I have heard none for weeks and I've heard 3-4 a day until the day before a bout then none on the day?
no guys its actually true.. i know what your understandin by it but it does affect your performance (focus) .. i was in the gym with these 2 pro fighters and their coach told them no sex until the end of the fight.. and yes i did burst out laughing then they explained
What exactly are the supposed effects? You're going to have to explain why somebody is going to lose a fight because they had sex. Try it. Have sex a day or two before you spar or have a match and see how your performance in the ring won't be affected at all. It's another boxing myth.
Im going to be honest and say i don't know much, they said it has somethin to do with the testosterone instead of takin testosterone pills
Maybe this will help. The night before my first taste of a REAL Ultra, I had sex with my ex and slept maybe 4 hours on top of doing really half ass 5 weeks of training because I didn't take it seriously enough. My diet was **** as well. Turned out to be in the mid 90's with heavy humidity. I dropped at mile 31 in 6:30 hours. Point is, Dial in your nutrition, training, sleep and recovery and you will be fine. It all starts in the mind so if you think it will affect you, it will. The course was the 2011 Dances With Dirt Devil's Lake 50 Mile Ultra I plan on winning it this year.
So it's gone from focus to hormone levels... :huh Don't believe everything you're told. Do your own research on the net, books, people, studies, whatever then decide whether you believe something or not. Believing something because somebody told you it's true can make you look stupid and doesn't help you at all.
