Maintaining Testosterone As We Age

As you know, testosterone is a steroid hormone that's necessary to maintain a healthy body in both men and women, far more so for us guys. It helps us keep our bones strong, our libido enhanced and strengthens our immune system. As we get older (35+), it starts to drift downward little by little each year, sometimes faster depending on our lifestyle choices or the body's inability to produce over time. Some people have a very healthy lifestyle and have solid levels of testosterone but also for others, even if they tried living with healthy choices like foods and exercise, it can still drift. It happens and the body can be unpredictable to how we react to certain things.

We mostly have this major increase in testosterone when we hit puberty. Remember those days, where even a kiss on the cheek from a pretty girl can make the soldier salute or if the wind blew a certain way? When it starts to go south, that's where a number of problems can occur like low sex drive, so tired consistently it's almost like you want to go into a deep sleep like Briar Rose from Sleeping Beauty and worst of all; losing our strength. Low testosterone can also increase chances of obesity.

We want to maintain it and keep it as high as we can regardless of how old we are. Now there's such a thing as having over-kill levels of testosterone which can make us either too aggressive to near violent and it can put us in dire strait on our body's system. It's about balance and hitting a solid high mark. Numbers can vary but we need to produce just enough to stay healthy. 

Certain factors beyond aging can develop low levels of testosterone such as negative stress, over-inducing alcohol, smoking (this includes Vaping), lack of training and use of steroids over an extended period of time. If changes need to made, do what's possible. Utilize High Intensity Interval Training 1-3x a week, be in fresh air more often, make dietary changes to where you're developing a greater form of eating protein in natural foods like meats, chicken (personally, T-Bone & Bison are awesome) and other foods. Training formats such as Sprint Training, Isometrics, Circuit Conditioning & Carrying Heavy Objects boost spikes of testosterone. 

Sometimes, guys need or could benefit from Supplements as long as they maintain healthy habits. It's that small extra push to drive into a touchdown of scoring levels of testosterone. Herbal Supplements such as Pine Pollen, Tongkat Ali & even something like Alpha MAX Test . With supplements utilizing as natural ingredients as possible, we can build on giving our body's it's natural release of testosterone without having to resort to steroids or Testosterone Replacement Therapy. Be mindful and keep an eye on your health especially in your sex organs. We want to keep that drive going and have powerful libidos, strength that lasts and energy that keeps us going for a long time. 

Be healthy guys and stay strong. Keep being amazingly awesome. 

The Root Bodybuilders Wish They Knew

I don't know if you knew this but bodybuilders are quite often on the verge of being the cutting edge of Nutrition. They don't just do whatever it takes to get ahead of the game like injecting and pumping themselves full of illegal drugs like synthetic steroids, they're also gunning for what's even better. For those that choose to not go to the dark side it becomes an even greater importance.

If you dig deep enough in the Bodybuilding World, you'll be hearing about all kinds of natural herbs that very powerful effects. One of those mighty herbs is called the Maral Root. Its name comes from a kind of deer called the Maral Deer that feed on it. To be specific, the male would battle another male during the mating season, then it would dig out the roots, eat them and restore its strength. The Locals noticed this odd behavior and started using the roots themselves for the following reasons:

*Recover Optimally
*Heal (Recover) From Various Ailments
*Last Longer In The Sack
*Improve Mild Depression
*Enhance Or Even Increase Memory
*Greater Work Capacity
*Increase Adaptogenic Properties
*Enhance Anabolic Properties

In Russia, it is prescribed to their athletes to aid in recovery from intense training. Many people heard of the Chinese Olympic Athletes such as swimmers and those in track that won a ton of Gold Medals used Cordyceps. This wasn't the ONLY herb that they ingested, they also took in Rhodiola, Eleuthero and of course Maral Root. Now what makes this root so damn POWERFUL?

It has quite a few different natural plant sterols that really do the trick. One such substance is called 20-Hydroxycdysone which increases what are called protein synthesis at the most cellular level in the body. This leads to greater muscle tissue. Maral Root also has what are called ecdysterones, a hormone that is usually found in insects and crustaceans, not usually in us humans. This type of component has been seen to show many Physiological effects and could at least be partially responsible for its anabolic activity.

