- Опубликовано: 3 июн 2024
- 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.
Thanks for watching!!

Absolutely 💯

Same LOL
- 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
Unfortunately I have some injuries so I can no longer lift heavy.
Heaviest weight you can but not to failure?
High volume? No no.
No type of training increase your resting test levels,its acute effect only and endurance exercise doesnt produce significant cortisol unless excessive volume and I intensity chronically like elite aerobic athletes. Most dummies on RUclips will think this means dont do any cardio.
Exercise as hard, as long and as often as possible. BUT remember to be listening to your body, mind and your energy levels/motivation so you avoid to overtrain which only will set you back in all aspects. Enjoy 😉
At 47, my testosterone levels are at 398, I'm still building quality muscle at this age and I look better than 99% of the people at my gym. Keep pumping!

Yah for real...thanks a lot!
Why are you crying?
SIMP!

Best advice ever, "Never skip leg day."
Agree
And cardio
Gospel my friend.
Unless you're deloading
What u do with that testosterone?
This is still a new topic for researchers. I use to train 8 hours a week in mixed forms of training and my T-Levels were about 320. I would get tired and nap for a half hour and felt great. If you have a large belly that is the warning your body gives you to start eating less and moving more.
Where do you go to test your t-levels?
320 is on the lower side tho
Really you don't say
My total serum testosterone levels at 56 were 526 ng/dl, whereas now at 62 they are 611 ng/dl. The two main factors: I lost a lot of my visceral and subcutaneous fat along with a steady dose of workouts (5 - 6x/week).
Are you sure
@@Lee-1 Am I sure I lost visceral and subcutaneous fat? I have taken a pre and post DEXA scans.
Michael how old are you if I may ask?

@@4_the_health_of_it thank you. I am 34 year old. Is testosterone level should be checked regularly?
Absolutely love your channel! Best part of this video “that’s why you never skip leg day”. Love it!
Pick your pain or it will pick you. Am 40, and I feel amazing. Whats not been mentioned is the hormonic acute stress response of working out and Ice baths. Stress reduction is the goal. I Rewire my mind and dwell on the joy after a work out, this leads to me to stay consistant. Its not volume in one session, but volume of a lifestyle, consistancy is key for me.
how long you do ice bath? how often?
@@dimak76 you work into a real ice bath, your first few time the tub will spit you out, your goal 7 min. I take ten min cold showers now, I work outa town, soo, if its a Holiday inn, clean, I poor Ice into a bath, its a reset, you feel like you didnt work, plus my mood is much better.
What a mind blower, going to failure is not necessarily better. Thank you for sharing Dr Rena!
Wow, I'm in my 60s and seeing those older men really set me back. I am ready to start back up after being away from weight training for a while. I spent years in the gym weight training but life sometimes gets in the way and things change. I really feel like I am still able to get good results with resistance training.
I hope you go back to the gym. It's never too late. I started training in my late 30's.
I have lifted haphazardly throughout my life, but at age 50, I started powerlifting. Now 56, it has changed my life. You are *never* too old to get the most from your body. Good luck, my friend.
@@Kris.G im 36 and im restarting after 10 yrs.
Trt 👍👍. For 3 /12 months . You will love it 👍
Watch later
A big Thank You Dr. Malik I really appreciate your knowledge and information to keep me headed in the right direction. At 56 I still feel like I'm 35 & often told I look like I'm 37-42 years young 👍🏽
Keep on sharing the good information 😊
@RenaMalikMD - You are a sweetheart in more ways than one! Thank you! ❤❤❤
1. Large muscle groups, heavy weights, but not to failure
2. Keep viseral fat down
3. Little rest between sets
It is working and I am in my 60s !!!!!
Also VERY inspiring to hear from guys that are older than me! Those 75+ WOW! 👍
The facts that this Dr provides is absolutely amazing.
Thank you Dr. Malik. This will serve as a guide for how I develop my weight room exercise routine. I appreciate the information that you share. You're the most trusted online source that I have.
I just started working out and after weightlifting in the afternoon I noticed a huge surge in energy. Glad to know it increases testosterone
I have worked out and played sports my entire life, and watch a good bit of health fitness videos on RUclips. Your information is spot on , and I always enjoy your content… Happy New Year! ❤
Thanks, an awesome contribution again!
In 6 months of keto and crossfit I lost 53lbs and raised my testosterone naturally from 213 to 320 total test and I'm 48. I could tell my test was going up, but was surprised by the lab results. Lots of squats, dead lifts, cleans, and snatch workouts in those six months.
Great
Damn it’s true about the drop of testosterone, 320!? and no it’s not because you’re 48.
320 holy F 🤣 213 my laaawd
I think I'd be looking for other ways to raise it .
How do you know if someone is doing crossfit , they tell you lol
Lots of actionable information to help improve T level optimization via exercise! Thank you Dr Malik!
This was brilliant and very helpful. Thank you Dr. Malik!
Excellent, very informative, and complete.
Great video! Thanks for this! I’m going to incorporate this info in my workouts. I like how at the end she more or less said; Get up and start doing exercise!
Very helpful information. I still train hard at age 75. Legs are my favorite, and I leg press 700+. Keep that testosterone going!
You're a masochist! I'm impressed. I don't skip leg day, but I don't enjoy it either. 💯💯
@@michaelfera5515 Thanks! Legs I do best, other parts, chest, not so well, old shoulders....lol

