Marijuana and the Bodybuilder!
Nowedays many people use recreational drugs for various reasons. Most bodybuilders also use drugs. Some take them to relieve muscle soreness (DOMS). But there are many other reasons . Some use them to relax or to sleep, to eat, against joint - tendon and musclepains. And many just to get a high, most bodybuilders and top-athletes don’t use alcohol, but use marijuana, GHB, cocaine or XTC to join the happy drinkers during week-ends or parties.
Don’t be mistaken, its not one drug, Most bodybuilders are polypharmacists, they stack all kinds of steroids, anti-estrogens, diuretics, growthhormones, insuline and mostly use additional drugs for above discribed reasons. Some became addicted to painkillers like Nubain. They started to take them to be able to work-out harder.
But this article is meant to cover marijuna usage amoung us bodybuilders. I merged a few articles and some of my own expiriences.
If you’ve been around bodybuilding for any amount of time, at some point you’ve probably come to the realization that drugs and bodybuilding go hand in hand, like a pair of 50 pound dumbbells. I’m not talking about “growing drugs” (or as bodybuilding champion Flex Wheeler calls them, “Sport technology drugs”), but so-called recreational drugs.
