Quotes to ponder:
"Cutting your workout short simply because you’ve been in the gym for 45 minutes makes absolutely no sense at all."
"The idea that you should stop training after 45 minutes because you reach some kind of hormonal 'tipping point' is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard."
"Some workouts lasting more than 90 minutes have been shown to raise testosterone above resting levels for at least two hours after the workout has finished."