@@anthonysmith820 ....Tom Platz is only 67 for starters and he never used to do leg presses as he considered them inferior to squats. I'm sure he could leg press 700 for about 50 reps.
Fantastic job on explaining & not over explaining 🤗
Wow - this is great! I am not a bodybuilder, but I am a believer in resistance training. Great info, thanks Dr. Rena!
Thank you for the visuals. They helped me understand a lot!
Probably one of the best, if not thee best video I've ever watched concerning this subject. Dr. Malik, you never disappoint.
Wow you are a genius! I’m very grateful you broke this down better!! Makes sense!! I have a friend that does crazy endurance but looks the same !! I sent him your link !! I’ve been telling him the same thing !!
Not a single man , including the most trusted and highly rated and verified MEN on RUclips has yet to clearly and in such sincere and academic way , explain exactly what is actually true. You have done an IMACLUENT job help us (yet to be fit ) men achieve a clear and instructive understanding of natural way we humans ought to increase our T levels. May you be rewarded .
Really helpful information without any fluff. Thank you!
This was comprehensive as hell! Thank you!
Best sum-up video on the topic! Thank you very much!
You provide the most complete information in this space I have ever consumed over the internet...thank you.
Great information, Doctor. I appreciate all you do for men’s health. A healthy testosterone level is extremely critical for a man’s health and wellness, especially as we age.
Sleep is a huge factor as well
Thank you for posting these facts!! It is hard enough to get up and exercise but knowing what works and why helps. I'm all in. 62 years old
this MD talk so clam and smooth, i found it is really relaxing my mine, thank you doc
Awesome video, very informative and motivating! thank you!👍
Very helpful - even for a 76 year old male like me. I’ve been training with weights for several decades. The most important point for me was that a male is most likely to increase his testosterone when using the larger muscle groups such as the thighs and glutes.
Such great advice!! I was at the gym last year and was just chit chatting with this older gentlemen, early 40’s. He recommended this channel to me and when I told him my age (29) he looked at me and told me “Wow you look good for 30”. I was so humbled and probably says a lot to why 30 year olds look like these days 👀
That was a good one Dr. Malik, very helpful info to spread around.
What an outstanding video! Having been training with weights for 35 years and being on TRT, I’m very impressed with your knowledge. I love your channel. ❤
35 and on TRT what for?
I think he said he has been training with weights for 35 years....
@@xbenxwilsonxhighlights7879 Training with weights for 35 yrs.
Extremely accurate video. That comment Rena about “leg day” was spot on. I do two per week.
Perfect video for sufferers of Post orgasmic illness syndrome
Dr . You’re all the motivation I need
What an excellent presentation. Didn’t expect a urologist to be so knowledgeable about exercise science. Found this better than any number of “so-called” weight training specialists.
What makes you think shes correct?
Squats, Deadlifts, Bench Press & Pull-ups. Those are the big compound exercises that do the most for you.
Also rows and overhead presses
Facts.
And dips
Thanks Renee 63 168 pounds exercises daily 300 to500 push ups starting squats use hand weights lot of strech exercises eat healthy fish fruits green veggies minerals widowed that bother me take care of my health you are helpful great videos terry
Please keep these fantastic videos coming.Great info 😊
I have done resistance training, Endurance training, cardiovascular training, HIIT, calisthenics, specifically for a longer period of time, I can surely tell what Dr. Told us is absolutely correct , plus resistance training and calisthenics are the two training with some cardio can make you beast🙌💪💪
That was an awesome discussion of a complex topic. Thank you so much 😊
Excellent presentation. Thanks.
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.
You are a brilliant Urologist.
I been lifting for over 60 years, and have always used the 3 minutes rule between sets, so this is very valuable information for me. I breath heavier now between sets than when I was younger so maybe I can do 90 seconds between sets.
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).
90 seconds wont let you lift heavy on compound exercises. 2- 2 1/2mins...longer for PRs
sky is limit, advise never limit yourself, i use my mind and confidence to go wherever i want if u know i mean
Thanks for pointing out good info.
Wow you explained this so much better than those gym trainers and the explanation on volume and intensity was on point.
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.
Just curious why'd you stop
Excellent content. Affirms a lot of what I already learned. Just more detailed.
Excellent tips. Thanks for posting!
Thank you, Doctor Malik. Great information.
I had a pituitary tumor that messed with my testosterone. Luckily I got it removed back in 2019, I went from being mildly depressed, irritable, anxious and overall a terrible person to hang out with. Oh and I was 424lbs, now I'm ~250lbs, I got muscle, I stopped taking t-injections over a year ago and my life has done a 180, like seriously the last 3yrs and especially the last year has been amazing for me.
Men NEED testosterone, I don't care what you think or how you think you feel men NEED testosterone.
Why did you decide to come
Off testosterone.
Look into Wim Hof and breathing cold therapy
@@tonehernandez8598 because i wanted to know if my body could do it on its own and thankfully it did, I've been off testosterone for years now and still making progress
I would encourage this community to look into Kettlebell or Steel Club/Mace based workouts. This style of training checks all of the boxes for supporting the Testosterone boost the Dr. described from the video:
- Resistance Exercises
- With Large Muscle Mass
- Moderate to High Intensity
- Short Resting Period
- High Volume.
Checks all the boxes for sht that wrecks your joints to. I never understood low impact until now.
I recently started training with a club and what an amazing workout..........are real wake up call for smaller, weaker muscles!
Thank you so much for this information on how exercise effects testosterone levels. I know that I need to do more of the jump squats. I’m over 50 and want to maximize my testosterone because as you stated it decrease with age each year. I need to maximize the exercise without overdoing it that will decease the production. Appreciate you!
Thank you Dr. Malik! 🙏🏽
Dr Malik makes a lot of sense here, of course this video is about testosterone alone but there are many other health benefits to doing high intensity exercises regularly
Brilliant video.
You covered th whole topic from A to Z in only 11 minutes, Thank you, doctor.
Thanks doc, for your clear explanations.
Thanks Doc, am 48 years old. Those are the workouts that I do , and I feel great.
You are awesome! I am 59 with spinal cord fusion and have started resistance training. Immediately, I began feeling more sexual desire and my performance is increasing. This video just explained why!
Watching this video boosted my testosterone!
Thank you, Dr. Malik, I'll take this info with me to the gym!
I'm overloaded with information right now that I need to watch this over and over again.😄
Stress kills testosterone
Yes definitely. I was stressed out for years not knowing the cause. Probiotics saved my life. They are amazing for stress and anxiety.
@@nawazwaseem2219 Probiotics wrecked my gut sadly, not for everyone...
@Gabriel Barrantes no they don't they are for gut health, but most don't actually reach your gut properly try "seed" I've been using it for a while now
It does, and the more you think about not stressing, the more stressed you get 🙄
@@gabrielbarrantes6946 are you getting your probiotics from actual food or supplements?
And as with jump squats it should be pointed out that not all resistance training requires weights. Look at any calisthenics (body weight athlete) or gymnast, to see that. In fact pole and rope climbing are two of the biggest testo inducers as they engage the whole body at once.
Didn't know Rope climbing was so good. Thanks for the info.
They are not,its entirely irrelevant the acute effect of exercise on test because it will have no health benefits
Great info, Jeff Nippard walks the talk about these exact things and then gives the paths to do it!

