💡Testosterone

Testosterone is a hormone that plays a key role in the development of male reproductive tissues and secondary sexual characteristics.

Horizontal cardio is a term used in the script to refer to sexual activity. The video discusses the impact of sexual activity on testosterone levels, suggesting that while abstaining can temporarily increase testosterone, regular sexual activity is more beneficial in the long term.

💡No Nut November

No Nut November is an internet challenge where participants abstain from ejaculation for the entire month of November. The script uses this as an example to discuss the temporary spike in testosterone levels due to abstinence and the subsequent drop after the seventh day, arguing against the practice as a year-round strategy for testosterone maintenance.

💡SEMA Retention

SEMA retention, or Semen Retention, is a practice where individuals abstain from ejaculation to conserve energy and vitality. The video mentions it alongside No Nut November, suggesting that while there may be short-term benefits for testosterone, long-term abstinence is not recommended.

Ola Muchachos today we are going to be

talking all about testosterone because

as a man when this hormone is low you're

going to noce some very bad stuff like

lack of confidence bad mood and a harder

time when it comes to building muscle

and losing body fat this is obviously

not ideal and there are some things we

can do to increase our testosterone

naturally like working out eating a

healthy balanced diet and also getting

in a good amount of sunlight but sadly

if that's all all you're doing you

actually might be wasting your time

especially if you're still doing these

four bad habits that are proven by

science to drop your testosterone and

some of these are actually pretty

strange and the very first one guys is

taking L's as men it's in our nature to

want to conquer in fact this effect is

so strong that if you're a fan of a

sports team and they lose you can

actually notice a drop in your

testosterone so losing is obviously L

not good for our manhood but let's also

get realistic here because nobody is

perfect and every once in a while you

are going to lose but luckily there's

one thing you can do to kind of stop the

losing effect because research has

actually shown that when men believed

they were winners the testosterone

actually stayed high so this means

Muchachos that when you lose you can

change the channel and instead choose to

look at it like a lesson which will give

you more feedback that will help you

improve yourself over time and allow you

to stay more positive and give you the

energy to hopefully avoid the next

mistake and that is lack of horizontal

cardio so this one is kind of

controversial because in the

self-improvement space they tell you

that doing no fap and SEMA retention is

great for your testosterone and there is

some truth to this because research has

shown that if you abstain from sexual

activity on the seventh day day you're

actually going to see a spike in

testosterone but sadly after that it's

going to go right back down to Baseline

which means that if you practice no nut

November all year round you're not doing

your testosterone a good service but we

also have to ask ourself one serious

question and that is why do we see that

spike in tea on the seventh day so

research is kind of mixed about this but

I think I have a pretty good idea why

this happens because when your

testosterone spikes on that day you

probably get a lot more motivation to go

out into the real world to find a mate

and also it has been shown that when

you're actually talking to an attractive

woman your testosterone levels actually

go higher and of course if your RZ is on

point that interaction could later lead

to horizontal

cardio so ironically the no fabers were

actually correct because apparently you

see a bigger T boost if you do it in

real life compared to if you watch

somebody do it on screen so this means

the more sexual activity you can get the

better but you do want to be careful

about this because if you go overboard

with it you're can to actually end up

making the next

mistake getting

cuffed so this fact shocked me because

apparently men that are single tend to

have higher testosterone levels than men

that are in long-term committed

relationships so when you hear this

doesn't mean I'm telling you to break up

with your wife or girlfriend and go out

into the wild and start slinging D no

because correlation is not always

causation because I know from my past

experiences in relationships it was very

easy for me to focus a little bit too

much on the girl and yes in the

beginning I'll be on cloud n wanting to

spend as much time with her as possible

but over time I will notice that I tend

to put in a lot less energy into myself

and my goals and hence I become less

attractive and I'm no longer the man

that she met in the beginning which

ironically makes us stop doing

horizontal cardio and the

MIT

drops so obviously relationships are

more complicated than this but I do feel

like one of the reasons why us men see

that testosterone drop when we're in

them could be the fact that we tend to

get too comfortable we neglect our goals

and we kind of lose that masculine Edge

which means that to boost our tea levels

we got to do our best to maintain those

attractive traits that we had when we

were single but this sounds like a lot

of work and if we're not careful we can

also end up making the next mistake

because of this which is lack of rest

because as men it could feel like we

have a lot on our plates we have to

compete we have to stay attractive we

have to provide and also if you take the

grinding mentality to an extreme you

might think that is a good idea for you

to work more hours and lose sleep in

order to get more work done

but this is actually a huge mistake

because research has shown that when men

get less than 8 hours of sleep per day

their testosterone levels drop so as you

can see Muchachos testosterone is a very

funny hormone because apparently there's

some very odd lifestyle things that you

can do that can make it drop but there

also a lot of things they can do to make

it go higher and one of those things is

really focusing on your health and

fitness but the only issue with this is

that sometimes it can be kind of

confusing where to start which is why I

made a video talking about four simple

things that you can do to get your

health in order so you want to learn

more about that to also jack up your tea

levels watch this video right here and

I'll catch youall over there peace
