Unless someone else on this board quit smoking in the process of their training...they'd probably have a definite answer. Try logging everything in the next 2 weeks. Your nutrition, gains, exercise, strengths,....everything...and 2 weeks from now.. look into your logs if there has been any progression....once again...congratulations!!! -------------- ======== ...frank

It's hard at first, but once your body gets accustomed to not having nicotine (about 4 weeks), you're going to notice a big difference in smell and taste. You'll also find more energy, last longer in your workouts and recovery will seem shorter. Good luck and keep us posted of your progress! -------------- **_Robert_**

Good luck in your training....... at least we won't get wrinkly skin from the cigarettes now we've stopped....

It's all about oxygen transportation so the quicker your lungs heal.. -------------- And my soul must be iron, because my fear is naked. I'm naked and fearless.

However, you should have noticed a slight increase in not only srength but also stamina. I'm involved in an endurance sport (tennis) and I noticed right away after I quit smoking (many years ago) how much longer I can last on the courts! -------------- **_Robert_**

Then I strted competing againat Masters level. Endurance and explosive power (sprints) ARE affected (my case at least). I dont any more now anyways. :0) -------------- Fran
