ive been smoking dope for as long as ive been bodybuilding, yeah it fucks up the lungs no doubt but has it hindered muscle developement? i dont think so i notice a difference every month when i finish my 5lb tub of whey.

The only thing I can think of is when you squat down deep for that 10th rep, you'll feel it.
Just work through the burn.

huh?

All I have to say is I smoke my and probably your fair share of the good ol' Canadian Chron' and I can still run like a mutha fucka. The most important thing is to keep active I think. It would be rubbish to say that marijuana negitively impacts bodybuilding. I mean look at Arnold, yeah u saw that shit.

huh?

the lungs man. the lungs.

Hey brother, I certainly don't mean to preach or rag on you...but if you're doing some tokin', on the sauce and you're concerned about muscle growth??? You may wish to view your priorities. Smoking has a negative effect on the lungs, so well publicized I won't get into it, and the 'roids will take their toll on you eventually, no matter what anyone else tells you[businesses are out to make a buck, period], and the toking has legal issues - whether it will this or that for you isn't an issue, as it is illegal at this time.
Sadly, choices we make in our twenties WILL come back as health issues in our 40's and above, and you will find this out in time. There is no such thing as a "harmless" drug, it has effects - good and bad, or else why would it be worth taking? Just my 2 cents. Good luck brother.
Hope I helped...

Ain't nothing wrong with a little thc for your head every once and a while. I don't really worry about my lungs and I'm a runner. You don't have to smoke a lot like tobacco to feel the effects, the recommended dose of marijuana to get you nice and high is 2-3 hits(assuming the weed is good). That's really not going to effect your lungs too much.

I remember once I did a load on my back during a workout and really felt it at night and couldn't sleep because of it. I got out of my bed and took 2 hits out of my pipe and my back was cleared of all pain. God I love MJ

all this talk about negative effect on the lungs. yes, without any medical evidence I'd agree that inhaling any kind of smoke is bad for your lungs. I've been toking for a long time and I bet I can run up and down a basketball court for hours on end or lift weights at high intensity for 2 hours. I gained lots of muscle while smoking daily. could I have gained an extra few pounds without the weed? probably yes. but then again we could have all gained a bit more if we didn't eat half the thigns we do.
