One of the Craziest things about Building Muscles in this Era
It's been found that men's testosterone has been on the decline for years now, and that we have up to 50%+ less testosterone than men used to have 50 Years ago or so.
There are many reasons why this is, but I'll say we don't even need that much testosterone in the world today. Testosterone makes you strong and manly, but especially strong, and what do we need all that strength for?
We don't fight
We don't farm
We don't hunt
We don't chop or carry wood
Many of us never even walk up to 1 KM per week. Lol. All these are things men could hardly go a day without doing.
I'm not saying there aren't other good uses for testosterone like sex, good health, happiness, I'm just saying all of these to say I've been working out, building muscles and feeling really strong and guess what's coming with all the strength? The feeling that it's all wasting!
It feels good being stronger and feeling healthy, but apart from working out there's nothing else to do with all the energy. You'd just wish there was something productive to do with it, something that can bring food or money.
Energy wasn't meant to just sit around like that not producing anything. Men in the past would have used it to hunt, or farm, or build, or walk long distances to buy things or something. They would have chopped wood all day for the fire. But what can I do now?
I don't have to do any of the above to survive. And all the things I need to do to earn a living has to do with just brain work. Writing, researching, things like these that only require me to sit down and think and type.
All I can do is lay the pipe now 😉, so I guess I have to focus on that a lot more 😁.

Thank you!
I like how you connected working out and testosterone with the reality of modern life. It's a bitter true that many men don't need physical strength for survival anymore, yet the energy is still there. Anyway, it is good to take good care of one's health as it shouldn't be compromised.
I was just listening to a podcast the other day and one of the reasons mens testosterone levels are shit is because most men put their cell phones in their pockets. Having them so close to our balls destroys and denatures the testosterone far worse than things like BPA do. Pretty wild!
I’ve been holding my phone in my hand more because of that, and also turning off wifi and things like that from the settings not just silencing it. It all helps!
I've heard about that too. I guess we've really gotta take that seriously.
