testicular getting smaller

I heard from someone at the gym
telling someone else that
working out too hard
forces your testicles to work harder to
produce Testosterone there for testicles
get smaller in the result.
Just curious even tho I doubt it.

If the testes are working harder to naturally produce additional testosterone (no prohormones), then they will actually increase in size (very slightly). Most, if not all, prohormones and steroids will make them shrink.

Pure freaking rubbish! The only reason your testes would shrink is if you were juicing. The body doesn't need to keep making test when you inject, so the testes stop working regularily. Hence, the testes shrink up because the body isn't asking them to do anything.

Colin.. you said that the testes will shrink cause the body doesnt ask them to do anything.. does that mean once your off the prohormone or steroid and its out of your system they'll go back to normal size? lets say if i took m1t would they shrink? can anyone tell me?

When you mess with hormone balance, you can be asking for lifelong issues. The body is smart and responds to everything you do. Many times with negative consequences in order to 'right the ship'.
