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.
I read that doing intense leg exercises, whether squats or leg presses, increases T more than when you work out other muscle groups because the size of the muscle is much larger.
