Testosterone?

Question

While weight training do I get higher levels of testosterone?

Answer 1

Exercise prevents the hormone cortisol from being secreted by the glands on your kidneys. Cortisol is a stress hormone secreted when you are stressed and can cause weight gain, and acually makes it's way up to the hypothallamic-pituitary region of your brain, where it inhibits the secretion of GnRH (Gonadotropin-releasing hormone). GnRH then travels to the testes where the production of testoterone occurs.

There is not much you can do to increase you GnRH levels, bcaue if you do, it becomes ineffective. It is secreted in pulses, and if a large amount is put into your system at once, without pulsing, it produces nothing. So the only thing you really can do is prevent inhibiting hormone secretion... which means preventing stressful situations.
