Hey,

A few years ago i read an article saying that if you "withhold" for 7 days, then ejaculate on the 7th day testostrone levels increase 50 more, so that equals 150% testostrone levels.Any research to back this up?

I notice when i go a few days of withholding i seem to be hyperfocused and i get a whole lot more done.

I heard that witholding can be bad for test levels.

Actually, the testosterone boost comes 7 days after the last ejaculation. There was a study on it, but I'd have to do some digging to find it...

WOW so that means 7 days after I die my test levels will sky rocket

Even God rested on the 7th day guys!

Lol thats funny bro. So If you want higher Testostrone Levels, which is always a big benefit in bodybuilding, release, then dont ejaculate for 7 days and they skyrocket?

Ive heard that opposite that you dont ejaculate for 7 days then do it then Testostroen levels soar to 150 %?

Im thinking its the latter but now ive heard both. i guess either way works. so you can do this both ways. Well i want to see the research behind this. But dont have too, im willing to give this a shot for extra testostrone levels. I have done it once before a few years ago. and let me tell you it MIGHT, i cant remember make you cranky, and then again it disiplines your mind, which is a goodthing so ill take the disicpline over making me cranky. lol

It is every 7th day. Testosterone levels drop after ejaculation, but Testostorone levels rise daily to maximum on the 7th day. They will begin start dropping on the eight day even if you don't ejaculate and heading down. It is probably part of the reason our weeks are 7 days long. Sorry, I don't have a copy of research either.

Ya I' ll just have to take they're word for it on this claim. The truth is out there...but whats the point?(haha)

[xtraflossy]

lol- wait, I thought maybe your body liked to have a certin amount of sperm "on hand" (punn intended), so so by having your test levels drop (actually, I think you just produce more aromatase enzymes),producing elevated estrogen/prolactin (oh, interesting, the prolactin release may ensure that you replenish your energy levels to ensure survival...) producing a greater amout of GH, thus leading to a greater amount of LH to be outputted, to replenish test and sperm levles??????

so the cycle goes..
"The deed" --> aromatase/estrogen---> GH increase---> LH increase--->test/sperm replenishing

-ok, ok, so I made that last part up with out any scientific backing (in a single study at least)..

lol- ever wonder why you sleep soooo much better after you get some?

Test levels after Ejaculation - Another thread about this topic.

[xtraflossy]

So....

After the 7th day, the peak occurs, how long was the elevation? If the elevation is only for 1 day, that hardly seems worth it.
Now, if that peak was maintained from day 7 on, until ejac, then you essentually would double your test for as long as you could hold out.
However, the study mentions that:

Ejaculation is the precondition and beginning of the special periodic serum testosterone level variations, which would not occur without ejaculation. The results showed that ejaculation-caused variations were characterized by a peak on the 7th day of abstinence; and that the effective time of an ejaculation is 7 days minimum.
"No regular fluctuation was observed following continuous abstinence after the peak"

I beleive this is means that your load is only good about 7 days minimum. So, of you wrestle the bald headed champ on Monday, then the following Monday (withholding) you'd get a nice test spike.. but that would only be good for a little bit, as to "replace" your boys on the front lines becasue your troops are restless.

Doesnt seem worth it to me.
I dont like waiting 7 hours, so forget about 7 days.

Damn son, that's one hell of an analogy A+

Man, I don't believe any of you would actually consider such a thing. There's a point when you just have to go to the gym, eat good and go on with your life outside this ****.

Lol- what do you think?
there's just no way I could last 7 days, for a few hours of elevated test

That being said, I'll also purposely get myself all heated, to get my test levels up (along with aggression) before I workout....
(this is just how it works out, not done purposely for that though :P - )

Thats funny. I've actually had that happen to me with my wife coming down to the basement (home gym) and "bothering" me during a workout, so I agree that the agression goes up. Just don't take it too far, if you know what I mean because after that, workout over. Nap time. LOL.
