Testosterone and exercises

[Guest guest]

Thanks to Phil for the welcome. I am more of a lurker than poster so please

excuse my random appearances.

I am curious about the relationship of testosterone levels to exercise and

physical training. I have been getting myself back into shape (gingerly because

of testes pain issues)and training hard. In a body training exercise site there

was mention about the body testosterone levels and how they naturally increase

with increased physcial conditioning as the body requires this. Now, how does

this relate to the male that is on TRT and his T levels? I was last tested

(before training) at 660 ng/ dL at the end of the weekly injection cycle thus

the T is at a good level. If I were to train hard would the level go down due to

increased demand of T by the body? I simply look to keep my body T at optimum

levels...not more than is required as typical of steroid abusers nor less than

is needed for health. Do I need to increase my T injection amounts? Leave it

well alone or?

thanks

Ron being on TRT your testis are shut down from making Testosterone they will

not get the message from your pituitary to make T the message being LH and FSH

most men testing on TRT this is very low this is why we add HCG it acts like the

LH message and keeps your testis working the best they can.

As for eating up your added Testosterone levels exercising hard it can happen

only way to tell is check your levels but don't workout 48 hrs before your labs

do you labs the day of your next shot if your doing shots if your doing gels or

creams do labs before putting them on or do your labs 6 hrs later but don't get

the gel or cream on the area they take the blood from.

As for you levels most men don't do well this low my labs top of range is 1100

my levels for Total T are 850 I try to stay between 700 to 900 to feel better if

I go as low as you are the Testosterone dose not support my joints and muscles.

And I have pain. I work out doing every muscle group Mon. Wed and Fri. for

about 90 min.'s doing 10 reps 3 sets of each. I worm up on the Cross Trainer 20

min's first. I work out on Machines that take a card that sets your load, reps

and sets for each machine.

It's about 12 machines total I keep track on how I am feeling there are days I

need to back off I also have low cortisol levels and working out lowers them.

I have yet to see my labs go up or down working out.

In a study some time ago I read bodybuilders that work out 5 days a week end up

with lower T levels and them men are not on TRT there avg. was about 450 to 550.

A lot of young men come here or to my Thyroid Adrenal Forum very sick from over

training they end up with low Testosterone, Cortisol and some with low Thyroid.

So listen to your body give it time to recover and you should do well.
