    Today I went working out to the gym after doing biceps, triceps, and forearms yesterday. Upon doing some back exercises and leg press, I immediately noticed a difference in my strength and/or willpower to do the lifts. On the previous leg/back day I'd gone full mode and done double plates with 25 lbs. on each side, and was even considering going for a set of triple plates on each side. But today it felt much different, probably due to MOing yesterday (no porn though). Now that I'm more aware due to recovering for longer, and now that I'm lifting heavy things again at the gym, I can very clearly see the negative effects that masturbation has on one's athletic and mental performance. It will very likely be a good reason for me to quit this time.

    P.S. In the case I put this post in the wrong forum I apologize. I hope that this is the right one.

    Hey man,

    It's cool that you notice those effects, I think self awareness is very important. In my case, I have definitely noticed reduced stamina or power after relapsing to M consciously (I don't count wet dreams). I'm not sure if it's really physical or just a mental/willpower issue.

    I train at home and am currently increasing the intensity within the workouts and throughout the week. You seem to be more advanced in this aspect.

    As long as you continuously learn from those slips and internalize the changes you need I'm sure you will succeed. Keep up the good work!

    Thanks for the reply.
    I also don't really know whether it's a physical or mental thing. All I know is that it's there. As long as I keep myself occupied throughout the day however I should have no issue staying away from these sorts of things.
