The key word is potential.
You may be stopping your most powerful hormone dead in its tracks long before your T can maximize what you can do naturally.
So
here
are 7 simple tips you can use starting today to maximize your
testosterone and optimize your chances of building more muscle faster:
Stay lean:
The more bodyfat you
carry, the more estrogen you produce. Estrogen has feminizing
characteristics in the body, and if you think that sounds like the
opposite of testosterone, you’re right.
Train
hard: A hard intense weight training workout will cause a huge
spike in testosterone levels. Obviously consistent daily workouts means
consistent spikes in muscle building T.
Train short:
Hard intense workouts spike T -- long, grueling workouts have the
opposite effect. Smart coaches say if your workouts last longer than an
hour you’re making friends not gains. Get in, hit it, get out, and grow.
Eat more fat:
Dietary fat, particularly saturated fat, plays a key role in natural T
production. For that reason, one of the worst things you can do is eat a
very low fat diet.
Rest:
Even sleeping 7-8 hours per night versus 5-6 hours can dramatically
affect T levels. An early to bed, early to rise lifestyle leads to
higher natural T levels.
Take zinc:
As mentioned in the last email, zinc is a powerful natural
anti-aromatase and assists in hormone production. If you are a male and
training hard you should take zinc (and magnesium).
Eat Low Carb:
A low (not zero) carb diet helps keep you more insulin sensitive.
Testosterone and insulin sensitivity are closely linked. So manage carbs
and you manage insulin; manage insulin and you can manage T levels.
Testosterone
is just one muscle building hormone surging through your veins. There’s
others, like Growth Hormone, which you also have some control over.
