So, guys, Derek, more plates more days.com.

Today we are going to be looking at the effects of super physiologic doses of testosterone on muscle size and strength and normal men.

Interestingly enough, this study looks at what is more effective, training without gear or not training whilst concurrently on gear.

So they literally check guys who are using 600 milligrams with testosterone without even

lifting weights versus guys who are actively trying to gain muscle and lifting weights

who aren't using tests. And guess who gets more checked? That is what we're going to be dissecting.

And the results may be annoying for some people. So we get into table four body weight,

fat-free mass and muscle size and strength before and after the 10 weeks of people. So we get into table four body weight, fat-free mass and muscle

size and strength before and after the 10 weeks of treatment. So keep in mind, this is 10

weeks too. You know, things could get, you know, a bit more interesting as the weeks go on.

But this is the classic Boston study that a lot of people refer to and it gives us a lot

of insight into what

hormones really do so here we have the body weight baseline in 10 weeks no exercise

placebo and testosterone so this is both groups either taking you know fake testosterone

essentially not you know just placebo or testosterone and not doing shit versus training and taking fake

testosterone essentially versus actual testosterone and the effect on body weight changes. But

mainly let's look at fat-free mass. Now again, notable, this can be altered pretty significantly

through water retention and whatnot. You know, this is something that will be very heavily impacted by testosterone supplementation

or exogenous, testosterone, I don't know, abuse, like whatever you want to call the fucking

600 milligram dose, at the end of the day, you are going to see pretty significant spikes

in, you know, fluid retention and whatnot, especially at the frequency of administration they were doing in this study.

But still, you can extrapolate out and see through the, you know, strength increases that a lot of this was indeed muscle tissue.
