chewing tabacco

I work out about 5 times a week and basically have a very clean diet with lots of protien and carbs incorperated. But , the one flaw I do have is that I have been known to dip into the chewing tabacco sometimes. I'm not addicted ..... yet . But, I just wanted to know if this is bad for my performance in the gym and if so how bad. Thanks Guys :)

hey i have a similar "flaw" myself. I am however addicted *not good* whether it actually decreases performance... I doubt it. I play college football and a good number of players dip as well. I dont think it hinders gains, strength or speed. Just dont do it in front of the ladies

No, it doesnt do anything to your workout. Shit i dip too.

I think it´s only bad for your teeth? :unsure:

haha thanks for the help guyz and palme dont forget about the chew lip you get after a while hahaha

and the loosening of teeth and gum decay

lol i dipped while in highschool.. it may not be good for you but i can think of MUCH worse things..

alright, i thought i was the only dipper here with all the health talk. Nothing like a lil skoal mint while i read all the posts. )

Damn, I used to dip a shit load, especially in the NAVY and when working. I was addicted and still am although I haven't taken a pinch in about a year, but every time I walk by the tobacco counter I hear the Skoal mint calling my name. Has anybody tried the new Berry flavored Skoal?

i love a good hagen !!!!

I'm a Kodiak man. The only bear you'll ever pinch....lol...Man's it's good to know that I'm not the only dipper

Just remember this song by robert earl keene

Well i went out last sunday with my little mary ann, she said please stay till monday and she grabbed me by the can, and she layed a big one on me surprised me with her toungue but her surprise was waiting there between my teeth and gum! Copenhagen what a wad of flavor.

Just remember dont chew in front of the ladies lol.

I've seen some ladies put 1/2 the tin in their mouths, that's some nasty shit.

This post Is great, like rotty said,theres nothin like packin a lipper while your reading these posts.This is so tight it feels kind of like a brotherhood now for some reason. Anyway,I was reading an article a while back in Sports illustrated and it was talkin about how female athletes pack dip into their armpits,vaginas, and even poke little pin holes in their toes and stuff it in there!!! Sick!!!

DIPPERS 4 LIFE!!!!!!
hahaha

I dip Copenhagen to (good stuff), I was wondering the same thing if it affects your performance. Does any one know of any scientific studies on this.

I do it every now and then for the little buzz...but the best is while reading the posts.

it won't do anything to your workouts. i used to dip ALOT and i mean alot until i quit about a year ago, i didn't want to, but i had to(almost had cancer). i used to be a skoal mint man myself, i was doing about a tin a day or every two days, that shit ain't good, but oh well.

I just have one thing to say on this subject: "Real men never compromise...they Cope(nhagen)!"

To each his own. I'm a Kodiak man...have a dip in right now in fact. Time to add a "topper". I wish I never started though. I am soo addicted it's crazy. My girl said I need to quit before we get married...and, she wonders why I haven't proposed yet. I'm married to a bear, woman!

I don't think it effects my workout at all. Just don't chew during. If anything the nicatine can increase the heart rate and that sounds like a potential cardio aid.

One day I'll be in incredible shape. No teeth, but great shape!

You guys should see what the people over a bb.com has to say about it...

what do they say?

If you chew just be sure to drink alot of fluids ! I was chewing for hrs. at work didn't have any water and my whole nose started to tingle. It scared me because it would not stop until i drank a shit load of water.

chewing aight, it speeds up your metabolizm, which is either good or bad depending if your trying to lose or gain.
peace

Damn... I love chewing tabacco... my mate used to bring it home from the states (I live in Oz) .....mmmm.... wish I could get some.

I was chewing some redman today and i was doing some deadlifts 550pds and i swalloed the whole fuckin chew. I got dizzy as hell and I thought i was going to puke. Chew and dip on!!!!

Berry Blend is the shit. You also can never go wrong with and kind of mint. :) I don't do it that often so when I do I get a real nice buzz.
