No graphic discussion, please; I'd like to stay within the user guidelines.

I was wondering if any of you change your "routine" when you train. I know some guys abstain, others like to combine activities, and others don't care one way or another. Any preferences, and if so, why?

Only as good as I make myself be, only as bad as I let myself be.

What I've heard is that the lack will build up testosterone and aggression. I seem to recall seeing a show that talked about this and they said they couldn't prove or disprove it. Personally, I don't think it would make enough of a difference to worry about it.

Well, the Spartans were really into it (although they were also into infanticide and other unpleasant things), whereas the Romans (I believe) did not like their soldiers having um, 'intimate encounters of the first kind' before battle because they thought that it weakened a man.

I however know of no evidence saying anything one way or the other, so might as well have your cake and eat it too.

It doesn't matter to me. No change. As for those who abstain, that's their business, but if I would have to abstain from one or the other...well...the answer is obvious. There, I think I said what I have to say without breaking the guideline rule...at least I hope that I did :)

From experience, I've found that if I haven't... You know.. I'm alot tenser and less agile (whether in a fight situation or spar)... Plus, there is nothing more painful than getting hit in the groin.. with... a full tank... I speak from experience!

Yes, avoiding certain activities can increase crankiness, but but also decreases focus.

In studies they've shown that it really has not effect.
