Toking out and Working out

[Innominate]

If there are any here at the Cannabis Forums that have never tried it, I insist you do. Just make sure you drink enough water.

Really what is it like?

It's like a push to keep going. It could be the pain relieving from the pot. Excessive water is a contributor as well, but a toke seems to give me an extra boost to work harder.

There have been days when I had been drained and didn't feel like working out. However, I do believe it was the lack of water that lowered my energy level.

I think I read somewhere its bad for you. But I use to do it.

I'm sure toking isn't any worse for you before a workout than it is any other time. I always get the urge to workout after my first bowl of the day. It definitely makes it go by fast and creates a nice hybrid buzz. I also puff after

Oh yes, a post-work out puff is always nice!

I think it must depend on the type of workout. Are you talking about running or lifting weights?

I do martial arts and would not recommend toking before training. Especially when it comes time to spar.

just a straight up buzzkill for me

My fault, I should be more specific because I am referring to weight lifting in general. I do run every now and then and have tried toking prior to it a couple times and can't prove whether or not it helps my running ability, during running I'd seem to put more concentration into determining whether or not the pot was actually working. :stoned:

On the subject of lifting weights, it seemed that I had gained a boost in determination and eagerness that I didn't feel on my clean lifts.
