Androgel

[bbcr11]

Has anyone had any experience with Androgel? I've been on the prescribed dose for about a year. I raised my prescibed dose for a bit last year (unbeknownst to my doctor) and got the bigest I've ever been. Granted, at 43yrs old, I'm heavier than when I was a kid (245-17%bodyfat at the time). I have to say, even at the low dose of test (as compared to injectables) that was the reason I got bigger and stronger quicker. I'm wondering if I up the dose well above the prescribed dose what might happen. I was thinking of a shcrt "cycle" of 6 weeks or so. Anyone with any knowledge of real gear care to offer an opinion, it would be greatly apprecitated. At the high end of my past usage, my test levals were up to about 1300ng/dl. My doctor told me to drop down the dosage trying to keep my blood levals below 1000. I've been told people on a cycle have test levals in the area of 3000ng/dl. Thanks for any input.

Well, why were you prescribed this androgel? I think you will find the answer to "what will happen if I up the dose" through this. There is no question that the more androgel you use, the more results you will get, the through part, however, in your case, is that this androgel was prescribed to you for a reason, which in common sense tells me that it was done to fix a problem or to help you coup with the problem. So if you were to use this androgel for weight gain, I think you would have to really jack the doses up, meaning you would not be following the prescription. If you cycle it, you would probably do 6-10 weeks of high doses, then a pct. The pct might effect you negatively, if you were on the androgel for a medical reason in the first place. This might sound weird at first, but since your on it anyways, ask your doc if it would be possible to up the dose so you could gain muscle while fixing the problem. First I would do research on androgel so you have a case and you show him/her that you know what you are doing. Second, learn about pct and what is needed for androgel (probably clomid and nolva). I think if you play it smart, most docs will allow this, as long as you promise to get blood work etc, as this is a liability for docs. If you do decide to jack the doses up for an official "cycle", please log it, or post the results, as I am really interested on this.

Good luck.

I'm sure hes on androgel for low test levels, aka TRT...doctors will try to prescribe androgel to you before they give you injects -- just gotta give them an excuse like you have a child in your family or something.

yeah- you could hypothetically cycle with androgel...seems like its not worth it with androgel being low dosed and all that gel you would have to rub on.
