Great Goalkeeping Muscle Gains with Testosterone
by Testosterone is a steroid hormone secreted by the testes.
It helps form fundamental male sex characteristics, maturation and growth of the male skeletal system. Testosterone is important in the growth of muscles and can also produce aggressive behavioral responses. Why is natural testosterone important for
the competitive goalkeeper? Testosterone secreted naturally from high intensity training will, over time, elicit great training responses in the working muscles. Women tend to have low concentrations of testosterone than men.How to generate it naturally, these include:
1. Performing large muscle group exercises like the squat, power clean, dead lift, bench press. What we mean by large muscle groups is many major and minor muscles working together
synergistically during a given exercise.
2. Heavy resistance training at 85-95% of 1 RM.
3. Moderate to high volume exercise – such as multiple sets, multiple exercises or both.
4. Short rest intervals
