This Is Actually The Best Way To Increase Your Testosterone

foreigner I think it was George Patton who once said that fatigue is the death of courage and if that is true then the opposite also has a huge impact, the more energy you have, if you have the opposite of fatigue the braver you will be in

this

. Regarding

this

, I've always been very curious about how to keep my

testosterone

levels up, but what I discovered in the research is that, for the most part,

your

testosterone

levels are set in stone, to a large extent they are set in stone, You can modify

your

lifestyle and make your testosterone levels stay healthy, but you can't do anything to actively

increase

testosterone outside of testosterone replacement therapy, by literally injecting more testosterone;

However, there is a component to high testosterone levels that is often not recognized. I guess we call it manosphere space and that's the idea that feeling like a winner makes you have high testosterone levels. This sounds a bit like a law of attraction. I get it, but in this video I want to share a handful of insights into why I think I feel like a winner. A winner, creating mental victories for yourself is the

best

way to keep your testosterone levels healthy, so the first idea is to literally create victories for yourself. There was a study done at the University of Cambridge that basically revealed that men in a certain setting who had won some type of competition had elevated levels of testosterone, basically the research team measured hormone levels as well as self-perceived attractiveness in the men. men, and the sense of competition was judged by pitting the men against each other in a rowing challenge, they simply rowed against each other. others and men who won as if they had won the Rowing competition or rather simply perceived themselves as winners as a result of the competition had received an average testosterone

increase

of 4.92 percent, while those who felt that had lost their testosterone levels had decreased by an average of a total of 7.24 men who perceived themselves as winners had testosterone levels 14.46 percent higher than their deflated opponents, the study concluded by saying that this Testosterone and its corresponding psychological effects can fluctuate rapidly and opportunistically shift toward short-term mating in response to a perceived change in status. that can increase mating value, that is, our perception of ourselves affects our testosterone levels.

You know, some time ago, Hamza had made a video about increasing testosterone and his conclusion at the end was basically saying that a law attracts himself to have more testosterone as he believed he had a certain amount of testosterone. I believe testosterone is measured in nanograms per deciliter. I'm

actually

not too sure, but he said that he basically envisioned having a testosterone level in the 700s and had it in the results some time later. I literally imagined an outcome and then updated it when I saw that video of yours, I thought it sounded a little ridiculous since I'm open to the idea of ​​using the law of attraction to affect your physiology, sure, I think the mindset is huge, but However, thinking about a testosterone level number and then having it affect you didn't seem real at the time and I can say this because Hamza is a friend of mine, but the fact that Hamza has been winning consistently for a year and at this point, I'd say it probably has something to do with his elevated testosterone levels.

I'm talking about feeling like a winner every day and especially getting wins early in the day. It changes the whole vibe. Some time ago I wanted to go on a second date with someone, a girl I just met, and it seemed like she was about to fall apart, like her text message response times were getting longer and longer, and I remember feeling uneasy. kind of discouraged on a Monday morning because we were supposed to make plans and it looked like they were going to fall through and then I made a huge business win that day, like I had been trying to sign up more high-end videography clients and it basically seemed like we had just hired someone and it's almost like I felt so safe. right after because I felt like my career at the video agency was taking off more and suddenly I didn't care at all how this girl treated me or the fact that it was going to fall apart because I felt like a champion of Of course, I didn't get the chance about having researchers measure my testosterone levels before and after this, you know, exchanging messages and then this videography won, but I have to tell you that I went to the gym later that day and I just crushed deadlifts feeling like a champ because I started to get wins that day, so while there are a number of different smaller strategies that people have pointed out to increase testosterone levels, I would say this is the first place to start: making yourself feel more and more like a win every day and almost like accumulating victories strategically throughout the day.

Now there are five sub-principles that I want to extrapolate within this first idea and they all have to do with making you feel more of a winner. The first idea is that you must plan each one. Last night when I was reading a lot of Brian Tracy books, one of the OG self-help productivity people talked about this principle all the time, I planned each day the night before and there were seasons of my life. where I would get into this habit and then I would fall and let it go, maybe I would plan too much on a certain day and then feel dejected because that day didn't go so well, but this was especially helpful for me when I was like a broken actor and it was like it ended of leaving my teaching job to dedicate myself to acting full time.