The Inspiration Of A Half Man Half Goat

    

     In various religions, there is a symbol of man of with horns on his head and goat legs; they like to think of this creature as a sign of the devil and that evil lurks in all those that look like him. The Satyr however is more so the opposite in my opinion. His story if you look at Greek/Roman mythology (Roman would call this Satyr Faunus) is a tale of living life to the fullest. Letting our desires become a reality in a loving and free-spirited fashion. Living life being who you are, love whom you want and celebrating until you are no longer on the earth. Does that sound like a symbol of the Devil to you? I'm not against anyone who has religious points of view but I don't like certain views that makes it sound like it's trying to control everyone and make them feel unworthy because they don't believe in what you do. Pan really loves all kinds of things (especially Nymphs but that's another story) and doesn't want you to feel unworthy. Sure we have urges that we could balance out but not controlled.

 
    Pan is a dancer and uses music as his voice. However no matter how much study I put into on this awesome symbol of love and celebration he'll always sound Irish in my head for some reason, I'll let you sink that in for a second. Back to the task at hand, one of the key aspects of his life playing the "Pan" Pipes and dancing is that he does it with passion and incredible strength and agility. Most who look at Ballet Dancers think of this prissy, stuck up and bad acting when in fact if you look close enough, Ballet has pound for pound the strongest legs in the world because it's not just tip toeing around a stage, it's using graceful skill and using the legs as the voice of the play that is taking place. Salsa Dancers at their best are absolutely incredible and the women with their beautiful bodies and amazing strength to move in ways that can make a man blush (it happens trust me). For women, they move in ways no man can and I'm not saying this to be sexist, men can move too but have to move more weight because we are denser and have greater amount of hormones being thrown out. Dancers in reality are known for not just incredible leg strength, agility and flexibility but how they use them with undeniable passion.

 
    When it comes to leg training, nothing builds your natural hormone levels greater. The leg muscles are the strongest in the human body and can withstand greater stress than any other parts. One of the best basic forms of building leg strength is the squat. Now granted I'm not just talking putting a barbell on your back and going up and down, there are many variations of the squat. One of my favorite exercises is the way Sumo Wrestlers do their squats; We know that Sumo guys are these big, humongous beasts that are mostly covered with fat and look like they can't move around very well, truth is they may not have great endurance but their legs are incredibly strong and very agile. Believe me do 100 Squats Sumo Style and you'll be feeling wobbly afterwards, they're tough. Beyond the squat, there are sprints, lunges, wall sits, jumping and moving like a wild animal; think of moving like a frog, a kangaroo, a stalking lynx or hopping with great power like a Jack Rabbit, your legs will become stronger, your tendons will burst with strength and your explosiveness is off the charts. Your Growth Hormone will shoot up and this will help you gain strength, build a powerful metabolism and help you stay young. Wouldn't that be awesome?

 
    Leg training when you do it correctly and not risking injury or trying use so much that you tear something; you extend your energy to your sex organs. Wow did I really just write that, did I break the fourth wall? Sex is a beautiful thing, sure there are idiotic ways of showing it but true and passionate sex is incredible. When you learn to do incredible training with the legs it jump starts the system in that area more than anything else. Add in flexibility training and you got yourself a winner. It's not all about how much muscle you have or how flexible you are (it does help in some ways) it's about how you bring that passion and energy into it and then using that energy for something else. It's learning to channel yourself and understanding how you balance yourself. It's different for each individual but the common theme is that good and smart leg training will lead you to great health in many forms. No matter your age, you can increase your hormones naturally if you apply yourself the correct way for you. So next time you think Pan is the devil and all that, think of it in a different perspective. The power he possesses with his legs can actually show you ways of strengthening your body that you didn't think of before. Love one another and share this incredible life with as many people as possible and channel your energy in a very positive and productive way.

 
Happy Monday everyone and get your hands one of the most unique systems on the planet the Pan Program.
