increased muscle mass = increase in natural testesterone

I have no previous research on this, but I read somewhere on here that your body only porduces 6gms of test a week, don't know if that helps or not, but I do know that 6gms compared to the 400gms a week of test is a big difference.

I doubt that there is an increase due to the fact that the added weight cannot be sustained by the body for long periods of time without the aid of drugs.

I think mentally you "feel" as if you have more testosterone because of increased confidence and esteem. I know what you mean though because when I was smack dab in the middle of 3 years of training, I was freakin pumped, aggressive, and horny as hell. Didnt take any gear either. Though after 2 years off because of an injury, I have no where near the aggression, or sex drive. I personally think it has alot to do mentally. Goes with saying "you feel as good as you look." Just my .02$. Though I would like to see some documentation to support the raise in test with increase of muscle mass.

You have it backwards. It's the progressive resistance training that causes the body to produce more test thus tipping the body in an anabolic state and producing more muscle. The idea that just having more muscle mass will cause more test to be released is in my opinion just not true. And if it was true then we would have no natural limitations as we would gain more muscle mass and then produce more test which would cause more muscle mass, etc. and the cycle would continue indefinetely until we were monsters.
