frequent sexual activity reduces testosterone levels?

[RockyMarcianofan00]

u should not have any kind of sexual activity near a fight because it will make your testorone drop and mess with your performance

that poster 'j' will know.. the one with the orange avitar.. he knows everything. a really good cricket player once told me to have a toss before you go out to bat because it relaxes u and gives ya better concentration

my advice would be to abstain from sex for at least a few days before a fight. furthermore, never train immediately after having sex.

sex does indeed sap your energy reserves. the more you do it, the less immediate energy you will have available. i'm sure that everyone here has heard about ali abstaining for 2 full months, the "it weakens your legs" quote from rocky, etc. so, one would probably think, if ali found that it was usefull, it probably is.

muhammad ali was not the first boxer, nor the last boxer that trained in this way. hell, boxing isn't even the only sport where athletes do something similar. now, this supposed "myth" was started long ago. one thing i will mention - martial artists have known about this for centuries, well before boxing became the prizefighting sport that it now is.

i have read a few articles that have stated that sex the night before a big game or a big fight will not affect you're performance much, but may affect you're ability to concentrate. actually, it stated the exact opposite of what mgkirkpatrick had just posted. i, however, will trust my own experience over observational studies.

simply put, there's a reason why this topic has become somewhat a tradition among many boxers. there's also a reason why it has been common knowledge in traditional martial arts circles for over a thousand years. so, obviously, if it was bull****, it would have been discarded with hundreds of years ago.

yea i could agree with that.
thing is everybody tells me that it does effect you and i've expierenced it first hand so you decide

Man sex kills me. It makes the legs weak haha. Seriously though i've felt tired as hell later on, after I get it on. lol Talking about LADIES, sex with a dude probably makes you're white blood cell count decrease dramatically. LOL

rocky marciano used to abstain 2 months before a fight and not even hug or kiss his wife two weeks before a fight. damn, he was crazy!
