Performance enhancing drugs like HGH, anabolic steroids, and others have long been around, but usually with dire consequences. Physical health risks as well as career risks often plague athletes, or people in general, who decide to “dope” with these types of performance-enhancing drugs. For those of us though, who the roids don't appeal to, but who still want increased performance at the gym - HHC just might be your new (natural) workout enhancement.
Hemp & Working Out
While THC and CBD products have been used in areas of the fitness realm for recovery, mood, and stress, HHC may it’s our energy boosting brother. While its been found that cannabis products don't necessarily help with the physical performance of working out, it seems to help with the mental state. In a study done by the University of Colorado, they found that participants who took HHC before the gym felt more energy and enjoyment during their workout than those in the control group. Pain rates were identified as low, and participants felt happier to be at the gym. That may sound trivial - but have you ever gone to the gym and really didn't want to be there? You get nothing out of it! Being in a relaxed and energetic state of mind not only helps you enjoy your workout, but it can also lead to increased effort, motivation, and outpout.
Workout Recovery = Workout Performance
We can’t perform at our most elite without a good recovery regimen. If we aren't allowing our bodies to repair after a tough workout, it isn't ready for the next one. Most fitness experts will tell you that progress happens during recovery, not during the workout. There are massive benefits to allowing your body to properly rest and recover, which include:
- Quicker and easier increase in strength, endurance, and performance
- Reduced fatigue
- Reparation and growth of muscle fibers
- Lower incidence of injury
Cannabis, as we know, has long been renowned for its anti-inflammatory pain reduction and relaxation properties, and consumers say that consuming HHC during or after a workout helps them feel fully rested when they are in recovery mode, as they have fewer feelings of stress or anxiety. Even though it may not be like other performance-enhancing steroids that help you physically lift the heavier weight, HHC does the work behind the scenes, helping you to fully recover in a healthy way so that you hit that PR the next time you're in the gym - naturally. Don’t skip on recovery! Get the most out of the effort you put in.
