Jones,
Here are a few things for you to consider.
1) The delivery gel. While I love the Avant Labs products, they are specifically designed to delivery the active hormone (in your case 4AD…a fairly poor choice I would think with SO many other direct DHT precursors available…) systemically through the capillary system. The chemicals the make up the hormone carrier in 4aderm are NOT going to penetrate farther than the dermis layer of the skin before systemic uptake. Hence you might as well just rub the gel on your shoulder, traps, whatever, because you’re going to get the same effect.
If you don’t believe me than go read the article that the creator of the gel (Par Deus) has posted on his site that describes in detail each and every component of the gel and why it won’t deliver hormones past the systemic uptake. It wasn’t designed to.
2) To the guys that don’t think that gels work to transport prohormone or steroid into your system…you’re wrong. Period. They work and work damn well. These are very powerful actives and you need to have a very complete understanding of them prior to rubbing them on your dick.
3) Advising people that there aren’t many risks is foolish. Any time you introduce exogenous hormones into your system there is going to be SOME sort of effect. NO ONE can predict how any one individual will react. I think you’re being a little cavalier in your attitude in regard to this. Please understand that these are very powerful substances that should not be taken lightly.
4) Suppression of the HPTA axis can occur in as little as 10 days, not 6 weeks…During that time Estrogen will rise significant to compensate for the exogenous rise in testosterone and what do you think happens once you discontinue the hormone? Endogenous test if flat lined, Estrogen is through the roof and your balls will have a bitch of a time getting going again without some sort of help to reduce the overall Estrogen load. Hence you ‘crash’, and some of the side effects can be erectile disjunction, gyno (bitch tits), depression, lethargy, etc….
Seriously Bo, you’re giving some info here without really knowing what the hell you’re doing. I think you need to do a LOT more research and plan this out from beginning to end.
The simply fact that you haven’t mentioned any post-cycle meds, and some of the points addressed above show me that you haven’t done anywhere near enough home work yet.
Good luck, and let me know if you have any questions.
