Does masturbation affect muscle growth?

[Vittorio-]

I know this is an awkward question to some people, but we're all teenagers with raging hormones. Who else am I gonna ask? My parents? No

So lets say I do this twice a day, sometimes 2 times immediately after another (it doesnt go down), would this affect how fast I grow?

Im asking because ive been doing extremely light stuff cus i cant afford heavier dumbells for about 9 months, but I have had hardly no improvement. I eat lots of cals and protein a day, but cus of my genes I dont put on fat anyway. Im talking about 3000 cals a day, and for my weight thats a lot.

I work out 3 times a week. Any advice on how I could improve? I still consider myself retarded in this stuff.

U should not do it!!! Every time you do it takes ALL testosterone out of your body. Thats why your not gaining. I have done it in 9 months and ive got BIG and RIPPED.





INIT!


Just kiddin m8 its fine.


Your not gaining beacuse your not eating enough. At 6ft 130lb you should be eating like 4000 calories per day. Get like 180+ g of protein and remeber to eat alot after you workout.

[SpoofRocket]

It shouldnt. Studies have shown that it does lower your natural testosterone a little but not enough to effect anything.

your not burning tons of calories jacking your little junk.

sitting + jacking off = nothing but a happy ending.

"Masturbation reduces your testosterone levels so you cant build muscle"

"Masturbation depletes you protein reserves so you cant build muscle"

"Masturbation will cause one arm to disproportionately large and muscular"

Surprisingly I have gotten many questions about this subject otherwise it would have never occurred to me to include this but apparently there are many myths about bodybuilding and masturbation. Lets take the first one, "Masturbation reduces your testosterone levels so you cant build muscle". Sex drive is a result of testosterone, not the other way around. There has never been a study which even hinted that masturbation might reduce testosterone levels. Lets take the second one "Masturbation depletes you protein reserves so you cant build muscle". OK, this is just ridiculous. Think about the amount of protein that leaves the body during masturbation, maybe 5g, and compare that to the daily protein intake of a bodybuilder which is approx 200g. Another way to think about this, if this were true it would mean that no elite athletes would ever be allowed to have sex. With all the money in pro sports, you can be sure that if there were any truth at all to this that coaches across the country would demand total abstinence from all their team members. The grain of truth that probably got these myths started comes from the fact that typically after release, the person is very relaxed/tired. I have also heard people say that various other trace elements, like zinc for example, are expelled from the body during release which just does not make sense. Why would evolution favor a someone who routinely got rid of essential trace elements and make himself weak doing it? High testosterone levels correspond with high fertility and increased sexual activity, it makes no evolutionary sense whatsoever that this sexual activity would weaken the body because the evolutionary goal is to produce as many strong offspring as possible.

Now what about this myth, "Masturbation will cause one arm to disproportionately large and muscular". We all know how difficult it is to build muscle. If it were that easy to build arm muscles then everybody who wanted big Popeye-like arms would have them. If your arms are different sizes, masturbation is not the reason. Very few people are symmetrical and it natural for their dominant arm to be larger, nothing you do for a few minutes a day will have any affect on the size of your arms.
