Doing lunges while standing in the aisle of a moving city bus will generate much more strain upon tissues than doing them on a non vibrating hardwood floor.
Ultimately if you want to improve hormone production appropriate training is of course a huge part of that but there are also MANY herbs which can be used to influence things as well.
The power plates strike me as extremely faddish and potentially dangerous for alot of people with undiagnosed injuries and thus I fully agree they should only be used under the guidance of trainer who's experienced with that equipment.
If improving HGH production were a desired goal for a person who's levels were deficient or for an athlete trying to keep them elevated, vibrating equipment would be extremely low on my list of reccomendations.
Back on topic, neither beer nor tofu should be consumed on a daily basis either if you're trying to elevate testosterone levels. In moderation and consumed occasionally these will not make a huge difference but when consumed regularly both soy and hops are highly estrogenic in nature. Many hops growers have learned the hard way you need to handle hops in the field with gloves or after several years you can end up with erectile dysfunction and gynecomastia (ie limp d*** and man boobs).
