Pretty good article.

LOL @ the comments. I think people misread the article and take offense. It's known for a while that hig test levels will kill ya' in the long run.

"Last time I talked to a medical professional who claimed that too much muscle was not a good thing he had an upper arm about the size of my wrist. Why do I suspect these researchers fit the same bill?"

bullshit article. Lean muscular men were not bred out through evolution LOL ****, lean muscular men got lost within the last 50 years due to TV, fast food and stress.

Go back 100 years and look at a working man. May not be bulked like a BB, but ripped, strong as an ox, and large.

Stupid ****ing articles like this are feel good articles for the lazy... just like the fat bitch sitting in the corner at McDonalds with 4 big mac meals (supersize) has a thyroid problem

Every week another article comes out favoring one side of the coin, Ie. Having adequate testosterone is healthy, and then it's not healthy. Who gives a flying Fuk? Genetics is the Judge, Jury, and executioner when it comes to how long we live. All you can personally do is what makes you happy and fulfills your life the most. If you want to live a long life, exercise, eat right, but know what it is to enjoy life as well. Fat people make excuses, skinny people make excuses, bodybuilders make excuses. Everyone points fingers at something they have nooooo control over anyway. So what if having extra testosterone added or knocked 5 years off your life? Is this what you base your life around? I would certainly hope not. Live, Enjoy, do what you can to have a smile on your face at the end of the day. People talk like if they lived 3 years longer than someone else they're somehow better? Yeah, i'm sure your death will be an amazing one. In short, those people who point at others and say "You're living life wrong." When the person in question is genuinely happy with their lives... Can go eat a bag of Dicks. You're one person, live your piece of existence and shut your fuking mouth! *Tips his hat.* End rant.

+1 Could not said it better.

[cdnsoldier]

They are saying men with above average test levels and use an unfortunate title.

[waderow]

I am happier when I am large.

I am happier when I am testosteroned up.

I am happier when I am lean.

I am happier when I have lots of sex...especially with my GF who is 12 years younger then I.

I am happier when girls flirt with me.

I am happier when people don't try to intimidate me with their size, as mine is often larger.

I am happier when I lift lots of weight and people watch (and I am no Nate here either lifting houses n' shit... just enough to notice.)

I am happier when my mom shakes her head at me cause I dont fit a shirt she bought me for christmas, and I can't do up the top button around the neck, and the seams threaten to burst.



I do all the above, and still maintain a career. Pay the bills and move on in life. The laundry is done, and the lawn is mowed.

Some lazy fat **** is going to say I am not leading a good life???? **** them. I am happy, and loving every minute of it, except the tren gets to me sometimes../.... LOL

Exactly, who wants to live 80 miserable years when you can live 70 happy ones.

[Timbo89]

If i live to be 70 id be happy with that.

[macka]

I was just thinking, how could a weakling stop me from taking their food if I wanted it? I will survive LMAO, maybe not to 70 or so, but I sure would have fun.

[Gettin'r'round]

This bb is too dumb to figure out how to post a comment, then realized this is in the Toronto Star and realized what a sheer waste of time it would be.

There are so many things wrong with this it isn't funny. I'm curious as to what he was looking for in the 5000 18-29 year old men he was looking at. As for Armageddon happening, well civilized people in general are doomed. The only people who survive won't be the multicultural, left leaning, localvore disabled lesbian condo dweller. It will be the women are property, middle age subsistence farmers living in the remote regions of Africa, Afganistan etc. Please... what a joke.

Sure high testosterone levels do show in studies to lead to a shorter lifespan. But so will inactivity and being an unhealthy fat slob. Score one for the fit people.

haha I like how they say its harder to gain muscular weight due to food. I dont think they took into account that in the past 100 years the nutrients in food has decreased so substantially that we have to eat WAY more then was needed back when. I dont think they take into account. And have to work hard to get buff....They saying warriors and what not from olden days didnt train hard? have you seen how heavy some of those swords are? its nuts and they wielded them around like nothing.
article has no idea whats going on

I have yet to meet a dedicated fighter who is not in good physical shape. My favourite comment was about the people who couldn't swing their arms because their pecs were so big. I mean wtf?

[Danger]

Yeah I would quote Wade but I am lazy, everything about life is better when your bigger than everyone else, and its not having muscles lower your IQ and makes you lazy I really dont see any downside.

+ all the years you 'dont' live are at the end when everything sucks anyway, id much rather enjoy the hell out of my 20's, 30's and 40's than live an extra ten years at the end of my life...
