Welcome Maikel! Yes, those days when you have time on your hands can be hard, so stay strong.
Tips? How about this instead:
You do powerlifting right? Remember a time when you couldn't lift the weight that you're lifting now? Remember seeing that other person lifting weights that dropped your jaw? So you trained hard. Your sore body screaming at you "stop it! You don't need to lift this much!" But you persevered and got to where you are now. And you know you want to push further.
Don't forget that feeling of hard work and achievement. Don't forget that drive.
I think this is something that I don't exploit as much as I should, but it's very helpful; training and sports can be applied to every day things and they can be very useful. Thx for the tip!

Welcome Maikel,
One question... is workout harder for you when you're on hangover - after PMOing the day before - ?
I've noticed that, at least in my case, it really becomes hard. Not only because of the lack of motivation that sometimes comes along after PMOing the day before, but physically too.
Good luck on your journey man. You're not alone in this.
For me I actually don't think it's such a big deal for my phisycal state, I think it's more mental and motivational. But if I have to lift big weights on that day I would do it anyway, maybe if I didn't PMO I would be more motivated during the workout, with less resting time between sets and with a bigger desire to lift the weights.
What may be an issue is that during he weeks when there is real hard training (lifting heavy weigths, like sets of 1, 2 or 3 reps of your max, fries your central nervous system) if you add up to the weights the PMOing you may get really exhausted. But the thing is that during this weeks i usually have problems sleeping asswell, and PMOing may be the easy way to get some rest. During these weeks of heavy training if you add the tiredness with what PMOing does to your social skills I end up not wanting to talk to anybody :[
But anyway, the other day I was watching a documentary about Mike Tyson and he said that his routine was
training and then jerk off every day (when he was young and unknown). So I don't think that it did affect his training potencial much, who knows. But what about his social skills?

Don't think too much. Just do it. Easy as can be.

In my case too. I'm wondering, how I could even lift all the time. It's a whole different feeling now. And my strength is going up as well. Stopping PMO broke a plateau of mine. Placebo or not - the iron is real.
Thanks for the answer, will try to do it! About the training I think without PMOing you can be much more motivated and energized, which in the end will boost up your training.
