What Is The Neuroendocrine Response ?
Exercise initiates a coordinated series of physiological responses, including hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis.
This triggers androgen hormone release in response to a external physical stressor.

These are 3 MAIN principles behind the neuroendocrine response for optimal testosterone production.
Apply them in your training routine.

1) INTENSITY
The release of testosterone is best stimulated with heavy load resistance (85-95% 1RM) and short rest periods (120 seconds) under the stress threshold.

2) VOLUME
The magnitude of the hormonal response depends on the amount of muscle tissue stimulated.
The use of more tissue (such as bigger muscle groups) leads to a greater hormonal response.

3) HIERARCHY
Work large muscle groups before smaller ones & perform aerobic exercise before anaerobic.
Morning exercise is ideal for starting your metabolism, while afternoon exercise is best for boosting testosterone.
