First things first: you need to understand the relationship between masturbation, testosterone and muscle growth. Testosterone is a hormone that ensures muscle growth and male aggression. It’s because of T that you go ham in the gym or in the field.

Watching porn or being subjected to arousing activities shoots up T levels in males to a baffling 100 per cent.  So does masturbation affect T levels? Well, T levels do drop right after masturbation but surely, not as much as gym goers perceive. On the other hand, according to a study, abstaining from masturbation for a week led to a hyper boost of 145 per cent in T levels. Sadly though, the levels automatically started declining from the 8th day.  In short, masturbation will never greatly affect your gym performance.

With testosterone, you have to experience huge increases or decreases to even to feel the slightest impact in performance. And masturbation merely affects the T levels. In fact, this slight drop triggers a spike in T levels which eventually fills up the void. But still it’s not really advised to jizz before you head into a workout. Instead, try shooting up your T levels by watching porn and go beast mode with them weights!
