I just read the thread about sex:
Here is a BB.com article, which contains parts of the article relating to the 8 day cycle I am doing.
Bodybuilding.com - Clayton South - Can Sex Affect Your Bodybuilding Gains?
Excerpt:
1. Because testosterone levels are minimized in the presence of elevated insulin levels, the pre-workout meal should consist of lipids and protein - both of which have negligible impacts on insulin levels.
2. Research demonstrates that testosterone levels rise as a response to sexual stimuli. Therefore, an athlete could benefit pre-workout by being exposed pre-workout to sexual stimuli. The athlete could then exercise with increased testosterone levels and aggression.
(I think I might even try this...but this may be pushing it a bit - I don't want to go nuts.)
3. Post-workout, the athlete should consume a protein drink with flax oil or olive oil. Lipids facilitate the passive permeation of the cell wall by sex hormones.
(This may make sense in terms of absorption of testosterone, but what about the absorption rate of the PWO protein? Fats slow digestion, so I wonder which way would be more beneficial?)
4. One hour post-exercise, the athlete should achieve ejaculation. This will increase the natural level of killer cells, thus increasing immune-system function and enhancing recovery abilities. The increase in killer cells will prevent over-training.
You may also choose to postpone the achievement of ejaculation for seven days so as to maximize testosterone on a day of the athletes choosing - i.e. on the hardest training or competition day. If the athlete chooses this protocol, ejaculation should be achieved on the seventh day, post workout and according to the above protocol, so as to avoid the negative feedback suppression of LH demonstrated on day eight of abstinence.
(I would think by jacking off on the 7th day, before the increase subsides, you'd only be wasting the effect. Do it on the 8th day and you make sure you didn't ejaculate too soon and lose the increased testosterone - right?)
