Just curious what the rest of you think.
P.S. I'm 47 years old and typically ride about 3 days a week, with each ride being around 20 ~ 60 miles.
Endurance cycling depletes T. However, 15 minutes of intense weights, crunches, sit-ups, squats will trigger a T increase to balance it.
All gym = T rage. All endurance = T depletion. gym + endurance = T balance.
This is my impression based on a lot of reading in the muscle and fitness literature last year.
