Is the odd injection of testosterone beneficial for weight training?
Weight training will increase your natural levels of testosterone anyway. If you inject testosterone, you face a few unpleasant side effects: Your body will detect the excess testosterone, and operate a feedback mechanism in order to control it. It reduces the amount of testosterone naturally produced by shrinking the glands that produce them. (Those would be your testes!) Your balls will, apparently, grow back after you stop taking the doses of testosterone, and therefore, you may not find this a problem.

You will need to take anti-estrogens in order to control this, and if you do start growing breasts, you’ll need surgery to remove them. The testosterone receptors in the muscles will apparently shut down. You’ll have to do your own research to find out whether they start up again after you’ve finished the cou
