I feel like you get exponentially more out of each sprint session after the 3rd or 4th. 8 is probably the perfect upper limit, as I imagine doing much more than that can start to trigger the cortisol response, which will of course result in testosterone inhibition. Really loving the HIIT though. I was a little skeptical at first, but a week or so in (this was a couple of months ago), I got this major libido spike about 20 minutes after a session. I was so skeptical, in fact, that I went and did another HIIT session a couple of hours later, and noticed a similar response thereafter. I may just be getting accustomed to a recovering libido at this point, with less downswings, but I dont seem to notice these dramatic spikes anymore, just a nice euphoria.
Also, you (and many others on this forum) are right about nofap. I dont care what the biological explanation/justification/lack thereof is or has to say,but the fact of the matter is that going at least 3 days between fapping (and I definitely recommend longer) consistently results in better libido/arousal/etc.
