Default Re: Testing testosterone levels after a heavy workout

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 some time ago and just spent 15min's looking for it. So this is what I remember no sex or heavy workouts 24 hrs before blood work. I think if your on TRT your levels will come back lower and if not on TRT they can go ether way.
