Years of inactivity and sloppyness can prove to be a challenge recovering , especially when your goal is maxing testosterone levels and getting fit. Recovery requires a number of consideration, the most important of which are….

Know when to say when.

We all know guys who spend more than 2 hours a day in the gym, 5 or 6 days a week. If your an elite athelete, you have to train this hard. If you’re taking steroids, you can get away with it and see a quick benefit ; you’ll just pay later. But if you’re not training for the olympics or injecting hormones into your butt , it’s tremendously counter productive. Most trainers today believe that shorter is better and less workouts are better than more.

Eat right and eat right away

It’s generally recommended that you eat some protein and carbs an hour or two before a work out and again right after your training. The pre-workout protein spares the protein in your muscles , while the carbs provide energy. After workout protein and carbs stimulate insulin release, which express delivers the nutrients to your muscles for regeneration.

Use Vital Intensity : Work hard , and rest harder.

It’s up to you and only you to boost your own testosterone and do what it takes to accomplish it. That means maintaining consistent sleep patterns , staying away from alcohol as much as possible, drinking enough water, and limiting stress when you are able to within your power. It also means following a testosterone maxing diet, which gives you the nutrients needed to build your body, and limiting strenous activity on days you aren’t training on. To be on the safe side you should keep your cardio activity down to 30 minutes a day and no more than 3 or 4 times a week. Beyond that , cortisol buildup and overtraining will be an issue.
