The target heart rate zone for exercising is generally between 60-80% increase of your resting heart rate. Most people rarely hit this when weight lifting unless lifting weights that are too heavy you for you, with little to no rest between sets, and with extreme intensity. Marijuana on average only increases your heart rate about 30% on average (obviously varying between individuals) and the effects of marijuana on the heart diminish rather quickly. So smoking before a weight lifting set could actually benefit your work out by the increase in heart rate. I wouldn't suggest smoking and running a triathlon but to say you shouldn't smoke before working out at all is a rather baseless suggestion. That being said good luck having the motivation to life weights after smoking. 1 or 2 draws off a vape, though, can really get your mind in the right place.
I can't do it. And wouldn't personally because it would be a waste to me. Working out gives me a nice buzz anyway. I like the cleansing and prefer to wait until after I work out to smoke.
I stil smoke and work out i especially like smoking then running in some trail or forest preserve its the greatest feeling in tha world! Exept when i get lost
getting high then working out is just a waste of weed, you feel weaker and you cant lift as well if you were sober. ive heard different things for running while high or bicycling but running is way easier than lifting weights. swimming and bicycling high = a fun experience using weights = not so fun

But yea listen to this dude seems like he knows his shit!
No one wants to work out high. It's a completely shit experience. You've got cottonmouth every 4 or 5 minutes. And when you don't have cottonmouth you'll be wondering if that muscle-man over there is checking out your butt when you're on the treadmill.
