Absorption varies greatly form person to person but about 10% is claimed form shoulder application. I usually would have put it on straight after a hot shower as according to SWALE this lets more in. Also I has heard that irritating the skin immediately before hand will help too as blood flow is increased to the area, I would do this by rubbing a towel abrasively over the skin then apply. This will cause a burning sensation for a while but nothing major.

If you REALLY want to inrease absorption then some suggest applying to scrotum but don't do this as it really, and I mean really burns there so badly that you have to get it rubbed off with cold water, been there done it - not funny at the time.

It's messy stuff and does not beat bi weekly Test Cyp injections in my opinion at all. 50mg of Androgel is a small dose and in many it is far too little to have real benefit and may put you with a lower Test level than you started with.

That would bring you into the production range.

liftsiron is a fictional character and should be taken as such.
