Testosterone ImprovementTestosterone is the master hormone. Both men and women need it to prevent osteoporosis--it's what signals your bones to absorb calcium. Some other testosterone facts:

Testing for testosterone |

We sell the home testing kit, pictured at right. Click
the picture for more information. This testosterone evaluation kit allows you to use a saliva test to evaluate your levels of testosterone and DHT in the privacy of your home rather than spending several hundred dollars on a blood test. You collect a saliva sample in the morning, and then send it in a special container that comes with the kit (postage paid). A lab conducts the tests, and then mails you your results. It's pretty simple. This kit is very accurate. |

Eating for testosteroneInsulin is antagonistic to testosterone. If you want to raise your testosterone, then ensure you are not eating any processed grains (flour, sugar, corn syrup solids). This may sound challenging, but millions of people follow this advice with no problem. If you can't skip the bread, pasta, corn, and other grains, then at least have whole grains and always eat them with a protein. No instant oats, instant rice, or other modified grains. |

Exercising for testosteroneMen want those big beach muscles, so do a lot of curls and bench presses. There are two problems with this. The first is 95% of people doing bench presses get almost no benefit because they round their shoulders forward during the exercise. That merely works the front deltoids. What you want to do is pinch your shoulder blades together. Initially, you may need to reduce your weight by half. But good form produces good results, and you will be lifting far more eventually. The second problem is that isolation exercises do little to boost testosterone. Do front squats twice a month, however, and you will see your testosterone rise to the upper limit of normal. That, of course, assumes you aren't producing excess cortisol (stress hormone) or excess insulin (sugar), you are exercising in good form with intensity, you aren't overtraining, and you are eating right. |
Article AuthorshipThe articles on this site are authoritative, because:
Where an article is not bylined with a specific author's name, it was written by Mark Lamendola (see photos on home page and elsewhere on this site). Mark is a 4th degree blackbelt, has not been sick since 1971, and has not missed a workout since 1977. Just an example of how Mark knows what he's talking about: In his early 50s, Mark demonstrated a biceps curl using half his body weight. That's a Jack LaLanne level stunt. Few people can even come close. If you want to know how to build a strong, beautiful body, read the articles here. |
