Interesting read.
What caught my attention was the "little to no cardio". Does cardio tend to tax the T production, especially as we get older? I do cardio 5x per week at the 80%+ MHR for a 40yo (I'm 51 but use the 40yo numbers as my standard), meaning HR in the 140's or higher for 170 minutes per week. I also lift 3-4x per week on top of that, depending on how I break up my weight workouts. It is kicking my ass, but I'm kinda OCD about it and won't give up.
I was on T supplementation for 7 1/2 years until I was diagnosed with prostate cancer last December and had it removed 2 months ago. As far as the cancer goes the future looks bright but my T is in the shitter, like almost non-existent. Not sure if my body will ever fire up T production on it's own after this long but I'm also leery of getting back on supplementation, at least until I'm damn sure the cancer is gone for good (like a couple years before I will even consider it).
