Mojo Mastery | Leaner, Harder & Higher Free T These next 30 days are going to be a blast. We are going to fix your body from the inside out. Over these next 30 days, you are going to become leaner, stronger, and harder. We are going to reduce estrogen, power up your total testosterone, and increase your free testosterone. The result will be breathtaking. You’re going to have more energy, more ambition, sleep better, look better, feel more powerful and attractive, and increase your masculine presence. Men today are not the same. Men’s testosterone levels have dropped 30-40% in the last 4 decades. Each and every year, men's T levels are falling. We will get into the exact reasons for this breakdown of masculine hormonal output soon. 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 1 Greg O’Gallagher Of course, there’s a subset of men who are going against the grain. They are taking the correct steps and actions to feel absolutely invincible naturally. I’m going to share these steps with you. You see, I believe most men have the brakes on their own testosterone production. When you remove the hand break and take the correct steps, your body's testosterone production ramps up very quickly. Hence the 30 day challenge to master your mojo. This is when gaining muscle, losing fat, and building a chiseled and proportionate physique becomes almost effortless. If your free T levels are not optimized, it is near impossible to build a great physique naturally. I’ve taken the correct steps to get my Free T to the absolute top of the natural range (22-25ng/dl). I’m going to share the exact steps with you! Benefits of Optimizing Free T 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 2 Greg O’Gallagher When you optimize your free T, you increase your ambition and drive, leadership knack, and dopamine system and support your ability to percolate to the top. Optimizing your free T is one of the best things you can do for a better life. You wake up to build the life of your dreams. Your confidence doubles, your work ethic improves and your sex/dating life transforms. Men with higher free T have an unfair advantage. I’m going to unlock that advantage for you. But first of all, don’t be alarmed if you feel like your life is going the wrong way. If you feel like the currents are moving against you. When your own T production is down, life becomes fkn hard. Achieving your goals feels like pulling teeth. It is almost as if you are hardwired to struggle and just float along. When your T production is down, separating from the pack becomes near impossible. Your own biology will not allow it. You will not have the desire and drive to go after the most beautiful women. You will not have the drive and confidence to go for the highest-paying jobs or compete for maximum success. You will not have the confidence and drive to build the life of your dreams and get into awe-inspiring shape. This is also why when men reach their 50’s and beyond, they often lose their edge. The natural drop in testosterone from age and the exaggerated drop in testosterone for many other reasons - causes them to lose their drive and desire to stay at the top of their game. 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 3 Greg O’Gallagher Men Are Fatter Today Men these days are sporting higher body fats than ever before. In fact, men’s waistlines have grown over the last few decades. Your waistline and testosterone output is inversely correlated. The bigger your waistline, the less testosterone you produce. You see, excess body fat increases estrogen production and lowers testosterone substantially. Furthermore, if body fat becomes too high, you can develop hypogonadism whereby your body can’t produce enough testosterone for basic health. Having a taut waist is extremely important to achieve a lean physique. The ideal waistline in men is about 0.45x your height. If you’re 6’0 tall you want to strive for a 32.5” waist. This should be measured around your bellybutton first thing in the morning. If your waist is above 50% of your height, testosterone levels will plummet substantially. 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 4 Greg O’Gallagher In the 30 day challenge, I’ll show you exactly how to melt off excess body fat with ease. For now, just understand the importance of a lean body for health. Resources: NIH Study of Obesity Impact on T Men Are Weaker Today Men are weaker today than they were three decades ago. In fact, grip strength is a decent predictor of overall strength, and grip strength has dropped quite substantially. Men are not as strong as they used to be. I believe training for strength gives your body a reason to increase total testosterone and unlock more free testosterone. In fact, lifting heavy free weights has been shown to increase free testosterone substantially. 