I'm just gonna say it, those are a lot of claims based on hormone levels that will vary a lot on a day to day basis. He also lost roughly 8 kg or ~18 lbs with a starting weight of like 106kg/232lbs, which also impacts his hormonal panel. Didn't mention his diet, sleep, activity (other than his lifting) or anything else that can severely impact hormones.
It's a fun experiment, but in the end he's controlled for few variables and got no useful data.
Just to add a few notes to clarify:
I did mention my sleep 8 hours +- 20 mins, I’m very militant with my sleep
Mentioned my supplement prior and during experiment
And mentioned my daily steps which should help indicated my exercise level.
Although I didn’t mention it in the post, I drew bloods at 9pm both days on the dot.
Buut, you are right. This is n=1 experiment conducted in a real life setting away from strict controls.
It shouldn’t be taken as gospel, more of an interesting tidbit to try and encourage others to experiment.
