The position you take after receiving a testosterone shot (injection)—either sitting or standing—usually does not significantly affect the outcome of the injection itself. The main considerations after receiving any injection typically involve ensuring that the injection site remains clean and avoiding pressure or friction that could cause discomfort or bruising.

Here are some tips to consider after receiving a testosterone shot:

1. **Comfort**: Choose a position (sitting or standing) that feels most comfortable for you. Some people find it easier to relax while sitting.

2. **Mobility**: If you've had a muscle injection, standing or moving around a bit can help the medicine distribute through your muscle tissue more effectively.

3. **Injection Site Care**: Regardless of your position, be mindful of avoiding pressure on the injection site for a little while after receiving the shot.

4. **Follow Aftercare Instructions**: Always follow any specific aftercare instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

If you have specific concerns or experience discomfort or unusual symptoms following the injection, consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.
