So I have read numerous places that smoking cannabis can reduce levels of testosterone, how severe is this? Is this phenomenon only an issue with daily smokers or will the weekend toker also have his lifting affected negatively?
I have read the same goes for alcohol, how much drinking before a BB routine is really set back? I know it varies alot depending on individual and routine but can someone chime in on some general guidelines or experience?
Also I am a swimmer but want to gain muscle, I have uped my protein intake dramatically but am only gaining fat while swimming 2 hours a day (5'6" and 120 Lbs)! What is my problem here? Do I have to stop swimming to make any muscle gains? My body seriously looks more flabby and less cut since I started the new diet and I am doing massive amounts of cardio.