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 5 Greg O’Gallagher To maximize testosterone production, it is important to become strong. You want to perform 2-3 very intense strength workouts per week. And you want to build up to some serious lifts. I’m talking about 80 lbs weighted chin-ups and shoulder presses with 80 lbs dumbbells and heavier. Being lean and strong is key to maximizing your hormonal output. When your free T is optimized, it becomes even easier to support a stronger, leaner, harder body. Resources: PubMed Study on Free Weights Poor Sleep Quality 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 6 Greg O’Gallagher Sleep quality is one of the most important keys for maintaining optimal testosterone production. In fact, poor sleep can drop your body's testosterone production by 10-15%. Considering that most male’s T levels drop 1% per year after 30, this is effectively aging you 10-15 years. What’s more, poor sleep quality reduces your vigor, energy, willpower and even your ability to gain muscle and lose fat. In fact, a single night of sleep deprivation can induce anabolic resistance and a catabolic (breakdown) environment and reduce testosterone by 25%. Getting high-quality sleep every night is absolutely paramount. This means 8 hours of quality sleep. I recommend using black-out blinds (any light that comes through will disrupt REM sleep, this includes street lamps or any lights from electronics in your room). I even keep my phone in a different room when I sleep. As well, I recommend sleeping at 62-68f. Your body needs to cool down to properly produce melatonin. I recommend sleeping naked with high-quality natural sheets (cotton/bamboo, not synthetic fibers). Alcohol/weed in the evening disrupts quality REM sleep. Getting your sleep dialed is one of the best things you can do for your overall health, performance, and testosterone production. Quality sleep even supports your greatest gene expression. A great exercise to do to improve sleep is known as box breathing. Breathe 4 seconds in through the nose, pause for 4 seconds, exhale through the mouth for 4 seconds and pause for 4 seconds. Do this 10x. This will help you relax immensely and shift into an optimal state for sleeping. 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 7 Greg O’Gallagher Nutrition Quality is Down Compared to the 1970s, humans today are eating more calories and less quality food. We're eating more grains and vegetable oils than ever before. Yet we're eating less meat and fruit and vegetables. In fact, half of our calories come from just two food groups - flour/grains and oils. Most of the oils are soybean, corn, and canola oils used as ingredients or for cooking. Cooking with or using vegetable oils has been shown to decrease testosterone levels in males. These oils are high in polyunsaturated fatty acids that can reduce testosterone. This is because fatty acids are prone to oxidation, which can damage the cell's ability to produce testosterone. 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 8 Greg O’Gallagher I recommend utilizing extra virgin olive oil, grass-fed butter, or coconut oil for cooking. In fact, extra virgin olive oil has been shown to support testosterone levels. Furthermore, we are also eating less meat and fruit, and vegetables than we used to. Of the meat, we are also consuming less beef and more chicken. I believe steak is a superfood. The nutritional density is insane. Lean beef is very high in protein, iron, zinc, selenium, and b vitamins. Steak is also very high in beneficial nutrients like carnitine, choline, and creatine, that are hard to come by. My favorite cuts of beef are leaner cuts like flank, skirt, striploin, and filet. As well as 93% lean ground beef. Now interestingly enough, our sugar consumption is down about 20% compared to 1999. In 1999, our testosterone levels were 25% higher than they are today. But we are consuming more corn-based sugars - like high fructose corn syrup. I recommend avoiding high fructose corn syrup. It has been shown to raise CRP, which is linked to inflammation. Real added sugar has both glucose and fructose, this is much easier for your body to process. Getting unnaturally high amounts of fructose is stressful on the liver. In the 30 day challenge, I’ll provide the ideal eating plan to support sky-high testosterone levels. I’ll ensure it is absolutely enjoyable too. Resources: Pubmed Olive Oil Study 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 9 Greg O’Gallagher Lack of Sunlight & Vitamin D Vitamin D and testosterone output are linked. If you are not getting sufficient vitamin D effectively the brakes are put on your own testosterone production. If you can’t get moderate natural sun exposure, I recommend supplementing with 5000 IU’s of vitamin D daily. This is one of the best steps you can take to support health and improve testosterone production. I like to opt for a Vitamin D + K supplement. Resources: PubMed Vitamin D Study 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 10 Greg O’Gallagher Men Are Exposed to Estrogen