can you run a cycle with test gels?

**O.fO.shO** · 11-23-2012, 11:19 AM

I have a script for androgel 1.62% , I have been stock piling. I do not need trt btw , haven't been using it. My ugl went under and I cant find any synovex to brew my own test. So this is the only test I have available. I have a bunch of homebrew tren , but I obviously don't want to take it without test.

From a bit of research its looking like the gel won't cut it. Opinions?

Isn't gel quite expensive?

Good question. One would have to consider that your natural production will be COMPLETELY shutdown and that you would only need to bring test up to a normal level. The question I can not answer is will Androgel 1.62 be enough to bring you within normal Test range from complete shutdown. I would be shocked if it is strong enough and assume it is meant to increase low test not replace test that has shutdown entirely!

I could be wrong but I believe anyone who would take it will totally shut down natural production?

This might be a good question in TRT..I am assuming the dosage that actually gets into the body would be low enough that complete shutdown may not occur. I will be the first to admitt that I am talking outa my ass cause I have no expereince with topicals!

I think absorption of gels is about 10%. You'll need a shed load of gels applying several times a day to get any AAS like benefit if indeed that's possible at all.

The big question is though Stem if Gel will get you within a normal test range from 0 since while using another compound like Tren a normal range is all that is neccessary. I agree though that I would be shocked if the gel could get you from 0 to a normal range of say 600-800

Definitely not designed to cycle with, this is replacement product. You'd be rubbing the stuff every 15 min. Actually too funny!!!

We'll, the OP could be a guinea pig for the experiment to see. My gel spreads over a large area and I don't like doing it even once a day let alone having to do it several times every day.

What does that put your Test levels at? Were you completely void of test or just low test??

**kelkel** · 11-23-2012, 12:29 PM

Op if you looking to use the gel to get to replacement levels only, e.g. normal levels, in conjunction with Tren it will work for you. It's still test, just a different delivery method.

BTW, when I used agel it kept me in the 800's. If your interested in tweaking it up a bit more, about an hour (no more than two) after gel application rub moisturizer over the same area. It will improve absorption by about 14-17%.

There ya go! Was hoping you would see this Kel.

**Chx beach 79** · 11-23-2012, 01:01 PM

I use gels and can get test levels pretty high 800-1000... But I'm basically bathing in it to get it there! Lol/ but Serious... 3 pumps shoulders/ 2 pumps underarm (axiron underarm and androgel shoulders... I can't wait till my doc switches me over to test C!!!

**O.fO.shO** · 11-23-2012, 02:32 PM

Well , I might give it a try . I do know someone who I may be able to score from , if not I'm gonna try a gel/ fina cycle.

Thx for all the info. Espically the moisturizer tip kelkel.

This makes me really want to use gel on my next cycle as I'll also be using tren

Why? It's more expensive, more time consuming, overall pain in the aas and you are already pinning Tren so why not pin the Test??

**kelkel** · 11-23-2012, 06:34 PM

I've got about 3-4 bottles of 1.62 collecting dust in my bathroom cabinet.....

**Chx beach 79** · 11-23-2012, 06:35 PM

Trust me! Gels are a pain in the a**. They don't offer enough test... You would always want to inject if given a choice... Gels are better then low t... But injections are better...
