Lifting weights gives you a massive HGH spike if you avoid eating, especially foods high in fat two hours prior to lifting.

Every working out that last longer than 45 minutes lowers the testosterone.

I don't know anything about testosterone, but growth hormone is secreted during intense exercise, especially on an empty stomach.

Human Growth Hormone. Many old people and bodybuilders take it because it assists with muscle growth.

I think 60% of livestrong info is garbage.

It causes a spike afterwards I think but won't increase it overall from my understanding. Squatting is meant to release the most I've read. I began working out seriously when I was 16 and got chest hair, hairy arms etc and no other male in my family, grandfathers even, has any body hair like that. So I think it must have increased my testosterone levels compared to my sedentary male family members.
