>chess players have testosterone boost from competing, one even up to a 700% increase



Why aren't you chessmaxxing, anon? Why are you leaving gains on the table? You could be blasting cycles of test just by competing in a simple game.

So they go from 20ng/dl to 140?



Let me guess, you're also one of those popsci faggots who think that "le grandmasters burn 6000 calories playing chess".

It's not about playing, it's about winning.

Probs competing in anything, not just chess.

Chess is now just memory if pre discovered attacks and defenses learned in little "trick" sequences. Bobby Fisher was the last great chess genius who could invent innovative plays out of thin air I am not a fan capsulized ape chess amd find it boring.

The winners of fischer random tournaments are roughly the same lineup as regular tournaments.

You don’t know what you’re talking about

You’re the guy who’s 500 Elo claiming he can follow along what commentators are saying when they do live coverage of big tourneys 

You think you know everything but the truth is you know nothing

I hope I am never at the level of faggotry where I watch chess tournaments and listen to the commentary and then use this as a reassurance of my own perceived intelligence.

They have chess commentary? Holy shit lol maybe they should hit the gym.

Exactly, you think you know things you don’t, and when someone points out that you’re a moron you simply claim you’re too great to actually need to understand anything.

>all demonstrably had increases in test



So basically OP is correct and you could also increase yours but are refusing to?

Doing a single squat does more for raising my test than entering into chess tournaments. Then again, I'm not a hypogonadal nerd with less than 200ng/dl so results will certainly vary.

>high T chest players

this should prove to all you "muh test boost" losers that natty test boosting does fuck all.

But you'll just keep doing test boost memes hoping one day you'll wake up looking like le based spartan warriors from that stupid 300 movie

It's this. Competition in general raises test. More than pretty much anything else really.

>Barely able to break 1300 on lishit rapid 

It's over...

Stop playing the London then idiot.

It's amazing that /fit/ will do everything to effectively be fraud except just take the drugs.

sorry not a chemistry lab

>>70726576 (OP)

top chess players do tend to excercise, lifting, sports or jogging.

>little brother is one of the best young chess players in my country

>has been entering into the adult competitions instead of the under-18 tournies just to dab on boomers since he was a little kid

we look exactly the same except I'm a dumb retard though

I exclusively play Queen's Gambit as white and Caro Kann as black.
