Lock in fuh nihs. I’m dropping some free ball.
As we all should know by now, dimo = everything. Dimorphism determines everything from harmony (Seeing as the very ratios that are deemed ideal are gendered), to the quality of your misc and coloring (Dimorphic features generally exhibit more quality, and “ideal” coloring is generally also gendered. (Ideal health and youth indicators also differ based on gender)). Dimo even influences averageness for any given pheno; And that’s not even taking into consideration things like height, frame, voice, etc..
Naturally improving dimo generally comes down to one thing: Androgen exposure. This is water, but unless roids are mentioned, most people DNR because seemingly there aren’t any effective natural methods to increase androgen levels.
Well, I am certain I have found one, because this is the very intervention I used to go from unironically subhuman, to LMTN (Arguably MMTN) unfrauded in a little under 5 months. It took a lot of research, but holy shit did it work. And no, it’s not some low ROI “Just train” type shi.
Essentially the premise of the idea is that we can leverage the testi’s intrinsic regenerative and developmental signaling rather than relying on exogenous hormones. Specifically, brief, mild, intermittent reductions in testicular perfusion via ischemia (Blood flow restriction), create a transient adaptive stimulus. Just like other tissues in the body, this type of stimulus induces a localized autocrine and paracrine response characterized by increased production of growth factors and signaling molecules, including VEGF, IGF-1, HIF-a, colony stimulating factors, and other mediators involved in vascular remodeling, cellular survival, and tissue repair.
The combined action of these factors creates an environment that favors angiogenesis, extracellular matrix remodeling, progenitor cell activation, and most importantly: Leydig cell proliferation or maturation. An expanded Leydig cell population increases the testis’ intrinsic capacity for testosterone synthesis by increasing the amount of tissue available to respond to LH stimulation.
An additional aspect of this concerns androgen metabolism. Immature and differentiating Leydig cells exhibit changes in the expression of steroidogenic and androgen-metabolizing enzymes (Like 5-alpha reductase) throughout development. This intervention essentially alters the steroidogenic phenotype of the testis IN ADDITION to increasing total testosterone producing capacity; This means that not only are you modifying your DHT to testosterone ratio, but also your total DHT levels, by producing a larger amount of testosterone as a substrate and having a larger amount of that substrate be converted to DHT.
For this to work you literally only need something to cause ischemia with, like some bands or a miniature cuff;
Put the band(s)/cuff(s) around the base of the testes (where the testes attach to the penis)
I personally use bands like this:
You want the occlusive pressure to be slightly higher than mild, obviously the best proxy for this is temperature (Color to a lesser degree as well)
Do this with a 3-3-3 structure every day (3 bouts of 5 minutes, 3x a day) (Everyday and with this frequency because net 24h growth factor exposure is what matters the most for proper activation of proliferative cascades), ever so slightly (keyword SLIGHTLY) increasing occlusive pressure every week, (could mean adding a loose band and over time progressing to a tighter one or using multiple loose ones and then a very tight one, and then adding more of those)
Take one week of rest every 4 weeks or so
Ideally you’d want to encourage angiogenesis and repair in general by consuming things like beetroot and foods rich in citrulline. And for god sakes MEGAdose your protein, consume as much high quality protein (Red meat, fish, eggs, milk/dairy) as you’re capable of, your IGF-1 levels will thank you.
Anecdote:
I have not only substantially increased my testicular volume, but my dimo in general has improved immensely from this and i plan to continue this intervention (Took a break cuz of vacation) to break my current looks plateau. Most of my masculine measurements have improved, like my biacromial breadth, neck width, shoulder circumference (I don’t even train intensely mind you), bizygomatic breadth, bitragion chin arc(Chin protrusion) and width, handspan, even miscellaneous shit like my ribcage width and voice depth.
We’re all ascending with this one.
