There are many time on this channel Derek discusses various things like this and has done podcasts with people in the past about many things. Knowledge changes a lot over time, and such a video could have some suboptimal or just flat out wrong information (not because derek wants it, but cause we learn everyday).

I feel like the regression of average world wide T levels might be more linked to a larger sample size rather then strictly the decline of levels overall. People who would have been getting their T checked back in the day most likely would have had vested interest in knowing their levels already. Those people were probably athletes and on some level outliers when it comes to natural production in the first place, thus the sample size may have self selected for high levels.

i used to think i have low testosterone, becuase i wasn't seeing results in the gym, fast forward 7 years later, i got in the gym again but i had the same limiting belief i'm 25 and i finally decide to go to my doctor's office and take a blood test, the result came back 695 (which i thought was really high) but it's actually a little above average total testosterone, ever since that day i started getting bigger and stronger and making gains. the buttom line was i didn't have an excuse anymore, i got a good workout program, i wrote down all my lifts and started increasing the weight every week, i started counting my calories and proteins. and it's going great. idk if you have low T but you might have a victim mentality and that's more dangerous in my opinion.

Hamza seems good-willing but he is still quite young and seems a bit confused about life himself. Yes he might be running a self improvement channel and yes some of the things he says make sense, but he is also somewhat indoctrinated in to certain believes about life that can be harmful to people in my opinion. What life is about depends on the person and their goals, his following seems somewhat cult like, not saying it is bad, just saying they appear too narrow and not open enough for lifegoals that deviate from their own. Rather than following the demands of a young man i'd rather follow the demands of my ancestors.

I'm glad someone put it into words. I think though, his type of channel and red-pill content is more a sign of the times for young men. It's a world where embracing natural masculinity is harder to do, so many are lost and are trying to carve an identity in a world that probably makes them feel suffocated. I wince a bit, as someone who was raised by someone born in the great depression, I think the types who like to have greek statues in their profile pics and talk about "traditional masculinity" honestly get a lot wrong. In the end though I think they are trying to move towards something positive, it's just so sad a whole generation of men seem to be so lost they cannot grasp things that should have been taught to them when they were children. Many are being robbed of a proper upbringing.

Firstly: the "cult" following is kinda an inside joke, but even though he is young, in a way that is better, since most of the people who are on self improvement are early adults or older teens, so seeing a young man who gives legitimately good advice, why not follow it? And most of his financial advice isn't specific, so it let's the audience pick the lives and future they want.

When I got sober I got put on suboxone, gabbapentin, and lexapro. I asked my doctor ( who used to work in endocrinology) about my t and she seemed skeptical because I’m 30 but she agreed to look. My total T was 500 my shbg was 68 and my free t was 28. The gabbapentin spikes shbg. I started trt and stopped gabbapentin and lexapro. now my shbg is 54 and my free is 150 shooting for 250. It’s crazy that I was treated for depression for 5 years when I had low T the whole time .

This reminds me of The Huberman Lab Podcast episode with Dr. Sapolsky. They experimented with monkeys by giving lower ranking monkeys testosterone to see how it would effect their behavior/ rank. The monkeys did not go up in the hierarchy but rather acted out their roles within that hierarchy in a more extreme way.

Most doctors aren't qualified enough to improve the quality of life of a patient. They focus on keeping a patient alive. If you want to improve your quality of life, then you will likely need to visit a private clinic.

My test is also 450ng/dl at 25yrs old. And I pause bench press 310lbs for 6 reps close grip. While only benching 1x per week. I have alot of chesthair, beardhair and a very deep voice. One of my buddies has a 850ng/dl test. He has no chest hair. Trains as much as me and can barely bench 200lbs. It is not only about test. 300-900 can both be healthy. Don't panic if you are 400. I'm 450 and well above average on everything related to testosterone. It is also about how sensitive your endocrine system is etc. Just develop yourself the best you can and don't let these measurments take you down guys.

I think it is always nice to hear someone tell some of their own experience to back up what is already said. I talked to an endocrinologist who explained what I just said. What you stated is basically a more detailed version of what I said. If one can bind/utilize T better it means their hormonal system is more sensitive to it.

