- Working out does increase testosterone (T) levels - but not all exercise is created equal.
Moreover, if you’re trying to increase your testosterone levels, you may want to add other T level-boosting activities to your exercise program.
Keep watching to learn about the link between exercise and T levels, what exercises will (and won’t) increase your T levels (testosterone booster excercises), and how you can naturally increase your T levels.
Thanks for watching!!

Nice work
- Resistance training is better, endurance training releases cortisol which reduces T
- Use heaviest weights you can
- High volume
- Short resting periods
- Use free weights as opposed to machines (stabilizing muscles engaged)
- Lower body muscles have larger mass, so squats and deadlifts do more than benching
- Better not to go to failure, since that releases cortisol
- No conclusive proof on improvements to basal/resting T, although some correlations with losing fat content
- Older men have lower response, but there's sufficient evidence to still prove effective
Unfortunately I have some injuries so I can no longer lift heavy.
Heaviest weight you can but not to failure?
High volume? No no.
No type of training increase your resting test levels,its acute effect only and endurance exercise doesnt produce significant cortisol unless excessive volume and I intensity chronically like elite aerobic athletes. Most dummies on CZcams will think this means dont do any cardio.
Exercise as hard, as long and as often as possible. BUT remember to be listening to your body, mind and your energy levels/motivation so you avoid to overtrain which only will set you back in all aspects. Enjoy 😉
Good info, I am 75 this year been lifting weights for 50 years, still training twice per week now as recovery is slower due to age.
Respect
75 and strong.💪
Thats my goal. 75 and keep going 🔥
You old farts are giving me so much hope!! Haha!! Seriously though. 43 and always thought in my head not to listen to old age stigmas. Keep on keeping on!! Life can get better with age / experience!! 💪😁 Thanks

What a mind blower, going to failure is not necessarily better. Thank you for sharing Dr Rena!
Wow, I'm in my 60s and seeing those older men really set me back. I am ready to start back up after being away from weight training for a while. I spent years in the gym weight training but life sometimes gets in the way and things change. I really feel like I am still able to get good results with resistance training.
I hope you go back to the gym. It's never too late. I started training in my late 30's.
I have lifted haphazardly throughout my life, but at age 50, I started powerlifting. Now 56, it has changed my life. You are *never* too old to get the most from your body. Good luck, my friend.

Watch later
My total serum testosterone levels at 56 were 526 ng/dl, whereas now at 62 they are 611 ng/dl. The two main factors: I lost a lot of my visceral and subcutaneous fat along with a steady dose of workouts (5 - 6x/week).
Are you sure

This is still a new topic for researchers. I use to train 8 hours a week in mixed forms of training and my T-Levels were about 320. I would get tired and nap for a half hour and felt great. If you have a large belly that is the warning your body gives you to start eating less and moving more.
Where do you go to test your t-levels?
320 is on the lower side tho
Really you don't say
The facts that this Dr provides is absolutely amazing.
Absolutely love your channel! Best part of this video “that’s why you never skip leg day”. Love it!
A big Thank You Dr. Malik I really appreciate your knowledge and information to keep me headed in the right direction. At 56 I still feel like I'm 35 & often told I look like I'm 37-42 years young 👍🏽
Keep on sharing the good information 😊
What an excellent presentation. Didn’t expect a urologist to be so knowledgeable about exercise science. Found this better than any number of “so-called” weight training specialists.
What makes you think shes correct?
Not a single man , including the most trusted and highly rated and verified MEN on CZcams has yet to clearly and in such sincere and academic way , explain exactly what is actually true. You have done an IMACLUENT job help us (yet to be fit ) men achieve a clear and instructive understanding of natural way we humans ought to increase our T levels. May you be rewarded .
What an outstanding video! Having been training with weights for 35 years and being on TRT, I’m very impressed with your knowledge. I love your channel. ❤

