Without Testosterone we wouldn’t have the Brooklyn Bridge, the iPad, or the 750 pound bench press. The USA may not have won World War 2 either, without high levels of testosterone.
You may never fight in a war, build a miraculous bridge, or invent the next technological gadget, but you can still increase your energy and achieve greater things by boosting your testosterone naturally:
Lift Weights– Use High Volume (Weights x Reps x Sets), Employ Moderate Rest Between Sets 1-2 Minutes, Choose Compound Free Weight Exercises like squats, deadlifts, and bench press.
Do High Intensity Interval Training
Eat Animal Proteins Like Beef and Eggs, Preferably Organic
Eat Nuts, Broccoli, Spinach, Cauliflower, Cabbage, Avocado, and Olive Oil
Sleep 7-8 Hours or More Per Night
Manage Stress– high levels of Cortisol, the stress hormone, will blunt your testosterone
Limit Caffeine Intake– this will benefit your sleep and decrease stress
Supplements- Vitamin D3, Fish Oils, Zinc, Magnesium
