Conversely, I regularly test as testosterone deficient but I’ve got some muscle (under a dad bod) and would describe myself as pretty aggressive (but try and remain peaceful and burn aggression in BJJ.)

I am wondering if our current understanding of testosterone traits is wrong, or perhaps my understanding is wrong?

Edit: I’m a little older than you.

Presumably there are other factors, but I'm pretty sure testosterone correlates with aggressive traits, sex drive and other similar aspects, most definitely.

You can have muscle if you have low testosterone, but it will develop slower compared to if you had higher testosterone.
