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.

Thanks for watching!!

Watching Dr. Malik increased my testosterone naturally without exercise.

[Jack-xim]

Mrzarvok and his magical recipes changed my life. I'm just gonna say that

[nnmartin]

- 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

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!

[johnbmwi]

Good info, I am 75 this year been lifting weights for 50 years, still training twice per week now as recovery is slower due to age.

"Never skip leg day." Doctor's orders...🙂

[panthersrhule]

Tysm for what you do for the male community, dr Malik. 🥺

[wfqsfg]

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.

[mtolivesecurityshipping]

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.

[PrikaGidli]

It's strange than you didn't mention testostux, everything that you need for perfect health is here

[_the_health_of_it]

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).

[JohnPiperBoots]

@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! 👍

[drewjdelaney]

Best advice ever, "Never skip leg day."

[billfromgermany]

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.

[terrydaniels]

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

[Paul-thes]

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.

[johnmosure]

Very helpful information. I still train hard at age 75. Legs are my favorite, and I leg press 700+. Keep that testosterone going!

[John-hwds]

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.

[iAmNotImpressedd]

Not a single man, including the most trusted and highly rated and verified MEN on YouTube 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 .

[ommpeter]

What a mind blower, going to failure is not necessarily better. Thank you for sharing Dr Rena!
