I was just talking to a guy that was in my city's weightlifting team. He
told me that when the athletes were scheduled for a heavy duty workout, the
coach would send them to have sex with a hooker, paid by the team. Right
after that (45-60 minutes) they would go to the gym.
They were drugging their feet and the coach would push them to their limits.
This was supposed to be an effective workout.
Now, from what I read, the maximum benefit is when you reach the point of
mementary failure i.e. you push for one more rep when you cannot lift any
more. Now, if you are strong and have plenty of rest, you have to do more
sets, more reps, heavier weights to reach this point. If you are already
tired, you can easily reach this point. Is this the reason they did it? Or
it has to do with testosterone release?
