The Claim
In young, weight-trained males undergoing two weeks of daily heavy strength training, individual changes in leg press strength are positively correlated with changes in morning testosterone concentration (r = 0.69), indicating a potential association between fluctuations in anabolic hormones and strength adaptations during intense training.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
When young guys who lift weights regularly do intense leg workouts for two weeks, those who gain more strength also tend to have bigger increases in their morning testosterone levels.

What the research says
1 studyThe study found that as testosterone levels changed during training, strength changes tended to follow in the same direction, which supports the idea that testosterone may play a role in gaining strength during intense workouts.
