Any need for AIs or PCT with androgel? Any sides? First time using any androgen
I'm 23, been lifting for a few years, focused n powerlifting. I'm 5'9, 165 with 365/250/410. Progress has slowed quite a bit over the last year.
I have access to 2 bottles of androgel 1.62. One pump delivers 20.25 mg of testosterone USP. I just want a boost to my recovery/progress without any sides. Is it ok to run this without any AI or PCT? Will I experience sides? I understand that the transdermal are nowhere near as effective as injections, but I don't want to do a real cycle yet. I just want a small boost.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
What I would do: 1-2 pumps 1-2x per week until the bottles run out, then stop. Since its such a low dose, do you think it will cause any significant drop in my natural test production?
Side note: I have a history of anxiety issues and I'm currently cutting.

if you don't have low t andro gel will do nothing for you it will onley bring your levels between 500-700 and yes it will shut you down it is TRT just in a different form

I got my test checked when I was 20 and it was mid 400s. Assuming my test levels have stayed around the same over the last couple years, would it not be beneficial to bring my test up to 500-700?
So if I were to use androgel for 12 weeks or so and then stop, I would have a significant drop in test? Sounds like the costs outweigh the benefits.
Im a bit paranoid about side effects but I would like to be a competitive powerlifter at some point, I feel like getting that little boost from a slight test increase could help me get there.

get blood work done first I use healthtestdirect.com and see what T levels are now. if you are in the 400 range you will feel a slight boost but it will only last couple weeks if that and like I said it is still TRT drugs so you will have to run a pct when you come off because it will shut down your natty production

I knew 100% what this was going to say before even opening and reading the tread and had to LOL
Straight up if you use the androgel you are going to screw up your test levels and not in a good way. You can take a bath in the stuff and unless you already have low T you will not have any benefits from it. It will NOT add to your existing T. It WILL shut down your natural T production and more than likely be lower than normal during use. It may peak a little higher at times but overall 99% of the time it will be lower and then you have to hope after you stop your natural test will recover and not be lower than what it was.
Only one who would benefit from using androgel for muscle gain are women. Check between your legs, if you have a WifI antenna then it wont do you any good. If you have a USB port then yes it will.
