 | The adrenals, like the testicles, are part of the endocrine system, which secrete hormones directly into the bloodstream. Testosterone and other hormones are governed by a feedback system in the body that stimulates the production of a specific hormone when levels fall too low.

 | Use a carbohydrate strategy to stay energized and perform at your best: Eat carbohydrates for at least several days before exercise/competition, so you start with glycogen-loaded muscles.
