Squats, deadlifts and 15mg of Zinc before you go to bed. I have found that this works.

i tried tribulus and horny goat weed ,it makes me feel stronger some times, but most of the time i feel nothing, jeah, and no alcohol and bla bla,
but i dont understand nothing about nutrition and muscles, because many bikers i know have heavy arms and only drink a lot of beer all the time.
soo with my russian friend, hes an alcoholic, but very very muscled

i think stress is the highest tosterone reducer, but its only my opinion

The Stress Hormones-Cortisol and Epinephrine(aka Adrenalin) are catabolic.ie.They tend to tear down the body.

Whereas Testosterone,along side growth hormone and insulin,are known to be Anabolic hormones.ie They build up the body.

A good book for the 'layman' on how to increase your natural Testosterone and nutritional/training advice is 'The Testosterone Advantage Plan' by Lou Schuler.He goes over scientific papers(even those that counter one idea with another) and how the findings can be applied to the real world.

From the nutritional side of things,I would recommend you keep your protien to carbohydrate ratio at one to one calorie wise and at least 30% plus of your calories from fat if you want to keep your T high.

Resistance training involving heavy compound movement.ie Squats,Deadlifts Bench Press.Five to Eight rep range.Also limit your weight workouts to under an hour.Studies have shown that cortisol usually starts to dominate Testosterone after an hour of training.

Sorry if any of this information is just repeating info from the first post link.

nice article:

favorite quote--
"Get Rid of the Flopping Belly

Or you'll grow a pair of fetching breasts to complement it."

compound lifting, not doing away with carbs--not being too much of a fatty, getting
more sleep, not worrying so much, and

it may have been there but i didn't see it on the first go 'round

"getting angry along with those 5 reps per set of explosive style weights"

my other favorite quote is something about goosiing your testosterone from
using your morning, erm, chubby. lol!

i'm mixed on the point though. all the taoist stuff sort of points to minimizing
on 'too' much sex as one gets older [in men] as it sort of demands too much and holds
so much of the body's energy. i guess the point is that it makes more generate, but
i have to differ as while a young and unattractive lad, i had the agro and forward drive
of a wild animal for weights, push-ups, etc... sex correlation definitely depleted it [energy].

first girlfriend=less on the bench press, etc...

the only point i 'poo-poo'd'.
otherwise it was awesome.

also, when you are a dad--of two or more, you don't get much opportunity for sex--my
testosterone and energy levels have been growing back to 'off the charts'. again, more
personal proof against that one point. none of the others though.

and i don't get enough sleep--darn it!!! affraid

Actually yes it is! Two things - if the stress is caused by a threatening situation such as a confontation then the stress can hopefully be turned into an adrenaline burst and a instant testosterone boost could occur? actually I doubt it, instant strength doesn't seem to happen that way (drugs can give this effect though). It's probably just the adrenaline alone that wil give the burst (or red mist!!!)
Next though, there are a few ways in which to relieve stress - now this could actually lead to a boost in testosterone levels !!! Wife can confrm ;-)

I found this interesting text:

Emotional stress is a frequent cause of decreased testosterone levels. When the "fight or flight" alarm reaction system is active, stress hormones such as adrenaline, not adrenaline and cortisol are released. The hormones that are released to protect our lives have catabolic activity. This means they catabolize (breakdown) body stores of fat and protein to be used for acute resources of energy and the immune response. They go even one step further and inhibit all anabolic processes has well. Because in life or death situations the body does not need to build muscle, eat, have sexual thoughts etc. processes that require vital life energy, all anabolic (building) processes including testosterone are shut down.

I am going to second Zinc. I have tried heaps of different supplements, and ZMA has done wonders for my sleep and overall fitness. I know my test levels have spiked since I started supplementing with zinc.

Also, eating a diet high in vitamin A, getting enough vitamin D, and eating a high saturated fat, high cholesterol diet all boost test levels, while eating low fat, low card lowers levels.

I find that a good way to increase testosterone is by choking women (but not into unconsciousness) and forcing them to call you "daddy" during sex

I did it yesterday and I feel pretty jacked right now
