I should also mention that I've been working out, eating heathier and wholer foods, completely stopped drinking soda, and other shit to "naturally" increase testosterone. No effect
Jaxon Murphy
Dont sleep and drink some alcohol tonight.
Blake Cooper
When is your appointment?
>no sleep prior to test, only 4 hours the day before that >drink all day long the day prior. Keep a solid buzz >heat your nads with a heating pad >if you've got a few weeks do a prohormone cycle then hop off a few days prior to crash your levels
David Perry
Fap like four times the day before also. Try to catch a cold.
Luis Clark
Don't sleep the night before Drink a lot of alcohol over a course of time Smoke marijuana Eat licorice or more specifically the licorice root
Don't take prohormones. It will tank your LH and FSH as well which might make the doc suspicious. It depends on what kind of hypogonadism you've got.
Yeah, get sick.
Be stressed. Eat a lot of polyunsaturated fat Don't eat anything with zinc in it Don;t get enough vitamin D
Jason Richardson
stimulants.coffee, adderall, cocaine etc.
Charles Gomez
How much does marijuana lower testosterone?
Jordan Evans
Acutely by a third. It reaches peak suppression around 4-6 hours post smoking.
A lot of the science is out on chronic use but I'd believe it.
Aaron Ramirez
h-hey guys...how do I BOOST my testosterone??
Ryder Stewart
Don't cheat the test. Fire your Dr and get a new one. One that will treat your symptoms not a number.
Joshua Perez
Oh shit does licorice root lower test? I've been chewing on one for weeks, that shit tastes godly.
Gavin Miller
Yeah buddy. Can up to halve it. One of the main components inhibits two of the synthesis enzymes.
There have been a couple of studies and the average value for the drop is ~26%. It takes like a week after you stop to restore your levels
Wyatt Johnson
Lol. Do the opposite to what's been posted
Nicholas Morgan
FUCK ME SILLY
Ayden Sanchez
Explain why I get hornier after using cannabis.
Christian Thomas
because a million things affect your sex drive, not just testosterone. Contrary to Veeky Forums it's not the only hormone in your body.
Dylan Gray
Go on an alcohol binge for a week and drink beer and hardly eat and also take some opiates during your binge and don't sleep before going to the doctor. Guaranteed you'll have low test
Brody Gutierrez
>Smoke marijuana
found the retard
Carson Walker
This 100%
I was an alcoholic and got wasted everyday for around 3 years and my test was low as fuck
Josiah Taylor
Nice bro science. I don't even smoke weed anymore, but still know that this is complete bullshit.
My test levels were the same during the peak of my weed use and after I quit. Things like heavy lifting and a good diet and maintaining an active sex life was all I needed for high test levels.
Alexander Bailey
Lmao for real.
Jonathan Reed
You have no idea if your test levels were peak or not during the peak of your weed use dumbass. Espescially if you were in your late teens early twenties.
Henry Collins
>Explain why it was really cold during Christmas even though it was supposedly the hottest year on record This is what you sound like.
Owen Young
>Last time I tested 374 Perhaps you should just get a new doctor, because your current one is retarded.
>Yes, this patient has the average test of a 70 year old man. That's totally within spec since we average all males 18-70.
Jack Phillips
Low test beta numale spotted. This is why you'll never make it.
Gavin Powell
Nope. Unfortunately most doctors only care if they're in ''healthy'' range. Which is high 200s all the way to 800-900.
>dyels think the test they get from the doctor is going to be anywhere fucking close to the level you use for bodybuilding You're not even going to qualify, you'll lower your test by some insignificant margin doing this shit, and will still be within a healthy range. Then even if you do the amount they give you is just going to bring you up to normal levels, the amount for actual bodybuilding is like 10x the normal range.
Dominic Phillips
It's not like everyone is trying to get bodybuilder tier. Raising your test at all helps with lifting and looking better, this is just a fact. Not only that, higher test raises your entire quality of life.
Bentley Johnson
> improving your test to normal levels is stupid because it won't give the same results of steroids
maybe some guys just want an improved quality of life
Lucas Ross
I'm interested in this because if I can get a low enough score to be diagnosed, I'll have Tricare paying for it for the rest of my life.
Landon Sanders
If they have to actively crash their levels to qualify for TRT, odds are they aren't getting any quality of life improvements.
Angel Thompson
what test level (number) does Veeky Forums think is too low, and you should get TRT? or start shooting your own test in your ass?
Jacob Perez
Sub 400 is pretty standard, but really its up to you. You could be mid 400's and still have symptoms of low test.
Just get your body fat low so that you don't become an estrogen factory.
Jeremiah Fisher
Eat lots of liqourice for a a week or so
Jason Gutierrez
Dude I tested 374 I'm really just looking to be in normal range, I don't need to be at 1300 fucking roid mode
Robert Martin
Does masturbation do anything? If I jack off before I go, will my T be lowered?
Evan Cook
1300ng/dl is still natural albeit probably in the 99th percentile, roids put you at like +3k. If you're really at 375 it is low, but test levels fluctuate, may have been an unlucky test, and even if it's not, the stuff they're gonna give is going to be such an insignificant boost it'll do next to nothing for mass building, it'll probably make you feel better and that's about it.
Cooper Robinson
THATS WHY
Gavin Smith
The other thing is that numbers lie. Two people with the same serum testosterone levels can have very different outcomes depending on free test levels, sensitivity, etc.
Anthony Clark
>Last time I tested 374 >and my doctor said I was fine
well there's your problem right there. switch doctors
Caleb Wilson
No, unless your pumping out 900 then you're basically a woman kekkekekek
>Veeky Forums
Luke Collins
>tfw 550 ng/l but SHBG is high
Jace Morris
Does it say how much licorice should I take? Cause I hate it
Camden Cook
not just any alcohol drink some really hoppy beer or some wheat beer.
Jacob Ward
drink a lot of soy
Wyatt Sanders
don't eat, don't sleep.
Bentley Hall
Join a BLM protest, have sex with men and get on twitter and tell everyone how evil white men are. Seems to do the trick.
Anthony Williams
I had a test done as was in the high 200's which unfortunately was just above the minimum "healthy" range, but my doctor decided to put me on the gel anyway. Since getting on TRT about 2 years ago I've noticed a lot of benefits of having a higher baseline of testosterone - better mood and wellbeing, more aggressive in the gym and in person (not roid rage, just not a pushover), better sleep, etc. It isn't going to help you at all in the gym unless you were seriously deficient and even then it's just gonna get you up to normal. The only thing is when you're cutting it's basically cheat mode since your test won't crash like it would naturally.
tl;dr you're mostly right, but it does have benefits
Jayden Williams
I should probably read through these before I post them
>more aggressive in the gym >It isn't going to help you at all in the gym
You will want to push yourself harder, but you will not see any massive increase in hypertrophy or strength, is what I was trying to say here.
Jason Perez
Stimulants lower test?
Levi Cooper
OP here, just gave blood after a night of booze, coke, and weed. Also skipped breakfast this morning
Nicholas James
Those are symptoms of low test, not causes Mongoloid
Elijah Gray
If abused they can increase cortisol via stress, which lowers test. Being on therapeutic doses of stimulants or drinking a cup of coffee in the morning won't do this. Tweaking out on shit will.
Carter Watson
This is only for licorice. Says nothing about marijuana, which is what I'm assuming most people are curious about.
