Qi Gong a POOR Man’s Steroids
Ancient lore speaks of an Indian Monk who was shocked by what he saw when he arrived at the Shaolin temple. Feeble monks barely awake to meditate or do anything else. To lethargic to his liking and with their lives dangling on a thread of existence, he introduced them to a set of exercises which revitalised their bodies and minds.
What are these exercises?

These exercises are collectively known as Qi Gong 气功 pronounced “Chee Gong”, which directly translates to “energy work”. And the idea is keeping the body and mind operating at an optimum.
In Qi Gong you have neigong and waigong. Neigong being more internal and waigong being more external.
By internal the emphasis is on the mind and the inside of the body. And with the external the emphasis is on energising the muscles or the outside of the body.

Every traditional Chinese martial art has a set of qi gong exercises that they practice to work on their internal or external aspects. These exercises were closely held secrets in the past.

Qi Gong exercises may boost your testosterone and yes even decrease it. When done consistently, particularly a male practitioner may suddenly begin to feel a boost in their energy. An increase in libido, being one of the signs of the increase in testosterone. All through ancient movements and breathing that does not rely on you having to inject or take anything.
That is why certain training is advised not to be done by women as this may cause certain issues and vice versa-there are Qi Gong exercises strictly for women.

Qi Gong malpractice may have its negative side effects.
Certain training was stopped by martial arts masters after a certain age, hundreds of years ago. The reason was that certain training led to heart problems, which led to to heart attacks. Living long and healthy was not the priority back then.

Qi Gong is very powerful and even simple training like Zhan Zhuang is gold.
This ancient practice can do more than just boost your testosterone, it can improve your health and much more.
