Here's the punchline that breaks the brains of dudes that can't lift any weight:
Testosterone helps you build muscle mass.
Estrogen helps you increase maximal training volume at high RPE.

Rate of Perceived exertion, or RPE, is a fancy way of saying: "how many more times could you have lifted this weight?"
It's a 10 point scale, with 10 meaning "I could not have lifted this even one more time" and 7 meaning "I could have lifted this 3 more times."
So Eg, "I did 5 sets of 5 at RPE 8"

estimating RPE on the three big lifts: *shaking, crying, throwing up* “that was probably an RPE of 6”
Estimating RPE on accessories: *feels slight burn in muscle* “oh man, RPE 10, can’t finish these sets”