Excellent, very informative, and complete.
Thank you Dr. Malik. This will serve as a guide for how I develop my weight room exercise routine. I appreciate the information that you share. You're the most trusted online source that I have.
Extremely accurate video. That comment Rena about “leg day” was spot on. I do two per week.
Thank you for the visuals. They helped me understand a lot!
Best sum-up video on the topic! Thank you very much!
Really helpful information without any fluff. Thank you!
@RenaMalikMD - You are a sweetheart in more ways than one! Thank you! ❤❤❤
1. Large muscle groups, heavy weights, but not to failure
2. Keep viseral fat down
3. Little rest between sets
It is working and I am in my 60s !!!!!
Also VERY inspiring to hear from guys that are older than me! Those 75+ WOW! 👍
This was brilliant and very helpful. Thank you Dr. Malik!
Probably one of the best, if not thee best video I've ever watched concerning this subject. Dr. Malik, you never disappoint.
This was comprehensive as hell! Thank you!
Great video! Thanks for this! I’m going to incorporate this info in my workouts. I like how at the end she more or less said; Get up and start doing exercise!
Wow you are a genius! I’m very grateful you broke this down better!! Makes sense!! I have a friend that does crazy endurance but looks the same !! I sent him your link !! I’ve been telling him the same thing !!
I just started working out and after weightlifting in the afternoon I noticed a huge surge in energy. Glad to know it increases testosterone
Wow - this is great! I am not a bodybuilder, but I am a believer in resistance training. Great info, thanks Dr. Rena!
Awesome video, very informative and motivating! thank you!👍
Dr . You’re all the motivation I need
this MD talk so clam and smooth, i found it is really relaxing my mine, thank you doc
That was an awesome discussion of a complex topic. Thank you so much 😊
Pick your pain or it will pick you. Am 40, and I feel amazing. Whats not been mentioned is the hormonic acute stress response of working out and Ice baths. Stress reduction is the goal. I Rewire my mind and dwell on the joy after a work out, this leads to me to stay consistant. Its not volume in one session, but volume of a lifestyle, consistancy is key for me.
how long you do ice bath? how often?
@@dimak76 you work into a real ice bath, your first few time the tub will spit you out, your goal 7 min. I take ten min cold showers now, I work outa town, soo, if its a Holiday inn, clean, I poor Ice into a bath, its a reset, you feel like you didnt work, plus my mood is much better.

Thanks, an awesome contribution again!
Great information, Doctor. I appreciate all you do for men’s health. A healthy testosterone level is extremely critical for a man’s health and wellness, especially as we age.
You are a brilliant Urologist.
Thank you for posting these facts!! It is hard enough to get up and exercise but knowing what works and why helps. I'm all in. 62 years old
That was a good one Dr. Malik, very helpful info to spread around.
Very helpful - even for a 76 year old male like me. I’ve been training with weights for several decades. The most important point for me was that a male is most likely to increase his testosterone when using the larger muscle groups such as the thighs and glutes.
I have done resistance training, Endurance training, cardiovascular training, HIIT, calisthenics, specifically for a longer period of time, I can surely tell what Dr. Told us is absolutely correct , plus resistance training and calisthenics are the two training with some cardio can make you beast🙌💪💪
Such great advice!! I was at the gym last year and was just chit chatting with this older gentlemen, early 40’s. He recommended this channel to me and when I told him my age (29) he looked at me and told me “Wow you look good for 30”. I was so humbled and probably says a lot to why 30 year olds look like these days 👀
You provide the most complete information in this space I have ever consumed over the internet...thank you.
Very helpful information. I still train hard at age 75. Legs are my favorite, and I leg press 700+. Keep that testosterone going!
You're a masochist! I'm impressed. I don't skip leg day, but I don't enjoy it either. 💯💯
@@michaelfera5515 Thanks! Legs I do best, other parts, chest, not so well, old shoulders....lol

You do the math
@@anthonysmith820 ....Tom Platz is only 67 for starters and he never used to do leg presses as he considered them inferior to squats. I'm sure he could leg press 700 for about 50 reps.
In 6 months of keto and crossfit I lost 53lbs and raised my testosterone naturally from 213 to 320 total test and I'm 48. I could tell my test was going up, but was surprised by the lab results. Lots of squats, dead lifts, cleans, and snatch workouts in those six months.
Great
Damn it’s true about the drop of testosterone, 320!? and no it’s not because you’re 48.
320 holy F 🤣 213 my laaawd
I think I'd be looking for other ways to raise it .
How do you know if someone is doing crossfit , they tell you lol
Thank you, Dr. Malik, I'll take this info with me to the gym!
Great info, Jeff Nippard walks the talk about these exact things and then gives the paths to do it!
Dr Rena, Just you making these informative vids increases my testosterone.

