- Testosterone is often considered the muscle building hormone, and for good reason. In this episode, Patrick breaks down how this hormone influences muscle growth and what you can do about it.

To understand how a muscle grows, we need some basic skeletal muscle anatomy. Within each muscle cell are strands of stiff proteins called myofibrils, which contain long proteins called filaments arranged into a parallel pattern that lets them slide back and forth past each other.
This sliding mechanism is ultimately what allows our muscles to produce tension. And if we zoom out to the muscle fiber’s surface, we see tiny cells called satellite cells that hang out on the edge of muscle fibers underneath the connective tissue. These things are essentially dormant muscle cells, kind of like muscle stem cells.
When our muscles produce a high amount of tension like during resistance exercise, those myofibrils incur a little bit of damage. This produces an inflammatory response at the muscle which then promotes healing. That inflammation also wakes up the satellite cells which prompts them to fuse into the muscle fiber they’re attached to. And each satellite cell has a nucleus with the instructions for making more of those contractile proteins. And increases in muscle size mostly comes from adding these proteins to muscle.

Testosterone - What It Does And Doesn't Do
www.health.harvard.edu/drugs-...
“Testosterone's role in bad behavior is largely a myth. What's more, testosterone plays other important roles in health and disease that may surprise you. For example, did you know that testosterone is a key player in prostate cancer? Or, that women need testosterone, too? There's more to testosterone than guys behaving badly.”
Skeletal Muscle Overview
open.oregonstate.education/aa...
“Each skeletal muscle is an organ that consists of various integrated tissues. These tissues include the skeletal muscle fibers, blood vessels, nerve fibers, and connective tissue. Each skeletal muscle has three layers of connective tissue that enclose it, provide structure to the muscle, and compartmentalize the muscle fibers within the muscle.”
What are anabolic steroids?
www.drugabuse.gov/publication...
“Anabolic steroids are synthetic, or human-made, variations of the male sex hormone testosterone. The proper term for these compounds is anabolic-androgenic steroids. "Anabolic" refers to muscle building, and "androgenic" refers to increased male sex characteristics.”

Host and writer here. This is one of those topics I’ve wanted to cover for a long time - but the research is so extensive on this topic that it was hard narrowing in for a 5 minute video. I kept on wanting to read more!
Great Channel! keep it up!
Is there a way to keep producing more hormones even at age???
@@AmanVerma-zg5iw There are several ways, 2 of which are getting enough sleep and having a low BMI.
You should give your own channel a shout out at the end of your videos.

Beautiful choice in 80's training montage synth music
Didn't know it was called synth but always loved it. Thank you!
Synthwave is finally getting love 😍
I politely have to disagree, unless I'm missing a hidden joke somewhere, the use of feminine aesthetical features for a video about testosterone would be completely inappropriate.
idea for new video; How your body increases height.
growth plates in your bones
It does relate to this video, i guess.

In order to lose fat and gain muscle you need to train well and eat well. I highly recommend the personalized Agoge Diet plan, works amazing..
Please do make more exercise physiology videos. Love your content.
Great research. Loving the quality
finally thank you. I had so long to find a video which explains this.
I can’t believe no one say
Mitochondria is powerhouses of the cell
Great video! Very Fun with all the graphics in the video
Very informative thanks a lot for the quality content
I really appreciate the precise language used in Seeker videos. It makes for more accurate statements
I started TRT at 36 after years in the gym with no gains and other side effects. It’s a night and day experience.
Can you be more specific? When i Will be 40 i think i Will do It but need to listen to other experiences before deciding. Thanks
@@MrAntonellocolangelo strength and muscle gain. And fat loss. Not like insane bodybuilder level but noticeable.
@@geekspeak1066 How much were you taking a week?
@@jamieshows1564 180mg weekly. I inject EOD because of my body fat level but twice a week is pretty common.
@@geekspeak1066 How much muscle did you gain in the first year with TRT?
Awesome channel 👍🏻
I love the 80s synth music in the background.
Great video
Excellent background music
Very interesting video. Thank you! (But the music was such an annoyance)
Is muscle building still possible on a caloric deficit when on trt?
What about compounds that's not naturally found in the body, like Dianabol, Trenbolone or Winstrol. How do they stimulate muscle growth?
Yes my gentle giant thanks for the awesome informative video I do bodybuilding staying natural.
Very insightful, but i have a complaint. It's already a complicated analysis as it is, so please try explain it slower, and with more hand gestures involved 😅 so we could understand better.
Nice video.
Absolutely correct
1:04 the guy hanging onto the bag lmao 😂
Amazing.
Do a video on creatine
Would be interesting to see a video on how big can you actually get as a human.
You can find a video about it on kurtkzard channel
❤appreciate this
Which type of testosterone, free or total?
my androgen receptores is becoming more sensitive forcefully causing more testosterone binding to dht due to 5ar the process of transforming testosterone to dht

