=== Testosterone Triumphs? (05:10) ===

[00:00:02]  Absolutely massive, if I may be so bold.
[00:00:06]  Greetings my esteemed Laddingtons.
[00:00:09]  Today we'll have a look at my testosterone levels.
[00:00:12]  So the first time I made one of these videos was back in 2015, at the very peak of my physical power.
[00:00:20]  Perhaps you were subscribed back then and you remember the force of nature, the absolute magnificent monstrosity.
[00:00:29]  If you weren't subscribed, you can simply go back.
[00:00:32]  You can look at the Eternal Glory playlist and you can look at my training videos from that time.
[00:00:38]  Now back then, I actually had 18.3 as a testosterone score.
[00:00:45]  Then, as we can see before us right now, I also did a test in 2017 and there I got 21 in score.
[00:00:56]  And then I did it in 2019.
[00:00:58]  I got 21 again.
[00:01:00]  Then in 2020, I got 23.
[00:01:05]  And then this year, a few days ago, I got 20.
[00:01:10]  Now, I will say that every other value, every other value this year was better than in 2020, including SHBG.
[00:01:19]  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.
[00:01:32]  So everything was better in 2020 than in 2017 and 2019.
[00:01:40]  I credit my wife, I credit her good cooking, she takes great care of me, so I credit her with my overall better health.
[00:01:48]  So then the question remains, why was everything better except for the sacred testosterone?
[00:01:54]  Why was it a bit lower this year than two years ago?
[00:01:57]  And I will admit, it's simply because I haven't trained as hard as I did two years ago.
[00:02:03]  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.
[00:02:16]  thousand and five pounds to be alive if you can't do that ever the showman he He really is incredible.
[00:03:08]  So that is the reason I would say that I simply I haven't trained as hard as I did two years ago.
[00:03:16]  And this is also why I haven't made a training video this year yet.
[00:03:20]  I will make one.
[00:03:21]  I will see if it is more tie boxing or if it's more powerlifting.
[00:03:25]  I will see, but that can explain it at least.
[00:03:27]  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.
[00:03:40]  I haven't trained as hard for, I haven't trained as hard this year because of a few different reasons.
[00:03:46]  I will get into it again soon and therefore I can expect my testosterone to increase.
[00:03:52]  So that being said, I have now at 33 years of age I have a higher testosterone than I did at 25.
[00:04:00]  So that feels good and it also feels good that I can pinpoint the exact reason for that slight drop in testosterone.
[00:04:07]  Now again something that is interesting to point out.
[00:04:10]  I said that the very peak of my physical splendor was perhaps in 2015.
[00:04:17]  I have higher testosterone now.
[00:04:20]  despite not training as hard, despite not being quite as muscular and despite not being quite as strong.
[00:04:26]  Now of course I can, if I want to, I can go back to that level of strength and muscularity.
[00:04:33]  I just need to focus completely on the gym.
[00:04:35]  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.
[00:04:49]  But yeah, I hope this was insightful.
[00:04:52]  I hope this inspires you to do deadlifts.
[00:04:55]  I think that is the main main thing that will increase my testosterone again.
[00:05:01]  So good times, good times.
[00:05:02]  I will actually go and do some deadlifts right now and I will have a training motivation video of some sort incoming at least.
[00:05:10]  So anyway, thank you for watching.
[00:05:11]  Thank you for your continued support.