I been lifting for over 60 years, and have always used the 3 minutes rule between sets, so this is very valuable information for me. I breath heavier now between sets than when I was younger so maybe I can do 90 seconds between sets.
Well, if you don't repeat the same set right away, you can rest less than 30 seconds...i.e. biceps, triceps, shoulders, etc. with less than 30 seconds in between, but if you take a break to repeat the same set, yeah, you need longer break, so don't try to do the same set (next), do other muscles, then come back to it, this way, you don't have to take such prolonged breaks, because you're doing different muscle groups each time (until you repeat the circuit of course).
90 seconds wont let you lift heavy on compound exercises. 2- 2 1/2mins...longer for PRs
sky is limit, advise never limit yourself, i use my mind and confidence to go wherever i want if u know i mean
Fantastic job on explaining & not over explaining 🤗

@@CitizenoftheWorld1 Hell Yeah!
Dr Malik makes a lot of sense here, of course this video is about testosterone alone but there are many other health benefits to doing high intensity exercises regularly
This was excellent explanation thank you Dr.
Thanks Doc, am 48 years old. Those are the workouts that I do , and I feel great.
You are awesome! I am 59 with spinal cord fusion and have started resistance training. Immediately, I began feeling more sexual desire and my performance is increasing. This video just explained why!
I would encourage this community to look into Kettlebell or Steel Club/Mace based workouts. This style of training checks all of the boxes for supporting the Testosterone boost the Dr. described from the video:
- Resistance Exercises
- With Large Muscle Mass
- Moderate to High Intensity
- Short Resting Period
- High Volume.
Checks all the boxes for sht that wrecks your joints to. I never understood low impact until now.
I recently started training with a club and what an amazing workout..........are real wake up call for smaller, weaker muscles!
Wow you explained this so much better than those gym trainers and the explanation on volume and intensity was on point.
Excellent presentation. Thanks.
Watching this video boosted my testosterone!
Brilliant video.
You covered th whole topic from A to Z in only 11 minutes, Thank you, doctor.
Thank you Dr. Malik! 🙏🏽
Very good video. Loved this!!
Try doing high intensity resistance training with short rest periods without hitting failure.
Sleep is a huge factor as well
I'm overloaded with information right now that I need to watch this over and over again.😄
I love your videos Dr. Malik always informative and helpful.
Here's the deal between free weights and machines. When you use either, you're always using your core (if needed). E.g. a smith machine standing shoulder press requires your abs/lower back (i.e. core) as well, similar to a barbell standing shoulder press.
The difference is actually because in all muscle groups, when you go free weights, it uses a lot more muscles, because it brings in the stabilizer muscles, which aren't there if you have a fixed range of motion with a locked-in machine. For example in a smith machine, the bar can't wobble over to the side etc. and is stable, so you're not using those muscles... Whereas for a barbell shoulder press, it can easily topple to the side and knock you off balance if you don't control it properly by actively trying to stabilize the bar i.e. stabilizers are brought in.
I was thinking the same thing. I was hoping people engage their core when using isolation machines instead of yanking the handle around
Ligament and tendon strength is another reason
Thanks, Dr. Malik. You're a walking medical encyclopedia and you can verbalize it all.
Perfect video for sufferers of Post orgasmic illness syndrome
Wow, a beautiful vedio... Thanks Dr. Rina🙂
My test levels were in the 200’s, and the problem with exercise was, after work, I was too tired to do it. Since I have been on trt, I got my energy levels back, sleep better, and am overall much happier. Now I have the energy to exercise.
What are your levels now?
@@Gespense I keep them 800
Firstly, great information. Second, what's interesting to me is that the bodybuilding community seem to have keyed into this information before tests, studies, and reports came out to prove them correct. If anything, since there's a difference between strength training and muscle hypertrophy (body building), I'm wondering what the difference in testosterone levels between these different activities.
Great explanation and guide to maximize benefits….Your presentation and voice and knowledge is excellent thank you!
This video is awesome! It is a lot of the thing I have been preaching for years. The only difference is that I promote much longer rest periods, but I may start experimenting with shorter rests.
So it sounds like an exercise program like “the Perfect 20 Minute Workout” is definitely on target with attaining these results. I’ve been doing these twice a week diligently and have noticed muscle strength, stamina, flexibility and endurance like nothing forty something years prior.
