Sexual abstinence and strength gains

[The One]

My woman left me in february, about a month later i rejoined the gym in March after a year hiatus, and have experience great growth and strength gains. My question is does not having sex improve ur gym performance. Whenever guys ask me what it is I am on thats making me swell i tell them no sex no jerking. i have had the occasional screw but that has been like twice since february.
Even though i am horny as hell i think the gym performance is going good went from 165 to 186 from March this year and lost some fat at the same time. I'd probly be more if i was on creatine.

Cant wait to see myself in December. By then I will post my pic

no........ its just the fact that you got back int the gym.......... sex can either help or hurt you.

You know the sad ( or at least my interpretation of it ) thing is I would rather have sex with someone I cared about than gain 10-15 pounds of muscle, ask yourself which is really more important and if you honestly answer the muscle, then I guess your'e getting what you truly deserve.

bro this is turning into an emotional issue. Feelings aside... sex i think possibly can hinder your gains, especially if you have sex and then hit the gym. Sex i believe lowers your immune system for several hours and sex before the gym isn't a great idea b/c you'd also feel tired.

I read somewhere, can't remember where (maybe men's health or somethin) that having sex at night before bed...when most people do...actually raises testosterone levels--and actually in a study, men that had sex every night for 2 weeks had higher testosterone levels than those who were abstinant. I'll try to find it and post it for ya
