Thoughts on smoking Herb after Lifting???????

ad

I have been told that after a good workout taking a few bong tokes is actually good for muscle soreness and good for your muscle's as well... Does anyone have more information on this topic???

O and like son of a god said I didnt get sick while I smoked weed not even so much as a sniffle

Truthfully I've had my best gains from smoking while cycling. I would always blaze after my gym workouts relaxed my muscles and increased my need to eat. Unfortunately I stopped smoking for almost two years now due to bad acid reflux. It would make it act up so bad to the point where I felt as if I was gonna swallow my tongue

Want some personal info and not bro science and not bS like all this other shit below!

I take scripted marinol everyday, 5mg x 2-4 times per day, it helps me eat (stimulate Appetite) and helps my stomach digest foods! I suffer gastro paresis (Paralyzed stomach)

I also smoke high grade sativa and on occasion indica marijuana by water pipes or "bongs" up to 1.7g a day!

It allows me to eat and relaxes my muscles after workout; feels good! Arnold did it too!

It also Drys my mouth, creates a rise in B/P and pulse too!

I have no gynocamastia issues at all been smoker for over 12 yrs daily!

I am a professional and work harder and react quicker than most whom don't use!

I COULDN'T LIVE without THC to stimulate my hunger, naturally I would not eat and it sucks to be relatively dependent on any drugs to create what should happen naturally!

That's my 0.2cents but at least it actually experience and not parrot bs!

I thought the same thing. I guess technically we are in agreement so I just let it go.

Smoking sucks,do the bho conversion,and youre getting most of the thc out of it,and eliminating the vegetable matter.They sell e cigs that you put your oil in,its economical,way more effective,and you can take it anywhere.An eighth should get you 1gram if its fire.I personally cant do it and go to gym,but everyones different.btw you can bake w it too.

Yes I know. Hardcore stoners have their minds made up to ignore any legitimate peer reviewed science warning its ill effects. Weed is an additional risk factor in AAS users who are a population already particularly vulnerable to develop gyno and I hope to save someone the thousands of dollars in expenses for surgery, pain, and possible permanent disfigurement of having to deal with this problem that i have seen which SonOfaGoad has not.

Pale's picture

Lots of AAS users here and plenty of cannabis users as well. How about finding one here that blames MJ for their Gyno.... Google is your friend, use it.

aronl's picture

No I just said I have dealt with people with gynecomastia not that I ever proved it happened in a specific individual solely from marijuana abuse. And pot is definitely associated with gynecomastia if you know anything about this problem even if it isnt directly causative on its own in a given person. So what if you havent seen it yourself. Ive never seen a wild elephant either so I guess that means they dont exist.

Earlier studies have NEVER been able to be duplicated. Meaning, big brother wanted you to believe. Congratulations big brother, you found two guys to believe you.

I don't know about it actually being good for sore muscles but I do know that smoking slows down blood flow to the muscle which is counter productive. The first thing i would do if I were you is eat. Then if you have to get high wait a couple hours.

dont think id agree that its good for muscles or especially muscle soreness. water, glutamine post WO, sleep, these are good for muscle soreness. Pain patients take cannabis mainly for soreness associated with nerve pain or pain caused by nerve problems. MOst importantly they take either cannabis INDICA or edibles which have been heated. In both cases the largest fraction of psychoactive ingredients is not THC but rather CBN and CBD which have a stonier effect and dull the senses and thus, pain. One other thought to a poster below, smoking anything IS BAD. However, using vaporizers is no more harmful than being outside during pollen season. Additionally, smoking high quality cannabis (something strong enough to allow the user to take ONE small hit and be DONE) has little to no bearing on the lungs or any other body part negatively affected by smoking. I have to reiterate, cannabis is not a perfect addition to everyones fitness regimen. Rather, its a helpful supplement to a small fraction of people with issues specifically cured or assisted by cannabis use. Short attention span for workouts, low appetite or forgetful appetite, high aggression, and im sure there are more. Listen to your body but definitely dont use cannabis for post workout soreness. Nutrition and hydration are the keys.

