What do you reckon the combined amount of endogenous testosterone is similar to?


Endogenous..?  About the same as an African Elephant in 'musth'

(They'd better watch out for that urine dribbling  ;D)

"Testosterone profiles during this maturational period were compared between the two species and related to the occurrence of musth, a recurring physiological and behavioral condition exhibited by most mature Asian, and some African, bull elephants. Musth is characterized by secretion from the bull's temporal glands, dribbling urine, and increased aggression. Serum testosterone concentrations in the Asian bull were elevated substantially between April and September each year, coincident with the presence of temporal gland secretion, urine dribbling, and aggressive behavior. Testosterone levels from April through September averaged (± SEM) 41.2 ± 2.8 ng/ml, compared to 7.6 ± 1.0 ng/ml during the rest of the year."

He will place 6th or 7th.  Nothing higher than this.

This looks about right, middle to high middle of the pack.

Can't wait to see him and Nicolas Vullioud go head to head.

They just did at the last Olympia, Vullioud placed 11th in the 212.

The average human male testosterone level is around 5 to 8 ng/ml
Elephant normally 7.6 ng/ml
During "musth" 41.2 ng/ml

The elephant during musth is like a bodybuilder injecting around 6 grams of test per week. Elephant is in pro bodybuilder mode.


Hold on a moment there jr...

First of all, thank you for engaging with my admittedly weak joke.  I have to admit to not reading the link thoroughly, so when you put it into context that helps ("6 grams is teh sweet spot" etc.)

But then I remembered McCarvers autopsy - see attached pic

So what we are saying here is that at the time he expired, McCarver had 13 times as much testosterone in his body as a 14,000lb African Elephant during the mating season ('musth')

Might be obvious to some, but personally I'd never done the math

F**k me  :o

He has a nice gym.  I think Frank works there now.
