Hi Drs,
I listened to your two-part T podcast, and it left me wondering what the potential effects of ingesting it could be.
Jordan said that when comparing males from the extreme ends of the Athletic Continuum (wide shoulders, narrow hips, lots of muscle, etc, V.S. not), their respective traits are not reliably correlated with high and low T, respectively, if their levels are each within the normal range (because of individual sensitivity to the hormone, etc).
And that in females these traits do correlate with T levels, because their normal range is so much greater than the males’.
So, that would lead me to assume that if a male ingested amounts of T beyond the natural range, they would in fact (potentially) see significant changes? I mean, it seems fairly obvious that r*ids can make men stronger and more muscular. But I’m trying to double check that this common sense intuition isn’t competely off, and that Vinny would in fact be skinnier as a natty.
TLDR: Men’s Athletic Continuum traits do not correlate strongly with T levels within the natural range. Women’s do, and this is because, as I’ve understood it, their natural range is much wider. Does this mean that if men ingested unnatural amounts, they would see changes in those traits? Basically, do/can r*ids even work?
Apologies if this was covered in the podcast and I missed it!
P.S. I’m NOT considering taking anything. I’m just trying to fill my head with interesting info.
