TESTOSTERONE AND FITNESS

WHAT IS TESTOSTERONE?

Testosterone is a growth hormone produced by both men and women but in men the most.

Testosterone is the building block of the characteristics that make a man such as a dipper voice, sexual organ development, sex drive, and for the purpose of this blog muscle development and endurance, and bone density.

CAUSES AND SYMPTOM

Ageing is the biggest cause of low test levels. Studies have shown that the male body starts producing less testosterone after the age of 30. Something that a lot of 30-year-old men may feel but not fully understand while it begins.

Obesity/high body fat can affect test production and response. Some medications that contain opioid painkillers and steroids have been known to affect testosterone production.

Some people experience a decline in physical performance and even muscle development stalls. For others, it can be low libido, and lack of drive, these are a few signs that you may have low test levels.

TEST AND TRAINING 

This will be a good time for a short story…

I have been training for well into 10 years,i am  always excited for the opportunity to move weights around in the gym and even when I don’t feel like it, discipline kicks in.

 I turned 30 in 2020 and at some point, I lost the drive to train, the excitement was not there, and even when I got to the gym I couldn’t do much.

let’s assumed it was the mark of the new age and there were no warning signs per say. But, I knew something was off. The feeling unmotivated became chronic so I researched more about the trend, using some of the greatest athletes in the weightlifting industry to guide me. Eventually, I bought some Testosterone Boosting supplements and in less than a week my drive came back, there was excitement again and during that time there was massive progress in my physique. 

So the takeaway from this anecdote; 

Testosterone plays a key role in fat loss, muscle development, and strength.
