First I would like to start this out by saying I owe all of you and apologie. I used to be super active and tried to help out whenever I could as I loved doing so.
I lost myself a few years back and mentally I checked out, I've battled depression off and on for many years.
I should have asked all of you for ideas, guidance and help, I at the time felt weak and ashamed so I just went away thinking I could beat this on my own.
Looking back at things I handled this the wrong way and let many of you down as you welcomed me to the team with open arms.
I am back now in a much happier and better state of mind and ready to help out and be active again if it is needed and welcomed.
With that out of the way I will get to my topic, compounding testosterone cream why is it looked down on by so many ?
All I see is use the needle inject be done with it cream doesn't work etc etc , well this might be true for a vast majority, for me it is incorrect completely.
When I first started my journey I got put on a cookie cutter protocol 200mg a week 500IU Hcg and .5mg of AI ( now I will admit when I started during covid I put on decent weight I am 5'11 for context and I weighed 250lbs , as of me writing this I am currently 225lbs and been grinding back in the gym to be shredded again like I used to be.
Blood pressure was high on 200mg probably because I was fat lol, estrogen was around 70 my total t on that dose was 1440, over the year or so I messed with the dose alot and found 130mg being my sweet spot with good blood wok and feeling good all around mentally.
Fast forward my endo kept nagging me try the cream blah blah, now I admit I used to be injection or nothing.
Well I switched from cyp to cream 5% concentration at 50mg and boy was I shocked as hell test results showed 1058 total t shbg was good free t excellent hemicrait and hemoglobin excellent blood pressure back down to 120/60 just how I used to be all the time.
I was very impressed not only did I feel good the ed issues that got better with injections completely went away for good with using just the 50mg testosterone cream I was jumping for joy.
Now I can use my ed meds for a pump only in the gym
as a man it felt great im 34 and have had to use pills for ed since my mid 20s that crap is over !
Not only that but I feel I am achieving way better results for my mind and my body and my gym results seem to be better with the lower dose of the cream.
Now to my knowledge you only absorb 10-15% of the dose through the skin, for reference I use it on my forearms daily.
25mg am 8 hours later 25mg in the pm.
The cream also goes up from 50mg to 100mg and Topps out at 200mg if a Tobe is curious.
I messed around a few times and jumped up to 75mg for my dose and wirh bloods drawn my endo also shit himself because my numbers came back at 2100 total t to be honest no one could rain on my parade I was on cloud 9 at that dose lol.
This got me thinking as I am currently cutting to get back to how I used to look what would happen if I ran a few shirt small cycles nothing crazy maybe some var or maybe keep my trt dose and toss in som var or low dose primo. ( if I respond this well to the cream it has me curious, can I break the typical mold and run way less then most suggest and make good slow steady gains and prove you might not be as jacked or a mass monster but can it be done and also can it be done with way way less sides and better looking blood work.
Who knows maybe if I get enough traction on this post maybe in the future I will test it out with diet log gym log and cycle log with the guidance from the brotherhood on here.
Anyway I hope all is well for all of you and I look forward to getting back into the swing of things, happy spring and happy gains for all
