That’s interesting.

I read that permanent, but limited, testosterone level boosts are seen in men who are just beginning resistance training; but not those who are already physically fit due to ongoing resistance training. BTW: the only resistance training I do is a one or two sets of 10 push ups before every run….probably should do more….

Your comment about testosterone level versus PSA level is also interesting.

My May ‘25 testosterone level was 698 ng/dL; which is on the higher end for a 69 year old man.

Would that be another reason my PSA level, measured at the same time, was 5.79 (generally higher).

I know one’s PSA trend is more important; which in my case, topped out at 7.8, in May ‘23 (before diagnosis) and is now (20 months after diagnosis) at its lowest level yet measured (May ‘25).

Unfortunately, I did not have T levels measured until my last blood work up.

It’s known that testosterone levels have a diurnal variation (testosterone fluctuates throughout the day, with higher levels in the morning and lower levels in the afternoon) so, PSA levels may fluctuate diurnally as well. (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31390085/)

I try to get my PSA tested at about the same time each time (always in the morning).
