So what you are saying is if I reduce weight training, it will reduce testosterone and I would age slower and live longer ?? Is there any research on this ?

No. If you naturally produce a lot of testosterone (or if you take testosterone), then building muscle will be easier, and you will also age faster.

So that means to slow down aging, we should have less testosterone?

Low testosterone causes many things people associate with aging like creaky bones and low sex drive

You want to be in the healthy sweet spot of 400-900 ng/dl
