Supplements?

Add a low cholesterol diet to this, and thats everything that has been "proven". Supplements are all BS, unproven, and unregulated. Take baby aspirin to thin your blood. Its all very mechanical; fluid dynamics. Blood is the fluid, heart is the pump, circulatory system is the piping curcuit. You need a good pump, clean pipes, and a low viscosity fluid to keep that thing at its hardest.
Generally, anything marketed as a testosterone "booster" is total bullshit and a waste of money. If you carry a lot of body fat, losing weight is probably the #1 natural approach to influencing your hormones beneficially, because body fat increases estrogen in males. Same goes for smoking a lot of pot. Even exercise, which does slightly "boost" testosterone, only does so during and (very) shortly after your workout. I don't think there are any ways of really increasing your testosterone in any kind of lasting systemic way other than (of course) actually taking exogenous testosterone (i.e. TRT).
I will be 57 in January.
I have no problems at all getting off 2 pops in 1 hour.
I take 7 vitamin pills every day, including zinc and magnesium.
I also do resistance workouts 3 days a week, abs 5 days a week, and do brisk walking for 50 - 60 miles a week (and do isometrics and dynamic resistance exercises while walking). Not saying this will work for everyone, but it works for me.
I also drink way too much..but the exercise seems to negate it. So far...
Also, very few sweets and no soda/surgary drinks.

Like others have said, all that stuff is probably bullshit. The main things you can do to help your testosterone levels are lifting heavy weights, eating well (meaning that you're getting enough good fats and proteins, no sugar, no alcohol) and getting plenty of sleep. Or you can jump on gear. But anything you buy at GNC is just wasting your money.
I agree with most of what you said except this. Resistance training does spike your natural testosterone production; but what matters is the amount of effort (i.e. training to failure), not the amount of weight involved. More importantly, unless you’re rushing to a date right after training, any spike will be gone. The most that training does is spike your natural testosterone production temporarily while you’re actually training and for a very short time immediately afterwards; it does not raise your testosterone production at all beyond that.
