I have a pretty odd question..

Lately when I go the gym, and I usually go with a group. My friend and I tend to burn a quick Spliff before going into the gym. Nothing big to get us completely high out of minds but just that little buzz. In his words, the buzz allows your body to lift about 5 pounds more then your used too. I always wondered if that was true?

I do know that Marijuana raises the heart beat rate and make that gets your blood pumping allowing you to lift more? But then again my knowledge could be wrong. Please discuss below what you think regarding this topic.

Thanks.

 

I have never tried this, but i know that if you try and pump yourself up per-say before you smoke, you'll have a more energetic and awake high. i can see how he can say this, but does 5 pounds really make that big of a difference?



EDIT:: I'm glad my 600th post could be about pot

 

Ahhh, I'm so glad you replied. I'm pretty sure the higher the weight you can lift, the more results will show? I mean what if it's just a mind set as to 'I can pump 5 pounds more when I am high' as to I can do it if I just believe...?

EDIT: pot ownz

 

I smoke weed, and im usally still high by the time i work out lol. But I think what your talking about has gotta be a myth your buddy just wants to get blazed before he works out lol.

 

ya i agree i think its just a myth. but im not 100% sure i think you could research this

 

It's probably because of the painkiller effect of the drug. Because you don't feel as much pain you can push your limits further. I'm not so sure whether this is good or bad for your training though.

 

i like the way my buddy thinks then.

 

When I'm done lighting my green I am more in the mood not to workout...

 

rather munch down on a bag of chips?

 

No, you can't lift anymore. It doesn't make logical sense. You might think you can lift more, but your muscles are not affected.

 

That is unheard of for me. I don't think it is true though. You should run a test though if your really interested.

 

Well I have, I just grab 5 pounds more.

 

My friends are using buzz, you smell it for like 10 secs, and you feel high for around 2-3 mins :X Never used it, but it's really cheap 3 bottles around 5£.
