does sex really affect your legs, stamina in boxing?

[Sam Donald]

i keep hearing this

but what is the real truth...is this a modern myth

some say yes, some say no

personally..i feel what comes with sex is bad...i.e. late nights, drinking, partying etc

but sex and then right back to training n healthy eating is ok?

is it a mental thing

[Evol]

never competed in professional sports but i never believe this. i mean unless u're a sex machine that can go on for 10+ hrs. or if u have sex 30min right before the fight then maybe. but if u bone some chick weeks before the fight or days before the fight how can this effect u??

Yes it does.

Mans motivation is is to impregnate woman. That's what evolution did for us. By having sex, you lose motivation, lose energy, burn up testosterone, lose focus, etc etc.

There was a big thread about this in the training forum. You'll find useful info in that thread.

Try getting some cooch before a 12 round boxing match, it will make a difference, a male ejaculation takes away testosterone amongst various nutrients... Its equivilant to taking 4 meals out of your body

[Divine Hammer]

i always feel like i can conqueror the world after sex.

i guess it depends on different people.

As crazy as this sounds, it has truth to it.


If you are trying to pour your heart soul and body into your training, you can have no distractions to reach peak levels. Women are definitely a distraction. A pleasurable distraction... But a distraction.

Well technically ***** is protein and if you're going ejaculate it's essentially taking that protein away from your body. I think it does have some sort of negative factor but I've never been a pro or tested the science before a sparring session however I can say it did affect my weight training in terms of going in lethargic and weaker. My buddies also stated the same for the weight training.

Really? Ive never tested the theory in the OP but I've had some of my best weight training right after sex. No lie.

From what I#ve read sex is not a problem. ************ is an issue though. I can#t explain why, but according to some scientists, both practice have different effects on your mind and body.
