smoking

Well....other then not making any sense working out to be healthy and then going and smoking, and putting thousands of chemicals in your body that can fuck up growth, not to mention causing cancer...............

The most impacting on bodybuilding would probably be that it suppresses your appetite, when you need it the most, post-workout.
 
Nicotine supposedly keeps Leptin up and also your metabo, your body has to work hard to dispose of/metabolize all those Toxins in smokes. But thats no excuse.
 
OTP, but I used to Dip all the time after working out, then one of the huge "meat head" type guys at the gym (don't mean to offend anyone, but I was small at the time... now Im considered one) who was pretty health conscious about supplementation said he had read somewhere that Nicotene can keep you from adding muscle to the best of your body's abillity due to it stripping something out of the muscle, and retarding recovery.

That is true but I have heard that smoking a PACK a day is equivalent to 30 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise. It's better to go with the later.
 
Highly simplified, consider this....

When you breathe in, an oxygen molecule jumps into a red blood cell and gets transported around your body. Then when it finds its target cell, the oxygen molecule jumps off.... and a carbon-dioxide molecule jumps on. And then the red blood cell transports the C02 molecule back to the lungs where it is exhaled....

....red blood cells are like a taxi. Every cell in your body needs oxygen to stay alive, let alone grow and become bigger and stronger (in the case of skeletal muscle cells). And vice versa for C02, which is toxic and poisonous. The red blood cells take oxygen from the outside of your body, into the working cells.... and vice versa for C02.

When you smoke, you inhale carbon monoxide.... and it attaches to the red blood cell. This means oxygen can't get to the working cells, and carbon dioxide can't leave the body.

When you smoke, you're starving your body cells of the oxygen they need to live.

Not to mention what you're doing to your lungs.... coating the inside of the alveoli, so that gas exchange can't occur. Every cigarette you smoke, you're reducing the surface area your lungs has to breathe.
