This is a Stupid question folks; but I want to get clarified from gurus in this forum.

I do cardio and weights 7 days in a week. Are there any restrictions on having sexual intercourse (frequency) immediately after cardio or weights? I vaguely remember reading somewhere that Soccer team players, during tournaments were asked to restrict sexual activities since it makes them weak. Is this true? Does frequest sex slows down building muscles or fat loss

Thanks for your suggestions

haha, this is actually an interesting subject, because sex has been told to be good for cardiovascular health, right?

No it doesn't make you weak. It'll make you tired just like doing any other workout (if done right...), but that's about it.

Sex is a good workout, i forget where i read about the benefits of sex in relationship to health but it had nothing but good things to say about it...i think you might want to limber up before hand or you may pull something though.

I dont think having regular sexual relations is going to have any negative impact on your other workouts beyond making you tired, get enough sleep and enough fuel and your good to go...

I found the lift weights icon, where's the have sex icon? :db:

Oh, brother :rolleyes: Supir...this is the worst!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

BTW...forget the advise about skipping sex. Agree with others...that's an old myth. Do it like they vote in Chicago...early AND often.

If you were a professional soccer player, you might have something to worry about. If your career depended on making that all-important goal, or if your salary varied depending on how fast you could run, then I can understand your concern.

But, honestly, I think you know which is more important for your health - sex or weight lifting.

Wow, at least I hope you do. :p

Is this where I make my joke about "HIIT Cardio" again?

Go longer...go harder...

If your not sweating your not doing it right...

:gl:

seth, i disagree with what everyone has said. if you want to lose weight you CANNOT be having sex. also you should really think about getting rid of all your electricity becuase it really messes up your bodys ability for orchiectomy. I only use my gas powered laptop while cutting.

some good info.....

: Does sex influence training in any way? I'm trying to convince my wife that it will help me lose a few pounds, but I need some ammunition!

A: I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "ammunition", but I can tell you that sex will help you shed some fat - not so much by improving your training (in fact, it may make you too tired to train) but more so by enhancing your recovery. I will touch on it - the subject of restoration that is - more in a future article.

In North America, we tend to concentrate more on training and not nearly enough on restoration. Many Russian and East European coaches actually account for restoration in their periodization plans - they feel it is as important as training. And rightly so! How good can the training effect be if you can't recover? Well, I propose that sex can be ideal for restoration by at least 3 mechanisms. Yes, you read that right! They are:

1. The first deals with the circulatory effect that will aid the removal of waste products (and of course, other things ... eventually) and deliver nutrients to the muscles to facilitate recovery. This is about the only cardiovascular activity that I generally recommend. Don't hesitate to use a heart rate monitor if necessary.

2. The next one involves the serotonin release upon ejaculation. We live in such a high stress society which places so many things on our mind that some people have problems falling asleep at night. This is a surefire cure as many of you are well aware of!

3. And, the final mechanism involves our favorite hormone, testosterone. It has been suggested that the average testosterone levels have dropped by approximately 30% over the past two decades due to environmental estrogens. Regular sex is one way to increase testosterone levels, but here's the catch: you must have sex with a partner and not yourself! (Sorry for the news, Mr. Stavrou!) That will, of course, prime the anabolic environment to prompt muscle gains and fat loss.

So, next time your wife says, "Not tonight", explain to her the importance of restoration!
