Work out Review:
I took just one bong rip today instead of three, and I did that on purpose. The reason behind this is to test out a new variation of working out stoned. I took a rip of the Cherry I had recently picked up, and I was feeling good. I start my jog to that new lil Uzi song(I like working out to bangers) and off I was to simms park.
I had a little more trouble getting into the 'zone,' and with just a one mile jog it was hard to stay concentrated. I didn't feel winded at all but I did notice I was bored.
Mid Work out:
Once I got to the park I start my calisthenics work outs. Starting with10 basic pull ups. I love pulls ups because they are great for working out your explosive energy. Explosive work-outs are work-outs you do in short burst of high energy, basically giving it everything you got. I use explosive energy a lot in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Finishing a submission or escaping a submission is when you'll notice your explosive energy.
In the middle of the calisthenics work – out I did notice that I was a lot more concentrated and determined to finish strong. The Cherry I had smoked had just set in before I started my calisthenics exercises. Music still banging I was in the zone. It took me a total of 20 min to finish the calisthenics. I took 30 seconds breaks in between, but during the breaks I felt eager to begin the next exercise. I felt light headed after the commando pull ups. But it didn't slow me down at all, it motivated me more.
End Work out:
After the pull ups and sit ups I start my jog back home. I had only one bong rip so the effects had already started to dwindle down.. At first my breath was heavy; splitting my jog in half I was find more challenging. You never really sync into a “runners high,” when you split it up, (that's kind of the point). When you force yourself to keep going when you're tired you're mental game increases. Which is also really beneficial when training MMA or BJJ.
The Cherry is definitely a nice mellow stoned while working out. It kept me concentrated and centered. I liked it because it helped me get my mind off my lack of cardio.
Doesn't weed lower testosterone though?
Excellent Question! There are many factors to this questions but to keep things short is yes I do believe marijuana can lower testosterone. Reports show THC lowers testosterone production in rodents, canines and primates, but for only 1 hour. However human studies on the same subject varied greatly on weather they were a chronic marijuana smoker or casual. casual smokers experienced almost no loss in testosterone.
You must also pay attention to the athletes diet if they are a smoker. Fitness enthusiast tend to stay away from cholesterol because of all the bad press it has got over the decades. However cholesterol is a pre-cursor for testosterone production. Staying active and lifting also keeps your testoerone leveled.
Alot of people feel lazy and unmotivated to work out after they smoke, to them I suggest waiting on the weed until after the work out. Marijuana is a wonderful anti-inflammatory and I believe this might be the best ways to see marijuana benefits as an athlete.
I like to have fun though and I dont think it affects me or my work out. I train BJJ daily and lift.
I'm sure if you were to ask UFC Fighter Nick Diaz if weed effects him negatively he'll probably laugh. Everyone is different and has different tolerances.
