One of the most significant factors is a lack of motivation. Underachieving men may lack the drive to pursue their goals, or they may feel overwhelmed by the challenges they face. This lack of motivation can be caused by a variety of factors, including low self-esteem, depression, and anxiety.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnother factor that contributes to underachievement is a lack of direction.

It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.” - Socrates Qualify women based on factors besides sex.

There are enough resources for all of us. Did she dump you? Fine. Build your body, wealth and health then find someone better. Lost your job? Fine. Build your skills and find another one. Be in a state of constant growth. Quit the victim mindset. No one will hand you anything in life and no one cares. You have to make lemonade with the lemons you have been handed. Don\u0026rsquo;t play the victim. Don\u0026rsquo;t be the victim. Buy things. Ownership is key. Cut all the crap about renting. Buy property. Do what scares you.

Someone caused your business to go down? Be the kind of man who can start another one. Lost your job? Learn a skill then monetize. Never depend on anyone or anything. Become self-sufficient. Identify your beliefs and stick to them Inspire others. Look life is hard as it is. We all have different challenges but the fact remains, everyone has challenges. Be the kind of man who lifts people up. The one who inspires them to be more. Take everything in life with a grain of salt. Your life is 100% your responsibility. So act like it.

It\u0026rsquo;s alright!\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTestosterone is the lifeblood for men. Low testosterone can impact all areas of your life. You\u0026rsquo;ll have depression, become unable to get it up, lose ambition, become dull, have low libido, low mental performance, low memory, low metabolism, and the list goes on.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToday I want to cover how you can increase testosterone and feel GREAT!

It\u0026rsquo;s a simple blood test. Remember to check FREE TESTOSTERONE. Relatively inexpensive, depending on where you get it done.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEat more meat and eggs\u003c/strong\u003e - Especially organic grass-fed fatty beef and organic eggs. I won\u0026rsquo;t go into the bro-science here as I believe this deserves its own article, which I\u0026rsquo;m working on. Just eat more meat and eggs. Grass-Fed Beef is one of the most nutritionally dense food on the planet plus it has zinc and fatty acids. Remember testosterone synthesis requires cholesterol! Even the end product: testosterone is for a lack of a better word \u0026ldquo;oily\u0026rdquo;. Let proteins make up half your plate. Organ meats are even better especially the liver. If you are feeling adventurous, eat the balls too!\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReduce running. Do sprints\u003c/strong\u003e - I respect the runners out there but scientific studies have shown that sprinting can increase testosterone by 40%. So do regular sprints.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLift heavy things\u003c/strong\u003e - Lifting heavy weights/things has been shown to boost testosterone considerably. It\u0026rsquo;s why gym-goers are so muscular(Testosterone is vital in muscle building). I\u0026rsquo;d suggest compound workouts that hit multiple muscles and muscle groups at the same time. Remember you don\u0026rsquo;t have to go to the gym to build muscle. There are bodyweight exercises and random household objects e.g that 10 liter bottled water or that heavy shopping bag.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGet some sun, son!\u003c/strong\u003e - Red light/infrared has been shown to boost testosterone by almost 60%. Plus Vitamin D is a requirement for testosterone synthesis. Get some sun and while you are at it sun your genitals/balls. This will drive up that percentage even more. Remember consistency is key. Just make sure you don\u0026rsquo;t get your little friends too hot as I\u0026rsquo;m sure you know high heat kills sperms.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCold showers\u003c/strong\u003e - There\u0026rsquo;s a reason why your 2 little friends hang on the outside. They can\u0026rsquo;t take the hit(sorry I meant heat but you know). Plus studies show that planned and timed exposure to stress(especially the cold) is, actually good for you. Men were meant to dominate. The more good things that stress you short term the better. You don\u0026rsquo;t want constant stress just a timed exposure. Constant stress leads to an increase in cortisol and that actually decreases testosterone.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLose weight/fat\u003c/strong\u003e - Especially around your midsection. Fat has something called \u0026ldquo;aromatase\u0026rdquo; that actually turns testosterone into estrogen and that is the worst thing that can happen to a man. Estrogen is fine in very low levels. Trust me, you don\u0026rsquo;t want this increasing. Lose weight bro! Build muscle. Muscle actually has the reverse effect. Yes everyone has abs but they are muscle, train them.

On the contrary, it\u0026rsquo;s a man who is in constant pursuit of things far greater than himself. Constantly improving himself and those around him.
