Testosterone is a really hot topic right now when it comes to muscle gains. I receive questions on a daily basis about what members can do to increase their T levels, so I decided to do a two part series all about “Testosterone” and “Testosterone Boosters”. The key fact is that testosterone is crucial to maximizing your muscle gains!

In today’s discussion we’re going to talk about the role testosterone plays when it comes to gaining muscle and how you can maintain an optimal level of T in your system with proper eating and healthy living habits.

In the next article I am going to analyze in detail natural testosterone boosters as a supplement to see whether or not they really work.

However, before I even start with today’s discussion, I want to make it perfectly clear that there is no secret you’re missing out on. There is no way to dramatically increase your T levels for unrealistic muscle growth unless you are taking synthetic steroids. With that being said, these are tips are for you to maintain your testosterone at an optimal level naturally to support your muscle growth.

What is testosterone?
Testosterone or T, is the male sex hormone which is primarily produced in the Leydig cells of the testicles for males and in the ovaries for woman. So why is testosterone so important? It’s important because it regulates and influences critical functions of your body. For example, when it comes to fitness testosterone helps to increase protein synthesis which leads to more muscle production. Testosterone also increases your sex drive, fat burning, heart health, aggression and cognition.

How does testosterone help with muscle growth?
By exercising through resistance training we cause damage to our muscle fibers and the body responds to that damage by repairing our muscle tissue adding new protein strands. The addition of more protein strands causes the muscles to become bigger and stronger. This is known as protein synthesis. So how does testosterone help this process? T binds itself to the receptors on the surfaces of your muscle cells to amplify the signals that result in protein synthesis. So without an adequate amount of T, your body’s ability to signal for protein synthesis will be reduced.

Keep in mind that testosterone also stimulates Growth Hormone (GH) release which is another anabolic hormone that helps with muscle growth. We will talk about this more in a later discussion.

How does your body make testosterone?
Cholesterol is the primary “ingredient” for your body to produce testosterone. Cholesterol is broken down into intermediate hormones like DHEA and progesterone that ultimately are broken down further into T.

Keep in mind that this production and breakdown of T is a continuous reaction occurring in your body and there are times of the day where your T levels will be is higher and lower. So when you hear people say things like, I increased my T level by 40%, it doesn’t stay like that forever. There will always be ups and downs depending on a variety of factors.
