There's nothing I can find showing muscle exercises have any more than a slight, temporary effect on testosterone levels.

- cultofmetatron 4y agoan action that has a slight temporary effect but performed consistently over time will have some sort of longer term effect.
- staticman2 4y agoThe concept of homeostasis shows this isn't necessarily true. I can find nothing showing there is an effect over time.
- cultofmetatron 4y agoso people who regularly lift dont' look any different from people that don't after doing it consistently for a long period?
- staticman2 4y agoThe claim was about testosterone levels not muscle mass. It doesn't appear to be true that lifting has any impact on testosterone levels aside from the first hour after lifting. It goes up temporarily then returns to normal. It appears scientists have studied such things. The biological concept of homeostasis could explain why that might be true. So it is what it is.
