How does masturbating affect lifting?

In my personal experience, there isn't any actual physical changes, it's all mental.

When I am sexually frustrated, or really, frustrated in any manner, I push myself harder, in my mind I'm yelling at myself to just do a few more. When I'm content I hit my standard reps or maybe +1 and think to myself that it's good enough.

No connection

Don't beat off before you lift tho cuz it'll make u sleepy

I noticed the same. Not jerking off for >1 week makes me better at lifting: heavier weights and more energy, even on a cut.

Find what works for you.

Probably mental. Tons of times I beat it prewo and had a great gym session

Possible minimal effect if are spanking it a mere minutes before lifting.
Not sure how long you have been lifting, but one of the most important things is listening to your body. If you feel depleted afterwards when hitting the gym then wait for your happy time until after.

There is some slight mental difference if you jack off right before lifting

Lift. No jerking off. It is a real connection because it's in your head.

You are getting complacent and you know it. Live up to your standards. You better not be asking that question to make yourself FEEL better. If you want a hamster go buy one at the pet store.
