Ulter said:Actually those are closer to 200%. But you are comparing apple and oranges. You can't compare 3-5mg per day test swings with the swings caused by adding a 1000mg of test per week. The whole reason you use an ester in a depot is to get even blood levels while using 1000mg/wk. The side effects don't come from the test. They come from the estrogens, prolactin, progestins, etc. Taking 1000mg/wk of test is no problem for those using an AI like AIFM. There are hundreds of men using over a gram a week with AIFM and have NO side effects. The success rate of AIFM for those using over a gram is nearly 100%. Now if they were spiking their test levels up and down 200% who knows how bad the sides would be. Mainly because they wouldn't be dosing the AI to match up with the test spiking.
Put aside your love of transdermal for a minute. If you use suspension and inject it daily your side effects are much greater then if you use an esterfied test in a depot. If you don't think so, try it. Esters in a depot are a better choice.
I said the swings from Androgel are 50%. I'm sorry that was off the top of my head. It's closer 300%.
Agreed on the test suspension, esterfied test comment, but I must say, I personally prefer certain steroids at swift full swing. Imagine an esterfied Dbol… come on now….
Plus, PCT is much quicker and easier when using transdermal steroids. The steroids clear your system within days rather than months… ie. nandrolone decanoate can linger in the system for many months (possibly years) due to the lipophilicity and ease of cleavage from ester, and reattachment to ester, ect, ect.. Same thing with other long acting esters of test, boldenone, tren, ect. All this excess steroid lingering can suppress and suppress... bad news.
If you’re an TRT patient, and don’t mind needles, an esterfied test may be best. However if you’re a bodybuilder or athlete that wants quick rebound and much shorter clearance time for a UA, then transdermals have there benefits.
Better yet, a combination of transdermals and esterfied injects makes room for even more fun...
