How to Unleash a Flood of Testosterone
Here’s something you’ll find interesting:
One of my beliefs is how important it is to use your natural advantages when it comes to building muscle… especially if you have limited time to train!
Not talkin about genetics or body type.
Those are irrelevant if you’re following the right training strategy.
I’m talking about the great male driver, the fuel of our fire…
The POWER that separates a bull from a steer (who ends up as messy BBQ on a 3 year olds’ picnic plate.)
What is this almighty force of nature?
TESTOSTERONE.
Thankfully we’re shipped with it built in.
The tricky part is unleashing it with your training.
There’s a right and wrong way to do it.
Two parts we gotta address.
Part I. – Recovery
You saw this in The Spartan Body Blueprint.
What is it that makes sleep so valuable?
There are much grande benefits, but one of the biggest is this:
More Growth Hormone and Testosterone production – NATURALLY!
These two fellas are responsible for telling your body to BUILD MORE MUSCLE and they do their best work while your snoozin’ away.
Of course, if you cut your sleep time short… you cut your anabolic production time short.
Growth hormone is released shortly after deep sleep begins and can sustain a peak of up to 3.5 hours.
That type of quality production is what you’re after for packing on lean muscle.
To hit that, you want to average 8 hours of sleep per night.
Part – II. Training
Lotsa wrong ways to do this with your routine:
* Using incorrect number of sets / reps in your workout
* Performing popular exercises that reduce testosterone production (d’oh!)
* Breaks too long or too short during your workout
You may be thinking, “geez that’s a lotta stuff to pay attention to…”
And you’re right, which explains perfectly why so many guys train hard but see little to no muscle growth on their frames.
There are more ways to do it wrong than right.
Just like taking a road trip.
There are plenty of “roads” you can travel on, but only one will get you to your destination the FASTEST.
For the “how tos” of turning your body in a testosterone overflowing machine checkout A Spartan Rises – where I show you how to get testosterone working for you FAST.. in a simple, step-by-step method.
Nothing better than that.
Unless you (GASP!) hate building muscle.