I was trying to feel more of a winner just by planning the day and even if what I was planning felt very simple. like 9:30 I'm going to clean my room or whatever, it's like smaller things that are completely under my control, demanding a certain amount of leverage in my day and saying, hey, my day is going to be done according to how I decided to be, it helps you feel more like a winner, in fact it is a very strategic way to feel more like a winner, plus this habit really improves your productivity as you can really get a lot more done when you set an intention, according to Brian Tracy.

Planning each day the night before increases your productivity for the next day by about a thousand percent, you potentially gain two extra hours of productive time each day because you won't spend that day making decisions, many of the decisions have been made the night before and I have to say that a lot of people admire, like real estate agent Ryan Serhant, who is like a billionaire CEO and YouTuber who plans every day the night before, a lot of people talk about this willing Jocko Jocko is someone I really admire. Each day is planned, he prepares his sportswear the night before and it's a great way to make sure that when you start the next morning things go to your liking, as if you were in charge of the day and not. being buffeted by the storms of time you decide what time it will be The second sub-principle is closely related to the first and is to visualize the success of that day.

I realize this now more than ever because my boxing coach who was on my podcast Austin, some of you may have seen that episode. He and I have been having nutrition talks more frequently, and sometimes I'm impressed by how much planning and intention he puts into nutrition; You

actually

know exactly what you are going to eat and at what time. of the day as if he now has a plan for the foods he eats. I thought he had been on top of nutrition. I was eating, you know, lean sources of protein and vegetables and all that, but to know exactly what you're going to consume at what time and how it's going to align with your lifts, that you hit a certain anabolic window and then also visualize the result associated with it.

It really helped me understand things on a different level if you're going to adopt this first. Sub-principle of planning each day the night before, what you should definitely do is also visualize, visualize yourself executing what that day will look like and visualize it in both first and third person perspective, so that in first person you see yourself himself and you. You're like you have your hands in front of you going and doing that and then you also look like you're a bird in the sky looking at yourself and it looks like this is what this guy does, he wakes up right now. you make your bed, the coffee is made with intention, you drink it and you head to the gym and then you do deep work right now and when this meeting comes up, you take the meeting a certain way and you respond to everyone calmly and strategically. thinking of yourself a certain way and then starting to like acting like you're literally playing pretend but pretending you're a badass character actually has an effect on your performance and even though I can't quote this directly from any studio No I have no doubt that it would have an effect on your testosterone levels.

The third idea I want to share here is that every phase of your day should have small wins built into it, so this is like a key component of this video using small wins to feel more like a winner because the truth is that most of our days feel pretty boring and especially when compared to Instagram stories, you almost start to forget how much of a successful life comes down to doing the same five things over and over again. again and just focusing your attention on the things that are important and without getting too sophisticated, but to remember the excitement that exists in stillness, as I would like to say it, you should have strategic victories that are put into every aspect of your day, so I want to say that one of the first victories you can have in the morning is to take a cold shower.

The mornings where I take a cold shower it's like I was taking a shower anyway, but this time I did. the cold shower you realize, oh psychologically, I've done something that a lot of people don't do, it was a small thing but it was good for me and so it enhances that part of the day that makes you feel a little more like a winner or later on the day, okay, I'm just going to take a 90 second break before I do squats again and I'm going to focus on perfect form, like thinking about form as

best

I can when I'm in the gym I don't just do the movements, in I am actually completing this act as an intention, as a kind of practiced performance of how I want to live my entire life.

In fact, I started doing this throughout my life. One day, if I'm talking to a client of mine that I like, sometimes I answer that call and tell myself okay, I'll be the best coach I can be for the next hour, like maybe part of this day was inefficient. , but I. I'm really going to dial this in and stick to it, so right now, if someone saw me, this moment would be like this amazing reflection of me, every phase of your day should have little victories built into it, a lot of this just comes down to planning, you're planning your day, your visual, executing your day, then also planning strategic wins throughout your day and your energy levels and your focus and your ability to have courage will be higher than ever.

