more testosterone gel (testim) cycle question

[crak samuel]

I was wondering how much of the active ingredient of testim can my skin really take per day for mass gains and also I would like to know what can I stack it with?

 

[stevesmi]

you can stack it with anything

you can run blood work to see how much it is absorbing. i would recommend switching to injections but a lot of guys would rather use the cream.

Blood work will be key here. We know less will absorb than with test injections so I would go with 500mg-600mg per week and see where that dose puts you. You will be able to see if you need to adjust up or down based on the normal test range.

Testosteorne injections are much better then a testosterone cream. What a lot of people fail to mention is that the aromatization into estrogen of a testosterone cream is MUCH higher then a testosterone injection.

Not only that, the cream is very expensive and a pain in the butt to apply every day. If you apply the cream and then start sweating, the cream won't be absorbed and your testosterone levels won't increase. You also have to worry about not rubbing the cream on your wife/daughter etc.

Id never go with the cream because its:
1. more expensive
2. less efficient in terms of bioavailability
3. hassle of putting it on
4. gets your clothes dirty and has a smell

It is impossible to tell exactly how much your skin will be able to absorb of the cream, since different people will have different absorption rates. For instance, my skin just won't take in any cream, and it will stay on for the entire day. At the same time, my wife will put on a cream, and it will go away in a matter of an hour at most, since it absorbes so much better. Hence the reason the injectable versions of testosterone are much better - at least you have a way of knowing exactly how much of testosterone gets into your body.
