Enjoy it?!?!: Look for side effects from excess testosterone, whether your 1st or nth injection (or other form of replacement). Then focus on proper nutrition & regular exercise (recent study suggests obesity hinders ability to get to proper level). Keep in close contact w/prescribing physician & get monitored regularly for heart disease & stroke risk factors from excess T. Don't forget sterile shot technique!
