I was having a hard time thinking of a topic for this article, so I
decided to check out the Teen Bodybuilding section of the message boards. And
there it was, the perfect topic, smoking and bodybuilding, so I went and did
a bit of research. To sum it up into a few short words YOU WON'T GET ANYWHERE!
Pretty much everybody has friends that smoke and if you're like me then you
really want them to quit, but there's not much you can do about it, because
its an addiction and addictions are complicated, but I don't want to get into
all the psychological crap, that's not what I want to talk about.
Smoking and bodybuilding just don't mix, for one thing the cardio part
of your workout program will be screwed, and eventually you'll be so weak
that the rest of your program will be just as screwed, and in result you're
screwed. When you smoke you're body doesn't get the oxygen it needs, and then
your blood won't get the oxygen it needs. Not to mention your teeth and
fingers will be stained yellow, and you wont have much luck with the ladies.
We've all heard of Carbon Monoxide, its in car exhaust, comes out of smoke
stacks on factories, and its a by-product of tobacco, so just think of
smoking as sucking on a rusty exhaust pipe, not a pretty picture eh?
Personally I find smoking disgusting, I try to get as many people to
quit as I can, but so far I haven't been very successful, like I said it's an
addiction. But at least I'm trying, that's gotta count for something right?
SO BASICLY SMOKING AND BODYBUILDING DON'T MIX! YOU GOTTA PICK ONE....TOUGH
CHOICE RIGHT?
