Talking My Test Base TDS288 is working!!!

Guys, is been officially 5 days since I started my cycle using transdermals. This is the first time I use TDS, always used pins like eveyone else. I wanted to do something different this time. I am going to do a shot cycle of 8weeks.
Week 1 thru 4 100mg of Test Base per day
Week 5 thru 12 50mg of Test Base per day
Week 5 thru 12 400mg of Deca (weekly)
Week 6 thru 12 Liquid Winstrol 30mg per day
Clomid for PCT(No I do not use Nolva for PCT)
Nolva on hand just in case
Liquid anastrozole .25mg ED throughout my entire cycle.

So far, I LOVE it! I feel is working for me. Strength has increase, energy and well being as well. I am getting hornier already. Is wonderful, I do not have to wait 4 or 5 weeks for the enan-test to kick in. I am not getting any bloat so far, feel my skin a little oily and that is sign that is truly test.

I am posting this because I said in anther thread I will post my results.

Peace!

Carlito

Thanks for posting this up, I am sitting on the fence about it as we speak.

Forgive the stupid questions. Is the one bottle lasting the entire 4 weeks? How is the dry time, smell, etc......

Yes, in my case it does since there are 240 pumps at 25grams of hormone per pump getting exactly 12.5mg absorbed so 8 pumps a day thta is 100mg of TEST BASE! by 30 days= 240 pumps. After that I will finish my last 4 weeks with Test/TREN combo. It dries very quickly, no stains and just a very temporary mild smell of alcohol, I've tried other TDs in the past and I always had to wait for it to dry and they irritated my skin, this one does not! is very gentle on the skin.

I was skeptical too! but a believer now, I started doing DMSO/fina pellets with little success after I did the needle i noticed the BIG difference then never believe in TDS ever.
Due to the rep of the guy that makes these I thougth I'd give TDS atry again, since it saves the hustle of injecting and chances of getting infections.

Is going to be a week by friday and all I got to say is that this really works, I am feeling the test already and instead of looking forward my dose of 'gear once or twice a week, I just apply 2 times ED and look forward that moment.

I've gained 3Lbs and no bloat so far, skin getting a little oily and a big difference in my strength.

Later

great

sounds great bro...i think i am going to give it a go myself.

you are saying that bloat hasnt been a problem thus far. what gave you bloat problems in the past?

M1T and trans. 4AD both bloated me pretty bad, so i am wondering if either of those bloated you before as well?

Here is a better explanation from an expert:

It is easiest to control hormone levels with ‘long acting ester’ injectables.

This is not necessarily true either.

It is a known fact that long acting esters (cypionate, enanthate, decanoate) will give a steady rise of hormone levels from the time of injection. After they reach there peak levels they will slowly begin to decline. A slow decline in hormone levels is generally undesirable for a steroid user who is seeking a fast recovery. The lingering exogenous hormones are the last thing a user wants in their body at the end of a cycle as they further suppress the HTPA while no longer making gains. Fast clearance of hormones post cycle should be a priority, as it will ensure a prompt recovery of natural testosterone production.


The point is that hormone levels can be controlled much easier without an ester present. This is one of the benefits of using testosterone suspension (or other base hormones). Of course the obvious downfall of using test suspension are the daily pricks of the body and the crystalline deposits that the injections leave behind. Ouch!

Remember, TDS-288 can be effectively used for short OR long cycles and the fast clearance times can benefit the user in both types of cycles.

Is been great! I've been applying 8 pumps per day that is 100mgs of test base, I aply on thighs, upper torso and lats.
Going on week#3 and no signs of gyno, no acne(just a little oily skin) and little bloat I am taking .25mg of anastrozole ED though. Strength went up and muscles are getting harder and fuller all I can say is I felt so strong that I made the mistake to push myself and did a curl with a 45lb plate on each side and my left elbow is a little sore, luckily I got some Glucosamine cream and I've been using it. This is when I miss Deca injects...
I must admit that is easier to inject once or twice a week than to apply lotion 2 times a day but the TDS works faster and seems to have less sides(so far) I've gained about 4lbs considering I use a small dose of Clen/Ketotefin since I tend to gained fat as well as muscle when on test no matter how good my diet is.
Would I recommend this product? Yes I would one does not want to inject for a change. Will I keep doing my cycles using TDSs? No, but I am thinking of using TDS Test Base to kick start my cycles for the next time instead of Dbol, Test Prop, anadrol or any of the 'kick starters'.
Peace

TDS means 'transdermal' and 288 is the weight of the testosterone molecule. TDS288 is the name of the product I am using.

I question the absorption. 700mg of test weekly is good dosage. If one injected 700mg of prop weekly(not accounting for ester weight), I would expect more than 4 lbs. after 3 weeks. Howevr, the fact that you are making gains is good.

True bro, I will pin again but I would use a TDSTest base to kick start a cycle for my first 4 weeks.
Size, I meant I am going on week #3. Actually 8 pumps has 200mgs of the hormone but only 50% absorbs=100mgs. Each bottle has 6 grams total, 240 pumps at 25mgs per pump label claims only 12.5mg per pump though.
Remember guys I wanted to try this transdermal to see whether it works or not. I am NOT saying is better than injects I'd say injects will always be more 'practical' and efficient for a sustained released of hormones into the bloodstream, something that can not be achieved using this Tds.

Is this an product that can be purchased somewhere retail? Been considering a base conversion/trans but would rather not deal with the base conversion if I don't need to.

Carlito...I understand your position. Sorry, I misread your post, I thought you had completed 3weeks/21days. It is good to see alternative options that are working. Transdermal would be a good option for someone who travles alot for work. Good luck the rest of the way.
