to me it seems obvious that it's just that Testosterone will act as a signal to build muscle
taking large amounts of exogenous Test will override your body's internal regulatory mechanisms and skip straight to "build more muscle"

probably there is some right way to do it, but it's probably difficult to really figure out.
