Testosterone improvements

Worth noting: testosterone levels vary throughout the day, peaking in the morning, and declining thereafter.

The variation seems to be more significant for men under 45.

I'm 31, 6ft, 170lbs, ~20% BF?. SQ 170, DL230, Bench145.

Lose more body fat. Aim for 10-14%. Higher body fat is correlated with lower test.

I'd suggest getting your serum Vitamin-D levels checked and, if you're low or even on the low side of what's considered the normal range, supplementing with D-3 tablets. That seems to have pushed my own serum testosterone levels way up.

Urology/Mens Health here. 650 at 31 yo is fine. The difference between worrying about getting up to 800+ is minimal. The natural ways to boost testosterone are the easiest, most of which you're already doing. Sleep well, exercise regularly (whichever form you enjoy), and diet (avoid processed, sugary junk food. Beyond that, lean meats/dairy/fruit/veggies/carbs are all fair game). Anything else that's not prescription grade is BS. You're a young guy, TRT you risk being on lifelong. Sure you can combine it with HCG to maintain fertility, but at 650 you dont need it. Should you dip below 400, your MD can consider a temporary course of Clomid. Dont waste any money on testosterone boosters, they're another gimmick by the supplement industry/Instagram shills. NoFap has no correlation, any changes are anecdotal. In general, you want to avoid cheap plastics for overall health. Glasswares a better option, but even the lids are plastic. Questionable labels of "BPA Free", to account for that just limit any leeching onto food as best as you can. You're doing solid, keep it up.

Age has a lot to do with this. How old are you? Mens testosterone starts to rapidly decline after something like 35 I think

How much vitamin D do you take? I started taking 2500ul per day and I kid you not, im chasing these girls, running around the gym with my knuckles and tongue draggin on the floor behind me n shit.

Why fight the inevitable, just get on TRT, problem solved

Eat pomegranates.

Seriously. A few of those a week, over a couple months and you'll generally see a T increase of about 20%

Edit - ymmv, this was just my experience after my doc recommended trying it while I was injured and couldn't exercise for an extended period. I didn't want to take supplements and my mood/energy levels were going to shit. I ate probably 5 a week to get that result

Did it improve your life in any way?

Are those lifts in pounds or kgs?

Also I doubt you're only 20% BF if you weigh less than me and I'm 5' 10"

Why no caffeine before 8?

BajaGhia · 2019-06-18T21:13:05+00:00

Been reading various articles saying alcohol turns TS into ES.

AceMav21 · 2019-06-18T21:18:02+00:00

Enclomiphene and DHEA

Onein1024th · 2019-06-19T03:44:40+00:00

go for HRT

or natural shit might be worth trying that's tribulus based, I guess?

celincelin · 2019-06-19T06:47:27+00:00

It’s impossible.

Raise Natty T, free t is what matters, along with androgen receptor increases:

Vitamin d, vitamin e, boron, ashgwandha, magnesium, l carnitine (for andro receptors), polyunsaturated fat ratios. Pomegranate juice raises free test. More risky is dopa mucuna.

Look up the scientific studies for other supposed t boosters, as the ones cited above work. The website anabolicmen has articles with study links on these and is great for natty t boosting.

Sufficient vit a also needs to be there for proper test production, vit b also seems to help as it lowers estrogen and prolactin. Also higher selenium and zinc blood levels have been linked to higher test levels.

Donating blood to lower iron has also been shown to raise testosterone in some people, heres a study on that: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6435491

Cistanche may also raise t, it did so in rat trials, but not in human trials, and it was also able to reverse damage caused by a chemotherapy drug on leydig cells.

Also whey protein may act like msg with the free glutamate and kill off hormone producing brain cells, its better to take that in low doses at a time.

Also clomid or enclomiphene (better, but harder to find atm) for more natty trt.
