    Testim working better than I thought

    told you guys about my low test levels
    total test at 239
    free test at 5.22
    started the Testim the doc put me on 2 weeks ago and is working better than I thought it would
    getting the pump look again---when I go on juice my shoulders pump out quickly--its always the first thing I notice and mine is doing that
    gained 2lbs up to 227 and hit 315 for 3 on smith bench the other day--first time I've done that in 8 months--since on last cycle.
    I will keep you guys informed

    I fell great
    3rd chest workout since starting and hit 315 for 4 today on smith bench--strong as I was last cycle
    Its a wonder how I got along while off juice--I know sounds bad but for the last 3 months I had no energy and didnt even feel like moving--as far as projects around the house -yea right and aches and pains like crazy--my wife also said I was looking bad and old--not my usual self--now feel great and looking alot better,healthy and muscular--I know its quick and some is probably cause of the mind(feel like training again and feeling better about self) but some of the change is really taking place quickly

    just doing 1 per day --I rub half on one shoulder and half on the other every am---it is not as good as cycles I've done but it is working and I would compare it to taking 1 to 1 1/2 cc's per week of Mexican test

    How does that work because it stated inthe information from Testim that you get 5mg of test each application. In one week you would get 35mg per week, if I'm thinking correctly.

    I know its strange that its working that well
    maybe I was so low that its helped or that Mexican stuff was so underdosed and the Testim is such good quality that it makes the difference

    one more idea builda
    if according to directions for testim --rub on shoulders and it says shirt absorbs some ect---I rub on half tube on 1 shoulder and the other half on other shoulder--making it less thick and maybe absorbs better also I wait 30 min to an hour to put on shirt--maybe I am getting more of it than usually people do because the way I apply it
    I dont know but it sounds logical

    I believe it's 50mg per tube. The tube contains 5g content. I also heard half tube on each inner thigh since it will absorb most there.

    i'm thinking of using up what i have left of my testim and adrogel now that i have become comfortabe with a lower dose of injections (100mg EW test cyp)...with the esther in the cyp that's only approximately 70mg EW so if i do 10g ED of testim or androgel , i'll be getting about the same...and yes inner thigh, both shoulders, waistline, back legs, chest...i've used all to avoid using the same spot/area so to avoid buildup or rash and had good results...the injections just are more convenient as they are only once a week

    I am a little confused about absorbtion
    if it is 50 mg per tube why is it 5mg absorbed--does it matter how long you wait before putting on a shirt? does it matter if rubbing it over a bigger area for it to be thinner and more absorbable? if change in these factors gives it a better absorbtion rate than will more than 5mg get absorbed?--or is only 5mg no matter what?

    i'm going to check both my testim and adrogel for the percentages again because my memory tells me that every unit delivers 5mg and the absorbtion was always known to be officially unknown...the only true measure was testosterone levels shown on subsequent bloodwork and my levels were always elevated on any dose...i always stated that the product worked, it was just easier for a once a week shot

    edit...

    just found and read off boxes...yes each unit contains 50mg test but the guestimated absorbtion rate is 1% of that which is 5mg

    so do you think the absorbtion rate ***ends on how applied ,meaning spread over more area to thin it out,keeping it on for longer time, and how long keep shirt off allowing it to dry
    thanks for all the insight jpkman

    i was always told that it absorbs and dries rather quickly so 5 minutes is plenty before putting on your shirt but i wouldn't want to sweat/workout until several hours later....if i had to workout in the am, i would apply it at night and vice versa
    yes, i always covered a bigger area and or combined areas as i usually put on 2-3 packets of androgel ED so one area would be to hard to rub in...i would usually hit chest/shoulders or legs/arms

    they day in the instructions to apply to arms shoulder only--but it works applying to legs and chest as well?--I notice that 30 minutes after putting it on shoulders that its sticky and clings to shirt--I must be putting it on too thick

    i never felt any clinging to shirts and i remember that between testim and androgel one said not to apply to abdomen and the other says that abdomen is one of the best areas??? and they are the same medicine???

    The testim is always like that. Even at the end of the day sometimes my t-shirt still sticks to me. So next week I'm switching to injects from the docs office.
