What do you mean that once you start HRT (Androgel or injectible steroids)you’re on it for LIFE?!?!?!?

What about all the people who have taken a lot of injectible steroids but then quit and done bodybuilding or powerlifting NATURALLY?? I know that Arnold Schwarzenneger did Steroids and then he quit but kept lifting and eventhough he is nothing compared to what he used to be he is still strong.

But there are many other people who quit steroids and keep lifting so they are not on steroids for LIFE!

So, please address the above.

Generally when bodybuilders run steroid cycles they do so for a period of time like eight to twelve weeks or longer. After they use PCT to bring their bodies natural production back up to par. Also, these cycles are meant to brings androgen levels far above what the body normally produces hence the beyond ordinary muscle and strength gains.

HRT, is meant for those who suffer from low test production. You are running a mild dose like 100mg which will put you into the normal to normal high range for test levels. It may help with slight muscle gains, but nothing like a 500 or more milligram dose of test.

However, it’s still enough to suppress your bodies own production of test. That’s why generally people who go on HRT don’t cycle it like a bodybuilder, but remain on it for potentially the rest of their life as staying on straight for a year or more especially if your production is already minimized may permanently hinder the feed back loop and keep production low.

EXACTLY. Androgel aint roids man. It just isnt strong enough of a dose to give you huge results in say, a short cycle. Its something you need to be on for MONTHS to help. A “Cycle” of Androgel probably wouldn’t give you any better gains than eating clean and lifting big. Its just not that strong.

However, over time, it will help dramatically in the way you feel and quality of life.

If your looking for a cycle, get a legit cycle and dont waste your time or money. If your looking for HRT, its for life, and androgel isn’t a bad option.
