Supbrah Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 I have a few friends who smoke after they work out and I was wondering if that has any negative effects, not interested in smoking anything but just curious if many people do it. I guess you can consider weed a prescription medication these days so I posted here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 I can't see how it would be beneficial. But I don't know enough to say there'd be negative effects to any significant extent, either. @Daz69 - this is right up your alley... what's your verdict?

FellowshipOfTheRon Posted January 21, 2017 Report Share Posted January 21, 2017 Not entirely scientific but lots of good points there, many of which are pretty self explanatory. Check out this article : https://www.t-nation.com/training/lifters-guide-to-marijuana Decreases reaction time Interrupts concentration Disrupts hand-eye coordination Reduces exercise capacity and time to exhaustion. These effects have been shown to last up to 36 hours after usage. Use of marijuana has little to no benefit for lifters and dieters, but occasional recreational usage is probably not that big of a deal. Pot interrupts mTOR, lowers testosterone, and raises cortisol, but these effects are short term. M4matty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THC is stored in fat cells and can be released in response to exercise, more so in persons of higher BF% and regular users.. Apart from the obvious negative effects of chronic use to pulmonary system, I can't dig up anything particularly bad post exercise...

Is that a good thing or a bad thing? I wondered if it might lower cortisol levels, and/or reduce the hormonal triggers for growth that are produced by muscles under stress?

Supbrah Posted January 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Interesting feedback guys, I did smoke it was year or two ago sometimes after the gym I found it would calm me down after the workout and I could stomach a huge dinner but then again I don't use Pre workout often anymore M4matty 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brynn Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 I find it easier to have a nap after smoking weed due to back pumps. It topples zopiclone and most sleeping pills due to its relatively quick onset and lower side effects. Potentially faster recovery due to munchies, deeper sleep and maybe lower cortisol levels. I have indulged in a stoned workout but I mostly just did machines and dumbbell related workouts because I want to avoid snapcity/bench asphyxiation The gym played a song with sirens and I tried to run away but I was on a treadmill lol.

GyzzBrah Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 I Find the euphoria / hunger / sleep after a good workout to be sufficient by itself. Probably one downside if you do it often after a workout will be that you no longer feel satisfied after a workout in the long run, which is one of the benefits of lifting I suppose. Dont know about the psysiological effects dont really see how its a big deal either way in that aspect. I think daz posted a while ago about even moderate alcohol consumption reducing protein synthesis / muscle growth or whatever after a workout, that seems worse imo.

aidangro Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Before a workout isn't the best. Sometimes 2 hours or so after a smoke is OK, if energy levels up. But still not ideal. I usually smoke in the evenings but if I workout a bit later until around 7pm for example I found I don't feel like getting baked. I've never really thought there would be much of a benefit to smoking. other than relaxing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Al Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 The CBD in weed helps with inflammation, arthritis and brain injuries plus more. Some fighter take CBD oil after a fight or when recovering from concussion. THC just gets yo hiiiiiigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
