I like the mineral zinc. 25-50mg at bedtime to lower cortisol, helps sleep and libido i find.
Zinc's good for supporting healthy testosterone levels and is a common nutrient deficiency.
Zinc is also a natural mild anti-aromatase inhibitor.
Won't give you no juice gains obviously, but good for health regardless.

NickS,
Have you ever looked into natural testosterone boosters? I ask because when I used to lift and we'd read the labels of the newest supplement...it was always made up of extracts from stuff that we were able to find at ethnic supermarkets and Asian herbal stores.
There has to be some native plant out there in NZ that you can use.
I'm not naive....I know it will have limited effect compared to other stuff....but worth a shot. Gett, I have taken test boosters before, however can't say I noticed anything. Also took the tribulus test. Some guys are saying, legal test boosters do nothing for young guys, only has an effect if your test is low due to age, say 50 years plus. Been hearing some good things on taking beta alanine, mixed into a pre. However, from my experience, and also some guys in the industry who talk a lot of sense (Rich Piana, Elliot Hulse) anything outside of a pre, creatine and a protein shake is bullshit. On the workout front, one thing that I been working a lot lately that barely anyone consciously works is my neck. No point getting big and having a pencil neck! You should aim to have your neck the same size as your flexed arm (in my case 16 1/2 inch) and the same as your Calf. Those 3 should be around the same.

@NickS,
Good luck, whatever you decide to do. Fact that you're mentioning neck training shows that you take an old school approach to training.(which is great)Speaking of old school, have you ever read any articles or books by the late Larry Scott? There are some old school movements and exercises that people have abandoned, but were tried and tested. People don't train for symmetry anymore but just for mass. I've never heard the neck, flexed arm, calf thing before but it does sound like makes fr a more balanced physique.
@AG,
tell us how the bars and bands work out for you....and remember....the bands you want are the lightest skinny bands they sell......about 41 inches around.
Hi Gett, yes I have heard of him, there's a lot of things better about how the old guys did things, Like Arnie, half the size of the guys today but revered so much more than anyone today. Because its only just not possible how him and those era guys looked like, he admits steroids but weak, weak doses and when it wasn't illegal. Even without I'm sure he would of looked magnificent!. Yes there is guides to build the perfect proportioned body, another thing is to aim to have your chest 10 inches bigger than your waist measurement. What kind of stuff do you do in the gym gett? Bodybuilding or powerlifting? I used to just do bodybuilding but recently threw in a power day once a week with great results, managed to get a 450 deadlift the other day, first time i tried using chalk and couldn't believe I overlooked it before! Helped my grip tremendously!

Helped my grip tremendously! Bodybuilding off an on for past 15 years.I go about 2 years without missing workouts but then get burned out. Past 2 years, have done bodyweight movements/calisthenics...with chains, weight vests, heavy bands. Will go back to the gym this summer but will mix free weights with bw exercises. I brought up L.Scott because he advocated using gymnastic rings for upper body development decades ago, and I've gotten good results from a variation of gym rings...called "blast straps".They are touting TRX and blast straps like they've reinvented the wheel....but they are modified gym rings. That's a good deadlift weight, and a great idea to confuse your body by throwing in a power day. Also a great motivator to train with those power guys (most of which are psychos). Definitely keep pushing.

yeah gett, I'm a big fan of chains and bodyweight movements, I have been learning recently how Tyson used to train and while he was at his peak, his early years he didn't touch a weight other than to shrug. He did dips, pullups, push-ups etc. I read recently over on bodybuilding.com in an article that you can achieve your maximum arm size capacity on bodyweight exercises alone which is interesting.
To gett and anyone else, what are views on some of these youtube fitness channels and people? Like Kali Muscle, Hodgetwins, Rich Piana, Jeff Seid etc anyone follow anyone's views advice?
