I've never found anything on that either, which i took to mean that it has no affect.

Where's Keira? she's good with this sort of question

Never take a lack of information to be an indicator of good or bad. I would suggest that you have labs drawn prior to working out and then repeat afterwards. That is the only way we might know. Sex and orgasm also change your hormone balance.

Hm... having blood drawn before and after isn't quite the easiest way...
I was simply womdering how does it affect M2F on HRT? I know that
exercise can boost T levels in males by increasing LH, but someone like
me who is on anti-androgen (Androcur in my case) could I still have some
T increase after some exercise?

Sorry, I just don't know but I do know MTFs that work out regularly and it doesn't seem to effect them negatively. You have two questions here; does it raise T levels (the only way to know is labs) and will that make your life harder (which I would say is no, but I could be wrong.) Where is Keira? She know so much about the MTF side of hormones. Sorry my knowledge is mostly limited to biomales (who want T) and FTMs.
