Is it true that masturbation kills gains? I'm a skinny shit

Yea, all the fat fucks simply don't masturbate.

>>42170088
You would have to dedicate your whole life to masturbation and do literally nothing else to it having any kind of negative muscle losing affect on you.

I'm not talking about fat. I'm talking about muscle gain.

>>42170113
What I read is that it makes your testosterone levels plummet for several days after you blow a load, making it harder to to exert yourself to breaking point and gain muscle.

>>42170088
I'll bite the bait.

No. Broscience aside, any effect is negligible, whether it is for positive or negative.

That said, keep it in moderation. A wank a day isn't going to ruin your progression. If you're going at it like, 10 times and after or before you are working out, then it could have a plausible effect, but I have yet to see or read any study done about any effect it has one way or another that was proven empirically.

What does kill gains is not eating enough or the right food, and not getting proper sleep and rest.

What does help muscle gains is working your muscles and eating properly and getting proper rest. The rest is up to you, your genetics and other outside factors.

It's fine, won't have any real effect on you.

Thanks guys, I may be a weeb but I've been working hard (and even read the sticky) so maybe one day I'll at least be a ripped weeb.

>>42170154
We're all gonna make it, weeb-brah.

No. I jack off my girlfriend's dick almost every night and my gains are fine.

Those guys lied. Yea it will kill gains, because ofnervous exhaustion. Ever lifted so hard your hands felt weak and shook for the rest of the day? Thats what happens when you overload your nervous system past its comfortable range. It makes you noticeably weaker for hiurs, days, or even weeks depending on severity.

Wanking does the same thing, especially if you blow your load. Fappng also releases a surge of dopamine, which is the neurotransmitter associated with movement and motivation. Desensitizing yourself to dopamine will also make you weak and lazy.

Don't fall for ridiculous internet memes. Sex, including masturbation, is part of a healthy life. If you need to whack it, go for it. There is not ONE SINGLE ripped dude who attributes anything to stopping masturbating.

Lift hard, eat, sleep. Lift harder next time, eat, sleep. That's the formula. Nowhere in there does it say to stop touching your dingaling.

Stopping masturbating is for monks and desperate basement autists trying to claw their way into a better life through memes. Don't make a shitty life even worse with misdirected discipline and restriction.

>>42170088
No but porn does, indirectly

>>42170088

I abstain because I realized that losing 45 minutes a night was absurd. Now I just get more shit done. Now I'm on day 200 and... shit, since late November, anyway. I stopped counting.

Not OP, though I'm aware at least your second paragraph holds some weight. Still, that's more related to overall motivation (which IS crippled by dopamine overloads on some individuals) rather than gains themselves.

For OP, there are no studies that really show long-term effects on testosterone for individuals that stop masturbating. There are other perks like energy and increased partner-seeking behavior (which leads to more 'perceived confidence'), but there are also benefits to fapping. An orgasm, for instance, decreases your levels of free cortisol by a large margin, something that could hinder your progress if your lifestyle is stressful.

Do it and see how it affects you.

Daily reminder porn is degenerate and fapping 2-3 times/week is best for physical and psychological gains
