PSA #’s elevated from sex (After ADT and RT) part Deux

As a follow up to my post last week similar title), I retested after abstaining from sex, exercise and heavy work for 60 hours and my PSA went from .8 to .7! I failed to mention that in addition to sex, I have been going to the gym on a very regular basis and physically work daily as well! Soooo there is something to it and retest again in 6 months. Plan to do almost the same (will stick it out for the min of 72 hours) prior to that and all future tests!
