause you some focus problems i know from personal experience

Agree back in the day i used to toke-up before my workouts, these dayz i rarely smoke..........but i do keep a small sack for special occasions....it has definite medicinal uses

I honestly think it depends on what kind of bud you've got... some can just knock you down, other types can seem to give you more of an energy buzz... but still it comes down to how much you smoke and how your body reacts... I personally don't prefer it before training these days (actually haven't even smoked in I can't remmeber how long!! no pun)... but before training it seems to take some of my energy/motivation... that is to say directly before training... but after it's all good!! if earlier in the day I would just grab a quick nap a couple hours before I go train.

If I did it it would be after my workout cause I would be to lazy to even lift the weight. I have to get pumped before my workouts and weed would totally bring me down..
