puny_guy Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 Just curious, since I'm a smoker and have recently started working out to get big, does smoking prevent muscle growth by any chance??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cid Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 I think so becouse of the lack of air your lungs can take in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Morrigan Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 What it will affect even worse is the stamina you have to work out with - your stamina will start lower and increase more slowly than a non-smoker's, so you'll get slower results.

So_confused Posted November 9, 2003 Share Posted November 9, 2003 I smoke and workout almost everyday. I must admit that I'm not in the same shape as I was before I started smoking but I was a big mass of muscle then and now I'm doing it just for a bit of bulk and definition. We all know that smoking isn't very healthy and that we really shouldn't do it but if you're going to continue to smoke and go to the gym I honestly don't see any huge negative effects on muscle growth. You're cardio will be alot weaker than a non-smoker though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
