20.01.2022 TESTOSTERONE - Everything you need to know!! (Part 1) Testosterone is vital for building and maintaining muscle mass. But this vital sex hormone is necessary for so much more than just bulking up. Testosterone is a critical biological element that all men (and to a lesser degree, women) need in order to stay healthy and vibrant!! To put it simply, testosterone is the essence of maleness. It’s the fundamental life force that makes a man a man, and the driving energy that keeps... us guys fit, strong, and virile. Without it, we simply wouldn’t exist (at least not as men, anyway). TESTOSTERONE PRODUCTION While our bodies are designed to produce testosterone and maintain it at optimal levels, there are many factors that can interfere with this natural testosterone production process. Exposure to toxins, poor diet, stress, and aging are among the most common. These factors directly inhibit the body’s production of testosterone and various other male hormones, which we collectively refer to as androgens. If left unchecked, this androgenic decline can lead to all sorts of health problems for men. This is why it’s so important to adopt healthy lifestyle habits that counteract the decline of natural testosterone and other hormones. WHERE DOES NATURAL TESTOSTERONE COME FROM? Like with many other steroid hormones, testosterone production begins in the hypothalamus, a tiny region of the forebrain that stimulates many important processes throughout the body. Whenever it detects that the body needs more testosterone to perform a given job, the hypothalamus ramps up production by secreting what’s known as gonadotropin-releasing hormone, or GnRH. This GnRH travels to the back of the brain where it encounters the pituitary gland, which uses it to produce two additional hormones: 1) Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) 2) Luteinizing hormone (LH) Both FSH and LH then make their way down to the testes via the bloodstream where they are used to manufacture both sperm and free testosterone. One particularly interesting fact about testosterone is that the primary substance our bodies use to make testosterone is one that often gets a bad rap in mainstream medical circles: CHOLESTEROL!! The primary building block of testosterone cholesterol is what the Leydig cells in a man’s testicles rely on (along with LH) to synthesize testosterone production. WHAT DOES TESTOSTERONE DO? Once generated, this testosterone re-enters the bloodstream in free form where the body is able to use it for many important tasks including to: 1) Build strong bones 2) Create lean muscle mass 3) Strengthen the heart 4) Generate new blood cells 5) Testosterone is also where manly characteristics like boldness, assertiveness, and competitiveness originate not to mention the ever-present sexual drive that characterizes healthy manhood. See our next post to see if you have any of the common symptoms of low testosterone!!!!

13.01.2022 COMMON FITNESS MISTAKES EMPHASIZING QUANTITY OVER QUALITY Just putting in a certain amount of time at the gym will not guarantee weight loss results!! The time you spend exercising must be quality time. What guarantees results is using your time efficiently and that means three things: ... 1) training smart a well-designed program is key 2) training hard, which we could call intensity, and 3) training progressively - CONSTANTLY push out of your comfort zone to stress the body to generate results!! 4) Don't exercise longer than 1 hour as after this the hormone CORTISOL builds up - which breaks down muscles - undoing all the good work you have just done!!

13.01.2022 HOW TO STAY HEALTHY AND STRONG IN 2018 CHANGE UP YOUR ROUTINE!! If you want to make progress, sometimes you have to change things up. ... Ensure your body never gets adapted to what's coming next, as once that happens, you may notice diminishing strength gain results. To avoid this possibility, switch up how heavy you’re lifting, your tempo of an exercise, your rep/set count, or what time of the day you’re lifting. Also try to add in different exercises to overload those muscles!!!
12.01.2022 TESTOSTERONE - Everything you need to know (Part 3) HOW CAN YOU BOOST TESTOSTERONE IN MEN? Aside from hormone replacement therapy (HRT), there really isn’t much else being offered conventionally to testosterone-deficient men that will actually help them recover. While HRT may be appropriate in certain cases, it’s often used as a band-aid to simply cover up the symptoms of low testosterone without actually getting to the root of the problem. It also typically involves the use... of synthetic testosterone compounds, which can be questionable in terms of their safety. Another problem is the way that symptoms of low testosterone (especially those that affect a man’s behavior and personality) are sometimes misjudged as character flaws that men need to just man up and face. Testosterone functions as the energy force to give a man the confidence and wherewithal to face tough situations in the first place. As a result, being deficient in natural testosterone means that a man isn’t necessarily capable of performing what society demands of him, and thus needs help. If you’re seriously deficient in testosterone, bioidentical HRT under the strict guidance of a properly trained physician may be a good starting point. Otherwise it mostly boils down to these three things: 1) DIET 2) EXERCISE 3) SLEEP If you can purpose to discipline yourself to address each of these things with clarity and resolve, you’ll already be well on your way to achieving more energy, less body fat, more muscle, and perhaps the biggest motivating factor: a robust sex drive. EVEN if you don’t currently have low natural testosterone levels, it’s still critically important to eat right, stay active, and get plenty of rest in order to avoid developing it at some point down the road. Even if you don’t think you have low testosterone, it’s still a good idea to follow the steps IN OUR NEXT POST!!!
12.01.2022 COMMON MALE FITNESS MISTAKES 1) NOT DOING COMPOUND EXERCISES!! Do you train only one muscle group at a time? Don’t!

