So I've gotten 3 tubes of the stuff for free and I was thinking of using that to cruise on between cycles.

Is that even a reasonable idea or am I being dumb? Hell, I'm not even sure how or how much to use.

I've got a powerlifting meet this weekend and I'd really like to take a break from being a human pin cushion for a bit. Hopefully this goes well, I hit my goals and I can finally make the switch to body building.

Should be a perfect cruise item. Make sure to take extra care with significant others and kids...............I hate this stuff for that reason alone.
 
its pretty hard to be precise with from my understanding, and as stated above don't hold kids, or young ones with it on you.

I know a guy who said andro gel changed his life, he was NOT a juicer though, he was a normal dude with super low natty levels in his 30's and the gel was life changing for him,
 
Not holding kids will NOT be a problem. Can't stand them, don't like being around them and I'm afraid I will break one if I held it.

I had a little card type thing that came with my Voltaren gel. If I could find that or get another it would make keeping the dosage consistent much easier.
 
My brother used this and he measured it into a Tsp measuring cup thing. That might work for you. I even tried it but didn't notice a difference
 
When I used androgel, it came in a tube with a pump top on it. Each pump is 1.25g of gel. If you have a food scale, you can zero it out with a tablespoon on it and fill up the tablespoon, watching the weight to see how man pumps it equals. I was using three pumps a day.

I had horrific mental side effects from the delivery agent when I used androgel, just as a warning. Only 1% of users get them, so now I can say I am a 1%er. ;)
 
Disphoria, hostility, anxiety, insomnia, and top it all off with a nice layer of paranoia, so I did not believe my wife when she tried to tell me about all the other changes. Not good at all. Luckily, I am very logical minded and I told myself to do an experiment to prove everyone else was crazy. I stopped using it for two weeks. During that time my mind cleared and I knew my wife was right. But to really prove it, I started using it again and kept an eye on myself. I noticed the changes returning, so I stopped immediately and they went away.

I told my endocrinologist about it and she said it was impossible - even after I explained my experiment. I fired her and talked to my General Practitioner, who referred me to his own Urologist. The urologist said that it is true, I cannot have any reaction to testosterone but that I CAN have a reaction to the delivery method. We then tried Axiron, but my body sweated it all out as soon as it was applied. After 6 months of use I was no better than without it. I then shifted to injections and never looked back.

LOL!!!
 
Never tried Androgel. I had a doc prescribe me the test patches once, but the patch always fell off when I worked up a sweat in the gym. This was many years ago before my first cycle AAS.
 
Ive used the Andro gel and a few others but the one I like the best is Testim, I use it year round to keep my levels pretty stable and great for a bridge in between cycles.....Testim and IGF is a fantastic bridge.....

Prescribed by your doctor i am guessing and does insurance pick that up??
 
Testim is what I started out with, and it hardly affected my levels at all.
That's why my doc switched me to CYP.
It's kinda sticky and a pain to apply every day. I'd much rather sick myself.

I still have 6 weeks worth of it just sitting around.
I guess it's trash along with 40ml of Watson CYP and some Trest Deca I have, since I'm not taking long esters anymore.
 
Yes, I have a very open and cool dr that gives me the rx for the test. He moderates my blood work every three months and knows exactly what I am doing, better to be honest so he knows what to keep an eye on. He also is cool enough to write me rx for my post cycle therapy and when I compete he writes me T3 and Lasix......and yes I have insurance that picks up the bill for me.....my co pay is $10 so I am pretty lucky. I know that the Testim without insurance cost $350 per month but I am taking it because well its there to take along with my other gear so why not for $10 a month.....lol

I have almost the same thing. It is great when insurance pick up your T, needles,arim, nov,ursodiol, etc...... Might as well get something out of it when I look at how much I spend a month on insurance.
