That’s why eating the right food and getting enough sleep is a great way to keep those levels up, another way to raise these levels are to do power workouts. Heavy bench, rows, cleans, and most importantly squats. A full body workout to get the body pumping and your hormones working. The movement of the hips in cleans and squats helps release Testosterone into the body, along with the heavy weight of all four exercises.

Cleans- 3×3, 1×2, 1×1
Bench- 3×3, 1×2, 1×1
