From the dawn of mankind, every lifter has asked themselves the same question: “Does masturbation affect my gains?”.
You may have heard a gym bro telling you not to fap if you’re serious about maximizing muscle growth, or maybe you’ve read an online article claiming masturbation does not affect muscle growth at all. So, which one is right?
Today, we’re finally answering this hard question, once and for all.
Where does the theory come from?
The belief around the internet is that masturbation lowers your testosterone, negatively impacting your gains. If you’re not familiar with testosterone, it’s an androgenic hormone that plays a vital role in the development of male characteristics in the body and plays an important role in muscle protein synthesis, especially after a workout. By having lower testosterone levels, you may be missing out on some precious muscle gains.

Basic Beauty Tips You Must Learn
Everyone has a different definition of beauty, but most would agree that feeling attractive is one of the best ways to increase self-esteem. If you feel beautiful and confident, it will show and be truly infectious. Let your inner beauty come out by reading the tips in this article!
The scientific definition of beauty is symmetry. If you are looking for beauty, then you want to try to maintain symmetry. Make your makeup, beard and mustache identical and symmetrical on both the right and left sides.
Beauty is usually in the eye of the beholder. It can be found in nearly everything. You may think someone is beautiful or simply that nature is beautiful! Your heart will be happy if you search for beauty. Those who find beauty in many things tend to be most successful.
Give coconut oil a try, instead of spending a lot of money on a expensive moisturizer. Coconut oil will help reduce wrinkles and provides moisture to your skin. Coconut oil is also an effective treatment for a variety of skin conditions, including acne, eczema and psoriasis.
To help your eyeliner last all day, apply a thin layer of eyeshadow in a matching color over the top of it. Most eyeliners have a tendency to fade or run throughout the day. This is particularly true for oil-based eyeliner pencils. You can eliminate this problem by brushing a layer of matching eyeshadow directly over the top of the eyeliner using a thin makeup brush. This helps to set it so it stays in place all day.
You do not need to spend a lot of money on a fancy deep conditioning mask. There are many recipes you can make at home that include foods filled with nutrients that are great for your hair. A great one includes mashed strawberries and enough mayonnaise to make a spreadable paste. Leave it in your wet hair for 10 minutes and rinse.
Eating healthy foods is essential for healthy hair, skin and nails. Beauty is rooted in the inside. If you strive for a nutritious daily diet, it will show in all aspects of your physical exterior. Consume a wide variety of whole grains, protein, zinc, and iron to obtain healthy hair, nails, and skin.
Shadow and liner can do wonders to make your eyes sexy and striking, but it will all be for nothing if your eyes are red. To help with red eyes, keep eye drops handy no matter where you are. You can use these drops anytime your eyes feel a little dry and tired, due to environmental factors or lack of sleep.
Instead of applying false eyelashes that may fall off sometime during the day, use an eyelash curler. An eyelash curler will curl your lashes upwards and away from the eye, making your eyes appear bigger. Make sure you use the curler before applying mascara, or you’ll have to reapply it.
Apply cream to your eyes every night. The skin around your eyes is delicate, and not as thick as the skin elsewhere on your face. This makes the skin around your eyes more prone to be lined and dry. Keeping the skin moist is a simple solution to that beauty problem.
To prevent buildup on your hair, use a clarifying shampoo once a week. Over time, residue from styling products and conditioner can build up on your hair, leaving it dull and lifeless. Using a clarifying shampoo at least once a week can remove this buildup, leaving your hair shiny, bouncy and full of life.
Do not forget your hands need to be pampered too. Hands are often overlooked in beauty treatments. That is why it is said, if you want to know someones age, check their hands. In addition to daily treatment with lotion or cream, you should exfoliate your hands once a week.
Here is a beauty tip! Warm your concealer before using it! Often when you put concealer on it can come off looking thick and caked. You have to know how to conceal your concealer. First warm it by rubbing it in circular motion on the back of your hand! Then use your finger to apply.
The simplest and absolute cheapest way to reduce morning eye puffiness is using wet cotton balls thatbyou have put in the refrigerator! Simply soak the cotton balls under a running faucet, or use bottled water if your tap contains a lot of chlorine, pop them in a plastic bag and store them in the fridge. Come morning when your eyes are half closed and puffy, those cold cotton balls will work instant magic!
Using concealer is only half the battle when looking your best and fixing flaws. To have a perfect complexion, try using a lipstick in a warm pink. According to leading makeup artists, no matter what your skin type or tone, warm pink will distract people’s eyes from any imperfections and blemishes and keep you looking your best.
If you suffer from chronic, dry skin, you may want to see a dermatologist and get a microdermabrasion facial peel. Microdermabrasions are able to improve skin’s functioning and appearance in a very short amount of time. One treatment will help your skin to feel smoother and will improve your skin’s elasticity. Although one treatment helps, for the best results you should schedule at least 6 treatments.
If you have woken up with splotchy, irritated or puffy skin, then look to tea bags for a cure. No, not for drinking in this case, but to dab on the problem areas. Use a tea bag of green tea that has been steeped for a minute or two and cooled. You then dab it on your face, and let the natural antioxidants in the tea reduce the inflammation.
You don’t have to be a supermodel or a makeup artist to look and feel beautiful. Ultimately, if you feel good about yourself, it will show and that’s the most beautiful thing you can do. Just remember the tips in this article and you’ll be on your way to feeling confident and beautiful.
