You’ll live.

Test is only elevated for about half hour after exercise. The rest is mainly dependent on nutrition, fitness, sleep, age, and time of day. You can probably go a couple weeks or more without lifting and maintain your T levels if you do mild exercise and eat well.

Testosterone is relatively stable over time so it has more to do with your lifting habits and what you eat.

This isnt a physiology subreddit.

Those small natty fluctuations you get from lifting or no fap don't actually make much of a difference.

As long as you're maintaining healthy levels, who cares. Your levels should be those of someone in their late 20s or higher (not much higher). Not lifting for a couple of days won't change that. Not lifting for more than will.

One day of lifting causes an acute increase of testosterone. Your t will taper back to its base line after some hours. Jeff Nippard has a great video on this on youtube.

Well we can certainly use our brains for this one

If you do absolutely no physical activity that could possibly tire you in any way, then its going to affect your testosterone quite a bit and you should worry

If you DO physical activity outside of lifting and skip lifting for a day, then it might not affect if too much

12.2% peak for 31 hours with an extinction-coefficient profile of sinusoidal structure.