Looking for an online source for testosterone for my trt protocol. Any advice?
Prestige Pharma
What are the delivery times like ?
I'm currently using workoutfitnessgears for my TRT
Hey bro, my testosterone level is 240 ng/dl and I just started TRT with 200 mg every two week for 2 months and then the doctor would increase it to 400 mg every two weeks. My question is , is TRT with the dosage I mentioned is really beneficial with gaining muscles and losing weight?
Well to my knowledge, increasing the dosage and watching tv will not gain you muscle magically sadly. You need to actually workout and stimulate the muscle. Consistency is key, and progress overload and you’ll be golden
And fat loss wise, you will need track your calorie and eat in a calorie deficit to lose weight/fat. TRT sadly will not melt the fat away and leave you with a physique like Arnold.
@@siddharthatimilsina5245 This is incorrect. Larger doses will produce muscle even when not weigh training, but weight training and larger doses together produce a synergy.
@@SuperIce6374 yes you are correct, but if I show you a before and after picture of someone who has been taking trt for the last 3 months. Who has not been hitting the gym, not stimulating the muscle. You will physically see no difference
but with ct scan, you will that the muscle has gotten bigger (denser).

I am not a medical doctor, so please don’t take my word as advice. But from my experience, this is what I have to say
Overall my message is not to use hrt as an excuse to not hit the gym, and to think that this will lead you to a great physique
If your doctor tells to use hrt for your health, take his advice not mine
Would you not agree?
Also make a video on how estrogen level is related to flexibility in females💕...m eager to know it's mechanism 👀
me too, maybe knowing the mechanism will help me make my hrt work better. 15 months and not any more flexible lol
Bruh is that why I can’t do the splits
So there's a reason I can't do cool leg tricks even after training a while -_-
This is a complete BS. Body type, genes, activity level and type determines flexibility. Don't believe everything you read on YT comment section

Love the 80s theme music
Basically you telling me I should have stayed 18 when I got the chance
Regarding hormones, how about how women need testostereone for libido as well as oestrogen? Do men need oestrogen and why?
I have had a hysterectomy, so am short on testosterone. What other effects (other than libido) does this cause?
Well if you can find a book about that, do share
I did read about how female bodybuilders who use steroids get increased libidos, but I don't know about how it works if your testosterone levels are too low. You might want to discuss this with your doctor.
Dr here. In school they often teach us that testosterone and estrogen are oposites, but in reality they kind of work together, we men need estrogens (stradiol specifically) to regulate the effects of testosterone in parts like the brain and the testicles. Phenotypic women also need testosterone because it helps with ovarian cycle, bone growth and libido, but we are still not sure how, both men and women have receptors for testosterone in their brains, but it is not well known how they work.
regarding your other question about the hysterectomy, it depends on what kind of hysterectomy it was (only uterus, or also ovaries and tubes)
We also need estrogen for joint health and libido.
How do people get test do you just ask ur doctor?
workoutfitnessgears I'm currently using them for my TRT