I’m going to stick with it!
I had a pituitary tumor that messed with my testosterone. Luckily I got it removed back in 2019, I went from being mildly depressed, irritable, anxious and overall a terrible person to hang out with. Oh and I was 424lbs, now I'm ~250lbs, I got muscle, I stopped taking t-injections over a year ago and my life has done a 180, like seriously the last 3yrs and especially the last year has been amazing for me.
Men NEED testosterone, I don't care what you think or how you think you feel men NEED testosterone.
Why did you decide to come
Off testosterone.
Look into Wim Hof and breathing cold therapy
@@tonehernandez8598 because i wanted to know if my body could do it on its own and thankfully it did, I've been off testosterone for years now and still making progress
Dr Malik is very good in her subject…
Thank you so much for this information on how exercise effects testosterone levels. I know that I need to do more of the jump squats. I’m over 50 and want to maximize my testosterone because as you stated it decrease with age each year. I need to maximize the exercise without overdoing it that will decease the production. Appreciate you!
And as with jump squats it should be pointed out that not all resistance training requires weights. Look at any calisthenics (body weight athlete) or gymnast, to see that. In fact pole and rope climbing are two of the biggest testo inducers as they engage the whole body at once.
Didn't know Rope climbing was so good. Thanks for the info.
They are not,its entirely irrelevant the acute effect of exercise on test because it will have no health benefits
Great information, but a little overwhelming. Would it be possible for you to include a summary (very basic) outline of the main formula you're advising us to follow? I understand it better (and apply it) when I can see it.
On the other hand what I understand is that I just need to continue a regular, linear progression of weight training with high weights (high intensity) with short rests and overall high volume (total reps), followed by moderate, low stress cardio (in order to not produce cortisol). Right?
I don’t believe she said exactly that. You can’t do both high reps and train to failure without introducing cortisol which will kill your gains. Think about doing high reps of deadlifts. It’s much more like endurance training than progressive loaded resistance training.
So you want to lift heavy to get high intensity. That limits the number of reps. So you do a set, say whatever you can lift to where the 5th lift is the last you can do safely, with good form. Rest 60-90 seconds, then choose a weight you will fail at again on the 5th rep. Usually 3 sets is a good number.
A week later, you might find you can do 6 reps at your weight before you fail. Take your rest and add 5 lbs and do your 2nd set. Now you may be back to 5 until you fail, or maybe 4. That’s ok. Do a 3rd set.
The next week, you might find you are back to 6 reps at the new weight. Add another 5 lbs.
This is how you keep intensity high. Always increase your reps or your number of sets or your weight.
Thanks for pointing out good info.
Good stuff Doc, admire your fluency 👍
One of the things I've found as I've gotten older is my rate of improvement has slowed to a crawl. I used to do three sets of 225 on the bench. After a 20-year break, I can't even do 100 and when I try to force myself to lift heavier weights I usually wind up injuring myself and having to take time off. So I'm now being careful about the amount of weight I lift. I'm going for consistency. I'm in the gym every day. No excuses. Don't know what it's doing for my testosterone levels but I feel 100 percent better.
Just curious why'd you stop
What I personally find interesting is that I started lifting weights as a kid in the late 80’s/early 90’s and the “bro science” of observation and trial and error in the body building community was basically ticking 85-90% of the boxes on the research you cited in this video.
Thanks, AOC, lot of great info!
This is so comprehensive, that I now know exactly what to do from Tuesday at the gym.
Such a Rena Malik fan. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for this very informative vid, doc. Question: I'm 64 y/o and presently don't do daily exercising, but I do get out for a 26- or 47-mile bicycle ride once every weekend. I try NOT to raise my HR too much, but try to ease my heart into sustained exercise (about 2 and 4-1/4 hours of cycling for the 26- and 47-mile rides, respectively, with a couple of short rest periods). Cycling uses large muscles, although all in the lower-body. Any idea about how this type of episodic exercising might affect testosterone levels?
I think she said endurance training seems to cause more cortisol(not what u want)
Using kettlebells helps your heart, lungs, joints, muscles, and increase your testosterone almost immediately. Kettlebells also help stimulate the groin area of muscles including your prostate. You can use KB as circuit training with other exercises.
Very professional. Thank you
Amazing , motivational and well researched information. Thanks for sharing .
