 Posted: 10/22/07 - 04:14 Post subject: Marijuana and Muscle growth |
  |
|
Hey hows everybody going,
I've been smoking Marijuana for 3 1/2 years pretty full on and smoking ciggarettes, im am 17 years old, a male and i am just wondering if it would have effected my muscle growth and weight. I was a very active kid before i started smoking doing atleast 2 hours of cardio a day due to trampolining but no weight training. I am currenty 6 foot and weight 54kilos which i am fairly worried about and self conscious but my body is'nt telling me that this is a problem, ive been told by my father that he was just as skinny as me and i should start filling out within a couple of years. Most people say i am to Skinny and need to put on weight but i eat the same as most of them if not more,so is it just my slender body type or somthing to do with Mary Jane?
I have just recently quit due to lack of motivation and my weight.
Any suggestions welcome |

hey,
studies have shown that marijuana does inhibit the creation of testosterone, which is in charge of muscle growth (in males of course), specifically in the chest, biceps, and upper legs.. however, if you work out.. (cardio/weight lifting) you will still gain muscle mass. just make sure you get enough sleep at night (7 hours or more) and eat the right things for your body to use if you want to get bigger.
stop smoking the cigarrettes though. lol. they thin out the blood and therefore dont carry as much oxygen to your muscles.. without oxygen muscles cant grow.
finally... goto the gym. 30 minutes a day doing some weight lifting can go a very long way. especially if you are skinny.. you will build up really fast.. just go for it. It will also make you feel really good..
take good care. |
