Between walking, jogging and running/sprinting, which one increases your testosterone the most? Or at least prevents it from going down.
I keep hearing that jogging or sprinting decreases it, and walking increases it. Is that true or is it just a meme? Because running feels way more satisfying to me than walking. I usually run really fast in short bursts (about 20 seconds or so), then walk for 30 seconds-1 minute, then run again, and do it off and on for about 15-20 minutes. It feels much better to me than walking for 30+ minutes. But is this helping increase my testosterone or decrease it?
High intensity interval training and lifting weights.
Bentley Anderson
Walking increases it, cuz when you run you get tired and drink more water. Water that turns frogs gay
Justin Young
Yes but I'm not talking about weights, I'm just referring to aerobic exercise.
Bentley Carter
Running/jogging is brainlet activity. It destroys your joints. Swim or biking are far superior aerobic activities that doesn't rape your body.

>Swim or biking are far superior aerobic activities that doesn't rape your body. This, I cycle for my cardio. 30 minutes every morning at 7, before my shower or breakfast. The perfect way to wake yourself up, without the need for caffeine.
Hunter Jenkins
jogging and long distance running (marathon etc) decreases test. Sprinting increases test
>biking HAHAHAHAHAHA low test soyboy detected, biking decreases test
swimming is ok, rowing is good for upper body, sprinting for legs
Caleb Clark
Cycling lowers testosterone though.
Owen Wright
>jogging and long distance running (marathon etc) decreases test. >Sprinting increases test Alright thanks. What about walking, does that increase or decrease it? And how much should I walk?
Sebastian Morris
But unlike caffeine the effects disappear after one hour.
Jeremiah Carter
idk but jogging is what we're designed to do, it's asphalt that's unnatural
Hudson Lewis
all of these are shit if you want hormonal boost: weightlifting if you want mood and cognitive boost: intense, long cardio
Cooper Rogers
>jogging and long distance running (marathon etc) decreases test Source? Source?
Lucas Cooper
I don't believe you, considering the fact I have fathered two children in quick succession and without any health issues.
Hudson Smith
exercise effect on testosterone is miniscule, regardless of its type and only lasts 15min-1h >inb4 source burden of proof is on people who claim it is significant
Lucas Rodriguez
What if you do short, intense bursts of cycling, similar to sprinting? Rather than just riding a bike normally for awhile?
Jack Barnes
>if you want mood and cognitive boost: intense, long cardio Any source on this? Legitimately curious.
Michael Ortiz
>But unlike caffeine the effects don't disappear after one hour.
Benjamin Powell
That wouldn't be aerobic anymore, that would anaerobic.
Henry Howard
>He doesn't cycle caffeine to keep his tolerance low
Alright, but would it be better or worse at increasing testosterone than just riding normally for a longer period of time?
William Hughes
So, for cycling, just keep riding for 30 minutes solid?
Kayden Davis
depends on your goals, but should be good if you want the optimal benefits you might want to increase the duration to ~45 minutes and make sure the intensity is constantly a tiny bit below the border between aerobic and anaerobic
Luke Rogers
the main reason why test decreses during cycling is because bike seat is literal test gland killer, if you cycle for 5 minutes while not resting your ass on the seat then it should be ok
Kayden Cox
So, 45 minutes intense aerobic cardio, 15 minutes flexibility training, 30 minutes strength training before breakfast, another 30 minutes of intense aerobic cardio just before lunch. A diet of 'loose' pescetarian mediterraneanism and occasional Swiss dairy diet, along with light consumption of tea for anticarcinogenic and neuroprotective properties and wine for cardiovascular health and I should be good, right?
Ian Sanders
What if I cycle for more than 5 minutes? What if I went for 20 or 30 minutes (but still not resting on the seat)?
Aiden Cook
*Or maybe not 20-30 minutes, but 10 or 15?
Brandon Myers
Well, that's one of my only options for cardio, as I have unilateral pes planus and don't want to utterly ruin my joints.
Josiah Allen
Why do you want high T OP? You'll die sooner and be a raging asshole. Having lots of testosterone isn't that great.
*Your life expectancy goes down the more T you have. Castration can add up to a decade to your life.
*You stick your dick in lots of questionable girls, some of whom turn out to be batshit insane and intent on ruining your life if you don't commit to them, which, with your high T, you're never going to want to do.
*You're fickle.
*You have a higher chance of injury.
*You get really pissed off at things and fantasize about doing incredibly destructive shit.
*You have boners like all the time and have to jack off or fuck at least once every day.
*You have to exercise every day or you get really restless and unable to focus on anything.
Last time I got tested my level was 1500ng/dL because I have some weird hyperplasia in my leydig cells that the doctors *say* is benign and I've experienced all of these things. Yeah, I run super fast and can move heavy shit around, but it's really not worth it.
Xavier Wright
I went ahead and actually researched it for a bit. there's absolutely nothing about biking lowering T. Go back to ur bropseudoscience hole.
Samuel Jenkins
You can use no nose bike seat and redistributes the weigh from your perineum to your buttocks, thus not pressuring the prostate.
Matthew Barnes
Are they cheap?
Landon Cruz
Thought so, thank you for confirmation, user.

I'm doing 3 XC ski 50ks this winter. It's way more manly than going to a gym, and I really don't care what effects it has on my endocrine system.
Cooper Perry
If you can do an iron Man you don't need to worry about your testosterone levels
James Sanchez
Thinks running destroys joints kek Solely swimming and biking will decrease bone density overtime kek
