Avatar m tn d change your split and do about 1 hour a day. After an hour of heavy weight training, your testosterone will lower, and cortisol will raise to give you energy. Cortisol screws with insulin, and raises glucose levels. So if you eat a revovery meal after with carbs, and that cortisol is still in your systems, it will spike blood sugar.
Avatar m tn Be careful with sports drinks, the might help you gain weight but they contain either a lot of fat and sugar or harmful sugar substitutes and lots of artificial ingredients that can be harmful as well. Eating added protein in your meals and weight training will add muscle, but if you just want to gain any kind of weight eat a lot of simple carbs. They will turn quickly to sugar and add fat to your body and are unhealthy, but you will gain weight.
1184700 tn?1266491688 I haven't posted on here in awhile and this time I have an actual question. I know testosterone levels decrease after years of opiate use. What happens to them after you withdrawal? The reason I ask is because I quit Methadone over a month ago and feel that my testosterone has increased to a rate higher than before the long-time opiate habit. I've been weight training so this is of some importance to me.
Avatar f tn Women do not have enough testosterone to become big and bulky. Weight training well help to tone your arms up. If you google arm workouts for women there are tons of resources.
Avatar n tn Rectus abdominus muscles like all muscles in your body require a rest from strength training, so allow 48 hours of recovery time between training sessions. Training twice per week is the minimum requirement, but you can achieve quicker results by training three alternate days each week. During each session, complete five different exercises, including basic crunch, bicycle crunch, reverse crunch, straight leg crunch and straight leg lowers.
Avatar m tn Multiple studies have shown that regular, high-intensity exercise keeps a man’s testosterone at optimal levels. A 1999 study examined how the effects of heavy resistance training in both young (23 to 35 years old) and older (58 to 65 years old) men affected their testosterone levels.20 Both groups saw a statistically significant increase in testosterone levels after exercise.
Avatar f tn While walking is great exercise, weight training will build muscle faster and as you build more muscle, you burn more fat.
Avatar n tn html It would be better if you can start exercises (resistance exercises, weight training) as you try to wean from Androgel. Exercise has been known to increase testosterone levels naturally. The back pain could be due to decreased calcium levels or weight gain. You will need to increase intake of calcium-rich foods so as to have a daily intake of calcium between 500-1000 mg. Insulin has been reported to interact with T from androgel, so discuss this with your physician if you are diabetic.
Avatar m tn Hi, anything which claims to be a muscle enhancer needs to be thoroughly investigated. Actually when you do weight training, the muscle fibers of your body gets hypertrophied i.e. increase in size due to repeated stretching and tension in it. As soon as you stop doing the work outs, the muscle fibers return to normal size at the process of hypertrophy is reversible. There is no increase in number of cells in the fibers which is called as hyperplasia and which is irreversible.
Avatar f tn ve always felt my drive was low but nothing like this. Could I have low testosterone or could it be something else?
Avatar f tn Hi fate then if you have low t, then get out weight lifting and heavy training like the caveman workout, both of these will lift your testosterone naturaly. if you can di that at your age it would be better for you than going on drug form, your doctor should tell you that. So dont weight get out there training.
Avatar m tn Do some weight training and cardiovascular training five or more days a week for 30 minutes. Testosterone is the male sex hormone. If it is low, so is your sex drive. A way to boost it is by eating foods that are high in zinc. Some of these include oysters, bananas, artichokes, blackberries and avocados. Stress and anxiety can cause a low sex drive and also lead to impotence.
Avatar n tn Rest about 30 sec and do a few more-- even just 2 at maximum weight. Rest than do even just one more. By now (if you are using enough weight) your muscle should be screaming. Eat protein within 1/2 hour of lifting. Drink a lot of water to flush the lactic acid out of the muscle. Then rest the next day, or work a different muscle group. Always let the muscles worked have a day to recover, or you'll just breakdown what you build up.
1970378 tn?1326124598 Are you including cardio in ur exercise or just weight training? Muscle adds weight. You should see an Endocrinologist because they specialize in hormone levels. Do u drink a lot of sodas? Tea is better for u. Certain meds can make weight loss difficult.
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 Find a diet that works for you, find an exercise routine that works for you, vary it -- blend cardio in with the weight training -- and alter it as you age as you need to. You'll get there without needing potentially unhealthful gimmicks. Now, where are you getting that testosterone?
Avatar m tn The more I researched about the possibility of weight loss and HCV treatment meds, I knew it would be the kind of weight loss I did not want if it happened to me. So far, I am not responding to the meds as well (virologically) as I would like- but I still have the sides. As we all know - a lot of sides will happen no matter what. Try a Google search on amino acid Glutamine (L-Glutamine).
Avatar f tn not really i have a hormonal desorder because i have endometriosis, my levels in progestorone, testosterone and strogen are to high. the doctor send me drink a naturals supplements kelp, dhea and progesterone cream for try to put my body in tractk.
Avatar m tn Your testosterone is apparently in the normal range. How do you know that this is low for your age? Also, losing weight only benefits can bring to you if you have it in excess. So, you mean here that you have 100 pounds more than normal for your age and height? That sounds to be a lot, especially combined with a sedentary job. Regardless of testosterone considerations, losing weight is a no-brainer in your case.
