yes it does, any smoke entering your body is not healthy & it limits your stanima....it targets your lungs.

what if the person is used to it. He's been doin it for a very long time. And if it targets your stamina, You can train extra hard to make up for the lost stamina. Am i right??

i find that smoken does not harm my training actually the time i tried to quit my body went downhill and i felt like ****....if one notices most bud smokers are rarely sick if they smoke a lot..studies shown in the US are biased and incorrect in what info they give us..the worst part about smoking u prob are facing is if u roll it in blunt shells like i do..than u still getten some tobacco

Of course yes, Marijuana affects your body. Your stamina will greatly decrease when using marijuana.

Yeah it affects your stamina. I used to smoke all the time and when I used to do some physical activity my stamina was low. The thing I liked about it though was sometimes if my high was wearing down and I got the blood flowing I would become pretty high again.

at the end of the day, the obvious answer is yes it affects you. its just about wats important to you. if you want to be physically and mentally healthy dont smoke weed regularly; studies prove it affects your mind and body

That didn't come out right. What i was trying to say is if you can work on your stamina more than you do usually. That means out of 4 hours of working out daily, dedicate 2 hours with stamina exercises instead of 1 hour

man i've been smoking weed everyday for a very very long time and am always very quick, sharp, and accurate with good stamina. I think it effects the mental game moreso because i've made some pretty dumb errors from time to time because of getting high maybe an hour or two before sparring.

from my experiences... i kinda last longer when im high... i go forever.. running or on the bag, i dunno why that it is, but i guess if i quit for a solid period of time i would go even longer... we'll see... i personally think weed is pointless unless u use it for things like this. to get u goin and bustin ur ass.. but the one kid said it right.. why not jus train hard when ur not high... and why not jus not get high n bust ur ass.. soo i dunno, if u smoke it, use it wisely. thats my 2 cents...

I've used cannabis medically for a long time and now use a 'vaporizer' to intake it. The vaporizer turns the pot into a vapor, rather than smoke, by heating the bud. It's much easier on the lungs than smoking it...

co-sign to the Nth degree.

1 toke in me and get me on the bag, i can do a crazy ass 2-hour work-out. get me on the court with one toke and i can run 8 full court games easy. real story, my best mile run, a 4:56 - came while blazed.

I'm MORE motivated when I've been smoking.

Every single activity is just more entertaining and even mundane routine activities (Jogging) become interesting and fun.

Maybe it's the sound of my feet chalking the pavement.

DEPENDS ON THE PERSON!!!

It all depends on the person, i have never done any drugs, and rarely drink. But my friend (Gary) has been smoking weed for about 5 years now, he plays football(soccer) and trains up to 5 days a week, 2training days at football, 2 days at boxing (at my club) and 1 day he does hill sprints with myself and 2 other guys, and the guys in fine shape, could box easy if he wanted to, never had a problem cos he smokes

wow thats surprising cause i have to disagree with all the potheads . maybe its because i was smoking blunts but my cardio is terrible when im smoking . so ill blame it on the nicotine in the cigar paper . joint paper sucks ! and so do bowls . i love my weed in a garcia vega or any cigar paper for that matter . i' ve never smoked cigarettes but the nicotine is addicting.

I remember reading an article on another side written by another boxer on, and he touched on this subject. Look you could be alright smoking weed, and still train hard, and you could probably beat some guys if your skills are good, but there is someone out there who you aren't even aware of that can rape you within a round, and knock you out cold. You want to give it your all in training when you go up against this beast. Now when you do; can you say, "I gave it my all in training, and I will leave it all in the ring today?" Only you can answer this question. There is always someone out there better then you, and me. Now are you looking to compete? If so drop the weed, and I guarantee that you will notice a big difference. You don't need it to train hard bro.

If anything coke in moderation would improve performance. Its that most people don't know the meaning of moderation, and coke is hard to use in moderation, because its peak isn't for very long.

Its like really strong Adderall.
.

Shrooms are really the most amazing drug though. An experience like no other drug. Only Peyote might come close from what I hear.

Never ****ed wit peyote, but shrooms are tight. Just gotta be in a controlled environment so you don't trip out. The head buzz goes harder than rolls does.

I usually just pop in some Bob Marley and chill.

I'm not a very religious person, but Shrooms made me damn close to God. The visuals and feelings are just fvcking awesome.

well, i haven't smoked in like a year.


But every time I do I end up working out. I was always weird that way with the smoke... Whats even more interesting is I'm more honed in on what I'm doing. Whereas, nowadays, I sometimes get into doing something repetitively like hit a speed bag, jump rope, or hit the heavy bag, and my mind wanders. With weed, I was always fully fully focused on whatever I happened to be doing at the time, so I felt like there was more progression and thought into EACH action.

But, weed also allows you to fool yourself immensely, so what seems like supernatural speed and great technique while you are lifted, will just seem average to a passerby, perhaps. I don't know.

It doesn't help that the stoner friends I had weren't on my level, so I could never get any constructive criticism about it. Just like "Whoah man, your hands were just a blur" etc.
