If you are looking to pack on some lean muscle and maybe lose a little body fat, then consider testosterone and muscle used in the same sentence.

When, I say this, say this I am talking about increasing your testosterone levels to increase your lean muscle.

Testosterone plays a key role in the muscle building process within your body.

As you might already know, from your teenage years, it was easier to build muscle and keep you body fat lower. This is due to your hormones increasing at a fast pace and your testosterone levels peaking up until your 30s. The higher your testosterone levels the easier it was to build your muscles and get stronger.

Testosterone and Muscle

Watching TV, or going to a beach or gym, you see men walking around packed with muscle and a hard six-pack and wonder how they do it. I know I did until I figured it out, Testosterone! As a kid I would always here hormones! Everything was a result of hormones and testosterone is the hormone responsible for your sex drive, often your body fat levels, your stress levels, and the reason for this article your lean muscle mass.

Low Levels of testosterone can cause loss of your lean muscle and an increase in body fat specifically in your belly. This happens more after the age of 30 years old but can happen sooner if you have an unhealthy lifestyle.

When we see a huge muscle-bound man we may think steroids. Well, what are steroids? They are illegal hormone or testosterone boosters. They are boost your testosterone levels synthetically to a high levels which causes the body to pack on huge muscle when taken with a hard work out plan.

 

So, what do we know?
We Know that steroids increase testosterone levels and the testosterone levels build muscle!
We know that the goal is to build your muscle but building it naturally is the healthy goal.

Increasing Your Testosterone Levels Specific To Building Muscle

There are 3 things you can do to work towards bigger muscle in the body.

1. Eat for Muscle and For Testosterone

When you are eating for muscle, you need to eat enough protein, carbs and fat and also eat the right kinds of foods for increasing testosterone.

 

Here are the recommendations:

• Eat Enough Calories to Build- 18 to 20 times your weight Ex. 200lbs x 20 = 4000 Calories
  (If Over 3000 Calories stay with 3000)
• Eat Fatty Protein ( Protein Fat Increases Testosterone) 1 to 2 grams per pound of your weight.
  (I will provide a link shortly for a full guide to kinds of protein)
• Eat slow digesting complex carbs- 2 grams per pound of your weight
  (I will provide a link shortly for a full guide to kinds of carbs)
• Don’t ignore fat- Welcome it but the good fats- 30% of your diet should be from foods containing rich fats.
  (I will provide a link shortly for a full guide to kinds of fats)
• Chow down 6 times a day- Stay consistent and eat frequently to keep your metabolism burning as well.
  (This helps to control the metabolism and conversion to testosterone)

These are the most important recommendations to eat for testosterone and muscle. Below is a link to a full Testosterone Diet Guide including all the recommended foods, calories and information about this type of diet. It is a must read if you are not aware of this type of eating. It is different from a conventional diet. You eat fats, you eat more and you eat to increase your testosterone levels.

2. Work Out To Increase Muscle and Testosterone

When You are working out to increase muscle and testosterone, you need to work out hard and heavy. This promotes the natural release of hormones that will convert to testosterone and build muscle.

 

Here are some work out recommendations followed by a link to a full testosterone work out guide:

• Lift heavy weights using compound movements- This incorporates more than one muscle to complete the lift which kicks your hormones into action promoting a natural testosterone increase.
• Work each muscle 6 to 8 sets completing 6 to 8 reps to failure as heavy as possible.
• Restrict rest between sets to under 1 minute.
• Lift 3 days a week- Pushing Exercises Day 1 – Legs Day 3 – Pulling Exercises Day 5
  (Remember Lift Heavy and lots of rest on off days- Recovery Promotes Muscle)

The recommendations above are the most important ones to follow. Below is a link to my full work out guide including the exercises recommended promoting the most muscle as possible and the best increase in testosterone.
