[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 119660, member: 18023"] Is this study, they seem to disagree with you: ------------------------------------------------------ The men in the testosterone groups had significant increases in the cross-sectional areas of the triceps and the quadriceps ([URL='https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199607043350101#']Table 4[/URL]); [B]the group assigned to testosterone without exercise had a significantly greater increase in the cross-sectional area of the quadriceps than the placebo-alone group[/B], and the testosterone-plus-exercise group had greater increases in quadriceps and triceps area than either the testosterone-alone or the placebo-plus-exercise group (P<0.05). [SIZE=22px][B]MUSCLE STRENGTH[/B][/SIZE] Muscle strength in the bench-press and the squatting exercises did not change significantly over the 10-week period in the group assigned to placebo with no exercise. [B]The men in the testosterone-alone and placebo-plus-exercise groups had significant increases in the one-repetition maximal weights lifted in the squatting exercises, averaging 19 percent and 21 percent, respectively[/B] ([URL='https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199607043350101#']Table 4[/URL] and [URL='https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199607043350101#']Figure 1[/URL]). Similarly, mean bench-press strength increased in these two groups by 10 percent and 11 percent, respectively. [URL]https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM199607043350101[/URL] What am I missing here? Testosterone alone without exercise increases strength and muscle size. Note I did say "high"dose testosterone. [/QUOTE]
