So whats better to ingest pre-exercise? What will keep me running faster and longer...or what will make me feel less of the burn when I'm doing pushups so I can do more?

Any experience? Any tips?

Anybody?

[jbone45]

Usually what I do right before a workout is get some good bubba kush with some oil on top and im ready to get up and go...not

In all seriousness, I wouldn't medicate before I workout. If you have to, most people on this forum will say a Sativa would be the best choice.

I prefer a hybrid before working out, probably one that leans slightly sativa (60s/40i). I like to have the relaxed body, with the alert head. The sativa side of things will also get me motivated (depending on the strain).

Maybe its just me but either way smoking before a workout generally gets me tired quicker.. or at least feel a deep burn quicker in my muscles. I actually like to smoke some sour diesel or other Sativa dominant strains and down a Starbucks espresso shot.. keeps me energized at perfect levels. Your body is of course different than mine so just find the right combination of things.

[trueuhuru]

I smoke after workouts, although I've smoked before and unless you're on a hardcore training regiment you should be fine. I personally tend to stick with sativas because indicas make me drowsy, while sativa combines with the runners high/adrenaline from working out to provide a nice stony, energetic feeling.

A good sativa I would think...not as much of a burnout

[konj]

i smoked b4 a good workout and i think an indica would be best because you are more relaxed and can get a good rythm going.

[katnipcreations]

JBone is correct in my opinion this was very good advise....

...avoid medicating right before exercise. When you are working out you breath heavily and it's probably better for you to have uncompromised lungs so that more oxygen can reach your bloodstream through your lungs.

I don't medicate before working out because I have a heart condition (also) and medicating COULD compromise MY safety. I am not saying something would happen.....just why take a chance.

I know everyone debates whether Sensi-Star is an indica or sativa... but, my .02 cents worth is,when I medicate with this...I clean my house and accomplish more.

Indica is for sleep or relaxing while Sativas are more for creative thinking , focus, cleaning house etc... There are some very strong sativas...like extreme green crack. It has that name for a reason. I have been told it is great for ADD patients but it is WAY TO strong for me...so the most important thing to say is you know your body and PLEASE

Just BE CAREFUL! some sativas can make a person feel JITTERY and that is no fun especially when your heart is already pumping from exercise. Best of luck to you.

Reading through this thread made me think, different tokes for different folks! :slaugh:
Really, though, it's got to come down to your body, mind, and what type of exercising you're trying to do. And I mean, all 3 of those areas have to balance out right for it to be good. So, it will be different for each person. I'd rather not medicate before working out. To me, MMJ is another variable in already getting the mind and body in sync to go do some exercising. Then after the exercising, a good Sativa dom hybrid is what I like, to lift my spirits up even more, and to sooth any body aches. But that's me, and we can all have different results from MMJ, so I believe other folks when they say using MMJ before the workout makes it better for them. Along those lines, then, I'd say there's no one answer to suit all patients. It's like, you've got to know how one particular strain and specific batch is going to affect you, and you've got to decide if those effects are going to help or hinder you're exercising. And then, try it out to get the right answer for you.

For me I had Bull rider that was very energizing and would maybe take a small snap and skate Chino skateparks pool !!!! and The Jack Herrer- The sativas are kinda racy for me if Im skating or hiking.

hahaha true!
I say a sativa or if choosing hybrid pick 1 with more sativa2indica ratio, for exercising

But if it was me I would do a great exercise then medicate with some indica maybe crowned off with concentrate and crash the f*** out!!!!!!

[herbwalker]

whatever you do vape, don't smoke before exercising. Sativa dominant for sure. Just don't spend too much time socializing at the gym!

[FOREVER420]

hmm lets see..I'm a fitness & swimsuit model so I'm at the gym for hours everyday and I never smoke before I go. The few times I have I felt I didn't get as good as a workout. Sativa or Indica, no type of weed is going to get you pumped up and ready to go to the gym. I'd suggest waiting until after to smoke, It's my best high of the day and what I look forward to while working out. After smoking a bowl not many I don't know very many people that want to get up to go to the gym lol
Well that's actually where I'm going right now, good luck with your studies

[qwerty5439]

yeah vape + sativa + no socializing at the gym sounds like the best combo.

[Dr_ugmonet]

i love to smoke before a good work out. i havent gone to the gym in a couple of years now, but i skate every day. when i dont smoke im lagging it, not skating as hard or fast. smoking a bit helps a bunch, gives me an additional little boost.

doesnt really matter if its an indica or a sativa, but those categories have never really affected me as per norm.

the only thing i keep in mind, is if i get too high, i wont be able to bomb hills properly. i start doubting myself, my reaction time isnt up to where it needs to be. those 2 can really lead to disastors. just a snapper or 2, hop on my board and a couple of big pushes, my day has begun

[DasLouiS]

For weights indica. For running sativa. Def.

For me the best thing to do is medicate with a nice sativa to get my energy level, and motivation up, and after winding down from a good workout, I will smoke an indica to help me go to sleep

[mava]

it doesn't matter for me... it just usually depends on how i feel before i workout. but for me i like to smoke a bowl or two after i eat my pre workout meal an hour before. I love smoking a joint and chillin in the sauna/ steam room espeically

[The Suicide King]

thanks to sativa mj

i can get back to working out my back! so i can have it like JASON STATHAM! my bodybuilder idol

i can honestly say i work out while medicated YOU GOTTA TRY IT WHILE RUNNING!

[luckysheven]

gotta love the indica

Hi, I smoked a really fun Sativa called Super Sativa and i went for about an hour run through griffith park. It was great. i just kept going cuz i couldn't feel the burn in my legs (granted, i'm in pretty good shape, but god knows that first 5-10 minutes can be hell) and I was clear minded (not paranoid) and after the run was done, so was the high. Short, fun, spunky high. Maybe try it if you can get ahold of some.Thx! hope that helpswyomingirl

[red_eye_ked]

I am thinking....

1) for sure vape it before workout ( I feel like the vape posterchild since I got mine. I still love a snap off my glass after work. I hate waiting 20 min after work brfore I can medicate.

2) I hear good things about WHITE WIDOW *( that should helpe energy wise)

good luck to you.

[SlipNSlide]

I would say sativa (not the racy type) all the way for motivational purposes unless you are gonna do heavy duty cardio exercise. Then it might be a lil risky regardless of what it is that you vape prior to that. I have been doing advanced yoga and weight lifting for the last 3 yrs and if I medicate with a nice sativa dominant hybrid or a non-racy sativa , it seems to me that I can keep my focus much longer and pumps can get more intense when I lift. Works differently for each individual though. So trial and error is probably your best bet.
Good luck :)

[The Kushman's Cousin]

For me it doesn't really matter whether I smoke an Indica or Sativa before lifting weights, as long as there is good music playing while I'm working out and I am zoning. I used to think that smoking before working out would make it harder for me, but it's actually the opposite. I am more focused and determined to workout for a longer period of time. But if I were to recommend one over the other (for anyone in general), it would be Sativa.

[Smokus Cannabis]

I've found that it's to my advantage to only smoke enough to get buzzed when I work out - and I try to drink some coffee with that as well. If I get too high off anything, it'll zap my drive, but I will have a great time.
Indica and sativa don't matter much, though I suppose most would suggest a sativa. I've done both plenty of times. One piece of advice I can give would be - do not get too high that you blow off your workout. Hell, I've walked right by the gym into a restaurant too many times.
