583580 tn?1231136383 I do cardio and I try to lift weights but theres my problem. Everytime I start a lifting program even though its low weight more reps I gain mass. This frustrates me cause it doesnt go away. I dont lose inches or weight I get bigger. Whenever this happens I stop lifting cause I dont want to get bigger. I know they say that a woman cant get bigger because she just doesnt produce the same hormones as a man but why would I be gaining mass if this were so.
Avatar f tn Start a sensible weight-lifting program. This is how to naturally increase your testosterone level. You want to start weight lifting with small weights. You don't want to start big because the object is to slowly build the big muscles and the small stabilizer muscles correctly from the start, learning correct form. That's how you get strong and avoid injury. You don't even need weights; you can use your own body weight. Youtube has videos that can get you started.

Avatar m tn Hi Joey, odd name for a mum, he can start by doing weight lifting, and lots of heavy work outs, for him the safest thing for his age would be Tribulus as its just a herb and would take around 8 weeks to get to full power.

Avatar n tn Hi Winty, you could raise your testosterone by weight lifting, get down the gym and pump some iron, you can google that and see what type of exercises are best, or you could try some tribulus, its good for raising testosterone, I take it for my ED recovery, if you can get some in herbal form, make a big pot of green tea and tribulus, let it steep over night and drink through the next day, I di it once a week, and take it with ginger lemon and honey, and I'm also on capsules twice daily.

Avatar m tn however, beginning in august, i started to lose weight. i was not lifting very much, but i was playing soccer and still active. when wrestling season began weighed 170 pounds and dropped about 10 to make 160. however, every week would be a battle because i would gain back 8 or so and have to lose it all. once that season ended, i found myself weighing 164, then 162, then 159, and finally as low as 156. this prompted a trip to the doctor, and blood test, revealing low TSH.

Avatar f tn I'm 21yrs old and 9 weeks pregnant. I work for an airline and sometimes lift 50lbs bags at check in. I've heard lifting heavy weight can be bad and lead to miscarriages. However I've also heard that because I have done this job for the past 2 years I should be fine because my body has adapted to it. I told management and they said the only thing they could do is congratulate me...

Avatar m tn I regularly exercise via weight lifting and cardio and can’t seem to lose weight or gain muscle. My total cholesterol is 182, but triglycerides are 185 and my LP is very high at 74. LP should be less than 30. Some days my joints ache and I have some muscle pain. Actually, I am generally in good health and very active. I am wondering if someone can tell me what I might expect from endocrinologist visit and what the likely treatment will be if any?
Avatar m tn I know that my testosterone is low for my age. I plan on losing excess weight and see what happens from there.

Could my testosterone level be causing my ed?
