About the only noticeable difference is that I'm not sore the day of or the day after an intense ride. It's nice for the legs to not be "weary". But ... I still suck at climbing! Been doing more of that, since I signed up for the Strava climbing challenge with the goal of finishing in the top half. It's still difficult to pull a 1 or 2 mile, 6-7% average grade at more than about 6 mph. Not sure if it is due to lousy sleep habits, (5-6 hours per night), being overweight, (by about 20 pounds), or poor conditioning. Probably a combination of all three. Or, I just suck as a climber.

It's probably going to take awhile to become a monster on your bike. (I'm sure you know that of course.) Improved testosterone levels may well allow you to train just a bit harder. I have noticed other benefits like more energy generally at work, etc. and I suspect you may too. More and more I can feel, and see, changes in my body composition that I really like. Good luck and post your observations from time to time.
