It may still help you train harder and see temporary workout-related hormone spikes—and a single 2009 rugby study reporting higher DHT (a potent ...
Most men don’t need to “lose weight first” — a moderate calorie deficit paired with progressive resistance training and high protein can reduce body fat while preserving, and sometimes adding, lean mass by maintaining muscle protein synthesis. The key is getting leaner without the metabolic slowdown and strength loss that often come with aggressive cutting, ...
Caffeine-free energy drinks can boost focus without a “crash” by supporting real cellular energy—ATP production in the mitochondria (Krebs cycle) and oxygen/nutrient delivery—rather than blocking brain adenosine receptors, which masks fatigue while adenosine continues to accumulate. Here’s how ingredients like B-vitamins, amino acids, and electrolytes aim to power performance without triggering the cortisol-and-adrenaline stress spike. ...
Smart rings promise better sleep, better training, and better energy. Here is what “ultrahuman ring vs oura” really means for men, what the data can and cannot tell you, and how to use either ring like a clinician would. “A smart ring can’t diagnose you, but it can help you spot patterns that matter: short ...
