Bryantos Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 I've worked out off and on for a little while, but I did most of it while I when I was 15 and 16, so I wasn't smoking then. I started working out again recently and was wondering how the effects of smoking were going to hinder my bodybuilding, which made me question how many people that work out are also habitual smokers.How many of you guys take an interest in body building, and still keep smoking as a hobby? Im thinking about taking smoking in moderation, and hit the weights hard and serious this time. Protein, eating right (which I've been doing for a good 2 years, now, and the effects are showing), cardio, and getting in a good fitness routine.

Scheetz Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Hookah has never hindered me in any way. I play college lacrosse, made my run times and still smoked 3-4 times a week. There was a guy at my high school who ran track. He did all the long K runs and placed I think it most of them. He smoked a pack of cigs a day. If you take care of your body smoking wont slow you down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonesy Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I lift 3 times a week, sail whenever I can and exercise the hound everyday.Thats about it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilTank13 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I lift my ass off every day, try to stay below 8-9% body fat, bench double my bw for a couple, smoke atleast 1 cigar a day, and usually have a hookah session 2-3 times a week... As for endurance, I run 15-20 mins pretty hard no problem. 40-45 min cardio sessions aren't out of the question. If you do things to offset the smoking, eat decently clean, and drink a lot of water, you'll be fine... If you eat like crap, sit on your ass and drink pop all day, you'll have trouble.

ASUSEAN1 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 i started running atleast a mile everyday for the past week.

Loki Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Sports and fitness? I always thought that was just a myth or some internet rumor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New2Hookah Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 7 Sets, each 7 Reps, of 225. I do that 4 times a week. To condition myself, I play tennis, basketball, and I swim. Those 3 sports do wonders to your heath, more so than running. Especially swimming, it basically works every part of your body, most importantly Lungs and Heart. Think about it...

Dr. Atkins Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 I hope you don't just mean benching by 7x7x225, because you are going to develop some serious imbalances in musculature and joint rotation (not fun to tear a rotator cuff). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-szlos Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 i work out 2-3 times a week. however my job involves alot of physical labor which keeps me in shape. moving sheetrock and cement bags around all day builds the muscle up pretty well . I smoke 2-3 cigs a day, as well as hookah almost evrey night however this does not hinder me. When i was in highschool i wrestled and smoked throughout the season and it dident hinder my proformance. I knew a kid in highschool who would smoke a cig right before he had to run for track. literally would put it out 20 secconds before his heat started and he did very well.

I think he works the larger muscle groups just to maintain body weight, but it makes me wonder why he didn't work the pectorals, which are the 2nd largest group and would also help metabolism. Oy, that health freak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
