In my personal experience, yes. And upon googling this excerpt explains why
“There's only so much blood in the body, and working out redistributes it away from the little general. When men exercise, they may temporarily experience shrinking testicles and a small penis, sometimes referred to as a gym dick. ... “It all has to do with blood flow,”
and that comes from this article here.
This Is Why Exercise Makes Your Penis Shrink
Exercise pumps blood from the heart towards the muscles and joints exerted themselves. The downside is this diverts blood away from the penis and testicles, making them temporarily appear smaller.

This is one of the things non bodybuilders say to stop their girlfriends getting interested in the guy with the muscles. “Oh sure, he looks great but he has a tiny dick”
Bodybuilders have the same range of penis size as other men. Some big, some small, most average.
But since bodybuilders work to keep their testosterone levels high, they tend to be very fond of sex.

No, it’s not true that bodybuilders have a small penis. A small penis is one of the three common sexual problems affecting couples. A large number of men were born with small and average penis sizes, and also a large number would love to increase their penis size if only they knew how to. So many areas of our lives we accept our imperfections but for men born with a small penile size the issue always re-occurs and this is a constant source of worry for such men.

THE SIZE OF PENIS OF BODYBUILDERS
It's possible to that have watched the performances of athletes weightlifters and bodybuilders, and noticed disproportionately modest contents of their underpants. Sometimes, a skinny teenager with acne has larger pronounced manhood than a huge and brutal male. "The bodybuilder with a small penis doesn't look very manly"- various bloggers come to this conclusion after numerous social surveys among women and men. |

IS THIS A TRICK OF SIGHT OR IS THE PENIS ACTUALLY SMALL?
There is an excuse that athletes use, such as: "The penis of an athlete looks tiny comparing to the large muscles". Allegedly, it's a visual perception and an optical deception. In fact, suspicions that weightlifters have a small penis, on one hand, are justified, since the eye sees everything and no matter how large is the athlete, the width of the pelvis is unchanged, and often, on the beach, a penis of a regular man looks much more impressive than a penis of a bodybuilder tanning under the sun. The fact of a small penis in representatives of weightlifting is noticed by society and as it usually happens, did not remain unnoticed by the "couch-potato" analytics, nor by the film industry. In general, among various groups of the population, appeared and possibly strengthened the opinion that bodybuilders have a problem with erection or a small penis. |

SO, WHAT IS THE DEAL WITH THE ATHLETE'S SIZE OF THE PENIS?
Actually, the bodybuilders and athletes have the same average-sized penis just like everyone else has. But, an athlete that is overly-active in sport, experiences lots of psychic and physiological stress, so the penis, as well as his libido, are in a stage of anabiosis or lethargic sleep. It's been known that the penis changes its size depending on the emotional stage, excitement, mood, or relaxation. In men that experience stress, according to physiological features, the penis is in its lowest state. Men that are always in super stress, are able to lose 10-20% of their penis size (it is because the penis is made of smooth muscles by 30-50%, which atrophy due to lack of demand), but just as well, they can return the lost in a short period of time (1-3 months), by getting rid of stress and returning to a full intimate life.
REASONS FOR THE EFFECT OF SMALL PENIS IN ATHLETES
STRESS: The penis changes its size depending on the emotional state, excitement, mood, and relaxation. In men who experience stress, the penis is in its smallest size and compressed state, according to physiological features. Men that are always in super stress, are able to lose 10-20% of their penis size (it is because the penis is made of smooth muscles by 30-50%, which atrophy due to lack of demand), but just as well, they can return the lost in a short period of time (1-3 months), by getting rid of stress and returning to a full intimate life. THE LOSS OF FAT LAYER: There is always a fat layer under the skin, including the skin of the penis. Bodybuilders that use the "drying" method, minimize the thickness of the fat layer in the penis. They are not always able to restore the previous volume of fat in the skin of the penis, because during the next weight gain, there may be a "redistribution of fat deposits" and under the effects of estrogens, if they used steroids before, the fat may appear in the lumbar region, chest and abdomen. Although, during the "drying" method (decrease of overall fat percentage), the penis may appear to be longer due to the burning of the fat layer in the pubic area. But, since during the emergency weight loss, the erection is not at its best, this visual lengthening may not be noticed. |

