Increase Your Testosterone Levels by Doing These Exercises

The hormone testosterone is very important for achieving overall fitness, and no one knows this better than bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts. That's why we are in constant search of ways to raise our testosterone levels, oftentimes resorting to external sources (testosterone boosters) as a way to achieve this goal.

But we need to be aware of the fact that there is no need for us to rely upon external sources to raise our testosterone levels, at least not up to high normal levels, because we can achieve high normal levels by doing certain exercises. So why is it that some bodybuilders are unaware of these testosterone boosting exercises?

I can't say for sure, but I do have a theory. Could it be that exercises which boost testosterone, because they require brute strength and are taxing to our muscles are unpopular, and that many bodybuilders choose alternative exercises in order to avoid them? Maybe. So, what are these testosterone boosting exercises?

• Squats
• Deadlifts
• Dips
• Pull-ups 
• Chin-ups

These are "power moves." Power moves are the ultimate for boosting testosterone. They require power to perform, and in return, give power back in the form of testosterone, brute strength, and large muscles. And to be certain that you reap the full benefits of these testosterone boosting exercises, you must allow enough time (three days is ideal) in between workouts to fully recovery.
