My testerone was never tested those i8 months. It was 780 before I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. At my last visit they did blood work for PSA and Testosterone. PSA came back at 0.10 which is what it was 3 months earlier. They tested it every 3 months. Testosterone results had not come back so will find out what it is at the next visit. I just want a base line to see how fast it rises after being off Lupron.

I don't believe working out raises Testosterone. I have a workout buddy also in his 80's who gets a Testosterone shot every 2 weeks since his level is low, around 200. The shots put it in the 700 range.

My usual workout starts on the treadmill for 1/2 to 1 mile at a 3.5 to 4 mile /hour pace. I then go to the machines and free weights for 2 hours. usually doing push exercises on Monday, pull on Wednesday and a combination on Friday. Usually do 3 sets on 8 to 12 machines and or free weights. At my age, 85 soon, they recommend more reps and less weight. I just do the opposite.........as much weight as I can do........ sometimes only 5 reps but most times at least 10. Never worked out until the Y about 10 years ago. I was amazed at how much muscle an old man can put back on even with busted up shoulders. I was very lucky that I was already working out when diagnosed. It would have been difficult had I not..may not have happened.

Hope this helps.
