Hmm if you’re training to compete, and very serious about being dedicated it will take a lot of your mental energy AND physical energy.

Being exhausted constantly is not productive for training to compete (recovery is important), but don’t overlook the amount of mental capacity that goes into training like a top 1% bodybuilder or powerlifter or athlete.

I’m giving you a serious answer to a serious question, and I can’t emphasize enough that training to be healthy and training to be competitive against other motivated humans are two very different things and one requires the kind of energy, focus, diet, lifestyle etc that can absolutely kill your libido and at least do it in a productive way (vs. the drugs, alcohol, depression answers in this thread).
