He was asking if it minimises gains, not preformance. Of course its not optimal, however you can still combine smoking and lifting.Originally Posted by GirlyGymRat

That article is full of bullshit statements. Show me a study that proves its impossible to gain muscle while smoking. Until then, your argument is invalid

It doesn't say it's impossible, it actually clearly states it's still possible. You're deluded if you think smoking doesn't have an indirect or direct effect on building muscle.That article is full of bullshit statements.

If you open your eyes and read what i wrote earlier, i clairy said:
"Of course its not optimal, however you can still combine smoking and lifting."
The question from OP was if it MINIMISES GAINS, which it does not. If it MINIMISES GAINS, every smoker would look like a shriveled up raisin. Again, its not optimal, its not healty, it will have an effect on your preformance, you will have an increased change of health problems, HOWEVER you can still gain muscle! And thats what the queation was about.
