NO- it's a misconception. More frequent sexual encounters actually raise test levels. | ||

It might affect strength if you have particularly strenuous sex prior to your workout, but otherwise, no. In fact, an orgasm before your workout actually raises test levels in the bloodstream. You'll have more in your system for the workout. | ||

Who comes up with this shit? They only way not having sex would improve your performance in the gym is making angry and cranky as hell, allowing you to have a more intense workout. ------------------ | ||

I posted a study concerning sex and testosterone production... it should be in the search under archived topics.

I saw a study at U-Washington that when athletes dont have sex the night before a game, they dont perform as well as the athletes that do have sex... I find it very energizing to work out afer sex | ||

NO! Just don't bust a nut right before you go to the gym, unless you're on a lot of juice. ------------------ | ||

Is the possibility of a little added strength really worth it? | ||

What the hell kind of bullshit is this? I'll take sex any time I can get it. I don't care if my bench drops a few pounds. I don't think that fucking affects your work out one way or another. Who thinks up these studies? I read a study once that said athletes who use anabolic steroids are much stronger than those who don't. I don't believe a word of it. It's all BULLSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!! | ||
