Anybody every heard of this through weight training?
S
Yep.
Would you care to share? My experience was through Box Squats…
Occasionally sprint. Occasionally lift/move heavy things. Get plenty of uninterrupted sleep.
After lifting weights, I feel like I want to beat stuff up and run the wrong way through traffic to impress girls. Maybe set things on fire for no reason. Matches up with testosterone poisoning pretty well.
LOL
So true but just need to recognize it for recovery. Box PAUSE Squats is what I use.....Parallal
Any others care to share their recover efforts? Anybody ever tried lifting your weights (whether for swim, bike or run) right
before, I mean right before mins, your aerobic activity? Then shifting before a race or occasional training effort?

I did this before my swim workout (as per my coach/ex swim coach for Ucla and former Army Ranger) which sucked.
Then shifted my weight training to allow rest before a race or 1000 m swim time trial. Well I brought my swim time down
by over a min to 12:50. I weighed 190lbs…!
Just sharing. would love to hear some other thoughts/trials on resistant training in relation to triathlon.
The work outs for swim were mostly shoulder, 135lbs barbell press for 12-15 reps, dumbell press, flys, tricep work to
hit all not just the head for benchpress, upright rows. FYi 75% free weights, 25% specific isolatid machine work.
All this mind it was built around the foundation of raising my own testosterone level so I could benefit. The old saying
in the gym is you want to improve your bench? Squat! it worked for me, hope everyone can share and we can all benefit
from a host of knowlege in the tri community.

Yep. Squats and deadlift. I don’t do tons of it but I think it helps.
Right on very interesting when a Triathlon person mentions deadlift let alone squats! NIce
Well, I can’t say for sure that it really helps my s/b/r speeds or fitness (but I can’t say that it has hurt either) but I do like doing them once or so a week and there seems to be a lot of evidence that those 2 lifts can help your body generate testosterone. For those of us who are 40+, it’s probably a good thing to keep the body creating as much T as possible. Just my thoughts and I am no doc…

It sounds like there is benefit, which is good! Thanks for sharing.

and all this is related to TRAINING and has shit to do with “raising your T levels”

.
Never heard about it via weight training, but captaincanada has a program that’s guaranteed to stimulate your natural testosterone production.
sounds like ray has some anger issues…
training is raising your T levels bro.. what type is what Im trying to interest folks.

Jasion
Curious how long have you been a triathlete? Capt canada...?
S
I’ve never been a triathlete. I’ve done a few triathlons though. My first was around 1986 ish. Canoe / bike / run…
Jason,
You are a triathlete… you said you did three sports…lol.
Elevated testosterone response post weight training is a known response, that’s transient and drops again. It’s a functional response. Stronger in men of course than in women.
You COULD do weight training. Or you could…
Chop wood
Have sex more often
Do other manly things…
I’m not joking btw, it’s scientifically proven, chopping wood increases T by more than weight lifting.
