Hardgainers and Marijuana

LokStok · 09-02-2008, 07:18 AM

Are there any hardgainers out there that use a 'smoking cycle' to induce hunger to assist with putting on weight? I find alot of times im just always full, and lack the motivation to stuff myself and im a pretty active person; it's always a battle to put on more than I burn. However! If I smoke a little ganja I get damn lazy and hungry.. So im thinking.. Maybe If I use some kind of 'smoke cycle' maybe smoke a little befor a workout and when im done I'll be starving and lazy? Alot of times I'll workout, drink a protein shake and im off running errands or kicking some footbag. From what I know hearsay pot doesn't do anything to the metab it only stimulates your hunger and sleep receptors. I'm not saying this is some healthy alternative to a weightgain supplement but if used modestly perhaps it can yield some secret magic powers for hardgainers? Please don't disupte carcinogen factors unless they somehow affect weight gain or muscle gain.

Cheers

Effects on performance

Many of the acute effects of marijuana are deleterious to athletic performance. It impairs eye-hand coordination and fast reaction time and reduces motor coordination, tracking ability, and perceptual accuracy. Time appears to more more slowly, and impaired concentration and dreamlike states are common. Although these acute effects may last as long as 4 hours, skill impairment may persist for as long as 24 h after marijuana intoxication. As with alcohol, social use of marijuana the night before a practice or a game may impair performance. Marijuana reduces maximal exercise performance, and Vo2 max is achieved prematurely. No ergogenic effect has been attributed to marijuana usage.

All in all I would say from the stuff i've found on it, it's not worth it.

This post sound nuts I do agree, but a few weeks ago I was walking to the gym and bumped into another guy on his way there (dont really know him but seen him down the gym) now this guy is ripped to f*ck and in bloody great shape. What I couldn`t believe is that he was smoking a joint on his way to the gym...... I was like `how can you smoke that before a workout` and he said he has to have a joint before a workout...... I COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT I WAS HEARING AS THIS GUY WAS IN SUCH GOOD SHAPE. Just wanted to share this with you guys.

You know for sure it was a joint and not a homemade cigarette..

Either way makes no difference to me or anyone that really is dedicated to bodybuilding. No true bodybuilder is going to waste there time on smoking weed.
