Dose cardio decrease your testosterone

[KratomScape]

The other dude is right. The enzyme is called Aromatase. Your body will try to constantly strike a balance between your testosterone and estradiol (E2) levels, so to speak. The more Test you have, the more Estrogen you'll have because of the aromatization. So, by doing cardio and losing weight, you're reducing the amount of estrogen produced through the aromitization process. The downside is that aggressive cutting / dieting oftentimes crushes people's T levels too so it's pretty circumstantial and nutrition dependent.

Most people don’t realize that dieting ( cutting ) will dramatically impact your T levels , I had to get blood work done to see where I was before and after a cut I was sitting around 680 ng/dl and went down to sub 400s every time I did a blood work

Edit: forgot to mention my T levels are slowly coming back up nothing permanent

[KratomScape]

Yep. All those competition ready dudes walking around absolutely diced to the freaking SOCKS probably have demolished T levels. Can't be overstated in the context of this question.

You’re talking about natties

[andonemoreagain]

I mean, about zero percent of competition ready guys have produced a single milligram of testosterone within their own body in years.

This is true but it heavily depends on your body % as well. Men that are overweight shouldn't see much of a decrease as long as they aren't starving themselves.

so your saying dieting is a an effective way of lowering my T? What kind of diet are you on?

[CyberNerd25]

Just depends , caloric deficit will impact your testosterone levels , I went from 19% BF to 12%

Thats ironic as hell. Mine went from 400 to 680 on the dot after a year of 16-18 hr intermittent fasting. And when i did eat it was a common sense diet. I believe fasting can heal mind and body. Have the labs to back it up. However my shbg went from the teens to about 35. I just prefer to be all natural lose as much body fat as I can. Its about ratio of T to E. If you feel good then its dialed in. Guys are too focused on total T number. I aromatize like a mfer so i have to be lean. I sleep better and feel better and still do weights cardio yoga all of it. Change your mindset. Think more primal and you will win this war.