I know two friends who both would appear to be on PD’s to most people. One has test at the low end of normal and one has test at the high end of normal. You would not be able to tell which ones which. Testosterone levels are one small part of the equation, sensitivity place in essential role.

Hes looking at test levels as some type of benchmark he needs to hit. Everyone is different. Younger people shouldn't be on TRT unless they're absolutely certain they have symptoms that are caused by low testosterone. People feel optimal at mid range levels of testosterone. This anxiety about test levels are caused by the sheer number of social media influencers talk about it.

this dude is lost in the sauce going on a rant about low testosterone on men. Testosterone levels is personal and there's a lot more to it than just the number on a test like Derek said. For some 700 is low and they feel like shit, whereas for others it's too high and they don't feel good.

I've seen couple of studies which show coq10 increases testosterone and also protect the health from diseases. Seems like a good replacement from TRT for Natural lifters who are not inclined towards taking the juice.What are your thoughts?

I was under 300 as a former power lifter and military operator. Hit 40 had lots of issues mental and physical got tested and got told you are in the normal range. Got a second opinion and got TRT.

I got blood work done and gone to endocrinologists. Did multiple blood tests, my test levels were 227, 190, 120, 260. Because I had that reading above 250, was essentially told I was healthy and good to go

Funny, I had my doctors tell me the same thing. I got two lower reading and one above. He said the lower reading must have been an error. That's neither ration nor scientific. I think these doctors must have all gotten their degrees from the same school of quackery. My last doctor prescribed me a bunch of anti-depressants for my troubles. Of course they didn't work. Doctor are pawn of the system, and will say or do whatever they're told by Big Pharma. Its no secrete that they're committed to them, and so treat the numbers, and not the patient.

He is talking a lot of bullshit ! Just look at the facial features of men from the past and compare them to those of today and you will immediately recognise men looked a lot more manly in the past than today. Or just look at the youth of today and the extreme amount of female looking faces or the lack of male features. Lots of young men can't even grow a proper beard. Most don't have chest hair when back in the day they did. That little common sense approach already proves him wrong. Men had a lot more androgens back in the day than today and the most potent one is dihydrotestosterone which is actually responsible for looking manly, not testosterone. Testosterone is converted into dihydrotestosterone or estrogen. Estrogen makes you look female. And total t is irrelevant because only free T is biologically active.

@@Johnty270 I definitely believe in the effect that one's mental issues have on testosterone. Whenever I've had a good phase with success, productivity and solitude I could feel myself being way more energetic and feeling more masculine. Contrary to that, being unsuccessful both in the career and in relationships will impact testosterone levels negatively. It's a vicious downward spiral. One's relatively low natural testosterone levels make you shy, unconfident, low on energy and cognition and make you look underdeveloped physically. This in turn will make you more insecure, resulting in you feeling even more like a complete failure, and as a consequence the testosterone will drop even more. I somewhat believe in the mechanism that once your brain has fully acknowledged inferiority towards other men, which for me is the case, the only logical solution for your body is to produce less testosterone so you won't be confrontational, resulting in a higher chance of survival.

I think I can beat "normal" range levels record mentioned by Derek. My lab's (Poland) "normal" range is 47-980 ng / dl. It's just ridiculous. TRT is something you can literally only dream about through Polish NHS. Luckily there are some private clinics with more TRT-open attitude.

Where I live on the east coast of Canada between 12 and 29 is normal and I’m at 15 so they say I’m good but I never had any metal problems till got go into my 30s and never had problems getting motivated to do anything until the last couple years now that I’m 38 I think my test levels are going down some because I always had lots of life to do things now I have a hard time getting out of my own way and I’m really thinking about HRT or trt but it’s so hard to get a dr to do anything to help you out

My overall motivation sky rocketed as I began to incorporate more self discipline regimen. Sleep early, wake up at 5 am, go skateboarding 5 miles to the gym. I even saw wild dogs on the street early in the morning. This motivated me to feel responsible for everything, grateful for the pain I recieve.

I work a night shift so my sleep is broken. About 4 years ago ( I'm 54 right now ) I was tested and it was found my Test was that of a 73 year old man. But my dr. didn't seemed concerned about it at all. Meanwhile I suffered from a really bad back, low energy...etc. I started working out seriously, gained about 20-25 pounds of muscle, and my back problems have been minimized no almost non existent. So Derek is right lift style can have a lot to do with it. I feel great at the moment, and I look, literally like a 30 something year old. I should go back and have my Test numbers redone.

