To my understanding testoserone is an important part of bodybuilding for muscular growth. So how do you (naturally!) keep these levels high? More/less sex (etc...), are there specific types of food (greens?).

I've never really thought about it before and I'm wondering how important it is.
 
*howwwwwlllllll*

My diets getting better after the christmas period. Plus i'm only working weekends at the moment so no going 4 and a half hours without food!

It's absolutely essential!

You can't build much muscle without it. It's why women can't get big without steroids and why men start putting on weight easier once they hit their 30's and it gets worse in 40's, then 50's etc as men's natural test levels drop. Test builds muscle and strips fat.

Alcohol obliterates your natural testosterone levels. Just a few pints will affect them and a good night out consisting of around 8 pints will lower your test for over 2 weeks! If you're serious about building muscle then drinking is a big no go.

There are supposed test boosters, like ZMA, tribulus and a few others but there's no real proof and they're pointless for anyone under the age of 30.

Thanks for the post Chong. I very rarely have 8 pints in one night! 4 is usually the most, and I try and drink things like guinness and hoegaarden, they end up lasting longer as I can't drink them as fast as carlsberg etc.