The fourth secondary idea is a bit. It's more long term, but it's pretty important and it's the Hunt goals that waver on the line between you being 100% confident you can achieve them and also being scary and exciting, they just waver on that line, so I don't believe in having sure goals. Well, actually it's not that that's not a real goal, so if you feel 100% confident that you can achieve something, I mean, you should still pursue it, but often it's not enough to generate momentum or enthusiasm, your goals They should both be super achievable. they're like yeah, yeah, I think I'm pretty sure I can do this, but it's also exciting, exciting enough to be like oh uh and I have to play these games with myself all the time to stay motivated and I didn't mind wearing things. superficial things to set as a goal, like for a while having a fancy car, it was like a superficial materialistic goal, but it motivated me to work harder and now it's the same.

I mean, maybe I really need to dial back, but now it's like I want James Bond's watch. I've had this watch, the Amiga sea Master, on my vision board for many years since I was like a broke actor and I think, hmm, what kind of success would I have to achieve to feel comfortable. getting this watch is fine, it's an interesting goal to set. I think I can do it. Yes, is it big enough to be exciting? Yeah, definitely, definitely, you set goals that are like 100 achievable but also exciting and you keep them at the front of your mind now.

The wrong way to do this is to set goals that are completely out there, they're just too big, they're too lofty or goals that are so small that you're sure I can achieve them, but as it was. I'm going to achieve them anyway it's a matter of fact, I'm not really excited whenYou think about your goals, you want to feel like you're on the edge of a cliff and you're going to jump, it's like doing a base jump. With your goals you think I'm probably going to survive this, but I'm also a little scared. Balance that line because reflecting on the objectives with that intention will make you feel more successful.

The final idea I want to share with you. This first principle is that you must decide and engage in occasional acts of bravery. Every now and then you should be afraid of something and you should do it like in my case. I've never done a cold approach before, to be honest I haven't really needed to. because if I wanted to go on a date I would find a lot of success with the apps, but this summer I thought I didn't want to use the apps, so it was the first time in my life that I was able to approach someone and literally my leg was shaking, it was It's embarrassing to say it, but as soon as I approached this person, I liked everything that came to mind and my leg was shaking.

I'm glad she didn't notice her, but I got pretty nervous about it. It was an occasional act of bravery, in the same way that riding a motorcycle on the road for the first time and going to join a biker gathering was terrifying. I had never been more focused on staying alive, but it was an act of courage and when I came home after that and found a new part of my identity, sure it's a small thing, sure you got on a motorcycle and drove a little, what's the problem, that caused a change of identity and I participated in real acts of courage, it's just scary, it's deeply uncomfortable, no matter what, but if you can somehow do that and get on the other side of those actions , it is very, very stimulating, all of this was in service of the first principle, which is to feel like more. of a winner, literally create victories for yourself throughout the day before moving on to two other smaller ideas.

I want to thank the sponsor of this video, the sponsor is myself, the captain of the Integrated YouTuber Group Training Academy, now the first callout cohort of the academy has started. I'm working with a handful of people who are committed to getting 100,000 subscribers in a year and I, as a coach, am also a student of the program. It's been really great because we're so focused. and we have a big brain like Inner Circle Mastermind and we're just helping each other Elevate, I know you're all going to make great strides, a lot of my coaching clients with YouTube it's like they started winning subtly from the beginning. one of my clients that I am very proud of his name is Kevin his channel is called Captain free mind if you watch his videos from two and a half months ago until now you will see that the thumbnails have improved a lot and also Beyond that, his authentic delivery, There's something very honest, honest, clean and masculine about the way he does it now, whereas in the past it seemed like he was afraid of the camera.

