6 Tactics To Naturally Increase Testosterone

// THREAD //
We live in a pandemic of low testosterone men.

Symptoms of low testosterone include

- reduced sex drive
- increased fatigue
- loss of muscle mass
- increased body fat
- reduced erectile function

Here are 6 tactics you can use to supercharge your testosterone levels 👇
#1: Lift Weights 🏋️‍♂️

Although all forms of exercise increase testosterone, resistance training is shown to be the most effective type of exercise.

Lift weights. Build muscle. More testosterone.

#2: Sun Exposure ☀️

Almost half of the US population is deficient in Vitamin D.

Studies have shown a strong correlation between individuals with deficient Vitamin D and low testosterone levels.

Get in the sun more or consider supplementing Vitamin D.

#3: Decrease Stress 🙏

More stress = more catabolic = decreased testosterone

Consider stress-reducing activities

- Exercise
- Meditate
- Journaling
- Walks in nature
- Reduce caffeine intake

#4: Prioritize Sleep 😴

Studies have shown that for every additional hour of sleep you get, testosterone may increase ~ 15% on average.

7-9 hours of sleep is optimal.

#5: Optimal Body Composition 💪

Research shows that overfeeding along with underfeeding results in lower testosterone.

Too high body fat = lower testosterone

Too low body fat = lower testosterone

10-15% BF tends to be an optimal range for men

#6: Minimize Drug & Alcohol Use 🚫

Alcohol significantly affects testosterone levels.

Men with normal testosterone levels were found to experience a significant drop in testosterone after alcohol administration.

High Testosterone = Higher Quality of Life

Apply these tactics to optimize testosterone levels.

(Skinny Fat 👉 6-Pack)

// THREAD //
I can remember being frustrated with my skinny fat body.

I had noodle arms that couldn't fill out t-shirts.

And I had a flabby belly that made me insecure to take off my shirt.

BUT, eventually, I found the cure 👇
THE GOAL

Eliminate the skinny fat body.

In order to do this, we need to

1) Gain muscle 💪
2) Lose fat 📉

Here's how we make this happen 👇

Does Alcohol KILL Gains?

// THREAD //
So what happens when our body processes alcohol?

Alcohol actually impairs muscle protein synthesis (MPS).

Why does this matter?

MPS (pro muscle growth) is one side of the teeter-totter and muscle protein breakdown or MPB (anti muscle growth) is the other.
If MPB is greater than MPS, then you lose muscle.

But if MPS is greater than MPB, you grow muscle.

So in other words, alcohol can be considered anti-muscle growth.

BUT, we're not just gonna stop drinking...

So here's how to approach drinking to STILL grow muscle:

Why You're Still Fat

(Required homework if you ever wish to be lean)

// THREAD // Image
Why can't you lose fat?

Let's put it like this...

If you don't enjoy something you'll want it to end.

People who hate their jobs → eager to retire.

People who hate their marriages → eager to get divorced.

People who hate their diets → eager for them to end.
1) You need to eat foods you enjoy.

Ask yourself this simple question:

"Would I enjoy eating this if I was already lean?"

If the answer is yes, eat it while you're still fat.

Make it fit your nutrition goals, and you'll suddenly enjoy getting lean. Image
