The competition and testosterone

When talking about ways to enhance ones testosterone levels what people normally talk about is stuff like nofap, cold showers, avoiding soy products, working out, ETC.

But recently what I've noticed is whilst competing in martial arts(bjj, mma) i get some of the absolute strongest testosterone highs ive ever had. I know that endorphins could also play a roll in this but if i was quiet and antisocial before i most likely wont be after i leave the gym.

Noticing this its caused me to do some additional research and i came across this article online. Thoughts?

Well, I guess that makes a lot of sense. Maybe that's the science behind making your bed every day and making a to-do list every day. They're small wins. Pretty sure mil/first responders have hijacked their programming. If the amygdala raises aggression due to fight or flight and dropping your hypothalamus (emotions) to handle the situation, then maybe that would explain what I thought was a dopamine rush after getting into the shit. It also might explain the whole "kill your emotions" thing after a breakup. I guess that also explains why I can't control being a dick to a dude who whines and whimpers all the time (I try to be nice, I really do, but I somehow end up ragging on him and the floodgates open).

Good post. Thanks for sharing this.
