Today we'll have a look at my testosterone levels.
So the first time I made one of these videos was back in 2015, at the very peak of my physical power.
Perhaps you were subscribed back then and you remember the force of nature, the absolute magnificent monstrosity.
If you weren't subscribed, you can simply go back.
You can look at the Eternal Glory playlist and you can look at my training videos from that time.
Now back then, I actually had 18.3 as a testosterone score.
Then, as we can see before us right now, I also did a test in 2017 and there I got 21 in score.
And then I did it in 2019.
I got 21 again.
Then in 2020, I got 23.
And then this year, a few days ago, I got 20.
Now, I will say that every other value, every other value this year was better than in 2020, including SHBG.
Now, I won't go into detail about that test, but I wanted to show the testosterone and I wanted to explain why every other test was better this year than two years ago, except for testosterone.
So everything was better in 2020 than in 2017 and 2019.
I credit my wife, I credit her good cooking, she takes great care of me, so I credit her with my overall better health.
So then the question remains, why was everything better except for the sacred testosterone?
Why was it a bit lower this year than two years ago?
And I will admit, it's simply because I haven't trained as hard as I did two years ago.
And in particular, may the spirit of John Paul Sigmarson, may he forgive me, may his spirit forgive me, but I haven't done so many deadlifts this summer.
thousand and five pounds to be alive if you can't do that ever the showman he He really is incredible.
So that is the reason I would say that I simply I haven't trained as hard as I did two years ago.
And this is also why I haven't made a training video this year yet.
I will make one.
I will see if it is more tie boxing or if it's more powerlifting.
I will see, but that can explain it at least.
So to recap, the testosterone was better then, everything else was better now, but looking at everything, I can only surmise that it has to do with not training as hard.
I haven't trained as hard for, I haven't trained as hard this year because of a few different reasons.
I will get into it again soon and therefore I can expect my testosterone to increase.
So that being said, I have now at 33 years of age I have a higher testosterone than I did at 25.
So that feels good and it also feels good that I can pinpoint the exact reason for that slight drop in testosterone.
Now again something that is interesting to point out.
I said that the very peak of my physical splendor was perhaps in 2015.
I have higher testosterone now.
despite not training as hard, despite not being quite as muscular and despite not being quite as strong.
Now of course I can, if I want to, I can go back to that level of strength and muscularity.
I just need to focus completely on the gym.
But now of course over the last 5-6 years it's been a bit different because I have trained more MMA and stuff like that so the focus on the gym hasn't been as pure as it was back in 2014, 15, 16.
But yeah, I hope this was insightful.
I hope this inspires you to do deadlifts.
I think that is the main main thing that will increase my testosterone again.
So good times, good times.
I will actually go and do some deadlifts right now and I will have a training motivation video of some sort incoming at least.
