Joe calzaghe has sex the night before a big fight
I can't remember a boxer other than manny that had his stamina
The guy could move and throw for hours on end
I went without sex before my first powerlifting comp and it fucked me up
I was too busy checking the women lifters in their singlets, even the fatties
I fucked the night before the next comp and even beat it the morning of and had the best comp ever. Went 9/9 and pbs in every lift
I don't need to be aggressive when I compete
I prefer a calm, level head before I lift, similar to when I used to do kickboxing. Like a zen focus
If you seen me attempting a max deadlift or squat, you would think I was walking over to lift the shopping
I'm not saying you are wrong, but everyone is different
It's less common today.
Many boxers practice even when claiming otherwise.
If you talked to an old martial artist, they would explain theres a certain energy behind the practice. Many of those old school, traditional guys had more awareness of energy and implemented it as a practice into their art ..that whole philosophy could be a thread in itself.
But, there is some genuine hormonal benefit as well. Based on a few rat studies, not ejaculating seems to increase androgen density / sensitivity.
Androgen health could be said to even more important than test as it essentially determines the effectiveness of your testosterone.
Many of the tens / hundreds of thousands of thousands practicing in the more watered down "nofap " community almost universally report things like, deeper voice, thicker beard, more attraction from women, more confidence, etc.
Which clearly indicates theres some genuine benefit to your hormonal profile. Much of it anecdotal / empirical as we simply dont have the research available. It's an understudied topic, likely because industries like porn benefit from people not knowing wasting their essence is actually damaging them over time.
Anyways, all that said, its pretty clear what an improved hormonal profile does for your fighting, confidence, reflexes, timing and more. You even move differently and have superior balance.
I wouldnt say that the energy is necessarily "more aggressive" it can be. But, I can meditate better while on a long streak and be more zen than at any other point.
So I think its just a matter of doing breathing exercises, controlling the state and transmuting it effectively into your craft. Be it martial arts, lifting or whatever.
Its long been said since ancient times that such energy stored up without real purpose can make a person go mad. So, theres something to be said for using it efficiently.
I dont think theres anyone who wouldn't see their deadlift numbers drastically improve with 2 months or abstinence from all sexual activity.
Think of it like this, each load contains more sperm cells than all of america. Even contains things like zinc, cerebrospinal fluid and more. Every time you bust and nut and get really tired, hungry, dont wanna train. Conversely women feel energized and ready to take on the world.
Theres a reason for that.
Theres an old ayurvedic saying ( ancient indian medicine) that one drop of semen is equivalent to 1 drop of blood. This is an idea that's been around for aeons. Whether it's absolutely true scientifically, it sheds light on why so many ancient cultures acknowledged the value and power of semen.
Pretty sure this is long as hell, lol mb