Incorrect conclusion. You never had clinically low T in the first place. When you do, no amount of lifestyle change will fix that. Think of it like Diabetes Type 1 and 2. One happens early on and is permanent (Type 1). The other is a gradual condition that can greatly be effected and often managed with changes in lifestyle, such as exercise and diet. Once you become hypogonadal. lifestyle won't fix that. Although making healthy choice can't hurt.

I've been accused of roids due to massive traps. My natural T ranges from 870 to 940 ng/dl. DHT is more correlated with strength. Testosterone is more correlated with waist size and leanness. My Dad is 66 years old. His Total T is 987 ng/dl with a Bioavailable T level of 196 ng/dl (40-240 ng/dl). This is insane for his age. He's lean af compared to most men his age who are overweight

Derek, video suggestion: the effect of hemochromatosis on testosterone levels, I was recently diagnosed and there is not a ton of resources out there.

I am someone who started lifting less than a year ago and i was depressed not sleeping and not eating the right food. I started at 66kgs and im 75kgs right now but if im saying all this is because i used to feel horrible everyday this horrible feeling, i thought something was wrong with me but then i started sleeping more and eating the right food + working out and going outside in the sun and i feel so much better now and all of that was in less than a year so if u are in a situation where u feel like shit maybe dont overthink and try to actually change things. My T levels were probably horrible a year ago and now they are fine (just a guess) but i dont care about that i care about how i feel bcs thats what matters the most at the end of the day

You have to wonder. Did Hamza deliberately make misleading statements in the hope that someone like MPMD would make a video on him? In my opinion, Derick was overly polite in his analysis, but I suppose it means that he rarely burns bridges.

When i was in college (2003-2008) i decided to focus on my bench press and traps one year. Around 2005 or 2006, i got my t levels checked and mine were around 360 ng/dL. Which is low-nomal. Still within normal range, just on the low side. Anyway, i focused hard on growing my traps and getting my BP max up for about 6 months. And wouldnt you know it. I grew my traps a ton (got to where i could shrug 7 plates per side) and maxed BP at 465. If my natural t levels were higher, maybe all that would be easier but its not everything.

How accurate is the morning wood test? I haven't had morning wood in over 5 years, not once. Maybe I should get some blood work done.

Derek, I have a weird question/situation. My T is really low, like 270 (last time I tested a few years ago and 80 lbs ago), but currently my muscle building ability is sufficient. If I work out I put on muscle. My sleep is good. I do have ED, but recently months something strange happened. I had a series of gut related medical issues that resulted in pretty invasive internal injuries and surgeries. While recovering from the surgeries (both times and they should be done now for good); I was in extreme pain and I would say my body was in a state of injury. My resting heart rate was in the 100's and it would take say 4 weeks for that state to start coming into a better range. But during that 4 weeks, my erections and "fullness" made a remarkable comeback but only during the times my body was repairing. After 4 weeks I went back to what it has been (not good). Maybe this is normal? Anyway I'm going to get my T retested now that I've lost some weight, maybe it's in range now. If it's still under 400 I'll probably do the $450 Marek Panel and consultation. If the T is in normal range and I just have ED I can live with that.

This is true for young men in their 20s and 30s. Not from someone suffering form low T and needs treatment.

At that point, lifestyle changes won't be enough.

The most anticipated cross over ever, we have MPMD, Hamza and IceColdJt all on one video

Is having SHBG on the higher end necessarily a problem if other results are normal ? also, are there lifestyle changes that can lower SHBG?

Nice to see Hamza getting recognition!

Anecdotal experience. When I started taking test at age 30 my life improved and I strongly believe the test was the key. I started having a drive to make more money and be more successful. My confidence went through the roof. My shyness vanished. I wasted my 20s playing video games and watching porn. In my 30s I built a solid foundation and now I'm working toward making my first million, hopefully before 40. It took time to dial in my dose but I still have lots of hair thanks to finasteride and ru, I'm in good shape, my blood pressure is low, and I have a sex drive.
