Anyone who has followed the career of bodybuilding’s Number Uno has likely seen the video of Arnold Schwarzenegger smoking a fat joint. However, while the vast consensus of the bodybuilding community has adopted that the occasional drink with friends isn’t going to derail your physique, how should they feel about casual use of marijuana after hitting the gym?

The general idea is that in order to be successful at bodybuilding you need to be able to fine-tune your nutritional intake.

So, you have to ask yourself; “Does marijuana impact muscle growth?” Overwhelmingly, the science seems to reply with a resounding “not much.”
