Smoking And Weightlifting


Recommended Posts

i dont know what is the real effect of it pero ako i do smoke pero i go to gym, marami din naman dyan malaki ang katawan mga bouncer pa nga pero they do smoke...

 

 

thanks for your initial reply bro....

what did you notice? may effect ba sa resistance level mo? may bawas ba sa strength mo?

do you do cardios after or before smoking?

 

 

other replies are welcome.

I agree with pool parrot. Since your body is still in the recovery stage, it is not recommended to smoke immediately after your workout. And indeed your lungs are open and prone to nicotine. Smoking and working out are not a good combination. i admit that i smoke but as much as possible i do it in moderation.

FOR ME, smoking after a work out is a form of relaxation both physically and mentally...just like having a cigarette after a SEX-work out...

 

i remember when i was in the military, having a cigarette was the best thing after a looong road march or an intense jungle warfare training

kinakapos ako ng hininga pag nag cardio ako...yun lang naman sakin.

 

i smoke a stick after workout. that's it. yun na yng extent ng quitting ko. 1 stick. di naman ako kinakapos ng hininga even in cardio. sabi ng gym instructor, you need to practice breathing especially if you smoke. most of the times daw smokers inhale less but exhale more, kaya kinakapos. pero di ko alam kung medical fact yun o assumption nya lang. so far naman ok lang breathing ko...

smoker din here. about 50% of the time, i smoke a stick after workout. wala naman effect sa kin. i am doing GVT now.. and GVT is a rigorous workout. i dunno... probably i could do better if i dont smoke. but anyway, mas malakas pa rin resistensya ko kumpara sa mga kasamahan ko sa gym na hindi nag-i-smoke... (thank you eclipse forum and coaches) :)

Para sa akin, nung naninigarilyo (medyo malakas din) ako napakabilis kong maubusan ng hininga kahit naglalakad lang ako for 30 mins everyday at mejo mabilis ang heart rate ko na almost to the point na parang nagpapalpitate ako. Paminsan di pa ako makatulog ng maayos.

 

Buti na lang natigilan ko magyosi. Ang laki ng difference. Ngayon nakakapagswimming ako, boxing, weight lifting at sali pa paminsan sa hiphop dancing. Plus, hindi na ako hinihingal kahit mag light jogging/cycling ako for 30mins. Tapos ang pinakamaganda ay nawala yung fast heart rate ko. Kaya medyo relaxed na ako palagi kahit stressful situations like client interviews, presentations etc. at nakakatulog na ako ng maayos. Isa pa ay parang mas naging optimistic yung outlook ko sa buhay. Hehe Naks!

 

So para sa akin, mas lalakas ka at magiging mas positive ang work-out mo pag tumigil ka magsigarilyo. Mahirap nga lang mag-quit pero para sa akin WORTH IT!!!!

I used to be a heavy smoker and a regular gym goer. My weightlifting was hardly affected by my smoking, I could still keep up with just about anyone else with regard to amount of weight and number of reps. When I got older and figured endurance was more important than big muscles I shifted to a cardio program. Bam! Ten minutes on a threadmill and I thought I was gonna faint! I've since quit smoking and can now run ten kilometers in a little more than an hour. Point is, smoking will affect your aerobic (weight loss) excercise ability, but not necessarily your anaerobic (muscle building) activity. Our captain in the powerlifting team back in college was a chain smoker, but could lift more than anyone else on the team.
