Bodybuilding and Testosterone By Francesco A. Castano Testosterone is the primary muscle building hormone -- higher levels of testosterone in the blood stream lead to bigger muscles / lower body fat levels. This can be noted using gender specific examples, as men naturally produce greater levels of testosterone, and thus are prone to common testosterone linked characteristics, such as deeper voices, facial hair, aggression, premature hair loss, larger muscle mass, and lower body fat levels. Professional female bodybuilders who wish to develop very large muscle size use significant quantities of illegal and dangerous steroids (synthetic testosterone), and consequently develop many male characteristics associated with the hormone (deep voice, rough skin, etc). Both males and females using synthetic testosterone (steroids) risk very serious health ailments, such as heart enlargement (common), cancer, kidney failure, and a wide range of mysterious, yet undocumented causes of premature death. It is tempting to increase testosterone through illegal drug use, yet the obvious downside (health implications) outweigh the temporary benefits. In lieu of using such drugs, one may significantly increase testosterone (to levels equal with that of very mild doses of steroids) through proper diet and exercise techniques, yet avoid any of the associated side effects (due to the body's close regulation of naturally produced hormones, testosterone cannot rise to dangerously high levels, and will instead increase to the maximum acceptable rate). Thus, why not use the natural approach? Enjoy the testosterone increase WITHOUT health risks, and all that's necessary is proper training and diet principles -- this is how all natural bodybuilder's achieve very impressive muscle gains / fat reduction without resorting to dangerous, potentially deadly drugs. To clarify one important point -- it is IMPOSSIBLE to develop freaky, inhuman professional bodybuilder size without using MANY illegal drugs (steroids, growth hormone, insulin, etc), but you CAN produce a smaller version of a steroid monster through very specific diet and exercise techniques -- I have accomplished such results, and am safely enjoying very high levels of muscle while maintaining a 6% body fat percentage. Remember, PROPER training / diet leads to dramatic, yet safe, increases in muscle mass I use NO drugs, and have achieved tremendous improvement (over 80 pounds of muscle weight and a 6% body fat level) through food + exercise alone -- when done correctly, the urge for drug use disappears.
