cigarettes and AS

[sammytwex44]

Ive been a smoker for a while and quitting seems almost impossible to me, how will smoking and being on a cycle affect me? will i be worse off smoking on AS then i would be if i was not on AS?

although the oxygen in your muscles is not as good as if you didn'tsmoke.unfortunately, i too am addicted....

Think of of like this. Why work out to make your outside look better when you are killing your inside?

Kind of an ironic statement on a steroid discussion board.

I too smoke.... the main thing I noticed while on cycle was my blood pressure increase after smoking. Since nicotine constricts the blood vessels anyway, and AS increases BP - these two put together would gimme some chest pounding here and there... but nothing I couldn't get through.

Smoking does restrict oxygen to your muscles, I am not saying you will not make gains, but on top of restricting your oxygen, it also restricts your appetite. You are not near as hungry while smoking therefor you are not likely to eat as much, which can cost gains too

Also, smoking is rather feminine...putting something shaped like a little dick in your mouth then sucking and blowing on it....not really the appreance of a man..well maybe a man in the closet.... But seriously with the increase in BP with AS then the increase of BP with smokes, this could be asking for trouble if you are prone to certain conditions. Then if you start the cardio...your lungs will be in the hurt locker!

One way that I justify my AS use is that I have no other vices. I eat clean, don't smoke, don't drink, don't do any other drugs.

Will your gains be as good while smoking? Probably not, you'll probably stay leaner than most guys while on AS though.
