The Muscle Maximizer

Men are notorious for debauchery talk stereotypical costumes, women, body parts, some shameful acts normally as women, we roll our eyes and pretend to be offended by the total lack of class, must have.
However, women can not share their immediate thoughts for all tastes in sex and others are thought to be taboo subjects as easily. In private, however, I have found that women are more verbal about sex, what they like and do not like, and what are and are not.
Competitive bodybuilders and fitness athletes are no different, but everything seems to revolve about sex, or the lack of it affect your training, diet, fitness, and finally its implementation
Refraining From Sex Before A Big Event
It is well known that many professional athletes, baseball players, football players, fighters, and endurance athletes have all claimed to abstain from sexual activity with a partner, and even from masturbation immediately before a big event. There is this 'old-school' belief that it somehow reduces stamina, reduces power, and reduces the force that the athlete can put forth at their big event, tournament or game.
This seems to be true, for a minute. After athletes abstained from ejaculation (serum test levels were tested daily) for 6 days their levels had not changed. On the seventh day only, the levels of testosterone jumped by 50 percent.
This was back down to the previous level the next (8th) day of abstaining. This seems to mean a 50 percent increase could be achieved, but for what? Abstain from sex for six days in order to have a killer leg day on the 7th? Umm, no. It's just not a usable or convenient method
In bodybuilding, this seems to be a divided issue. Some professional bodybuilders won't have sex in the days or weeks before a show, thinking it will reduce testosterone, or at the very least take away their laser-like focus on the prize.
Arnold Schwarzenegger defied this school of thought and believed that sex before or after lifting weights and working out helped him to relax and increased his vasodilatation, and thus his training output..
It's true that bodybuilding (lifting weights that is) lowers testosterone levels (serum), but only remain slightly lower for less than 3 hours. One study found that when 10 men watched a pornographic movie for 15 minutes, their testosterone levels jumped 100 percent afterwards, while the 10 ladies rolled in at 80 percent more testosterone!1
Now should we all watch porn right before we hit the gym... well, maybe not every workout! Seriously though, the arousal itself seems to show a massive increase in test levels, and it would then seem the next question to be, "How long does it last?"
It seems the levels remained elevated at 75 percent of the max for over 90 minutes, so you better hurry! From the other side of the coin this also seems to increase aggression in turn, and increases the likelihood one will do things such as pull the trigger on a gun.
Measuring Testosterone Levels
Studies in rats, testosterone levels were tested before ejaculation, immediately after one, two, four and two. Tests on rats showed a significant increase in testosterone after the other, and remained at the highest level in rats, even after four ejaculations, about four hours.
This shows great promise that after ejaculation naturally improves training (not to mention a pleasant) to increase sexual activity, either as a couple or alone. Apparently, these tests are biased in one way, however, are almost all made men.
I hope that in the future there will be more direct studies on women in the fitness and bodybuilding and sexual health. This is a joke, while preparing, that the closer you get, and the better you look, the less I want to make love with anyone.
Some of the chemicals they use, and I will not cover here, you will not suffer the effects of training and diet to the stadium. The extreme competition training mode is a number in the body, mood, not to mention sex. Hungry, tired, and cold is not only appealing to most people.
Some women report an energy boost after intercourse leading to orgasm, wanting to jump up and clean something, or bounce around the house, while others say they are happy to watch TV, relax with your partner just doze to sleep.
Conclusion
It seems that bodybuilding and training have a lot more affect on the body and on sex than just who has the hottest bod! Although, that is one really great benefit to being a lean, hard, super-fit person, and to being with someone who holds their body to that standard; you feel great about your body, your body looks great and you know it.
