Thank you for Smoking

I would love to know how many of you guys smoke,i see many guys and girls who are serious bodybuilders but they still smoke heavily,and at the same time they are ripped like animals.Smoking breaks down oxygen and nitrgen levels in blood.How does it affect you smokers?


Phlegm: Smoking produces into smokers twice phlegm as who don’t smoke. This reduces air intake, causing by chronic swelling of the mucus membranes.

Carbon Monoxide: This has negative effects in your body. Carbon monoxide reduces the amount of air intake of the lungs, and the amount of oxygen that the muscles receive from the blood. Oxygen is important for the functioning of all energy systems in the body, so any mechanism which interferes with oxygen transport and uptake interferes with energy production, and therefore, athletic performance.

Testosterone: Research shows that cigarette smoking damages cells in the testes - the cells that synthesize testosterone. Testosterone levels within the body govern the muscle growth process from training. Thus, smoking may well hinder optimal testosterone production and interfere with the body’s capacity to build muscle.

I quit smoking 15 years ago.....best decision I've made in my entire life (Apart from being a Blue Bull)

:nana :nana2 :clapclap

I`ve always believed you can train a smoker to be a bodybuilder even though cardio might suffer but a drinker is impossible...

btw...the new smoking laws are frigging wicked!

I quit (heavy) drinking for 3 months at end February and in that 3 months I gained 5 kgs and lost 5% BF. Went from 85kg to 90kg and today still on 90kg.

I stopped smoking around 7 years ago, best decision I ever made except for being a sharks supporter..

Ou Pompie, die Curriebeker word nie in Augustus gewen nie.

Your guys peaked and are on the downward curve at this stage, and there is still a slight chance that you will pick up the Cheetahs in the play-offs.............
The best team will win the Currie Cup this year, and whoever it might be, PLEEEEEASE !!!! No whining about forward passes, the biased ref, bully tactics.
Let's be true Sportsmen and supporters.

P.S. 00Pump I still like you.

:cheers

May the best team win.... PEACE
