What effect does drugs have on workouts?

[mayhems]

For example does blowing coke or smoking weed effect your muscle mass/strength? I know whe u sniff you tend not to be hungry therefore losing weight.. but say u do that while eating and working out hardcore.the negative side effects?

all comments are welcome

i like to take some ecstasy right before i lift and when the barbell collapses my chest cause i put 8x45lb plates on each side cause it felt soo good, i love it cause the barbell just feels soooo good on my chest and my cracked ribs rubbing up against my lungs feels sooooo good it makes me want to take a bath and lick my lips.

But seriously, I think drugs + lifting is always a bad idea.
However, theoretically stimulants like meth and coke should help you increase intensity

meth is taken pre workout, coke is for cutting, weed is for bulking, extacy is for 'drying out' that last few lbs of stubbon water.

you might think only someone who was borderline MMR would think that, but amazingly enough that's what some actual real kosher big bb'ers do.. blows my mind (no pun intended)

I think drugs are pretty gay no matter what the circumstances.

I dont think smokeing weed will hurt your lifts at all. Except make you to lazy to go to the gym. If you prioritize lifting and smoke latter you should be cool. I read a couple studys that say it may be a good tool for weight loss. The studys said that the average pot head weighs less than the averge none pot head. But they consume like 1000 more calories and work out far less. I dont smoke so dont lisen to me ahhahahahha.
