Aerobic Fitness and Cardiovascular Health for Men
May 22, 2024
I do firmly believe that if someone is gonna get TRT, the first thing they need to get set in their head is they gonna do the work other than injecting the testosterone or rubbing the cream on or rubbing the gel on They have to get it in their head that this is incredibly helpful and it life but it not going to work as well as you want it to, unless you do all the other things that you have to, which again, does not have to, doesn't mean you have to do a part-time job being a bodybuilder. You just go to the gym, three, three full body workouts a week, training hard, get your steps in, get some, just some light aerobic cardio in, like get back in shape. And a lot of, I've seen a lot of changes, just people getting them better aerobic shape because our industry, they're all like lift weights. You don't need to do cardio, but now it's changing. Like 10 years ago when I was telling everybody that you're all out of shape, you need to get more aerobic fitness. They're like, oh, you're smoking crack you don't know what you're talking about now everybody's becoming hybrid athletes because they see the changes i mean if you even look at think about this okay we're making testosterone what delivers that testosterone through the rest of your body your bloodstream you have high blood pressure you have vessels that won't dilate you have really poor blood flow one of those places is going to be to your ding dong and balls how the hell like how the hell are you going to move stuff around the body? How are you going to take care of that? I remember Charles used to talk about guys who can't get a rock hard boner. He says it's basically a heart attack for your pecker. If you can't get a good hard boner, you're probably 10 years away from having a heart attack. Yeah. I think that's pretty recognized now as a thing. Seven to eight years after that happens, you're probably going to have a cardiac event. And yet most men don't realize. Well, and most men think they're just going to inject testosterone and it's automatically going to make them horny and have a libido, but that's not true. That's not true. Like you still need to get blood flow. You still need to be able to dilate. So part of that is getting control of your resting heart rate, getting control of your blood pressure and trying to get that, trying to get into some reason about a shape. And here's the thing, you start taking testosterone and you get a big hard boner and you got about one minute of sex into you before you're out of breath. Like that's, you can't even use what you've been taking it for. So you might as well get in good, good physical condition. A hundred percent loop or absolute pleasure to have you on. Um, if people are watching and they want to reach out to you, what's the best place to get in, get in contact? Probably, probably I hate social media, but you got to do it right.