and Hormone Disruptors Men are exposed to a high amount of estrogens and endocrine disruptors on a daily basis. Scented products - body wash, laundry detergent, cologne, hair products, deodorant, shaving creams, facial products, highly toxic sunscreens… The list goes on. Multiple times per day, men are putting endocrine disruptors onto their skin to be easily absorbed into their bloodstream. These endocrine disruptors can halt your body's own testosterone production. I recommend using an all-natural deodorant, soap, and shampoo/conditioner. Skip the cologne and fragrance. And always go for unscented detergents. When you are in peak health and stay clean - your natural scent will be the most attractive. As well, when you build up higher amounts of free Testosterone, your natural scent will be intoxicating to the opposite sex. 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 11 Greg O’Gallagher Foods that Reduce Testosterone Flax, Mint, Nuts, Green Tea, Licorice, Soy Milk and dairy are all know to be anti androgenic which means the can block testosterone production. Flax seeds are high in a compound called lignan that reduces testosterones in males. Mint has been thought to be anti androgenic for many years. It reduces the levels of free testosterone in the blood. Licorice has phytoestrogens and can reduce testosterone. Soy products are estrogenic and can reduce testosterone levels in men. Green tea may have anti-androgen effects as it contains epigallocatechin, which inhibits the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Nuts such as almonds, walnuts have high levels of phytosterols. This compound can suppress testosterone synthesis. As well, nuts are high in polyunsaturated fatty acids that can further reduce T levels. 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 12 Greg O’Gallagher Commercial milk is very high in estrogen and prolactin and has been shown to slow down testosterone production in men after drinking. Resources: NIH on Anti-Androgens PubMed Study on Estrogen Exposure Phone in Pocket The more time your phone is in your pocket, the lower your testosterone levels are. The testes are extremely vulnerable to the effects of cell phone radiation. I recommend not keeping your phone in your pocket unless you put it on airplane mode. Resources: NIH Study on Radiation Impact on T 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 13 Greg O’Gallagher Marijuana Weed suppresses testosterone levels for at-least 24 hours. As well, weed also blunts the dopamine (motivation) pathway. A strong high functioning dopamine system and testosterone is linked. I recommend keeping weed to an absolute minimum. If you’re a daily user, your testosterone production is literally suppressed nonstop. As well, your motivation and dopamine system becomes blunted. Resources: PubMed Study - Impact of Weed on T 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 14 Greg O’Gallagher Synthetic Underwear Synthetic fabrics have endocrine disrupting chemicals. Wearing these fabrics snugged tightly against your family jewels is a recipe for disaster. In fact, some research shows that wearing synthetic fabrics like polyester has an almost contraceptive effect - reducing sperm quality dramatically. It’s also important to wear loose fitting boxers - as opposed to tight boxers. This is because the testicles must stay cool to perform optimally. Resources: Science Daily Study 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 15 Greg O’Gallagher Tap Water The quality of the water you pour down your throat everyday matters. Even our tap water can disrupt hormonal output and testosterone production. Our own tap water is loaded with endocrine disrupting chemicals. Tap water is loaded with disinfection by-products, fluorinated compounds, BPA, phthalates, pesticides and natural and synthetic estrogens. Exposure to these compounds is associated with adverse health and reproductive outcomes in animals and humans. I like to drink Flow water or Evian (which uses BPA free bottles) and sparkling water from glass bottles. But there’s also a bunch of companies that can deliver great quality water to your house at affordable prices. Cedar springs is one for example. Resources 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 16 Greg O’Gallagher NIH on Endocrine Disrupters Alcohol, Binge Drinking & Beers Interestingly enough, a low dose of alcohol has been shown to increase testosterone levels - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12711931/. 2-3 drinks of alcohol 2x per week is fine. Now this study shows that drinking 3 beers per day dropped testosterone about 6-7%. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15166654/ … Now beer is not the ideal alcohol because it is high in an estrogenic compound called hops. As well, drinking alcohol every night can really mess with sleep quality. I speculate there would be little to no drop if it was only 2-3x per week and with a different form of alcohol like liquor or red wine. 