They do. My wife's son has been squatting for a year and his test levels are through the roof.

Hes right though. The only truth is trying hard is the key.

I'd say just heavy lifting in general will increase those.

cannot get enough of this meme please carry on
Hormones are produced by endocrine glands in the body. Once produced they work by floating around in your blood and eventually make it into a muscle cell in order to bind to a specific receptor for that hormone. This binding signals the cell’s DNA. In the case of anabolic hormones like testosterone, growth hormone and insulin-like growth factors the signal is to enhance the development of muscle protein contractile units (aka build some muscle!).
Stress from heavy resistance exercise increases anabolic hormone levels after exercise . The amount of hormone released is going to vary based on:
The amount of muscle tissue stimulated
The amount of muscle tissue repair needed after exercise
Volume of work done in a training session
Amount of rest taken between sets
Training Age (How long you’ve been training for)
So what do we have to do to increase our body’s production of anabolic hormones?
Utilize large muscle group exercises (Deadlift, Cleans, Squats)
Heavy Resistance (85-95% of 1 rep max)
Moderate to High Volume of Exercises
Multiple sets and multiple exercises per session
Short Rest Intervals (30-60 seconds). Longer rest periods will have similar effects but not as pronounced.
