Does punishing your body constantly reduce your testosterone? i thought that having more muscle increased production of testorone.
I was watching one of Khan interviews, and he said he has low testostorone from punishing his body but he never considers taking drugs (steroids). Lamont Peterson had the testostorone levels of a 70-80 year old, i imagine that is very low? I always read/heard that hard training "raises" your testostorone.
if khan said it then its just as good as a 5 year old saying it. he's not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer, is he now? to answer your question, from what i have read- low intensity, long duration training has little affect on your testosterone. hard intense training ie boxing workouts or weight training or sprinting elevate your testosterone level. a person who works out probably has 3x more T than the average joe
I could imagine that constant intense training without resting (ie overtraining) might lower your testosterone levels
intense training will definitely raise testosterone levels. but at the same time, if you over do it consistently, you can become severely overtrained and it can decrease it as well. you need to rest and take the hints your body tells you but at the same time not be lazy.
Sure Lamont did thats why he was on Stanazol right? This whole low Test by combat athletes is complete and utter bull****. If Peterson wasn't healthy he wouldnt be fighting at all. Secondly if he was suffering from low Test he could get an exemption and have TRT. But that is the same thing as cheating. The fact its 'legal' is academic. Either way i have a VERY hard time believing his Test levels were equivalent to an 70-80 year old. So many fighters are citing this same ridiculous excuse and using suspect doctors and prescribed medication as proof of these spurious ailments just so they can abuse TRT. Matters not as he was busted for Steroids anyway. So he was willfully trying to cheat. As for Khan he's talking ****. He has a habit of engaging his mouth before his brain has time to catch up. Much like the time he said his BF was 2%, this time is no different. Its horse****. FFS when you work out your hormone levels -broadly speaking- increase. NOT decrease. :roll:
