Can’t fault any of these tips. The biggest determinate for me seems to be nutrition. If I slip on my diet, no amount of sleep will save me. Alternatively, if my diet is on point I am moving and grooving on 5 hours of sleep with energy to spare to kill it in the gym that evening.
A side note, I don’t track my T-levels but rather track my energy levels as it seems to be a good, easy marker to monitor daily. If my energy levels are high, then I assume my T-levels are also chugging along smoothly.
Those sound good and yeah as long as my energy, sex drive, and “zest for life” are up and going then I assume my test levels are good.
Good article as always! One thing people keep pushing is heavy weight
training, 20 -30 years ago men had higher levels of testosterone, because men still worked manual labor jobs, now everyone sits. Lifting can be as easy as training with a moderately heavy rock, lifting, carrying, dragging and pulling things in the yard.
Check out this short workout at 49 I am still lean, and I also work manual labor.
Thanks Johnny. So true amazing how little some people move through out their day to day lives. And good stuff Johnny,
Hi Charles.Thanks to your articles i have burned a lot of fat on the time i broked my arm…now my abs are showing but i have a smaller body frame than before.-…Yesterday i was abilitated to workout again with my arm but i was thinking if i should put some fat again to look more big and strong…i must be on 12 percent bodyfat right now.It will have consecuences on my test levels if i raise it to 14 or 15?
12 isn’t horrible.Wouldn’t go much lower for hormones sake at least not for a long amount of time. I doubt it’ll have a huge effect but certainly wouldn’t hurt.

My go-to meals for the week are chicken fajitas made in my crockpot. The recipe (courtesy of my site’s co-author, J. Nyx) is in this article: https://www.akingscastle.com/2017/05/23/married-monk-mode/
