Boost Your Libido
Working out can improve your life in more ways than it is credited for. It’s time people start looking at working out as more than just working on the muscles. Pumping iron can have both physiological and psychological benefits.
Spending some time in the weight room can improve your sex drive. Working out can even help you if you don’t feel any sexual desire. Feeling asexual can be caused by many reasons including stress, exertion, mental exhaustion, etc.
While lifting weights can help boost your libido, there are some exercises which work better than the others. Make these five exercises a part of your training routines to boost your libido –
1. Squats
Squats are a complete leg builder. This exercise can also help you with your low sex drive. Legs are the biggest muscle group in your body and working them by squatting can improve your testosterone levels.
Squats increase your overall muscles mass, strength and sex drive. There are enough variations of this exercise, so you’re never bored of it. Make squats a part of your workout routine to improve your libido.
2. Barbell Hip Thrust
No other exercise comes close to barbell hip thrusts when it comes to mimicking a sexual position. This exercise also happens to be one of the most effective in improving your sex drive. It also adds muscle mass and strength to your lower body, especially glutes.
It can be incredibly hard to not think about sex while performing this exercise. Tip: avoid making eye contact with the opposite sex while you’re doing this exercise if you don’t want to end up sending the wrong signals.
3. Bench Press
Compound (multi joint) exercises are the most efficient in helping you improve your testosterone levels and sex drive. Bench press has been the poster exercise for manhood for a long time.
This exercise helps broaden your chest which, for many men, can lead to increased confidence. We hope you make it count and put this raised confidence to good use with women. Incline and decline bench press can work different areas of your chest.
4. Deadlifts
Deadlifts work your entire body. There are only a few other things as badass as lifting some heavy weights off the ground. Deadlifting regularly can improve your libido and make you stronger at every other exercise.
Deadlifts can also help you in adding lean muscle mass. Avoid heavy deadlifts if you’re suffering from a back injury. You can also try different versions of this exercise like sumo deadlifts or dumbbell deadlifts to keep your body guessing.
5. Clean and Press
Clean and press primarily work your shoulders, but secondary muscles like your upper and lower back, traps, hamstrings, quads, glutes, and calves are also involved. It is a full body exercise which can improve your physique and sex drive.
Clean and press is also a compound exercise which will help you put on muscle mass and definition. You can perform this exercise in a hypertrophy workout or a strength workout. All you need to do is adjust the number of sets and reps.