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 17 Greg O’Gallagher That said, heavy drinking can plummet testosterone levels quite dramatically. Alcohol can interfere with the Leydig cells, which produce testosterone. Further, alcohol can decrease the production of precursor hormones like luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone. Resources: Moderate Alcohol Consumption Alcohol’s Effects on Male Reproduction New Sedentary Lifestyle A sedentary, inactive lifestyle is linked with lower levels of testosterone and impaired sperm quality. In fact, these days, people are spending more time sitting and watching TV than ever before. 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 18 Greg O’Gallagher Interestingly enough, too much sitting can even support erectile dysfunction as sitting can cut off proper blood flow to the groin. Prolonged sitting obstructs blood flow to the genitals. Now doing 2-3 intense lifting sessions per week is not enough to combat this. One must also walk. I recommend getting 10,000 steps daily. In fact, our hunter gatherer ancestors were known to walk 16,000 to 17,000 steps per day! Resources: PubMed Sedentary Lifestyle Study Chronic Stress Human beings are by design meant to handle short term acute stress. What we are not designed for is chronic low level stress. A chronic build up of cumulative stress can be very problematic. This also can become a vicious cycle as 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 19 Greg O’Gallagher testosterone can help you handle and regulate stress. But when testosterone drops it can be harder and harder. Learning how to handle stress is absolutely paramount. Journaling and morning meditation can be very valuable. As well, deep breathing can also be great to get inside your body and become present. I recommend everyone go through the Power of Now audiobook. This teaches you to become immersed in the present moment and not be controlled by your past or worried for the future. As well, mastering your perception is key. You must view yourself as a winner. In fact, winning raises testosterone and losing drops your testosterone. You must walk through life with absolute confidence. Resources: PubMed Study on Stress Impact on T Action Steps You Can Take Now that we have a clear idea on all the brakes that are halting your testosterone production - let’s get into the positive steps to take. Now, with that said, I do not want to stress you out with all of the issues disrupting your testosterone production. You must choose your own level of involvement. The main key is that you release the brakes on some of these mechanisms. As well, that you start to take positive steps. If you get more steps in daily (walking, lift two times per week, eat more steak, cut back on vegetable oils and switch to natural products - that is freaking awesome. Again, you choose your own level of involvement. I try my best to adhere to all of those, but I’m not perfect. The point is you can get insane results without being neurotic or perfect. This is especially the case if you include a few key supplements. 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 20 Greg O’Gallagher Short Daily Fast I recommend performing a short daily fast. This is a great way to keep your calories lower effortlessly and support a lean body. As well, while short term fasting doesn't seem to affect testosterone - fasting can raise growth hormone levels substantially. Growth hormone helps preserve muscle protein and shift fuel metabolism to fat burning. I recommend fasting for the first 4-6 hours of the day. If you wake up at 8am, fast until 12-2pm. During the fast drink water, sparkling water and black coffee or even pre workout. I recommend waiting 60-90 minutes before having caffeine - this will provide longer lasting energy and better appetite suppression. 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 21 Greg O’Gallagher I also recommend eating a smaller first meal and a larger dinner and saving some calories for a late night snack. I find this strategy works the best to adhere to. It makes slicing off body fat effortless. Resources: PubMed Study- Fasting and Hormones Sleep For sleep you want to get 8 hours of quality sleep per night. Black out set up (no light streaming in). I recommend investing in a pair of blue light blocking glasses to wear. Blue light, especially at night, from your devices disrupts circadian rhythm and melatonin production. 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 22 Greg O’Gallagher I also recommend sleeping at a cooler temperature 62-68 degrees F. Your body needs to cool down to properly produce melatonin. Keep caffeine intake modulated (same dose daily) and earlier in the day. Some journaling at night can help decompress you. I also like to do box breathing. 