this is from my archives so some abbreviations but you should be able to make out what it's saying...maybe get it checked at the doctors to detirmine how low it is if indeed it is
Testosterone Boosting Foods
• 1 – Oysters (protein, magnesium, zinc…1 serving 1/week raw, cooked or tinned)…2 – Lean Beef (protein, iron, magnesium, zinc, saturated fat…2-3/week)…3 – Beans (protein, fibre, zinc…baked, lima, haricot, kidney, tinned)…4 – Poultry (protein with little fat…4 – 5/week)…5 – Eggs (protein, CHO…3 – 4 whole eggs for breaky with olive oil or fat free cooking spray)…6 – Cottage Cheese (protein with little fat…low fat, 225g/day)…7 – Broccoli (indole – 3 – carbinol, fibre…eat as much as you can)…8 – Cabbage (indole- 3 – carbinol, fibre…as much as you can)…9 – Brussels Sprouts (indole – 3 – carbinol, fibre…as much as you can)…10 – Garlic (allicin…whole cloves)
Testosterone Herbs (cp)
• suma, korean ginseng, jiaogulan, maca, muira puima, tribulus terristris, catuaba…rotate every 10 – 14 days
Tribulis
• Increases T 50% which promotes protein synthesis which increases mass and strength
Increasing T Naturally
• Under normal circumstances your body regulates T every day peaking in the morn and at its lowest late evening…low T levels can lead to decreased energy, increased body fat, inability to concentrate and decreased strength and muscle…4 natural factors you can focus to increase T is diet with 40c, 40p, 20f…training doing 10 x 10 @ 60 – 70%, 3mins rest for 1 exercise that can produce 25 times more GH…supp’s including eurycoma, 2/day x 300 – 400mg x 4 – 8 weeks), 6 – oxo x 600mg/day for 3 – 4 weeks, tribulis x 375mg, 2/day x 4 – 8 weeks with 60% saponins and 20% protodioscin, ZMA containing 30mg zinc, 450mg magnesium and 10.5mg B6, p-450 hesperetin (which decreases estrogen as T turns to estrogen as you age) x 200mg/day at least…sample diet…1 – bowl oatmeal, ½ grapefruit, flaxseed oil, 8 egg omlet (3 whole, 5 whites), 16oz milk, 1g VC…2 – meal replacement, 16oz milk, 1cp strawberries…3 – 2 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, apple or banana, 16oz water, 1g VC…4 – meal replacement, 1`6oz milk, flaxseed oil…5 – whey, 16oz water, T boost supp 90mins pre…train…6 – 2 x whey / carb shake post…7 – 10oz whole wheat pasta, 6oz meat, mixed salad with oil, 16oz water…8 – grape nuts with low fat cerial, 1cp raisins, 12oz milk…9 – 1 x T boost supp, multi tablet, 1g VC before bed…do Maximal Hormonal Response Training – 1 – Bench 1 x 20 @ 20%, 9 x 10 @ 60 – 70%, 90 – 120secs rest…Squat…2 – light cardio, abs…3 – Bent Row, OH…4 – light cardio, abs…5 – BB Curl, Close Press, Stifflift 1 x 20, 4 x 10…6 – light cardio, abs…7 – off…only do for 21 days at most…decrease each week but keep sets at 10…only do 3 – 4 times/yr…increase post protein to take advantage of T spike |

| That's very thorough, except I don't understand why the part that says increasing Test naturally, then stipulates a Test Booster in the 9th meal? |

| i haven't actually read it for years but it may be there of the circadian clock???...know what i mean??...where T is raised at various times of the day and at this time it may be one of those...i actually saw one the other day but can't remember the times...also it may just be for initial stages but still i'm not real sure |

Yes, I have a vague understanding of Circadian Rhythms. Sleep being one of those I believe.
I can understand the use of a Test booster, but I couldn't call it natural, though I don't disagree with it being listed in that regime, I think it could potentially not be needed.
It's just a case of sleep time promoting a drop in most biological things, like Brain activity, Bloodsugar etc etc and usage of certain other uncommonly used human resources, like Muscle for energy. |
