7 Best Exercises That Naturally Increase Testosterone in Men

If you don't exercise regularly, consult a certified personal trainer or talk to your doctor before trying any of these exercises

Deadlift: Sets: 5, Reps: 5, Rest: 5 min. Stand with your feet hip width. Bend your hips back to reach down and grasp the bar, hands just outside your knees. Keeping your lower back in its natural arch, drive your heels into the floor and pull the bar up along your shins until you’re standing with hips fully extended and the bar is in front of your thighs.

Back Squat: ​Sets: 5, Reps: 5, Rest: 5 min. Set a barbell on a power rack at about shoulder height. Stand in front of the bar and grasp it with hands at shoulder width and raise your elbows until your upper arms are parallel to the floor. Take the bar out of the rack and let it rest on your upper back—as long as your elbows stay up, you’ll be able to balance the bar. Step back and set your feet at shoulder width with toes turned out slightly. Squat as low as you can without losing the arch in your lower back.

Bench Press: Sets: 4, Reps: 8, Rest: 2 min. Grasp the bar just outside shoulder width and arch your back so there’s space between your lower back and the bench. Pull the bar out of the rack and lower it to your sternum, tucking your elbows about 45 degrees to your sides. When the bar touches your body, drive your feet hard into the floor and press the bar back up

Bentover Row: Sets: 4, Reps: 8, Rest: 2 min. Grasp the bar overhand at shoulder width and let it hang in front of your thighs. Bend at the hips and lower your torso until it’s nearly parallel to the floor. Bend your knees a bit to take tension off your hamstrings. Squeeze your shoulder blades together and pull the bar to your belly.

Shoulder Press: Sets: 4, Reps: 8, Rest: 2 min. Adjust the seat of a shoulder press machine so that the handles are at shoulder level. If you have shoulder problems, and if your machine allows it, grasp the handles so your palms face each other. Otherwise, grasp them with palms facing forward as normal. Make sure your elbows track in a normal pressing path as you press the handles overhead.

Chinup: Sets: 4, Reps: 8, Rest: 2 min. Grab a pullup bar underhand at shoulder width. Hang from the bar and then pull yourself up until your chin is over it.

Pushups: Sets: 4, Reps: 10, Rest: 2 min. Place your hands on the floor at shoulder width, keeping your abs braced and your body in a straight line, squeeze your shoulder blades together. Lower your body until your chest is an inch above the floor.
