Not a lot of people know this but the hormonal boost from high intense workout increases if you give the body a day or two for rest.

Doris Yates talked about the importance of rest and how constant training is like scraping sandpaper. It doesn't do anything.

It's also better for your immune system
 
so the intensity of the boost is higher but it’s less frequent. By nature

Just take enough days off the let each muscle group recover. Lifting 4 or 5 days a week
is pretty standard.

Have you tried activating your almonds? Also your cold exposure routine might be ass. A lot of people Wim when they're supposed to Hof. They get it backwards.

Bro, I been doing all that. Even sunning my perineum. That's when you put direct sunlight on your gootch. Chakras aligned and everything.

We need one of the diabetes pin prick testers for test levels.

Dis bitch almost got it done and then got railroaded by the Illuminati for knowing too much. Heard they were working on a home MRI/CT/Air fryer combo too. Shit woulda been cash.

People make a big deal out of this, but is the boost enough to even be worth wasting any mental energy on? Spoiler, I don't think so. And now you want to spend energy on the degree of boost. To be clear I do think overtraining can become a problem but DY surely was not referring to this natty boost but rather recovery as a whole.
 
Depends on intensity and volume. High-frequency training should work if you program it intelligently. And yeah, if you had to go through one of Yates' sessions, I'm sure a rest day would be warranted.
 
Bro.
If I lift Monday - 500mg test
Tuesday - 500mg
Wednesday - 1gram

No matter the days, my balls are grapefruits and my backne is like the Moon.

Aint no test loss lifting daily unless you broke (and a bitch)

And then there is also empirical evidence that shows squatting heavy and hard every day works. In fact, some athletes win gold medals doing exactly that.

lol
 
Different approaches in different contexts. If you're training a combat sport 5-6 days per week for 2-3 hours each, it's kinda hard to make room for and recover from additional "high intensity workouts", regardless of what testosterone boost that may or may not bring, since where I come from, you're supposed to leave your best efforts on the mat. Dorian (?) Yates surely didn't have these problems.
So in that context, we are either talking extra "medium intensity workouts" every second day, or extra "low intensity workouts" every day; then, the next question is if you rotate or split the exercises from workout to workout or do the same few every time. It will also depend on your recovery rate, injury history etc.

And to add to the "it will also depend" part, Test is not the only thing that matters for recovery, performance, growth, immune health etc, it's a very complicated and interdependent. Subpar level of any one factor, say sleep, can have a major effect.
 
You should also note that if you fast, you can increase your natural human growth hormones up to 20x after 24 hrs of fasting for men, and up to 16x for women. Seems like the optimal option would be to fast for 24 hrs, then workout and eat some protein/fats and then take a nap/sleep session just after eating. Your body heals itself the most during sleep.

With all due respect I'm calling bullshit. Never seen near that much. Same idea as alluded to in my previous post with regard to the OP, this effect is very overblown. Of course I can not prove a negative but I would challenge you and anyone else to provide some solid evidence before claiming such things as fact.
I love to learn and think it would be great if this were true but I've never seen any real evidence, a well run peer reviewed study or the like. Please, anyone, provide if you have something.

Optimal for what? As always it depends on the goal but even if what you assert above was proven to be true one day I don't think it's fair to say it's that simple. There would be negs to consider with this approach as well.
For example the first 2 that come to mind -
24 hrs with no "fresh" nutrients ie protein, fats and other "building block" nutrients for repair and new construction , hormone production etc.
Potential sub optimal workout performance due to lack of energy.

I'm not saying it's the worst pan ever, just seems easy to disqualify it as being "optimal" but for some very specific, narrow outcomes.
