- 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

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 😉

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.

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).

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.

You doctor are a motivator! Thank you for all you do!!

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.

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.
