    androgel and deca?

    I am a 40 yr old male, i'm taking 5g of andro gel for low testosterone level. I recently recieved a bottle of deca qv 300 from a friend and was told it would help with energy during work outs which i am lacking. Is this something to consider and is it a safe combination. Thanks for any advice.

    Welcome to the board! I think that you need to do some research before you consider what you are proposing.

    the gell is rubbish and if your injecting deca your going to need more test in i jectable form ,why on earth doctors hand out that gel is beyond me ,wouldent 1 200mgs injection of test c per week be alot better than rubbing that rubbish gel on every day?

    If you need energy for the gym why just pop 15mg of ephedrine?

    I hear caffeine is some sort of a pick-me-up.

    If i were you i wouldn't try to think of Deca as a "stimulant" A lot of the energy problem could be diet. Lots of guys go on keto diets and starve themself of carbs. If you go into the gym with no glycogen stored in your muscles you're not going to have a lot of energy. So thats where people on these diets need stimulants like caffine. Caffine doesn't give you more energy or fuel, it alters the way your brain percieves fatigue. Whats your diet like? Are you putting any pre workout carbs in your body?

    Would your doctor consider an injectable testosterone ?
    Andro gel is poor choice for what we would be trying to use it for.
    I'm not a big fan of transdermals at all.

    the androgel may or may not cover what you need to keep you from having sexual dysfuntion. I'd drop the gel and go with a long estered test twice a week at 100mg per injection. Whats your current diet look like?

    I wouldnt even know where to start, I eat fairly healthy, and when i say healthy i mean no junk food or fast food that type of thing. What i'm looking to do is cut a little fat and gain some muscle, and i dont have time to be in a gym for hours at a time. Thanks for all of the quick responses.

    Best thing you could do would be to right down everything you eat for a week and what time you eat it. Then we can get your diet right. Your diet is the foundation of everything.

    I take 4 family size green tea and 2 pekoe tea bags and brew them up and make 2 glasses of "pick your butt up for hrs" iced tea out of this. Green tea will pick you up but you dont get the wired ass feeling like useing ephedra or straight caffeine.
