I’m back to quoting Dr. James DiNicolantonio (Instagram: @drjamesdinic), whose insights usually have me nodding in agreement:
Lifting weights will fix your testosterone.
Going on walks will fix your anxiety.
Time in the sun will fix your mood.
Sufficient sleep will fix your low energy.
The right diet will fix your body.
There are no magic pills that will help you if you can’t get the basics right.
I would change the first one to “The RIGHT weight-training routine will fix your testosterone.” Why?
I’m convinced that when I became over-enthusiastic recently and began overtraining, it smacked down my testosterone—which is why I began losing muscle. I made adjustment, like cutting volume and going back to Speed Sets, as in the Old Man, Young Muscle workout, and my bodyweight went back up—from 180 to 192 without fat gain.
I recently had my testosterone checked with blood work, and it registered 703, impressively high for a 63-year-old—no hormone-replacement therapy or drugs whatsoever.
Short workouts with the right exercises and intensity is key; the efficient Old Man, Young Muscle workout can help fix your T—and also mood and anxiety to a degree.
GROW like never before: Get the complete Stretch-First POF Pre-Ex Workout as well as the Base-STX Workout, which both include the ideal exercise for each muscle and the best stretch and contracted add-on moves for mass, in Old Man, Young Muscle.
And you still get The Muscle-On, Belly-Gone “Diet” ebook FREE for a limited time when you add Old Man, Young Muscle to your mass-building library. Go HERE.
Till next time, train hard—and smart—for BIG results.
