smoking

[rez]

does smoking hinder muscle gains? will it lead to an increase in bf..or just decrease aerobic fitness?

Either bodybuild or smoke. Well I know this guy that gets high every day and is ripped as hell so i cant say you cant make gains while smoking.

Smoking shouldn't affect AS usage. The only problem is training while smoking since you can't process oxygen as effeciantly. Would be good to stop that shit anyway think of the cycle you could do with the money you save.

Damn! Aint that the truth!
Probably a grand every 6 months for a pack-a-day guy!

I just think of the HGH I could save up for not to mention some other goodies.

As an ex-smoker I can say for sure that smoking will reduce your gains by a good 30-50% over the long term. I also found it difficult to stay pumped and motivated as a smoker. And the stress of knowing what it was doing to my heart, lungs, arteries and my dick was too much to bear. It's not worth it bro - give it up and get serious about the lifestyle.

You won't understand what kind of difference it makes until you actually quit.

I thought smoking became illegal years ago here in the USA......hmmmmmmm people still do that huh? bunch of throw backs. If they seen my mother & grandmother (both barely alive), on oxygen knowing that the slightest cold could kill them anytime......they would not smoke.

people who smoke tend to get more Lactic Acid build up while weight training than those who don't,I would imagine this having something to do with the uptake of oxygen.
