literally overnight--once he switched to testosterone enanthate, a variation seldom seen in the
medical profession in the United States. Who made the suggestion? An advanced bodybuilder
who knew his biochemistry. It shouldn't have made a difference, yet it did.

bodybuilders have testing, even synthesizing, esters of testosterone? No. Most doctors view
bodybuilders as cavalier amateurs, and bodybuilders view doctors as too risk-averse to do
anything innovative.
