Testosterone is the holy grail of muscle growth and defines the well being of a man. To simply put it testosterone is the most critical muscle building hormone in your entire body and is one of the main limiting factors that ultimately determines how much muscle you can build.

Use basic compound exercise as the cornerstone of your workouts at home or at the gym. Forget about bicep curls and tricep kickbacks and leg extensions.
Small isolation lifts do play a role in a complete weight training program but if you want to get the most effective results and stimulate the greatest testosterone increases from your body then you’ve got to focus on big basic compound exercises.
We’re talking about the proven bread and butter lifts like squats, deadlifts, bench presses, pull ups, dips, overhead presses, rolls, stiff legged deadlifts, and lunges.
These exercises are going to place your body under the greatest amount of stress of the gym and are going to naturally force your body to rev up it’s testosterone production as a natural adaptive response.
Studies have shown that HIIT increases Testosterone levels by 97% compared to 62% in low training intensity or steady state exercise. That’s a big difference.
Always train with a high level of intensity. If you want to see real muscle gains you have to be willing to train with real effort. If the last one or two reps of your set and don’t force you to dig down deep and train with almost 100% intensity of effort. Then you just aren’t training hard enough.
A low training intensity will stimulate low increase in testosterone from the body. So get serious if you really want to rev up your body’s production of testosterone.
Train your legs equally as hard as you train your upper body. The important thing for you to realize is muscle growth is not just a localized event that happens at the level of the specific muscles that you’re training during your workout.
Muscle growth also results as the entire body as a whole is placed under stress and is forced to adapt on a systemic level and there’s no better way to produce this total body stress than through the use of hard heavy intense leg workouts. It’s the biggest muscle in your body.
