smokin herb aint gonna make ya lose weight..its all about what the person eats..i work out as well and if your trying to gain some muscle mass eat 4 eggs every morning (i drink myne raw in a glass) and eat either steak or chicken every night..guranteed to gain musle its been workin AWSOME for me. And yes smoke grass after a workout...i mean ive tried it while i was workin out but theres not much of a point to it...look at it as a reward after a nice workout an then eat that chicken man!!!

Alright coool, but im sure there is a relationship between smoking weed and our metabolism or something like that..there must be

Scientific research has yet to document whether or not smoking marijuana (cannabis) has a direct effect on metabolism; however, it appears that the body processes food similarly when high on pot as when sober.

Studies have shown, though, that cannabis does trigger an increase in appetite, hence "having the munchies." "The munchies" is usually a desire for sweet and fatty treats, foods that, when not consumed in moderation within a balanced, varied eating and exercise plan, promote weight gain. Studies also show that individuals who regularly smoke pot gain weight over time. The increase in appetite leads to extra caloric intake, contributing to weight gain. In fact, even though the use of marijuana as medicine remains a controversial issue, the appetite-stimulating effects of marijuana have been documented. HIV/AIDS patients who need to gain weight, for example, eat more when they smoke cannabis.

as far as i know it doesnt increase your metabolism, the size of a person is determined by genetics, these will determine whether you gain muscle easily or a bit more difficult, i weight train and smoke, and have weight trained and not smoked, i havent noticed any difference (i would not suggest smoking WHILE weight training - it doesnt feel like its good for you, as COOOL said id use it as a reward for after)

I do not recomend it at all. You know that shit can get your heart pumpin. That and the weed might rise your heart rate to a dangerous level. I did cardio high one time and my heart beat was like 180 something.

[redeyedfuk]

yeah man ill do what the other 2 said justget high after the work out, aprently after working out you get like double as high aswell...

gaining mass relatively straight forward

its all about

1 what you eat (also how you sleep, when you eat, etc. nutrition is a good general way to talk about it)

2. your genetics

3. what your gym routines look like

4. the suppliments you are on.


if smoking weed is going to help/make you eat more, its going to make/help you gain mass, etc etc.


dont think too hard or medicalize this sort of thing. you see it all too often around here.

Five years ago or so, I decided I would try my hand at lifting. My goal to get as big as possible, as fast as possible. Ive been a regular smoker since around 21 or so, Im currently 37. I went from say 160/70 to 229 in fourteen months, smoking the entire time with no adverse reaction at all. If anything, in my opinion it helps. I could slap on my ipod, cool my brain, start my workout and be in the zone, just ripping and tearing my muscles to shit, really focusing on every rep. Also rule no 1 to any workout, is proper diet set to your personal goals. There is where the munchies come in as previously stated. Its best to eat many small meals a day versus two or three big ones, so its not how much you eat, its what you eat.

Use those munchies in a positive way, make a really healthy but tasty meal right before and I dare you to try not eating it after a high workout. /Experience
