Hi Gch...

I received a question in response to a popular video about [the effects of exercise on testosterone levels](https://www.drsamrobbins.com/mens-health/the-truth-about-exercise-does-it-increase-or-decrease-testosterone/). This is an important question because I know many people at my gym doing exactly the same!

"Hey Dr. Sam,

“I take energy drinks or pre-workout stimulants before heading to the gym. I feel more energized and stronger because of them; does that mean they're increasing my testosterone levels? Is all this extra adrenaline good for me? Some people say they will actually have [a negative affect on my workout results!](https://www.drsamrobbins.com/mens-health/warning-how-stimulants-stress-affect-testosterone-hormones/) Can that be true?”

I hope the [video](https://www.drsamrobbins.com/mens-health/warning-how-stimulants-stress-affect-testosterone-hormones/) helped explain the complex relationships going on here... stimulants can add additional stress on the body, which can lead to adrenal fatigue, and layered with working more and sleeping less, it just doesn't give your adrenal system chance to recover. This hormonal imbalance leads to a decrease in total and free testosterone... which leads to less muscle, more fat, less motivation and drive (a lower libido and even erectile issues)!

Be careful: what you might gain in short-term performance at the gym may in fact lead to smaller longer-term results.
