"Fat-free mass did not change significantly in the group assigned to placebo but no exercise (Table 4 and Figure 1Figure 1Changes from Base Line in Mean (±SE) Fat-free Mass, Triceps and Quadriceps Cross-Sectional Areas, and Muscle Strength in the Bench-Press and Squatting Exercises over the 10 Weeks of Treatment.). The men treated with testosterone but no exercise had an increase of 3.2 kg in fat-free mass, and those in the placebo-plus-exercise group had an increase of 1.9 kg. The increase in the testosterone-plus-exercise group was substantially greater (averaging 6.1 kg). The percentage of body fat did not change significantly in any group (data not shown)."
Its fun to google and paste links to studies. But you also need to do some work if you want people to think that its relevant.
Could you detail how you established that this is a study whose results have been replicated or otherwise accepted into the general body of knowledge as applicable for the general population? If not, what if any are the contingent factors that would preclude its applicability for people not represented in the sample that was chosen for the study?
How did the guy to whom I replied validate his broscience? I'm not going to write a PhD thesis in a HN comment box. At least I cited a source. If you don't feel that my comment is relevant you're free to ignore it and move on with your life.
Citing something doesn't mean you're any closer to the truth than the 'broscience' crowd. A lot of broscience people are buff and they think their success validates their ideas.
