Quote from: DJChameleon on Feb 10, 2025, 05:59 PMWeird question but I'm gonna ask.

Do you guys think that masturbating or having sex prior to working out gives you a worse performance during the workout?

I'm trying to figure out if it's all in my head or if there is something to it.

Just like how athletes get told not to have sex before their big game. I wonder if it's just superstition or if there is science behind it.

I'm going to test it out this week and refrain from "pre gaming" to see if my results are different.

Did chest day today.

from my limited understanding of things, yes it can have an effect depending the person. the same as a dude who can only orgasm once during sex and calls it a night and no round two lol

its a testosterone and stamina thing, but in my opinion that really shouldnt matter if you're just daily training. if you have a big event or test, maybe hold off? i dont even know. I would think the higher the testosterone, it wouldn't matter as much, and the lower it would.

When I know I am going to attempt a PR I abstain the day before.

I can lack drive, focus, and be more relaxed well into the next day.

I prefer to feel tense, irritated, aggressive on a max effort day.

Got another biopsy on the bottom of my foot so gonna be out of the gym for a few weeks while it heals. This one was deeper this time. Doc said a month time to heal but good grief.i don't think I can stay out of the gym that long.

I'm gonna work my arms and core at home in the mean time.

I was this cool the whole time.


did a half marathon this morning, it was pretty hard lol

**The Rep Goal System is the fastest way to build muscle.

The "Rep Goal" is the total reps performed for ALL sets. You do NOT perform this number for each set.

Take squats for example. This full-body workout calls for 3 sets with a Rep Goal of 25. Start with a weight that is about 72.5 to 75% of your one rep max. Perform 3 sets using this weight. If your total reps for these sets reaches 25 or more, you will add weight to the bar the next time you squat.