4 second inhale through the nose, 4 second pause, 4 second exhale through the mouth and 4 second pause. I’ll do this 10x. This helps reduce stress, lower brain waves, drop cortisol and put you into a better state to fall asleep. This comes from the military to improve sleep quality during high-stress environments. As well, the magnesium, zinc, and forskohlii that’s inside kino mojo can help improve sleep quality. Especially the magnesium. You can also do weighted blankets that seem to help with sleep quality. These are the strategies I’ve found most effective. Try to limit electronics in the late evening. It’s better to spend time with a friend or significant other than glued to your TV. As well, how you start your day sets the stage for a good night's rest. I recommend getting outside soon after you wake up. Natural sunlight exposure will help set your circadian rhythm. If you can get outside for 10-15 minutes before work and at lunch that will help mood and sleep quality immensely. 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 23 Greg O’Gallagher Walking Getting 10k steps is a great practice for overall health, leanness and can even support higher testosterone levels. In fact, getting very low steps (sub 4000) is more correlated with being hyogonadal (not being able to produce enough testosterone). Resources: PubMed Study on Walking 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 24 Greg O’Gallagher Sprinting Intense brief sprints are a great way to elevate testosterone. My favorite strategy is to perform a handful of 50-60 yard sprints. I’ll perform the first 3 sprints at an easy but progressively faster pace. And the next 3 sprints at 80-90% intensity. I don’t like to go all out as injury risk is higher. Resources: PubMed Study on Sprinting Benefits 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 25 Greg O’Gallagher Heavy Lifts Heavy lifting is great for boosting testosterone levels. There’s also some research showing that lifting free weights (dumbbells and barbells) to be superior for increasing free testosterone than machines. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32358310/ I recommend doing most of your training with free weights. Some supplemental machine exercises are totally fine to do. Two to three intense lifting sessions per week is perfect. To maximize muscle growth and strength gains, your body requires sufficient rest. Each session should be designed with a purpose - to get 1-2% stronger. To hit personal records. I believe that the biggest increase in free testosterone comes from this training style. When you track your lifts and push to either add a rep or add 5 lbs to the 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 26 Greg O’Gallagher bar! Once you build up the reps, you want to add weight to the bar and drop the reps down. Rinse and repeat. My favorite exercises are incline bench, overhead press, weighted chin-ups, Bulgarian split squats, and Romanian deadlifts. These elevate testosterone and produce a proportionate strong physique. Natural Products For shampoo/conditioner I like to use Andalou Naturals or Brickell For deodorant I like to use MAGSOL (hunter smells amazing) For Toothpaste Green beaver or Remin is Great Laundry Detergent (7th generation unscented is great) 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 27 Greg O’Gallagher Meditation Meditation is a great way to reduce stress and teach yourself to become present and enjoy a higher quality of life. Excessive chronic stress can inhibit your testosterone production. Learning how to become present and tolerate stress is a key strategy to maximize your body's ability to produce testosterone. My favorite meditation strategy is to listen to Practicing Power of Now for 20 minutes each morning. I listen with absolute focus. It’s a form of meditation. You learn how to become truly present and gain control of your mind. You learn how to cut the ties from negative thoughts and free yourself to become the person you want to be. Another great strategy I find that goes hand in hand is journaling. Journal out your thoughts, emotions, and stresses. Do a brain dump and get everything on 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 28 Greg O’Gallagher your mind out on paper or on a google note or Evernote. From there, start to make some decisions and plans and action steps. This is a very underrated tool that many successful people do and can help lower stress. Strong Mindset I wanted to finish with the most important last. Having the correct mental frame and perception is key. Most people go through life with a negative mindset and losing mental frame. When you win, Testosterone spikes, and when you lose testosterone drops. You must create a winning mindset. You are a winner. There is nothing bad that can happen by waking up and telling yourself that you are the fkn man. You must be thrilled to be you and set goals and work hard and give yourself a pat on the back when you make progress and hit goals. After losing 5 lbs do not 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 