Is it fine if I'm masturbating twice a week while I'm also working out pretty intensely? I'm a bit worried if this could have any impact on my muscle gains.

Yes, masturbating twice a week is perfectly normal and won't affect your muscle gains. Intense workouts and muscle growth depend on proper nutrition, rest, and consistent training. As long as you're maintaining these, occasional masturbation has no significant impact on your fitness progress.
