HIIT cardio advice

HIIT cardio advice

Hi, What is the best way to utilise HIIT cardio to boost Test/HGH production and EQ? Is it actually the best method of cardio to improve these? Or is a 50/60% jog-brisk walk more effective?

A lot of the info on the web seems to be conficting in how to actually do HIIT, is 30 sec sprint/90 sec rest the best way? Or should I go all out and stop when I begin to fatigue from 90-100% effort?

Any help greatly appreciated

In my experience, HIIT does not mean go all out, then stop, then go all out again. It means alternating between hi intensity, or 90+% effort, and intervals of lower effort activity. Think of running around a track. You would sprint down the straightaways, then break into a jog around the turns. Sprinting as hard as you can as you reach the next straight stretch. But that is what is meant by HIIT. As far as what maximizes test levels or HGH, you are going to find tons of contradictory information. Because that is what is out there. Performing a Google search on your own will turn up just as good an answer, or perhaps answers, as you’re likely to find here. Good luck.

I’ve done many google searches, would be nice to just hear from a few guys on what they found most effective. Its very difficult to find the answers on thundersplace through the search bar because they are not thread specific but rather flag up any post where ‘cardio’ was mentioned, and it gets tedious lol.

I’m definitely swaying towards HIIT at the moment, but people express the same penis/sexual benefits of slower cardio like brisk walks which is putting me in a dilemma of which route to proceed in

I am of the opinion that while certain routines may up certain hormone levels, the difference it will make in the long run is really, really minimal. Eat healthy, train hard and get lots of sleep. Rest and recovery are way more important than intervals or sets and reps. I think every hour of sleep you can get before midnight is worth two hours of sleep you get after it, or something like that. It’s like making yourself go to bed at hours that seem like they would better fit a little kid, but that is actually what is best for you.

@tropical94 - I started focusing on my fitness about 10 months back. I started with HIIT - since it takes relatively shorter time to complete, and so it was easier to incorporate in my daily schedule.

It definitely goes without saying that a good routine is important.

However.. Much more important factors, per me, are:

1. Compound exercises - work several muscle groups - I slowly transitioned to weight training as I developed the habit of sticking to a routine. (I was a lazy ass before).
2. Eat good fats and a good amount of cholesterol - Your body needs the cholesterol to produce testosterone. Although your body can produce cholesterol on its own, providing additional cholesterol through diet - especially when lifting heavy - helps with production of more testosterone, and consequently, better morning wood. (Eggs are probably the healthiest food you can eat. Don’t throw away the yellow).
3. Adequate rest - get deep sleep - This is the most important out of all factors. Sleep is likely the most anabolic naturally occurring phenomenon.

If you want a test boost, lift heavy (do compound exercises - barbell squats and deadlifts. They help you put on lots of strength and good amount of muscle throughout the body), eat lots (clean - not the junk), and sleep like a kid (literally - try to get at least 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep, with as much sleep as possible before midnight).

Hope this helps.

Goal:8" BPEL

Hello Tropical.

If cardio is involved, forget walking. You’ll need to get your heart rate up to 60-85% of your maximum which is usually defined as 220-(your age). 200bpm if you’re 20 ! See an expert if you’re not at least a bit fit but I reckon bike/“spin” classes can be a start. Can be full of wankers but if you can put up with that and the often awful music, they are really get your heart rate up. You will need to be dripping sweat. Later you can make your own routine up. I gather HIIT should be short and sharp. Google the heart rate stuff too. Good luck mate.


Start 9th May 2018. 6.00” BPEL. 5.75 “ MEG. end-newbies: 19th Aug 2018. 6.75” BPEL 6.00” MEG. 20th Sept 6.9” BPEL 6.00” MEG. June 2019 7.25 BEL x 6.1 MEG with cockring on.

Target: An extra inch in length. No fancy car, just an extra inch in length.

Super helpful, all noted! I’m doing bodyweight exercises at the moment, will these suffice? Hoping to get a decent squat rack and some free weights for the garage soon though :)
