**Petercage** · 07-17-2009, 04:08 PM

What is the difference between the Testosterone Gel I'm using (Testim 1%) and actual Anabolic Steroids that are used in bodybuilding to pack on muscle? And what type of results in the gym will I get off of Testosterone Gel that do impact my testosterone levels ?

the test gel you are taking is identical to injectable test that is an anabolic steroid . only difference yours is absorbed through your pores instead of being held in an oil based ester and injected. they are both the same, testosterone is testosterone is testoserone!! You will see some small gains from the gel in the gym becuase you are upping your natural test levels back to where they should be! but you will not be doing any type of a "cycle" like the oil based injectables would be used for

The difference is one works and the other doesn't.

The absorption rate of the gel is maybe 8%.

GEL is more useful in the trash.

Yeah some guys at work were thinking of using the gel, I was pretty sure it would be horribly gimped compared to injectables. Seems I was right.

You are 100% right. Gel is completely waste. Your body will only take in XX amount... LOL better be bathing in the gel to get some affect of it.

I never said the gel was any good! I was saying that they are both testosterone ! which is 100% true! I agree that it is worthless and might as well ge shots of test if anything!
