Sex the same day as training

[Kacha]

Is it bad to have sex on the same day as training? Some people told me that this lowers your testosterone levels, and you do not perform so well in the gym. I have in reality noticed some sort of weakness after having sex – is this because of testosterone getting lower?

No, the amount of testosterone lost during sexual intercourse is absolutely minimal, so it will not affect your training in any manner. The only reason why it is not a good idea to have sex before training, and I mean before training, not just on the same day, is because prolactin will raise after having sex, and this hormone at high levels makes you feel sluggish, like you don't want to do anything. This is why men get asleep after having sex.

as long as you hydrate and eat after you will have plenty of energy

Short of banging the GF (or wife etc) in the car park just before a leg session it's ok.

I do notice probably 99% mental that sex before chest workout I'm not as strong. Legs I'm fine.

BS. Unless you're banging her for hours and exhausting yourself I can't see it. Of course, if you did why not bang her AFTER. Solves that problem in a New York minute.

Sex is terrible. Absolutely workout every day and never have sex again.

Kidding.

sex/ejaculation does not effect testosterone levels in any way.

You might have less energy when you workout after having sex because sex is a form of cardio after all. It would be almost be like going for a run before your workout.
