I keep seeing this parroted everywhere EVERYWHERE. Also no one who parrots this really knows anything about endocrinology or how hormones work in the body nor how they relate to food intake and exercise. So there are a bunch of studies people reference when talking about this one from 1987, one from 2006 and one from 2016 and 2007. One talks about grip strength, one talks about testosterone dropping about 1% since the 80s etc. So why is this happening? Nobody tries to find out the actual reason they just assume its genetic. So i'm here to tell you why test is supposedly dropping.

There are many things that play into testosterone and estrogen levels one is foods. With the rise of fast food and massive amounts of sugar injection into our society, this hasn't helped testosterone at all, lean meats good sleep and good nutrition keep testosterone and muscle levels high.

FAT our society is far fatter than it was in 1980 fat actually lowers testosterone substantially and raises estrogen substantially. since the 80's physical activity has been plummeting. when I was in grade school even in the early 2000s before smartphones became king our parents all forced us to be outside most of the day and we were only allowed to play inside on a tv or with video games for a max of 2 hours a day. there was usually only a couple fat kids in school and we played outside for hours. Playing fighting and exercise all raise testosterone. Now skinny kids are the minority, as i'm driving by schools coming home from work I take note of people passing by and almost all the kids are fat or tubby looking down at their smartphones. Kids are raised on tv and internet now instead of a steady diet of play.

A few weeks ago I saw a picture of a huge party festival that was going on in the 70s there were over 1000 people in the photo. every single person was lean and every single man had 6 pack abs Now you go to the mall and most people have a gut. If you want to raise your test, stop eating shit, start exercising, get lean.

ever notice how soyboys/male feminists are always tubby balding neckbeards? I wish someone would do a study on this lol. Anyway I believe this is part of the attack of masculinity, oh you're testosterone is lowering you're toxic women are taking over. Plus it generally comes from radical feminists who champion the death of the nuclear family. We have already seen fast steps to make this happen in academia, religious bigotry etc than runs rampant there, medicating males that are hard to handle in youth because they are energetic.

What movement/ way do you think we could turn all this around? Clearly it needs to happen as men are doing worse and worse in academia.

edit: to the people saying people didnt work out in the 80s and they were just fat slobs what type of dope are you smoking I need some of that. they used to have chinup bars rope climbing all types of sports in schools. people were obsessed with sports and getting on football teams and most guys played. My dad was born in the 50s and lifted weights his entire life, kids were obsessed with becoming wrestlers and teenagers worked out. No they were not the most healthy people that ever lived but they were leaner, were outside more and eating more home cooked meals, not mcdonalds and sour patch kids/ had more physical jobs/ factory work. Also there is a study debunking the original study that said test levels in men were dropping so ya give your head a shake. BPA maybe birth control in the water is a conspiracy theory its been measured. phalates sure well add that for fun. personally I drink out of glass bottles etc and don't have much plastic in my life.
