I believe everybody here already knows the importance of testosterone both in looksmaxxing and NTmaxxing so I will skip the preface on its benefits.
I was reading through some of the research on Testosterone and one of the things I noticed is a sort of cyclical pattern that can be abused to maximize testosterone. Essentially, there are a variety of social micro-behaviors that are meant to indicate status in a social setting, and mimicking those that indicate high status boost testosterone, both instantaneously, and in the long run. As testosterone is boosted, it facilitates the usage of these social behaviors, and through the formation of a habit in using them, you can theoretically create a cycle of higher status leading to higher testosterone, leading to higher status, etc. Below I will list a couple of these indicators I found in the literature surrounding the topic
- Head aligned to torso, not leaning forwards
- Shoulders rolled back
- Essentially try to imagine yourself taking the largest amount of space possible with your body, and exposing your vunerable parts (Both taking up large amounts of physical space and exposing venerable parts of oneself are preceded biologically to raise seratonin)
- When in conversation, do not move your head around, keep it straight
- Speak slowly and articulately
- Do not switch rapidly from eye contact to looking away, maintain either for long periods of time before switching
- When walking through a crowded room, look directly towards your destination and do not step away from anyone, i.e force them to step away from you
Here are some links to the research I used for this theory
https://www.jstor.org/stable/3844412 (Testosterone and Social Behavior)
https://www.jstor.org/stable/24943109 (Posture and Testosterone)
This is all highly theoretical, and its effects may be incredibly minimal, but its an incredibly easy softmaxx that can turn into a habit rapidly.