I've had a testosterone test and in actually quite low in the stuff, being at the minimum level border and my blood sample was taken when the testosterone levels was at its peak. I asked my GP if I can have testosterone boosters and my was like "No" without any explanation... UK GPs suck so much
Take Aswagandha
Reputable communities out there on steroids if you truly wanted to roll a low dose of test and needed help understanding what to do. Obviously, legal implications apply 🙄
@@57ashdot steroids are legal to buy, posess and use in the UK.
@@patrickbateman4541 did not know that. Honestly, as it should be. Its a personal choice.
I heard it has alot to do with what u are eating. Certain foods are supposed to destroy your testosterone levels and should be avoided whenever possible.
does testosterone do more things than build muscle in the human body?

Oh let me assure you it matters very much what hardware I have…
When you talk, you sound like train. Slowdown when you are explaining things to people, remember they are in that field.
Toooooo loud music. Really difficult to listen to the context
So how to reduce the loss of testosterone that comes up with aging?
So what happens to your testes if you take testosterone?
They stop producing it and eventually shrink
@@agoogleaccount9608 well they seem to be producing less and less every year so...
Does masturbation cause weight loss or affect weight gain during Workout ??
Mitochondria is...
Not biden forces
Idk why but i think there is something wrong with my body I'm male there something wrong with my hormones or something
Wait .... go drink 2 glass of water... then watch this
It does not matter what kind of hardware you have. :D :D :D

Truly disgusting that some"people" would do this horrible thing
Do what thing, whaaa????
@@theallknowingorbitalteapot1010 it's a meme
@@Ricky911_ I still don't get what it is tho
@@theallknowingorbitalteapot1010 essentially, someone made a video on how disgusting it is that half the population wipes their butt while standing up. Every comment in the comment section literally said, "Truly disgusting that some "people" would do this horrible thing." After that, everyone starting writing that randomly on other people's vids. It's quite likely that this isn't gonna be the last time you're gonna see that phrase
I love testosterone
Why is he dressed like a priest? Lmao
So what happens much later on in life, when you produce hardly any testosterone?
That's when you start considering a trt regimen.
You get fat and out of shape. Lose energy, sex drive
I don't think he's telling the truth about it doesn't matter what hardware you have to create testosterone.
So I think what you're saying is, at 53, I shouldn't join the gym because I'm never going to look like Wolverine anyway. Okaaaay. Fine!
You should still join the gym for cardiovascular health and to slow down age-related muscle loss. Just don’t expect to pack on the muscles like men in theirs 20’s do, sorry.
You can build muscles at any age lmao
Three words: TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy).
@@austinfreyrikrw6651 if he tries hard than he can?
@@austinfreyrikrw6651 When we exercise LH stimulates testis to produce testosterone as we age LH stimulation decreases and testosterone decreases thus muscle loss happens but if the person works hard than he can gain testosterone at any age main thing is that his determination and effort
I’m here first 💪🏾

How do you propose we do that? We can't even manage to clean up our oceans (though we have begun finally, with some pretty neat innovative ideas), what makes u think we can clean the area around Earth? Cost wise especially?

Strengh has nothing to do with testosterone, testosterone producing white muscle fibres which is basically water, strengh comes from brown muscle is denser and the harder the muscle the stronger it is! White muscle isnt strong as its basically big and soft from all the water, big muscle does not mean strong muscles!! Ps i was a pro kickboxer and instructor so bare that in mind before you try and discredit me!! As a pro athlete strengh was my priority so i know my own strength and when i was 25 i could bench press 130kg and people thought i was skinny hmmmm how am i so strong then? Cos my muscles are hard and dense, after over a decade at 41 and not been to the gym i can still bench 90kg and 3 years ago my T tanked so bad i developed a sugar addiction cos i was working 2 jobs for 3 months so i had to quit, so there im living prove testosterone has nothing to do with strengh just muscle growth. Low weights and high reps increases brown muscle (which is stronger) over white muscle which is basically water
Indian film actors have power muscles than these professionals
