How to naturally increase testosterone with exercise (types of exercise, reps, rest period, etc.)

Working out does increase testosterone (T) levels - but not all exercise is created equal.
Moreover, if you’re trying to increase your testosterone levels, you may want to add other T level-boosting activities to your exercise program.
Keep watching to learn about the link between exercise and T levels, what exercises will (and won’t) increase your T levels (testosterone booster excercises), and how you can naturally increase your T levels.

- Resistance training is better, endurance training releases cortisol which reduces T - Use heaviest weights you can - High volume - Short resting periods - Use free weights as opposed to machines (stabilizing muscles engaged) - Lower body muscles have larger mass, so squats and deadlifts do more than benching - Better not to go to failure, since that releases cortisol - No conclusive proof on improvements to basal/resting T, although some correlations with losing fat content - Older men have lower response, but there's sufficient evidence to still prove effective

[@JOSE-du7mu]

Well, if you don't repeat the same set right away, you can rest less than 30 seconds...i.e. biceps, triceps, shoulders, etc. with less than 30 seconds in between, but if you take a break to repeat the same set, yeah, you need longer break, so don't try to do the same set (next), do other muscles, then come back to it, this way, you don't have to take such prolonged breaks, because you're doing different muscle groups each time (until you repeat the circuit of course).

Walking is another great way to boost your testosterone levels as well since this involves using your legs while moving around on foot outside or inside your home or office building (depending on where you live).

[@Sbudre]

This is so comprehensive, that I now know exactly what to do from Tuesday at the gym.

[@sheldoncooper0]

Here's the deal between free weights and machines. When you use either, you're always using your core (if needed). E.g. a smith machine standing shoulder press requires your abs/lower back (i.e. core) as well, similar to a barbell standing shoulder press. The difference is actually because in all muscle groups, when you go free weights, it uses a lot more muscles, because it brings in the stabilizer muscles, which aren't there if you have a fixed range of motion with a locked-in machine. For example in a smith machine, the bar can't wobble over to the side etc. and is stable, so you're not using those muscles... Whereas for a barbell shoulder press, it can easily topple to the side and knock you off balance if you don't control it properly by actively trying to stabilize the bar i.e. stabilizers are brought in.

[@DivaRoach]

I was thinking the same thing. I was hoping people engage their core when using isolation machines instead of yanking the handle around

[@phoenixrisin2269]

Ligament and tendon strength is another reason

[@mss627]

One of the things I've found as I've gotten older is my rate of improvement has slowed to a crawl. I used to do three sets of 225 on the bench. After a 20-year break, I can't even do 100 and when I try to force myself to lift heavier weights I usually wind up injuring myself and having to take time off. So I'm now being careful about the amount of weight I lift. I'm going for consistency. I'm in the gym every day. No excuses. Don't know what it's doing for my testosterone levels but I feel 100 percent better.

I have to correct one thing she said about lifting your max weight for the most reps. You should never start at your max weight because that is the best way to get a muscle strain on injury. You should always start at a lighter weight and work your way up. You will naturally do more reps of lighter weights to prepare your muscles for that heavier weight. This is the best way to prevent injury or strain, because once that happens then you will have to limit weight training to recover. That would lead to less productive workouts, which defeats the purpose why you're working out in the first place.

Firstly, great information. Second, what's interesting to me is that the bodybuilding community seem to have keyed into this information before tests, studies, and reports came out to prove them correct. If anything, since there's a difference between strength training and muscle hypertrophy (body building), I'm wondering what the difference in testosterone levels between these different activities.

Thank you, Doctor Malik. Great information.

[@richardvaught1875]

You have helped me tremendously. Your videos are so informative that I've been able to relate things to my Dr. that would not have been possible otherwise. Along with that the info on pills and boosting testosterone. I would like to say thank you. I am a big fan and have recommended you to lots of people

So it sounds like an exercise program like “the Perfect 20 Minute Workout” is definitely on target with attaining these results. I’ve been doing these twice a week diligently and have noticed muscle strength, stamina, flexibility and endurance like nothing forty something years prior. I’m going to stick with it!

6:49 "Going to failure may not be best for your testosterone levels." Damn I wish I knew this before. Thank you so much Dr Malik. Fantastic video. We want more well informed videos like this please.

You're right I have been doing that for years

[@8MWm3e4b]

@hercules this is the biggest bs possible. ALWAYS train to absolute failure. All-in, flat-out.

[@mjolnir9855]

@@8MWm3e4b Amen. Guess what increases testosterone most? resistance. You get more resistance all day long from your muscle when you have to move around BIGGER muscles. How do you get bigger muscles? By building bigger muscles which is a result of LIFTING TO FAILURE.

A lot of people make this mistake. Just FYI I have a degree in fitness training, certs with both NASM and NSCA, and 12 years experience. The goal is to stress the system to create a response - not overload it until it fails. You can still get some gains from failure - but not as much as you'll get from specific, methodical training parameters leaving 1-3reps "in the tank". Follow the science and avoid the anecdotal claims ;)

@@ewoksalot The reason why a muscle would grow if you don't push it to the max? Who invented rir anyway?

Hi! Rena thanx for yet another great video.

Thank you Dr. Malik! 🙏🏽

Thanks, Dr. Malik. You're a walking medical encyclopedia and you can verbalize it all.

[@trentriver]

Excellent presentation. Thanks.

[@jeremycarpenter5550]

Thanks for the information.

[@kogikashakunin4683]

Try doing high intensity resistance training with short rest periods without hitting failure.

[@brawndothethirstmutilator9848]

What I personally find interesting is that I started lifting weights as a kid in the late 80’s/early 90’s and the “bro science” of observation and trial and error in the body building community was basically ticking 85-90% of the boxes on the research you cited in this video.

[@andrewmedlin434]

Great video, very informative please keep up the great work

[@v.k.7463]

This video is awesome! It is a lot of the thing I have been preaching for years. The only difference is that I promote much longer rest periods, but I may start experimenting with shorter rests.
