4-AD Transdermal Application!

I just recieved LG 4-AD+ and am going to stack it with 1-AD which will be run @ 400mg a day. I am going to be doing 8 squirts a day of this stuff (4 Servings) @ 2 servings in the morning after a hot shower and 2 servings in the evening after a hot shower.

I think I am going to put the application on my inner Forearm/Bicep but I wanna make sure this is a good spot. Im taking about the crevice between where the begining of your bicep starts and your forearm ends. Kinda the opposite side of the elbow. I was either thinking this or the top of my chest. Can anyone gimmie some tips as to how to use this stuff cause it is my first time using a transdermal and I dont wanna screw it up! Thanks!!!

You'll want to rotate application spots with every application..ie am dose on chest, pm dose on arms, next am dose on thighs, next pm dose on stomach. This helps to avoid skin irritation as well as keeps the ph absorption more consistent.

The tops of your feet is also a good spot.

It would be easiest for me to do the tops of my feet, top of my chest and inner forearms/bicep. I feel like this stuff isn't going to go through teh skin lol. Anyway i don't think i will get any skin irritation and if i do only a few times in the beggining. Where is the spot on the body where the skin is the thinnest for me to apply?

May I make one suggestion? Put it on downstairs. The worst that could happen is that you get bigger...there.

Just remember to wash well before the misses asks for a dance

I think the only spots I am going to rotate is an arm application done on my lower bicep/upper forearm area (correct?) and my upper chest near my colar bone (correct?). I am will rotate them with arm and chest day

Just be careful not to accidentally rub the stuff off on anyone, ESPECIALLY women or children.

According to literature the scrotum is the best place for absorption at least for transdermal testosterone.

Can you do me a really huge favor and log your results thoroughly once you start the cycle?

The 4-AD+/1-AD stack transdermally is really interesting to me, I'm scared of methyls due to all the high volume drinking I used to do.

Surface Area (A): This should be rather straightforward. The larger the surface area of application, all else being equal, the greater the rate of penetration. Obviously, we can manipulate this to some extent.

Skin Thickness (L): Again, fairly straightforward, the thicker the effective area of the skin barrier -- meaning the stratum corneum, the dermis and epidermis, the slower the rate of penetration. We cannot change our skin thickness, and though we can change the site of application, the areas with the thinnest skin, such as eyelids and scrotum, are areas we do not really want to use.

And what is this "Compounded Percutaneous Testosterone Gel" solution consist of. The ones that are readily available contain some solvents that I would rather not apply to my scrotum...thank you

Didn't say it would be pleasant

The study was referring to Testoderm. The reference is made in an organogel study however and is available for download here:
