Testosterone.\u00a0 The king of muscle building.<\/p>\n

We all know this however, there\u2019s a lethal enemy waging war on your muscle gains and manhood.<\/p>\n

A hidden threat I call the \u201cLow-T Accelerator\u201d<\/strong><\/em>. Also known as cortisol…<\/p>\n

Which is like Kryptonite to your testosterone. Because\u2026<\/p>\n

In The Presence Of Cortisol Your T-levels Shrink. And The Longer You Let This Go On… The Worse Your Body Looks And Feels<\/strong> [1]<\/p>\n

Unfortunately most workouts force our body to make a lot of cortisol…<\/p>\n

Which according to the Journal, Obesity Research<\/em>, causes muscle atrophy and fat gain [2]… Shrinks your sex drive… Crushes your immune system [3]… and so much more.<\/p>\n

Basically\u2026<\/p>\n

This one aging hormone turns your male biology against you\u2026<\/p>\n

And you become 1 out of the every 4 men who struggles with low testosterone daily…<\/p>\n

Or if you already suffer from low-t the side effects only get worse. Increasing the damage it\u2019s having on your body.<\/p>\n

Now…<\/p>\n

I\u2019m willing to bet you\u2019re a man who doesn\u2019t want to spend the rest of his life spinning your wheels, trying to build muscle with little success or none at all, “short-circuiting” during sex and carrying layers of ugly fat on your belly, chest, and back…<\/p>\n

Which is why if you’re a man approaching your 40’s or beyond…<\/p>\n

You must AVOID these 3 common Exercise Mistakes Killing Your Testosterone And Crushing Your Results…<\/p>\n

Testosterone Killer #1 – The Cortisol Tipping Point<\/h3>\n

\"Testosterone\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Most guys think the more they train the more muscle they gain. Not the case. Especially after turning 30…<\/span><\/p>\n

Because unless you\u2019re in your 20\u2019s or filling your body with artificial hormones and steroids… <\/span>long workouts in the gym will crush your testosterone levels<\/u><\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

You see, e<\/span>xercise is like filling a bathtub with water. <\/span><\/p>\n

To a certain point, the water is contained in the tub. <\/span><\/p>\n

Yet if you continue letting the water run it eventually spills over the sides and runs a dangerous course. <\/span><\/p>\n

Damaging your floor boards, pouring through the ceiling tiles and ruining thousands of dollars of furniture and electronics. <\/span><\/p>\n

The spillover from the tub wreaks havoc on your home.<\/span><\/p>\n

The connection between your workouts and body is no different.<\/p>\n

The very moment you reach the \u201ccortisol tipping point\u201d<\/strong> – <\/span>your body is flooded with a rush of deadly hormones that smother your natural testosterone production and force your body into a catabolic state<\/u><\/strong><\/span>…<\/span><\/p>\n

Meaning, your muscle and hormones begin wasting away [4] while your body begins storing fat instead of burning it.<\/span><\/p>\n

This confirmed by researchers at Yale University [5].<\/span><\/p>\n

Before you know it, your \u201cgood workout\u201d is secretly sabotaging your hard earned muscle gains running a muck throughout your body and cells. <\/span><\/p>\n

You walk out of the gym with less testosterone and energy than when you walked in\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

So if you\u2019ve been working out with little or no results., it\u2019s not your fault. <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s this deadly hormone that\u2019s been \u201cspilling over\u201d into your bloodstream, cells, and muscles. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, there\u2019s good news…<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a fast and simple solution to guarantee<\/u> you never lose your hard-earned muscle gains and much-needed testosterone again\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s called the “Anabolic Override<\/a>” <= <\/strong>(Click to see more)

Testosterone Killer #2- Marathon Cardio Sessions<\/h3>\n

\"Testosterone\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A shocking study published in the U.S. National Library of Medicine<\/em> shows testosterone levels are lower in endurance running men compared to guys who don\u2019t even exercise <\/span>(30)<\/span>.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

The study also shows endurance training can damage your male reproductive system<\/u>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Which is frightening news because \u201cdo more cardio\u201d is the #1 prescribed form of exercise for men over 40.<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact certain forms of cardio can even cause erectile dysfunction<\/u> as confirmed in the Journal of Sexual Medicine<\/em> [<\/span>6]<\/span>.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Basically long cardio sessions are waging war on your testosterone levels and manhood… <\/span><\/p>\n

Throwing your male biology into confusion and causing your \u201cbuddy down below\u201d to forget what it\u2019s supposed to do in the bedroom.<\/span><\/p>\n

Plus, there\u2019s a reason endurance runners look skinny fat and have little muscle. <\/span><\/p>\n

Reports from the Department of Physiology<\/em> at a University in Dresden, Germany shows endurance runners have high cortisol levels [7<\/span>]<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Which again, is the deadliest hormone to your testosterone and eats away at your muscle mass<\/u>. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, it doesn\u2019t have to be this way…<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

There’s a little known technique called, “Anabolic EPOC<\/a>” <\/strong><= (Click to see more)<\/p>\n

Testosterone Killer #3- To Many Sessions At The Gym<\/h3>\n

\"Testosterone\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Research published in the Journal of Aging and Physical Activity<\/em> shows recovery time between workouts slows with age <\/span>[8]<\/span>. <\/span><\/p>\n

Meaning, the older you get, the more rest you need between training sessions\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t follow this principle you\u2019ll suffer from a dangerous event called “overtraining syndrome.”<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Which according to the National Sports Medicine Institute<\/em> causes chronic fatigue, disturbed sleep, high blood pressure, and risk of injuries<\/u> [9].<\/span><\/p>\n

Which is the fastest way to crush your muscle-building dreams. <\/span><\/p>\n

After all\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

You can\u2019t exercise when you\u2019re injured, right?<\/em> <\/span>\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If you do, it only leads to more pain and frustration or maybe even a costly doctor bill. <\/span><\/p>\n

Yet that\u2019s not all…<\/span><\/p>\n

A recent study published by the Institute of Sports and Preventative Medicine<\/em> shows overtraining lowers your testosterone levels and causes cortisol to skyrocket<\/u> [10]. <\/span><\/p>\n

This can stunt your male hormone production for weeks at a time\u2026 sometimes months.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead, training three days per week is all you need to build a muscular, testosterone-pumped body.<\/span><\/p>\n

What’s Next?<\/h3>\n

As you probably know or at some point you\u2019ve been told that the best way to build muscle while losing belly fat is by training each muscle group a different day of the week\u2026<\/p>\n
