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.
From what i 've read T levels rise after a weight lifting workout but the next 48 hours fall to low normal range due to a process in the liver.
