Just a general question.

Hello...new on the site. Coming of of OXY on a taper and getting good information. I am fairly educated and prior to the taper off, I as place on TRT gel (they are all the same-T is T). I have been working out (always in relatively decent shape) but want to get to next level. Not looking to get huge or anything; just toned.

In the opinion of the experts on here, will therapeutic doses help? If my serum T is above average for a 46 year old male will this help me with muscle tone? I stress, not looking for anything other than lea and insight on experience.

Thanks all! T

Did your doctor put you on TRT gel?

Yes Guido. I am on the 1.62 version. Thanks for the reply! Best, T

Well I commend your doctor. Opiates fuck your Testosterone levels up something fierce.

A theraputic dose is not going to have any profound effects. Testosterone Gel has never been noted nor used for increasing muscle mass and lowering body fat. It doesn't have the bioavalibility injectable Testosterone does and you can't dose it at bodybuilding doses. It's strictly for TRT.

Considering you are coming off an Oxycodone addiction, you are going to have to concentrate on diet and training. Personally I would only worry about maintaining sobriety at this point and worry about your physique later.

Have to agree with this advice.
If you want to tone up a bit and gain a bit of muscle but not too much, your best off training natural, eating right and staying off the drugs. Steroids are really only for people who want to take shit to the next level or impatient people who generally have no idea what their doing.
Train natural for a while then make yóur mind up if you would like to procede artificially.
Best of luck to you.
