If I may ask, do you get your testosterone levels tested? I have no reason to doubt that your feeling better and stronger is related to higher testosterone, but there may be psychological factors that aren't related to testosterone. I know I feel stronger (not necessarily physically) after finishing a good piece of writing but I doubt my testosterone levels suddenly jumped. (Maybe they did -- it's not practical to get an instant test.)
"The only thing really fixing your T levels is physical danger and exertion." Well, that and testosterone replacement therapy. Don't knock it! I'm on it but I'm also in the gym six days a week pushing myself hard.
Some really interesting thoughts there Alex! I wonder if you had given much thought to if your "fight" needs to be a physical fight or more facing a stressing adventurous challenge? Currently reading John Eldridge book Wild at Heart and has got me thinking about expanding this thought to finding the likes of adventurious challenges, maybe things like white water rafting, motor biking, say long distance hikes, that sort of thing?
Great stuff Alex. Have also spent the last couple of years being put through the ringer on the BJJ mat!
It’s a sacred place!