Basics like the Bench Press, Squats, Deadlifts, Pull ups, Dips and Rows should be staples in your workout program.

06.01.2022 TESTOSTERONE - Everything you need to know (Part 2) COMMON SYMPTOMS OF LOW TESTOSTERONE IN MEN!! In a perfect world, optimal natural testosterone production in men would happen all on its own. Every man would eat a healthy diet at all times, get adequate rest, drink plenty of clean water, exercise regularly, and never be stressed, encounter toxins, or grow older. In this ideal scenario a man would never have to think twice about his hormones because they’d be virtually flawle...ss. Unfortunately, the world is far from perfect. And the reality, truth be told, is that natural testosterone production is under massive assault on many fronts. Low testosterone in men is more common today than it’s probably ever been. Many men’s bodies simply can’t keep up with their testosterone needs. Or when they can, too much of this testosterone ends up being converted to non-usable forms of testosterone, or worse: it’s converted to estrogen. The result is that many men end up suffering from various degrees and symptoms of low testosterone. WHAT ARE THE SIGNS OF LOW TESTOSTERONE? 1) Lack of energy 2) Moodiness and irritability 3) Depression 4) Brain fog 5) Muscle atrophy 6) Obesity 7) Loss of libido As disastrous as these health consequences are, if left unchecked they can eventually give way to even worse symptoms that develop into serious chronic illness. We’re talking things that a typical man’s man absolutely dreads such as: 1) Cardiovascular events 2) Dementia 3) Infertility 4) Gynecomastia (aka man boobs) These and other advanced-stage symptoms of low natural testosterone are becoming all too common in our modern world, and yet viable options for men who suffer from these symptoms are few and far between!! See our next post in this series on how you can boost testosterone levels!!

05.01.2022 EXHAUST FOR ENDURANCE To further your endurance training, you need to put in total effort. You’re going for muscle exhaustion, so remember to fully exhaust the muscles! How can you do that? Get good at the bodyweight staplespullups, chinups, pushups, inverted rows, (and) squats. If you can master these movements for high reps, your muscles will get well-conditioned.... Try ending each set with 10 reps of the relevant bodyweight exercise to push that overload!!

02.01.2022 TESTOSTERONE - HOW TO BOOST IT NATURALLY!! In our final part we look at natural ways to boost your testosterone levels!! #1: EAT MORE SATURATED FAT, CHOLESTEROL, VEGGIES AND NUTS! Contrary to what you may have heard in the news or from your doctor, saturated fat and cholesterol aren’t your enemies. In fact, many foods rich in these two substances that popular culture has deemed as unhealthy eggs, red meat, and butter, for instance are some of the most nutritious and andro...gen-friendly foods you can feed your body. (The caveat here is that these animal products need to be from pastured animals that are free from hormones, antibiotics, and free range) Studies suggest that avoiding saturated fat and cholesterol can actually damage testosterone production and lead to deficiency. Vegetarians are likely candidates for this, as the standard vegetarian diet is typically lacking in both of these vital dietary elements. Nuts, cruciferous vegetables, and leafy greens are all extremely beneficial in helping to boost testosterone levels. #2: COMBINE CLEAN PROTEIN WITH RESISTANCE EXERCISE If testosterone is the engine that gets muscle production going, protein is the fuel. The two definitely go hand in hand when it comes to building anabolic strength, and studies suggest that consuming clean protein bearing the full spectrum of essential amino acids whey protein is a great example of this may help to boost testosterone levels when combined with resistance exercise. Science shows that testosterone levels in men tend to reach their PEAK about 30 minutes AFTER THEY EXERCISE! A solid training approach that can help to maximize these peak levels includes working large muscle groups using compound movements rather than isolation exercises. For example, lifting heavy weights in sets of six with between 6-8 repetitions each; and resting for no longer than about one minute between each set of exercises. #3: GET AT LEAST 5 HOURS OF RESTFUL SLEEP PER NIGHT Letting your body rest is critical both for muscle building and testosterone production. Not only does restful sleep help your body to manage and overcome stress including by minimizing stress hormones like cortisol that wreak havoc on testosterone but it also helps your body to produce more testosterone. Researchers from the University of Chicago found that young men who get less than five hours of restful sleep per night have up to 15% less testosterone in their bodies than their well-rested counterparts. #4: AVOID XENOESTROGENS AND TAKE NATURAL VITAMINS AND SUPPLEMENTS Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDC) are everywhere these days. Plastics, pesticides, and personal care products are loaded with them - SO TRY sticking with natural alternatives. Supplementing with testosterone-supportive trace minerals like zinc, selenium, and B vitamins, as well as herbs like tribulus terristris and stinging nettle, can help to counteract these effects and give your body that little extra androgen boost.
