Does anyone know if there are any updated studies on this stuff? Mostly out of curiosity.
The reason I ask is because I switched back to my work schedule of A/B days. Basically squat and deadlift day, with the other compounds plugged in evenly.
My sex drive isn't lacking, really only when I get sick does it drop off at all. But it's been in over drive lately to the point it's annoying, I can only guess that the new routine coupled with spring time is causing my body to produce more of the fun stuff.
It was deadlift day the other day, followed by Bench and BB Rows, and then Chinups and Landmine Presses for higher reps. I have been doing a PPL routine since the fall prior to switching over recently. Trimmed the fat, I need more time efficient workouts less days per week through the summer.
I woke up in the middle of the night that night, and had to get laid, like right now. Normally I can just go back to sleep whens stuff like that happens. My wife was less than impressed, she likes her sleep, and this seems to be occurring a few nights a week now (anecdotally, the nights after a workout 99% of the time)
So a lot of studies point to acute spikes in hormones shortly after workouts, what happens after these spikes? Just saying that it spikes also implies that it drops off pretty quickly, can they be utilized at all, or is it just a nice little side effect to make you feel good for awhile? Is there any recent info about what is actually happening? Again, mostly of of curiosity.
