I had some questions for some of the more experienced lifters and didn't want to hijack Markuss's thread. Thought a thread devoted to this would makes sense. This is Swole Source after all :P
I would say I am a moderately experienced lifter but have never focused much on compound lifts. I have added to my routine recently and wondering about deadlifts. I see many programs showing a one set approach to this versus three or four. Thoughts? And if only one, how many times per week?
Deadlifts always cause a surge in T for me afterwards. Do them heavy and just once a week should be more than enough.

Compound lifts are best for your hormones. You’ll get a great Test boost from all compounds lifts but the most would be from Squats, Deadlifts, & Olympic Lifts.
I only do isolation work to exhaustion on my abs, & the muscles that get atrophied from PFS. A lot of us get a skinner neck & forearms. I even bought a brace to do neck workouts for this reason.
Don’t forget HIIT. That actually gives you a ridiculous hormone spike, a little bit more than heavy lifting. I did not even know that..
Just stay active... all of us who are on the right path are ahead of 98 % of guys , even those who don’t have PFS..