29 Greg O’Gallagher tell yourself you still have so long to go. Get excited, you are becoming leaner, stronger, and sexier. Enjoy it! Soak it in. This mindset will support top-tier dopamine signaling and better testosterone signaling. You must tell yourself you’re the fkn man! Get hyped up to build the life of your dreams. Get hyped up to smash the gym and take care of your body. Get hyped up to go after the women and life of your dreams. High Quality Foods I recommend building your diet off of animal protein - striploin, flank, extra lean ground beef, chicken, turkey, salmon, eggs… carbs - potatoes, sweet potatoes, white rice, fruits, veggies and some added fats - olive oil, butter, coconut oil, avocadoes. This should be 80% of your diet. If you want to fit in some cookies, chocolate or ice-cream or your favorite foods, you can too. I like to save some desserts for my late night stack. My go to right 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 30 Greg O’Gallagher now is either chocolate or cookies. I’m only human! Also raw honey seems to support testosterone levels as it is high in boron and raises the precursor to testosterone luteinizing hormone. Broccoli/cauliflower, onions, garlic and ginger seem to be great too. Typically I’ll fast for the first 4-5 hours of the day. Morning through 1pm - Fasting, black coffee, kino octane, sparkling water Meal #1 - Fruits & 4 Egg Omelet (toast optional) Dinner - Steak or Lean Meat, Broccoli, Crispy Potatoes (cooked in butter or olive oil) Late Night Dessert - 500 calories of chocolate & Collagen Protein & 1tsp honey High-Quality Water 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 31 Greg O’Gallagher I recommend drinking high-quality water. Tap water is loaded with endocrine-disrupting chemicals. A filter can be a positive step. You can also get high-quality water delivered to your home from glass bottles. Cedar Springs is a good example of this. Black Coffee / Caffeine Coffee/caffeine seems to have a positive effect on testosterone. As well, it can reduce estrogen levels. Caffeine can act as an aromatase inhibitor. This helps reduce estrogen synthesis. Specifically, caffeine before training seems to best boost testosterone. I recommend having 200-300mg of caffeine daily. This seems to offer clear benefits without the downsides of too much caffeine. I typically will have a kino octane earlier in the day to boost my energy, focus and dopamine signaling and then a cup of coffee a couple hours later or before I train. I’ve found 300mg of 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 32 Greg O’Gallagher caffeine daily to be the sweet spot. If you have too much caffeine, it can cause a moderate increase in cortisol and negatively impact sleep. Resources: PubMed Study-Caffeine Impact on T Calories To support fat loss, I recommend eating 300-400 calories below maintenance. To support muscle gain, I recommend eating 200 calories above maintenance. A simple calculation for fat loss is to eat 13 calories per pound of goal bodyweight. For muscle gain 16 calories per pound of goal bodyweight (no more than 10 pounds above current weight). If you go too low in calories, you will experience a drop in testosterone. If you go too high in calories, you will experience plenty of fat gain. Therefore you want to find the sweet spot. This tends to be 13 cals per pound of goal bodyweight for fat loss and 16 per pound of goal bodyweight for muscle gain. That said, this is 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 33 Greg O’Gallagher purely a starting point. For fat loss you want to lose about 0.75-1 lbs per week. For muscle you want to gain about 0.5 lbs per week. You can adjust calories as necessary. If you are losing weight too slow (cut 200 cals), too fast (add 200 cals). Gaining weight too slow on a lean bulk (add 200 cals), gaining weight too fast (cut 200 cals). Now if you simply want to maintain your weight you can eat about 14-15 cals per pound of bodyweight. If you’re 180 lbs that’s about 2600-2800 calories per day. You don’t have to track these calories exactly. Just focus on hitting the correct amount of calories and hitting your protein and getting a balance of fats and carbs. This is easily accomplished by eating plenty of lean meat, fruits, veggies, eggs, potatoes and using some butter, olive oil/coconut oil. And fitting in some treats. No need to shy away from carbs or fats. Macros 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 34 Greg O’Gallagher I recommend getting 25% calories from protein and 35% from fat, and 40% from carbs. This is a perfect balance of macronutrients to support hormonal output. For lean bulking, since calories are higher, you can do 20-25% protein, 30-35% fat, and 45% carbs. You don’t have to hit this number exactly, just be in the ballpark. Focus on eating plenty of lean protein, fruits, some rice/potatoes and don’t shy away from fat. It’s important to state that