 Weed smoking, nightly drinker athlete?
Pretty much sums me up. I'm starting to cut back, but I was wondering if this combination can work?
I just started creatine and lifting again. My idea is to get some muscle tone and definition before I go into my freshman year in college.... that way, the freshman fifteen won't hit me as hard as others.
I don't really suffer hangovers anymore, which is both a blessing and kinda worries me. Lifting weights wasn't a problem with me lung-wise, but I imagine cardio is going to be tough.
Anybody here in kinda the same situation I am? How did it work out for you? Did you find you were able to maintain some of your older habits and still embrace newer, healthier ones?
As far as drinking, I take between 4-5 shots a night and maybe a half dime-sized (as in literally a dime) packed bowl of green. Probably 4-5 hits total a night.
Thanks guys :)

I smoked between 4-5 grams a day and it never fucked with my lungs in any way.

Re: Weed smoking, nightly drinker athlete?
Yea just depends on the person
Maybe drink wine instead of shots sometimes, and a bowl a day isnt bad, I always like to smoke before I go to sleep

Switch to pharmaceuticals. No calories, don't dehydrate your muscles (which retards development).

Uh....no. I'd get high all the time, even right before I worked out and it never noticeably affected me in any way, but when I'd smoke alot of cigarettes it was very obvious it was fucking with my lungs.

Cut the weed. It will just make you lazy, slow and kill the aggression you need to do well at any sport. Alcohol will do the same but not to the extent of weed. Ideally for best performance you should stay sober. But if you need to get fucked up, alcohol is the lesser of the two evils. |

Re: Weed smoking, nightly drinker athlete?

NO.
benzos are believe it or not worse than being drunk while playing...
when on benzos ur motor function and coordination is not what you think it is and you really hurt urself.
i used to be on kpins from the doctor and i played flag football. i fell a lot, sprained my weak ankle more than once, ran into a wall full speed going for a deep ball
in conclusion its not cool.
drinkin a little and smokin a little wont hurt u enough for u to notice it. and if you do just cut back a little.
simple.

You're completely wrong. Alcohol inhibits protein synthesis, dehydrates muscles, increase estrogen production, decrease testosterone, and is filled with empty calories. Weed doesn't do any of that but it does make you somewhat lazy and definitely less explosive.
But with all that being said there are many really big dudes who smoke and drink a lot more than you. Chances are if you aren't seeing gains its because your routine and diet is garbage.

Re: Weed smoking, nightly drinker athlete?
If your really that worried, is being a every other day or weekend smoker/drinker sound that bad to you? That's what I am for the most part and it works out fine for me. I play on the lax team at my school and i'm fine. That's what most of the people on the team do.
But it doesnt sound like your smoking or drinking that much when you drink. 4-5 shots is not that much alcohol and a bowl is not that much weed. I wouldnt worry about it too much unless you start to see that it is negatively affecting you.
