Hey everyone, thought I'd ask this question. How does drugs like alcohol, cigarrettes, cigars and weed affect you in terms of muscle growth. Now I'm not a huge drinker or smoker, I'm just asking more out of curiousity. So answer away!

Im no doctor, but I dont think they affect you terribly negatively if there occasionaly used. Like Arnold likes his cigars. But I think if your on creatine, accesive drinking could do some damage to you liver since there both processed there. Not sure about weed but its more mental than than physical. You may lose some stamina if your a smoker. Thats just my thoughts sorta went out on a limb there. But for muscle growth im not sure maybe the carbon monoxide from the smoke may take away oxygen from your musles?

alcohol and weed both lower your testosterone level. U are allowed 1 shot, or beer, or preferrably a glass of wine a day, tahats actually good for u. im dont know about squares, but i assume they aare not healthy for a bodybuilder, hence the surgeons general warning o every pack sold.

Alcohol - a hidden fat-maker!
One way many men mistakingly sabotage their fat-loss plans is with alcohol consumption. They will eat clean, but think nothing of drinking a six-pack of beer every Friday and Saturday night. Alcohol is nothing but empty calories that will go straight to your love handles. If you absolutaly must drink limit yourself to one or two and try the new low-carb versions. But if you are serious about losing your love handles, alcohol has no place in your life.

Weed
British Lung Foundation found that smoking three (3) cannabis cigerettes a day causes the same lung damage as twenty (20) regular cigerettes. You inhale deeper and hold your breath longer before exhaling, so this results in more poisonous carbon monoxide and tar entering the lung.

IMHO- If I was going to use any drug it would be one to further my bodybuilding and not counteract it..

Alcohol is a complete no no if you want any kind of success in training. Same with hard drugs. Cigarettes do not affect your muscle growth but your cardiovascular workouts will be hindered deeply.

Weed on occasions mae on a weekend rest day will help you relax because you still gotta enjoy your life. But its like anything, only in moderation. These days im lucky to even have a beer once a month, since you have to cut out alcohol pretty much completely.

I dont really miss it, i know some guys here still drink hard liquor during the week but its something that takes 2 days till you go back to normal strength after dehydration.

I enjoy a good Cuban cigar every now and then, but like everything. Moderation is the key. You dont inhale cigars so it doesnt affect your cadiovascular workouts the way cigarettes do.

Pumba get on msn ... im lonely :) .. lol

matt you're a cessnockian so you're of course into hard drugs

[Fry]

Well this ones a nobrainer! Alchohol is fine in moderation.


It's like Cafine for instance. Which is a drug. Can actually benifit a work out if taken at the right time and right amount. However if ur addicted to it will afffect recovery. If ur drikin it to get through the day say 3 cups of coffe or more.
