OLYMPIC Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 But, Does It Work? No, giving up sex doesn't lead to more muscle growth. The studies basically tell us that sex can temporarily lower male testosterone levels a little, but prolonged abstinence (several months of no action) might do that too. Now, sex right before a competition (or leg day) isn't ideal for men. You might be a little, um, drained. There's also some evidence that being a little excited before you train could actually be a performance booster. Yep, anticipation for sex may raise testosterone levels a bit. That's probably where the celibates got the idea to begin with. But in all likelihood, these little dips or peaks in vitamin T don't really amount to much as far as building muscle goes. Now, post-workout sex might help with recovery, especially for women. The ladies actually benefit from pre-workout orgasms too, which lead to pain desensitization, less anxiety, and better focus according to Dr. Jade Teta. But men may temporarily lose some of their aggression, and aggression is handy on deadlift day. But let's get real. There's more to life than muscle, and good sex is one of those things. Don't leave your significant other hanging because it might (but probably won't) lead to slightly better gains. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Durk Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 It’s more of an athletic thing especially among fighters. The theory is you have more cardio vascular endurance if you abstain. The saying in boxing is “you lose your legs”. I don’t know if there is any science behind it, but that is one of the bro science theory’s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mt666tm Posted September 9, 2018 Share Posted September 9, 2018 I don't give up sex for working out, but if my wife wants it early AM before I workout I'll send her to the moon a couple times and I won't blow it, then I'll go workout, then I'll come back for round two! Or worst case if the kids are up I'll hold off all day and we'll go for that round two later in the evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
