Soma While Training

[autarch]

Would Soma (muscle relaxer, light euphoric) have any benefits if it were active during weight training or cardiovasclar workouts or would it impair my abilities? Obviously I wouldn't want to be too zonked out, but I have a soma prescription for muscle tension which I am supposed to take 3 times a day and I thought I might take one before doing training.

I don,t know anything about Soma but anything that makes you euphoric, even slightly, is bad news when you're carrying heavy weights, don't you think?

I can't see why a muscle relaxer would be good when you are contracting your muscles. Maybe later on in the evening when you want to relax and go to sleep it could be beneficial. Some people like to take small doses of narcotics before weight training to dull the pain and workout more intensely. Things like vicodin, nubain, methadone, etc. are not uncommon in a bodybuilders pharmaceutical collection. If you have addiction issues then you may not want to risk it. Personally soma makes me tired and feel drunk, then when it starts wearing off it makes me twitch. I don't like it.