STEROIDS: the use of anabolic steroids is the hormone replacement therapy, during which, natural testosterone stops producing, the level of luteinizing hormone is lowered, spermatogenesis is disrupted, and testicles become several times smaller (testicular atrophy). The visual size of the penis in pants is caused not only by the penis, but testicles as well. A decrease of testicle size noticeably conceals the volume of the penis under the clothing. When using lots of steroids, aromatization often occurs (conversion of testosterone into the female hormone – the estrogen) and this effect is accompanied by gynecomastia (breast enlargement). OUTFLOW OF BLOOD FROM THE PENIS DUE TO WORKOUTS: if you practiced high-intensity workouts, you must have felt how the penis literally squeezes during a heavy workout. And, after completion of the workout, the penis might not restore its volume for a long time. After a high-intensity workout, the penis might look almost lifeless and even become cold to touch. Because of high intensity, the blood flows to the muscles that are trained, but outflows from other places. It affects the penis as well. |

The Scientific Reason Exercise Gives You a Small Penis
There's only so much blood in the body, and working out redistributes it away from the little general.
When men exercise, they may temporarily experience shrinking testicles and a small penis, sometimes referred to as a gym dick. Don’t fear: A slightly smaller penis is a short-term effect. And although it may not make locker rooms any more comfortable, gym dick is nothing to be concerned about. Plus, any testicle or penis shrinkage occurs evenly, maintaining normal proportions, which science says is the main indicator of an attractive penis. Still, the question remains: Why does working out make your penis small?

“It all has to do with blood flow,” Richard Honaker, MD, chief medical officer at Your Doctors Online, tells Fatherly. “When working out, the body sends blood to the muscles and joints, thus reducing the amount to the penis and scrotum. There is nothing to worry about and nothing to do to prevent it.”
Now, news that exercise temporarily shrinks your package should not incentivize a sedentary lifestyle — and that’s not just because your overall health should be a greater priority than the size of your penis. Jamin Brahmbhatt, MD, a urologist at the University of Central Florida College of Medicine, says that men who don’t exercise tend to develop a fat pad over their penises. That can take years of hard work to get rid of — far longer to get rid of than any residual loss of length from vigorous exercise.

In the long run, exercise could, in an indirect way, make your penis larger. “I always tell my patients that for every 10 pounds you lose, you could see another inch of your penis,” Brahmbhatt told Fatherly.
The more fit a man is, the more efficiently blood moves throughout his body and the less he’ll notice any changes in penis size as a result of physical activity, Brahmbhatt adds. So if your penis and testicles are shrinking during workouts, it might be a sign that you’re not hitting the gym often enough.
And for men who work out regularly and still experience gym dick, what you lose in temporary size, you gain in stamina and cardiovascular health. “The stronger your heart, the stronger your erections,” Brahmbhatt says.
The use of Bathmate by the athletes to maintain a sexual system is able to solve the problem of reducing the size of the penis from high-intensity workouts and stress.The athletes that use steroids may not simply smooth out the effect of a decrease of the penis, but on a contrary, stimulate the penis to growth, because the hormonal therapy is able to increase the effect of penis growth from LNP-therapy.
Bodybuilding is the process of transforming the body through physical training. A strong, manly, beautiful body is one of the main goals in bodybuilding.
Why many bodybuilders don't pay attention to the development of sexual organ is the mystery, after all, the penis is the main symbol of male power.Many athletes don't know that the penis, just like any other part of the body, can be trained and brought to full combat readiness. The athletes that once turned to us, to support the potency with Bathmate, became our regular customers and claim that "penis building", just like bodybuilding, became a part of their lives.

The reason why most pro- bodybuilders have a rather "small" sized penis is due to their massive frame. They develop their muscles excluding that of their penis. So it appears they have a small sized penis relative to their large frame.
An erect dick of 9 inches Will appear normal on a pro body-builder but can look quite monstrous on a guy with average body size.
A pro body-builder can take anabolic steroids without harming his testicles( Steroid cycle). But will need close monitoring with his doctor. It is a long time abuse of steroids that causes testicular shrinkage and finally infertility.
Nutritional supplements (whey and creatine powder) don't cause shrinkage of the penis
