Default Testing testosterone levels after a heavy workout

I remember SWALE wrote that one should not get their blood testosterone tested the morning after a strenuous weight lifting workout, because it would skew the results. I can't remember whether the intense workout increases or decreases test levels. I'd imagine that test levels the morning after a heavy weights workout would be lower, but when I had my blood testosterone levels tested the morning after a heavy weights workout, they were at the top of the normal range! All previous blood tests had me at the bottom of the normal range for testosterone.
If someone can remember which way SWALE said testosterone tends to go i.e. up or down, the morning after such a workout, I'd be very curious to know.
Thanks.
