Have you ever wondered whether or not masturbation was affecting your muscle growth If so, then you are definitely going to want to watch this video. In this video, Jesse and I are going to discuss the possible benefits that masturbation might have when it comes to your efforts in the gym. Find Your Program Here - Subscribe to this channel here - Let’s start with this line of thinking comes from, that masturbation is affecting your muscle growth. It’s been an old saying from boxing coaches that masturbation will lead to a lack of performance in a fight. The thought was that because ejaculation relaxes you, you wouldn’t have the aggression necessary to win that fight. It later evolved into the thought that masturbation decreases your testosterone and in order to build the most muscle possible, you need to maximize your testosterone at all times. While studies have shown that testosterone (both free and total) decreased after masturbation, these effects were shown to be transient - lasting a very short while before normalizing. However, it was also found that androgen receptor sensitivity increased which offsets the lowered testosterone levels thanks to the human body looking to maintain homeostasis. So, if masturbation doesn’t really have an effect on testosterone and muscle building in a negative sense, how might it be beneficial Is there anything that can be done when it comes to masturbation and building muscle Well, it depends on when you decide to engage in this activity. If you decide to masturbate prior to working out, you might benefit form the release of 2-AG endocannabinoid binding to CB2 receptors. What this does is cause not only a feeling of tranquility and relaxation, but also a blunting of pain and discomfort. If you were training for strength, it might not be the best idea, but if your goal is muscle hypertrophy, that’s a different story. You see, being able to push past the point of discomfort and the burn when approaching failure, you can expect to eke out a few more reps because you can tolerate that discomfort further. This is especially true when it comes to metabolic overload as well, since I like to say that the set starts when the burn starts. If you can continue to push through in that stage, you will be able to get more out of your sets. However, there is a benefit to masturbating before bedtime. This is because ejaculation releases oxytocin, otherwise known as the love hormone, which is a hormone that is known to help decrease cortisol levels and improve sleep / restfulness. Newer studies are showing that this increase in oxytocin leads to a faster road to Slow Wave Sleep (phase 3 in the sleep cycle, just before REM sleep) and longer time spent in it. This is exciting because we know that phase 3 sleep is the most important for anyone that works out as this is where muscle protein synthesis occurs, along with the restoration of muscle glycogen stores, tissue repair and remodeling, growth hormone release and even immune function. These findings are key because as we know, the most important factor of muscle building when it comes to natural lifters is recovery. So if masturbation is an activity that boost your muscle recovery process, that can actually lead to increased muscle mass and strength. While more research is needed on the timing of masturbation prior to sleep in order to really understand more about the relationship between masturbation and Slow Wave Sleep, the early findings are eye opening.

I'm just turning it into another workout. I'm not just sitting in a comfortable chair and polishing my fitting. I use different poses and techniques. One-handed grip, two-handed grip, reverse grip, full amplitude, partial amplitude, short amplitude at the top point only or at the bottom point only, rotation, partial coverage. And I always use my hips. Standing, lying on your back, lying on your side, kneeling or on one knee. There are many variations, and if you supplement this with warm-up Kegel exercises, then after the enchanting climax you feel completely squeezed and exhausted, your whole body is shaking and even just going to the shower can be problematic. This activity is not for every day, muscles can ache like after a good workout for a few more days.

It's a tradition in india and has been going on since 1000's of years where the professional wrestlers leave their home and family and go to a traditional wrestling school where they are prohibited to fap or even think about women lol. It's also known as brahmacharya where you have to stay away from lustful thoughts and engage in such an activity. My personal experience is when you are working out you automatically stray away from this activity but when you are idle you get back to it.

I think it, absolutely, hilarious that someone would worry about masturbation killing their gains when the biggest threat to their gains is having a child! Yup, after a guy's firstborn drops, his testosterone nosedives by, roughly, 25%-30%. After the second child, it can drop past the 50% point. My advice: stay single; beat-yer-meat; keep your gains (and, potentially, your house, money, and soul.

there is a downside to masturbation,
I am a lefty amd doing this act in a specific way with Left hand had a very negative effect on my suscle.
Now after years of this, my left side triceps and chet are more defined than my eight side. Now my efforts are more to bring balance to muscle definition, but its still far away from ideal symmetry.
Please help

I found I can extend my Deep sleep cycle 3 to 8 mins longer, I can't believe I am saying this, by combining Athlean-Rx ReconstruXion Pure Encapsulation Melatonin SR. I take recon immediately after dinner and melatonin SR 2 hours before bed. I verified the effect via fitbit over the course of three weeks.

BS, you just want people to waste their time on women and not take matters into their own hands, greg doucette said it dosent effect it beacuse it has nothing to do with it, i myself train, and i perform much better if i do it. Doctors have said that too. We need to take care of our needs speacially as men
reply

Ah, the blessing/curse of oxytocin; the cuddle for comfort and crush your enemies hormone; I feel like prolactin is also part of the conversation here, relative to sleep. Anandamide is the love hormone, probably preferable in many ways but more difficult to access. Great video. Timing really is everything
reply

As per usual, nothing useful. Not even negative effects were mentioned here. It's like the whole matrix wants for men to be weak, starting from the dirty movies and social media to people trying to convince you that wasting the juice of life and your energy could be useful to you. What a world we live in.
reply

As I see this man slowly shrink in size and still maintain great musculature physiology, it makes me realize he probably was never on steroids and is natural. Because he looks like someone who has been natural their whole life and was just really big and strong when he was in his prime.

Testosterone is released when you masturbate. This is rubbish. If you watch porn as a replacement to real relationships then you will find yourself in a rut but otherwise it is healthy. If there is anything that seems like a mind virus on the internet atm it’s this no fap garbage.
reply

I don't doubt that the science Jeff is talking about is real, but i think the psychological effects are more prominent than the physiological ones. Okay it might release oxytocin, but that shame and guilt a lot of us experience certainly doesn't help to have a great workout or sleep
reply

bull shit! You should see my left bicep! LOL!
I am right handed, but my RIP friend from England told me - lie on your non-dominant hand until it gets pins and needles - then it feels like someone else!
I've been in a relationship with an unknown somebody for 25 years!

You don't have muscles so you can't get a girl. You can't get a girl so you whack it. You can't get muscles because you whack it. You can't get a girl because you don't have muscles, so you whack it. It's a vicious world we living in, but I'm gonna keep on living it.

Not a doctor, but doing the deed decreases your chances of prostate problems later in life by a lot. Which may not seem like a big deal when you're 25, but you'll wake up sooner than you think at 55, and you'll be happy that everything still works without little pills.

I come to check if masturbating before going to the gym would kill my gains. drops your testosterone ok but I don't really have testosterone. anything to say about girl masturbation or no would have loved to see that specified in the title.
reply

Masturbation is not good contrary to what people tell you. It drains life force from men (sperm has the ability to procreate. Additionally its attached to everything else, not having control over desires, lack of focus, distraction, etc.
reply

lol who comes up with this shit Your diet and exercising determine your gains but thanks for coming out Jeff. Jerk off, work out, eat Carnivore and make money. Life is pretty simple. Don't put women on a pedestal its simp vibes.
reply

If I go a week without release I can physically feel the pent up aggression. I personally would love to see my own test numbers throughout the week because the same effects from high test I get when I'm angry and randy lol
