bodybuilding and smoking

[the big 1]

Is there anyone who smokes here?

Do you think it inpeeds muscle gains?

What are your views on smoking and bbing?

Personally, i smoke alot and dont think it has any effect on my gains or training, it does however make cardio a little bit harder, and i feel like crap in morning.

[D7M]

Of course it's not healthy and your muscles need the oxygen,

but I really doubt if you quit you'd gain 15lbs of clean muscle.

Take a visit to the Smoking Thread

Markus Ruhl smokes cigs.

the question is how much or how often

cigs are horrible for you

and new evidence is coming out that smoking impairs muscle protein synthesis and increases the expression of myostatin.

[alexISthrowed]

I quit a few months ago and feel ten times better. Like moose man cigs only made up about half of my daily smoke intake.

[Mooseman33]

kratos, keep ur statistics to urself...

[Hoggage_54]

[Abominator]

I'd never smoke ******* to diet or do something productive. Great appetite inducer but makes me not want to do shit

I think this article reffers to average people, ie non bbers, i cant imagine smoking to impeed muscle growth on a steroid user / bodybuilder ???

But who knows???

[the big 1]

As for ******* a different story, i just cant function on the stuff, makes me paranoid

[energizer bunny]

only when pissed or off me bonce on class As.........

[the big 1]

You've made me want a fag now!

[Kratos]

But who knows???

so you're interested only in studies done in bodybuilders
there are several studies all coming to the same conclusion, that it isn't good for muscle.

will all the information we have on smoking, I can't imagine why anybody would do it as a regular habit...not to mention it's freakin expensive.

it sure doesn't help you grow muscle, so I'm guessing the other health advantages mean nothing to you. blaze away

[Kratos]

kratos, keep ur statistics to urself...

didnt u learn when u were younger that smoking makes u cool...........

yeah, it was cool in high school

if you're over the age of 25 and still smoking, it just adds to the dirty factor, and subtracts from the cool factor

don't be scared moose, you can do it, chantix can help

[Mooseman33]

no chantix kratos, i dont like drugs.....lol

Im just trying to speed this thing we call life up...i mean hell, between the cigs and steroids, im def. going to die young....

and i never smoked in highschool, got a football scholarship, started smoking when i was around 22ish.....

[Kratos]

you know where cigarettes are gaining popularity...3rd world countries where people are too stupid to know it's killing them.

and btw it's a horrible death

I smoked many cigs in my life

you guys don't need them as much as you think

they add nothing to your life

I'm not saying this cause I think I'm better or putting down your habbit, just as encouragement if you're thinking of quiting at some point anyway...go for it and never look back, it's the worst poision people put into their body and pay for...I think even worse then booz.

[Kratos]

if I'm right and there is no after life, and this is all you got, make the most of it dude.

I know you're bi-polar and all...but I know plenty of bi-polar people and attitude is everything, and don't under-estimate the effect of having a good chick in your life.

I use steroids too man, and the data just doesn't support that they are nearly as bad as cigs in moderation.

I'm 6'3'' maybe 6'4'' and 262 pounds as of yesterday...and I don't see too many 90 year olds with those demensions walking around. but you know what, if I get 75 health ones I'm happy. anything else is a bonus and I'm not counting myself out.

I started smoking in high school
quit for d1 athletics
fuct up back senior year went to booz and cigs pretty hard
smoked on and off until 27 years old

feel way better without them
I'll still smoke on vacation and only on vacation

there is no reason to smoke and many reasons not to, seems like easy math

[Bossman]

I'd never smoke weed if trying to diet or do something productive. Great appetite inducer but makes me not want to do shit

I get by with contest prep and I smoke every night. I satisfy my cravings with a diet squirt. I do have ulcerative colitis, that's my excuse. The rest of you have to quit.....

[Mooseman33]

Kratos, im not fvking bi-polar.....my chick is..

u got me confused big fella....

and i def. make the most of this life, maybe to much...

me bi-polar, i would fvking shoot myself....

This study shows that smoking actually raises test levels, though not signficantly

Goin on a marlboro and kronic cycle next month look for my log.

[Hard.On]

Ive tried to quit and, ive realized that no one really ever quits

I cant stop not because I cant,
but because I dont want to

[Phate]

but because I dont want to

that's the trademark of an addiction, not being a dick, but i have a friend who did one semester of college, found a certain herb, and now all he does is smoke, sell, and sleep, rarely eats, etc...

he says the same thing, he thinks he can stop anytime, he just doesn't want to because he feels, "he sees the world how it really is" when he's smoking

[Hard.On]

lol, im not that bad,

I have stopped smoking for the past 4 months while preparing and doing my cycle.
I will probly pick up the habit again because its summer time.

If this means im addicted,
well then,
Im addicted like my boy enrique iglasis

[HDH]

I smoke a ****the evening just
so I can make three meals further

"We conclude that accurate assessment of androgen
status should include a measure of the biologically active
fraction. In addition, it appears that smoking has no
signi®cant effect on the levels of bioavailable testosterone"


idk, based on the findings of that study it doesn't sound too great

smoking is not good for sperm
and
many studies have linked cigarette smoking in men with low sex drive and low sexual satisfaction
it turns muscle into mush, makes cock and balls unhappy...what else you need test for? to make your hair fall out and your prostate grow?

“From our tests, we can conclude that smoking slows the muscle protein synthesis machinery — probably impairing day to day upkeep of muscle."
