Interesting blog from Adel Moussa on the diminishing returns of supraphysiologic doses of T (in this case test e):

some highlights:
"elevations and even reductions of testosterone levels within the normal physiological range do not have any significant effects on skeletal muscle mass."
"What is almost frightening, though, is the tremendous (and statistically highly significant) detrimental effect reductions of testosterone within the "normal range had on the fat mass of the subjects (-47% testosterone = +17% fat mass; -57% testosterone = +36% fat mass). These obesogenic effects of low testosterone levels may be related to the direct anti-adipogenic effect of testosterone (Singh. 2006) and fits perfectly into the emerging (yet still not canonical) image of low testosterone levels as result of and contributing factors to the obesity epidemic (Corona. 2011)."