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). It helps create a sense of urgency because it makes you want to get moving now instead of standing still doing nothing at all!
no it doesnt......no quad flexion which is also missing in running, that's why running is one of eth worst things you can do..
False. Swimming is way better. Basically walking is cardio, no resistance.
@@kawasakizx10rr-trackbikeco85He said Walking, not Running.
@@reymeza2707
Do both, and include biking.
These can all go with resistance training.
@@Winterstick549 walking is great but useless for directly boosting testosterone. if the goal is to lose excess bodfyfat and raise testosterone via that mechanism, its a great way to help create a caloric deficit without overly stressing the endocrine system

Wow, a beautiful vedio... Thanks Dr. Rina🙂
Great explanation and guide to maximize benefits….Your presentation and voice and knowledge is excellent thank you!
Thanks, Dr. Malik. You're a walking medical encyclopedia and you can verbalize it all.
Try doing high intensity resistance training with short rest periods without hitting failure.
Good vid. Thanks for sharing this video
Very good video. Loved this!!
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.
I was thinking the same thing. I was hoping people engage their core when using isolation machines instead of yanking the handle around
Ligament and tendon strength is another reason
Thank you, Dr. Malik it is nice to learn specific steps to include in my daily routine. Time stamp 1:35. 1:38
NAMASTE RENA THANK YOU FOR YOUR REALISM AND ADVICE, I WISH YOU WELL!🙏
Amazing , motivational and well researched information. Thanks for sharing .
My test levels were in the 200’s, and the problem with exercise was, after work, I was too tired to do it. Since I have been on trt, I got my energy levels back, sleep better, and am overall much happier. Now I have the energy to exercise.
What are your levels now?
@@Gespense I keep them 800
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!
Thank you very much, Rena🙂
