Thanks for the info on the boxers.
I'd like a source on the resistance training, because that does not jibe with my experience at all.
Just did a quick search and came up with this...
"The T response to an acute bout of exercise was not significant but did increase in both age groups. In conclusion, the data presented here indicate that strength training can induce growth hormone and testosterone release, regardless of age, but that the elderly response does not equal that of the young."
