How to naturally increase testosterone with exercise (types of exercise, reps, rest period, etc.)

Watching Dr. Malik increased my testosterone naturally without exercise.

- 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!

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.

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).

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

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

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.

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.

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

The facts that this Dr provides is absolutely amazing.

I have worked out and played sports my entire life, and watch a good bit of health fitness videos on YouTube. Your information is spot on , and I always enjoy your content… Happy New Year! ❤

Absolutely love your channel! Best part of this video “that’s why you never skip leg day”. Love it!

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 😊

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.

Thank you for the visuals. They helped me understand a lot!

Lots of actionable information to help improve T level optimization via exercise! Thank you Dr Malik!

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!

Wow - this is great! I am not a bodybuilder, but I am a believer in resistance training. Great info, thanks Dr. Rena!

Best advice ever, "Never skip leg day."