Being a YouTuber has many things that are under the surface, how can you? Explain authenticity and people might say oh, but it hasn't generated more views right away, but my students and people in my cohort are racking up these little victories as content creators and they're getting better and it's almost like I know the progress. It's coming for everyone in the cohort and everyone who strives, so if you want to grow your own YouTube channel, we're about to close the first slot for the cohort, but cohort 2 will start in November and I encourage you Apply now if you want to grow a YouTube channel let's have a conversation let's see if we're a good fit and as someone who's been a YouTuber for four years there are so many things I wish I'd known that in those first two years I would have saved so much. time in the creation process and I literally learned the rules of the game much earlier, all success in the world of business and finance and many aspects of life is knowing how the game works, a lot of these things, it's just a game, it's very A serious game, but the reason someone else is getting results that you might not get is because they just learned the framework, they learned the rules of that world and then they started practicing them and then they got in line to follow those rules long enough to see them for a long time. long term results, so if you learn the rules, get in line, the results will eventually come, as Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, do it and you will have the power, if you learn how the game works, you will eventually have the power to grow a audience, so if you learn how the game works, you will eventually have the power to grow an audience.

Growing your own YouTube channel is something you've been working on and want to learn. There is an application in the description box to sign up for individual training or the Group Training Academy. With me we can have a quick relationship. 45 minute consultation call together figure out what your goals are figure out what's realistic but still exciting make a plan and execute principle number two to increase testosterone and this is going to seem, I mean it's going to seem potentially embarrassing or out of place , but that's the idea of ​​putting yourself in an environment of beautiful women, I know it sounds superficial or I don't know how it actually sounds, but it's backed up, there was a study that investigated the impact of female presence on male testosterone levels and their risk taking. behaviors, the subjects were actually like young skaters and what they discovered is that they were asked to do their tricks similar to skating, either in front of a male researcher or in front of an attractive young researcher of 18 years old and the attractiveness of the female researcher. was evaluated by 20 independent researchers.

The men who rated her from one to seven seven were very, very attractive and what they found is that actually the testosterone levels were crazy, when the researcher was present, they were 39 higher, 39 higher, so it's like why focus on minutiae like eating a bunch of garlic even though I support eating a bunch of garlic to increase your testosterone levels, but this is important when the skaters, according to the researcher, were taking greater risks in their tricks and in particular this resulted in more success as they pulled off cooler tricks but also. There were more accidents, researchers speculate that men take more risks when an attractive woman is present in an attempt to impress her and thus increase their dating potential.

Of course, that makes a lot of sense, even as someone who understands these principles and almost knows feel like You know, I'm over them. I still feel susceptible to them. It's like I'm at the gym and I'm just boxing, doing heavy back work for a while and then a girl walks by the gym and I find myself literally hitting the bag harder. Does this mean I think you should ogle women and be a creep and stare at them? No guy like me. I want you to be great at this, but I think there's an advantage to placing yourself in environments where the company and the community is attractive, there's something attractive about the group, something about that association just makes you better.

The third idea is actually very quick and very tactical, but it's really important. One thing I found in my testosterone research efforts over the last few years. is that you can't really increase testosterone that much even if you do nofap, you know it increases after seven days but it's pretty tiny and then it goes back down but the only thing that will have a drastic effect on your testosterone levels is sleep. So the third principle is that you should sleep in the cold and dark for as long as you can. The ideal is to wake up naturally and simply sleep in a very cold and very dark environment.

Stay away from blue light at night. This is an idea that I haven't always honored, but when I do, when I sleep well, obviously, performance skyrockets. Cutting back on sleep dramatically reduces a healthy young man's testosterone levels, according to a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Jama, and it's pretty. Importantly, if you sleep less than five hours in a given night, it is enough to reduce your testosterone levels by the same amount as aging by 10 to 15 years, so getting enough sleep is like one of the fastest levers to control your testosterone levels. being as high as possible, however, is important because testosterone levels across the board are declining for some reason from the 70s until now, our testosterone levels have fallen from 800 to 600 nanograms per deciliter, this could be due to increase in plastics. and all that, we don't get as much sunlight, we're more glued to our screens, but the thesis of this video essentially is that there's a mental and psychological component to testosterone that you can take advantage of if you're new to the channel.

The name is Nikhil, this channel is a combination of personal development videos for creatives, lifestyle challenges, comedy sketches and more, if you like this video. If it appeals to you, consider subscribing, but that being said, those of us who stay healthy and fit, let's keep it that way. State where our desire is stronger than our fear so that we can perform more acts of bravery. I say greatness comes next time abroad.
