I've tried the search for testosterone on the forum, but many things are contradicting themselves, does anyone have any methods that they go by and swear it increases their T-levels?

So far I've made a list of what I use:

1) at the gym work out large muscle groups to exertion
2) daily intake of Tribulus
3) Protein shakes

But I don't feel its enough. I don't want to use artificial hormones, as I don't want to mess with my body that way. The reason why I use them is to redirect the fat deposit from my pelvis to other parts. I noticed that I lost a lot of fat around the hips while my T levels were high, this probably goes against the theory that you can't just lose weight around one part of the body, but that's fine, cause it does happen, weight redistribution is a dynamic part of ones body.

I think some suggest in addition to raising testosterone you have to lower estrogen (which encourages certain fatty deposit). We are all predisposed to certain genetic fatty deposits. It is not always the same from person to person.

Along the lines of working out large muscle groups, consider doing compound lifts. The Olympic lifts are great for this (squats, deadlifts, cleans, snatches).

I LOVE TRIBULUS. I order mine online from Source Naturals. Definitely works well for me. Only side effect is I am so amped up I could hump a tree....

Yeah the only thing that will increase your testosterone is testosterone itself. Those "natural" supplements don't work and there's plenty of studies on it (though zinc and magnesium will bump it up SLIGHTLY.)

So unless you can convince your doctor to write you a prescription, you're just gonna have to learn to live with the good lord gave you

Don't be working yourself to the point that you're over training: it'll drop your testosterone through the floor.

You may want to increase the amount of fat you eat. There is research that suggests that low fat diets can inhibit the production of testosterone. Also, if you drink alcohol, try cutting back or eliminating the alcohol completely. I've read a book about naturally increasing testosterone levels called The Testosterone Advantage Plan that goes into details and specifics about the above. You can probably get a copy on Amazon or Ebay.

It has also been proven that soy will decrease testosterone and increase estrogen's in the male body. Make sure you eliminate all soy!! I am serious here. Take whey protein and no soy nothing!!!

Google it if you need and find more on this.

They also say a man's testosterone is lowered just by looking at a pair of high heels...not that any of us would here....lol
