Hormones and working out:

Last week just came back from the yearly finger poke. Part of the deal is a blood test on the testosterone level. I do use Androgel when A: I find myself not liking myself and the world in general for more than a week or so and it does wonders. And B: If a know I'm going to have a long hard couple days. Either physical or stressful.

When I'm getting the blood test I stay off of it for at least two weeks in order to have a representative reading. Last result was 435. Which the Doc says is spectacular for a 70 year old. He is of the opinion without my exercise regime it would be much lower.

Sooooo, it is pretty much proven exercise does boost our Testosterone level and can have a positive effect on mood in the aging male. It also does it via the natural body physiology which is better than any external method.

For most healthy people stressing the body has a positive effect. However, you don't have to be throwing up on a daily basis to achieve the desired result.
