Here are both the T tests next to each other, on the left is the first test done on the 28.10.2024 and on the right is the second test done on 28.11.2024
Hello guys, I (M22) want to share my one month experiment.
In 2024 I tried testosterone maxing for a month in a challenge versus a friend of mine.
*Disclaimer - I am not a nutritionist or a doctor or a fitness influencer, I am not selling or promoting anything. I am a student just sharing my experience. *If you want to skip to the diet section, it will be at the bottom. *The tests were done in the same laboratory not different which is significant for the results since laboratories sometimes have different measuring standards and stuff (info I got from a med student friend I am not too well informed I am just sharing my experience). *I also want to mention that I did not cheat in any way because I was doing it for my own well being. By cheating I refer to temporary things that boost your testosterone in the short term or temporarily, for example looking at a picture of an attractive model or similar short term boosts.
Both tests were done in the morning without consumption of food or anything but water (1 cup and it was only before the second test).
Keep in mind I lead a relatively healthy lifestyle and even before this T-maxing experiment a few months back, I had high testosterone measured at about somewhere around 8.20 ng/ml if I remember correctly.
This First Test for the experiment was done when I was going to the gym or sports 3-5 times a week and I also had a normal diet, with normal calories to maintain my weight of 62kg at height 1.78, I was NOT skinny fat but was skinny.
In the second test I had water before the test (1 glass).
The second test is the one that has a more clear image. In this one I followed the diet that I will be showing you that worked for me personally. I don’t know if it will work for you, if by chance you are a nutritionist, I would be happy to get your opinion on it.
*Sleep, training and competition is critical to my results.
- I focused on improving my sleep during the experiment
- training was the same as before
- competition was increased but not in video games, chess or anything that could stress me out as that backfires due to very high stress levels if I lose. (am a sore loser). More so in sprinting with friends, football or sports.
- diet had drastic change as I cut out all added sugars and increased the calories. I was at a big caloric surplus when on the diet but I workout rather extensively and burn a lot of calories since I am active during the day, which is the reason I didn’t gain more than 1.5kg at the end of the whole thing, still it was mostly muscle. The diet was designed so that it can be sustainable and delicious for me personally, which it 100% is since I like all the food here and the only reason I couldn’t follow it perfectly because I ran out of the food at times or was busy doing something. Here is the diet I was aiming for (I couldn’t follow it perfectly but was 90% there):
- Morning – 250ml milk + 7 dates
- Later – Vereya high-fat yogurt mixed with honey, cinnamon, and cocoa, served with frozen fruit, one spoonful of chia seeds, and oats + 2 Brazil nuts + supplements taken separately (D3, Zinc, and Magnesium).
- Lunch – 5 eggs with spinach (cooked in olive oil or butter) + banana and 250ml milk + nuts (a mix of walnuts, almonds, and macadamia nuts) + 5 olives + 50g yellow cheese and 50g white cheese + 2 slices of bread.
- Later – A fruit of choice + 30g dark chocolate.
- Dinner – 3 servings of various vegetables + 200g beef or fish.
- Additionally – Eat a protein bar with 0 added sugar and to add the ones I ate had collagen written on them.
- This is my first time posting anything like this, so sorry in advance if there are mistakes in the post or if something is not clear. Let me know what you think, I did a lot of research on it before committing to it and I am happy with the results. Overall Testosterone increase +303ng/ml, went from 7.77ng/ml to 1080ng/ml, in a scale with referent amounts from 2.50 to 8.36.
