Thumbs down Consequences

Just a question, but all i've heard on this subject are just rumors and generic gym talk so any help here would be great. Are there any consequences of having sex and/or masturbating when trying to gain and maintain strength for competition or just keeping things rolling in the gym?

Some people think that it lowers testosterone. Not something you need to worry about. Its untrue



But when you disarm them, you at once offend them by showing that you distrust them, either for cowardice or for want of loyalty, and either of these opinions breeds hatred against you.

I wouldn't try to have sex or masterbate while doing skull crushers or flat bench, you should be OK during leg extensions and leg curls though.

The only thing it does to me is decrease some of my motivation to lift. Part of my motivation is to get laid. However, there are enough other motivators that I will keep going.

I think it was an article in TwinLabs that talked about how masturbating and sexual intercourse could limit your gains...I'll try to get a link. It's good to know it doesn't have these effects though!

That is what I have heard. Honestly for me, I find it easier to concentrate working out if I get some before. Gets my mind off of it.

I believe the way it works is that more test you get rid of means the more your body needs to produce, which means test production actually increases. Your body is all about balance.

This is why when you are putting artifical test in your system (with AAS) it stops your natural test production because your body doesn't need to produce it anymore. Then when you stop your body crashes because it can't produce test naturally as much anymore.

So by that logic more sex = more test



Today I can do what others will not so that tomorrow I will do what others cannot.

The difference between winners and losers is that winners do things that losers don't want to do.

Ah, great My g/f was getting angry because I refused to do anything with her a week prior to a meet. I'm sure she'll appreciate this news as much as I have.

You feel so lazy after you nut cuz your body releases endorphins and such that are natural relaxers.

i'm not sure if it raises/lowers test levels, but i do know that it makes me feel weak/lazy. so sex can wait till after the w.o..

If I don't get laid for a little while, then I can channel my pent up sexual energy into lifting madness. Seriously, next time you don't get laid for a while, try yelling the word "pussy" really loud as you are trying to push out that last repitition.

Dont think that would go over well at my Gym...I mean..."fitness club".
