How Testosterone Can Help You Gain Weight

If you want to gain weight, then you must understand that the biological state which your body is in when it is building muscle is called anbolism and anabolism is the only condition you want to be in if your objective is to put on serious muscular weight. Unfortunately, thin people or hardgainers as they are sometimes called, are seldom ever in an anabolic state due to their naturally high metabolic rate and their natural dominance of catabolic hormones (muscle breakdown hormones).

Therefore, if you are the skinny type who wants to put on weight, you must increase your own production of anabolic hormones, human growth hormones and in particular, testosterone which is the main hormone for building muscles.

The problem is that research has shown that only about one percent of a hardgainer's testosterone levels are actually available for stimulating muscle growth. This is bad news indeed and is one of the main reasons why skinny people ended up losing their muscle weight they are able to put on from all their gym workouts.

You see, and I am assuming that you are a hardgainer and a skinny person's body naturally gets rid of every ounce of muscle you gain because of decreasing testosterone level and increasing muscle breakdown catabolic hormones! So what can you do to prevent this from happening?

Well, the good news is that there is a solution. Simply just raise the level of your anabolic hormones such as testosterone in your body. No, I am definitely not advocating that you use synthetic growth hormones (steroids) to do that. In fact, it could be dangerous if you do that. The solution is to make your body produce more of its own natural anabolic growth hormones such as tesosterone and insulin!

Ask any bodybuilder or muscular guy and they will tell you how important it is to rake up their testosterone levels in order to pack on pounds and pounds of muscle weight. So the questions are how are you going to make your body produce more testosterone? How to tweak your body's anabolic overdrive by simultaneously increasing testosterone production while saturating your muscle fibers with a flood of muscle mass building insulin to force your muscle fibers to grow far beyond their present limitations?

Here is a trick for accomplishing this powerful hormone boosting benefit. You see, your body's growth hormones and testosterones surge at night when you sleep. This is the time your body builds and repairs muscle. Yes, you gain muscles when you sleeping, not at the gym as commonly thought.

But the problem is that when you wake up in the morning, your testosterone level takes a sharp dive and the leftover testosterone gets unused by your muscles and your body's catabolic hormones take over. However you can overcome this challenge and retain or even increase your testosterone level.

So when you wake up in the morning, immediately consume a high glycemic meal of sugary and starchy carbohydrates and high quality protein, such as a banana, some breakfast cereals and whey protein shake mixed with non-fat milk. This combination of nutrients will create a short term spike of insulin that will act as a fast transportation for your remaining testosterones and shoot it directly into your muscle cells to stop catabolic muscle loss and allow more muscular growth. It is just this simple!

Try this method to retain your testosterone and growth hormones and see if it works for you. Another easy method is to take human growth hormones and testosterone realeasers supplements to stimulate your natural anabolic productions. These are herbal supplements to encourage your body to produce more of your natural growth hormones.

The thing to remember is this, if you really want to gain muscle weight, then you must increase your testosterone and insulin level. There are many other ways you can do this and I will talk about them in another article.