all macronutrients are important in testosterone production. Going too low in carbs suppresses testosterone and raises cortisol. Getting too little fat also drops testosterone. The key is balance. Plenty of lean protein, carbs, and some fats. Just like ol grandma’s cooking. Vitamin D 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 35 Greg O’Gallagher Vitamin D is key in testosterone production. Low vitamin d is correlated with lower testosterone levels. I recommend 5000 IU’s of vitamin d + k per day. The other option is to get natural sunlight a few times per week for 20-30 minutes. Resources: PubMed Vitamin D Study Zinc, Magnesium, Boron, Tongkat Ali, Forskohlii 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 36 Greg O’Gallagher The minerals and herbs most powerful in helping to increase total testosterone, reduce estrogen and free up more bound-up testosterone are - Zinc, Magnesium, Boron, Tongkat Ali & Forskohlii. You can learn about them all here (they are inside kino mojo). http://kinobody.com/mojo In fact, we are seeing 100-200+ point increases in total testosterone with just this supplement alone and 30-50%+ increases in free testosterone from just mojo alone. The Mojo Mastery Lifting Program This is the lifting program to support and carve out a movie star worthy physique. Build round shoulders, plate of armor chest, wide detailed back, powerful arms, and athletic strong legs. This routine will also ramp up athleticism and testosterone production and increase free testosterone. 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 37 Greg O’Gallagher The key movements we’ll be utilizing in this program are Incline DB Bench Press, DB Shoulder Press, Weighted Chin-ups, Bulgarian Split Squats and Romanian Deadlifts. As you become stronger on these key exercises, your physique will transform. You’ll also have a weekly sprint workout to do once per week. NOTES RPT = Reverse Pyramid Training. After performing lighter warm-up sets, perform your heaviest set first. Rest 3 minutes and drop the weight 10-15% for the second set. Perform 2-3 warm-up sets of 4-6 reps before doing the first heavy set. Build up to a tough set means starting light and performing progressively heavier sets. If it’s 4 sets of 6-8 reps, then build up to a heavy set of 6-8 reps for the 4th set. Example 40’s for 8, 50’s for 8, 60’s for 8 and 70’s for 6. Rest 2-3 minutes between sets. Rest-Pause = perform a set of 12-15 reps, then rest 10-15 seconds and perform 4-6 reps, rest 10-15s and perform 4-6 reps, rest 10-15s and perform 4-6 reps. Same weight the whole time. 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 38 Greg O’Gallagher If you can’t perform weighted chin-ups just perform 4 sets of 3-8 reps of chin-ups. Once you can do 4 sets of 8 reps, start to add weight to your first set. If you can’t perform at-least 3 chin-ups, you can perform the lat pulldown exercise. Workout 1 (Monday) Incline DB Bench: 2 sets - 6-8, 8-10 (RPT) Machine Chest Press or Weighted Push-ups: 4 sets of 8-10 (45-60s rest) Incline DB Curls: 4 sets of 6-8 reps (45-60s rest) Machine Rows: 2 sets of 10-15 (90s rest) Bent Over Flyes: 2 sets of 10-15 (90s rest) 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 39 Greg O’Gallagher Workout 2 (Wednesday) Bulgarian Split Squats: 4 sets of 6-8 (build up to tough set) Romanian Deadlifts: 4 sets of 10-15 (build up to tough set) Leg Extensions: 4 sets of 10-15 (45-60s rest) Farmers Shrugs: 30 reps + 10, 10, 10 (rest pause) 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 40 Greg O’Gallagher Workout 3 (Friday) DB Shoulder Press: 6-8, 8-10 (RPT) Weighted Hammer Chins: 6, 8 reps (RPT) DB Triceps Extensions: 4 sets of 8-10 (45-60s rest) Lateral Raises: 12-15 + 4-6, 4-6, 4-6 (rest pause) 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 41 Greg O’Gallagher Saturday Sprints or Hill Sprints (Optional) Sprinting is one of the best ways to boost testosterone and increase athletic power. A once-per-week sprint workout is absolutely perfect. One day you’ll be building your lower-body with weights, and one day per week, you’ll be increasing speed and power with sprinting. I recommend finding a field or track to perform your sprints on. Good footwear is required. I like to start with a 15-20 minute brisk walk to warm up. You can even throw in some light jogging by walking for 2 minutes and then jogging for a minute. The first four sprints should be easy and progressively faster. Then you can perform four hard sprints at 90% intensity. I like to avoid going at a full out 100% because this is where injuries and overtaxing your central nervous system is more common. 30 Day Mojo Mastery Challenge 42 Greg O’Gallagher The ideal sprint distance is about 60 yards for flat ground and 40-50 yards for up-hill. The distance should take at least 6-10 seconds to complete. This will have the most powerful impact on testosterone. After each sprint, walk back to the starting point and complete again.
