Testosterone is essential in the muscle building process. Many things affect the production of testosterone. Experts at Harvard Medical School write "physical inactivity and poor diet promote obesity and create poor metabolic health that disrupt sensitive hormone systems that process carbohydrates, fats and proteins: and regulate signaling chemicals that build bone and muscle mass". Testosterone levels correspond to muscle growth. Larger muscles, strength, sex drive, endurance and body fat levels decreasing are attributed to higher testosterone levels. The "bad" cholesterol levels also drop with higher testosterone levels.
Planning your day and doing things you enjoy lowers your stress level. Stress causes manufacturing of cortisol, a fat storing hormone. Being upbeat and optimistic with a positive attitude will keep the cortisol machine quiet.
Anabolics as defined in the Medical Dictionary are: any of a group of synthetic derivatives of testosterone which are used clinically to promote growth and repair of body tissues in senility, debilitating illness and convalescence. The bodybuilding world uses them for much the same thing.
Estrogen levels rise with the introduction of soy products into the body. This causes a corresponding decrease in testosterone levels. Alcohol also lowers testosterone levels and decreases protein synthesis.
Stress increases cortisol levels. Cortisol in instrumental in storing fat and lowering testosterone levels. Stress reduction needs to be addressed in any exercise program. Thinking like a winner, maintaining a positive outlook, performing activities you enjoy, having your schedule planned out and maintaining a positive attitude will aid in reducing stress levels. Overtraining and lack of sleep will also have a deleterious effect on testosterone levels. Losing weight if you are overweight is essential for testosterone production.
Using compound exercises in the gym, e.g. squats, deadlifts, bench press, lunges, dips, rows, pullups, leg presses and standing military presses. These all incorporate multiple muscle groups.
Compound exercises such as squats, deadlifts, bench press, pull-ups and dips are best for overall growth. This will help in the testosterone production process also. Train hard, not long and keep track of your workouts. That way you can see what is working and what is not.
Alcohol decreases protein synthesis, causes dehydration, depletes vitamins and minerals and lowers testosterone. Soy is another product that lowers testosterone levels as it raises estrogen levels.
Testosterone levels naturally decline around age 35 approximately. A good diet, adequate sleep and keeping stress at a minimum are things you can do to help testosterone productivity.
To maximize your results in the gym keep your testosterone levels high. I have touched on just a few things you can implement in your day to day routine to get the most out of your body.
