If a guy with low Testosterone was able to get very high T,

would most of the stuff in the DJ Bible just come naturally to him? Isn't what we're really trying to do (those of us who still need to) is learn how to think and act more masculine? And doesn't testosterone = all things masculine?

No, it would just make a guy less of a pu$sy, but would certainly help in certain areas, where balls play an important role. Testosterone= sports, gun powder, gasoline, pu$sy, adrenaline.

If you're worried about having low testosterone level, go see your doctor and tell him you want him to test it. It's a simple and cheap blood test. If it's normal, you'll know within a week. If it's low, you'll get a testosterone supplement. If it's normal, you won't get anything.

If it's normal and you feel like you want more, go to Walmart and buy some DHEA and take 50mg daily in the morning. DHEA is a prohormone for androgen production and may or may not be converted invitro in to testosterone or dihydrotestosterone (10x more potent than regular testosterone).

That being said, if you think it's low, just don't go take the DHEA because it won't necessarily bring you to a metabolically "normal" testosterone state. And don't buy any of that BS testosterone boosting or testosterone prohormone crap body builder websites sell, as it is extremely under researched and is generally biologically dangerous or ineffective.

Also consider whether you are depressed, have a psychological/emotional issue to contend with or need more sleep. Are you exercising and eating a good diet? Both of those are 2 things you can control that WILL positively raise your general level of androgens. Getting your diet under control, taking a multivitamin and omega-3 supplement with a high EPA to DHA ratio, exercising, and counseling will do your body much more good than an antidepressant or hormone therapy. That being said, some people do need medication, and when they do, they should never hesitate to seek it.

Did you know that fat naturally secretes estrogen, even in males - therefore, as amount of fat increases on a given male, so too does his level of estrogen production? Estrogen is also on the order of 100x more potent than testosterone as a hormone.

Exercise releases endorphins which are endogenous opiates (opiate = morphine, oxycodon, HEROIN). They make you feel good. It makes you look good. Self confidence goes up. Lower estrogen production. Couple that with a series of even small successes, and your confidence will go up. Keep the cycle of personal development and success going, even if you feel the successes are small things, as long as they are successes, they will accumulate and add interest. My dad always used to tell me, if you keep track of the pennies, the dollars keep track of themselves. The same principle applies to success.

Some food for thought.

Testosterone is important. But I think a lot of this stuff you learn here comes naturally from life experience. In fact, this forum is largely made up of the shared life experiences of all of its posters.

This is one of those things I've experimented with. I'm into bodybuilding and when I'm in my bulking phase, eating lots, working out hard, my testosterone is sky high. These are the times that my game is at its peak. I am a lot more courageous when it comes to talking to women and pushing the sexual boundaries. What's more, because I'm more horny, I act based on my urges rather than my emotions. I get laid a lot more when my testosterone/sex drive is high.

On the other hand, when I'm trying to cut bodyfat, lowering my carbs and overall food intake, my testosterone drops. During these times I tend to think more with my heart (cringe!) get clingy towards women, and less motivated to go out and get laid. There was one time I was having sex with a HB8 and I just wanted to get it over with and lie down next to her.

I also have more confidence and more of a presence when my t levels are high so yes, I'd say it is an integral part of our game. I've been experimenting a lot with foods and supplements in recent months looking at which effectively increase my testosterone. I'm finding peanut butter and regular doses of tribulus terrestis are the best so far.
