This short exercise will increase testosterone and muscle mass

Sprinting is a great way to boost your hormones and energy in your body.

It’s a form of HIIT (high intensity interval training) which study suggest can improve testosterone levels in men. As you may know, testosterone is one of the most important hormones that makes us masculine men.

Sprinting is my preferred way of doing some cardio because it’s short and explosive. Also when looking at body composition, sprinters look more muscular and healthier.

Other benefits of sprinting are:

• Release of HGH (human growth hormone)

  • An important hormone for stimulating muscle growth

• Cardio vascular and conditioning improvements

• Increases speed and power

• It’s free

• You can do it everywhere

• A complete sprint training only has to last for around 20 minutes

How to perform:

I do around 8 reps. 4 are warming up and 4 are high intensity. Before I start I do some dynamic leg stretches and warm up my legs.

The distance I sprint is around 50 meters. The frequency is once every 1-2 weeks.

The training cycle is the following

1st rep: 50%
2nd rep: 60%
3th rep: 70%
4th rep: 80%
5-8th rep: 90%

Keep improving 👊
