Increase natural testosterone with exercising legs?

[dooie]

Oh will always hear ppl say, 'to increase your natural free test then you need to train legs!' is this true?/have any scientific evidence to back it up or is it just another broscience parroted quote?

This should be in the training forum.

But, yes its true. I don't have the time to look up the studies and sources. But a google search should pull you up all of the evidence and studies you need.

To beef up your testosterone levels, the bulk of your workout should involve "compound" weight-lifting exercises that train several large muscle groups, and not just one or two smaller muscles. For example, studies have shown that doing squats, bench presses or back rows increases testosterone more than doing biceps curls or triceps pushdowns, even though the effort may seem the same. This is why doing squats could help you build bigger biceps.

I think there has been some proven studies,,,you would just have to google them as mentioned. Increases in testosterone and HGH levels.

Big compound lifts release more test than isolation...

[SoldierBull]

Definitely true...

Whenever I get on a powerlifting regiman where the base is the big 3 (squats-bench-deads) I will have a breakout on my shoulders just like good ole test does to me....

Coincedence... I dont think so... After 10-15 set days of one of these excercises I come home and as soon as I enter the door I am on super sex drive status.... Lol its definitely true bro.

The question is, will it release enough testosterone to actually be noticable?

It's not the same as running test. Not even close
