On a related note:
One of the advantages of weightlifting (at least for a middle aged cisgendered male) is that it increases testosterone production.
Significantly lowered levels can have some really bad outcomes as one age, ie killing energy levels, libido, physical strength etc.
- xupybd 5y agoYeah it really helps. I'd recommend heavy deadlifts to any middle aged male. It's a huge energy booster.
- sundvor 5y agoI just wanted to say thanks for reminding me that deadlifts is the really big one. I've been mainly focusing on my squats in my garage gym (full Olympic barbell/bench/rack with spotter bars/extra Olympic EzyCurl bar) setup, but looking at my history I've let the big deadlift slip - 14 days since last session. So I took the 20 second trip to the gym last night to start fixing that, warmed up with squats and then just deadlifts - and can definitely feel the energy today (on top of the fatigue!). I've been struggling with energy lately due to a lot of change and stress, so hopefully a renewed focus on the deadlift will be helpful. Cheers.