if its testing that worries you... one b complex vite and 36-48 ozs of water. In one hour you will have clean pee for 2-3 hours. Its not a flush, its a screen. The water intake floods the kidneys and you pass pure water instead of passing metabolites from cannabis. The reason it passes is threefold: 1) the pH test. You havent used bleach to taint the sample so the pee is acidic rather than alkaline. 2) the temperature test. it actually came out of your body so itll be over 98 degrees and pass the second test. 3) the color test. The B vite colors it slightly yellow so as to throw off the administrator when judging color. An intentionally diluted sample will be clear, yellow pee indicates typical dehydration and thus passes the test. Enjoy.

Do while lifting...

The National eye Institute, the Glaucoma Research Foundation (GRF), the American Glaucoma Society (AGS), and the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AOA all argue that the current clinical evidence is insufficient to support marijuana as a legitimate treatment for glaucoma. Rx's for marijuana are handed out by pseudo doctors under false pretenses such as eye disease to stoners who want to get stoned, not protect their eyes

scootloko's picture

I know a lady with glaucoma who has a scrip and trust me it isnt from a pseudo doctor or weed store/co-op cause we dont even have that shit within a good 1,000 miles of where we live. She smokes GOVERNMENT weed and they ship her the shit UPS since you cant just fill a weed prescription where we live. She even carries a card in case the cops hound her that says shes legal.

Cannabis contributes to gynecomastia so alongside AAS would push your luck smoking that &^$@ to get bich tits. Smoking anything in general is so detrimental to cardiovasc health esp the lungs; I dont understand why anyone serious about fitness would smoke.

XvBeast's picture

smoking once a week is cool, but smoking everyday after a workout IMO will slow u down , lets not forget Mary J will make lazy over time

Sick post. Great answers by all u guys

sativa only- preworkout. keeps energy up, drive up, thirst way up. It may dehydrate you but it reminds you to stay on water. NOT FOR EVERYONE but for people that can handle it and maybe have a hard time staying with a program or people that are busy and forget to eat (like me) it can be great. The Governator himself touts the benefits of roids and cannabis. Two best drugs ever.

Certainly not after workout but before- it helps to stay entertained during long workouts, gives ME (not everyone) energy, sativa only, takes the "edge" off of high Test doses so i dont rage on the guy that rests on the fucking machine in between sets, VORACIOUS appetite kept up for busy entrepreneurs like myself that cant seem to get enough calories.

Id say its great for a small percentage of people that have these issues, not great for everyone else.

JJ Bigolo's picture

Agree completely, gets me raging. I love it for heavy lifting and volume; helps push past the latic acid. Not so much for anaerobic circuts though, heart rate too high

IronMind's picture

Biologically it raises estrogen levels as well as dehydrates your body (muscles, organ systems, etc.). This would be very counter-productive after a workout. The only thing smoking does is help pass the time if you're bored. IMO if you are truly serious about training I wouldn't consider it to be a part of your daily regime. Everyone is training for different reasons and it might be beneficial for your lifestyle/social life on the weekends or occasionally when you want to relax...with that being said I agree that it's acceptable and a better option than drinking alcohol especially on cycle!

I am a stoner who quits randomly, for months at a time (gets old, helps to enjoy high), and I have at times got ripped in the am before cardio. Sativa for all day and indica for when you want to comatose. - i dont think that it helps to burn before lifting though. Toking is way better for your body than drinking, especially when you are maintaining a diet regime.

swolltroll's picture

nope. it makes it easier to get hurt. You cant feel what hurts.
Also constricts your blood vessels. so its decreasing your cardiovascular ability/health.

It sure does make you happy though.

twitch45's picture

Toking is counterproductive either way. Only good things you would benefit from is eating and sleeping.

wolfy170's picture

Nah, no way. It probably won't kill you, but don't be fooled into believing that toking is any way good for you. Personally, I'd rather take a few bongs when relaxing than drink beer or alcohol.

haha, coming from a person who smoked for years, it doesnt do anything for the soreness, it just makes you not think about it
