[QUOTE="bkb33, post: 137947, member: 38008"] I think spreading the dose over 2 applications would actually be less convenient. You still need to wait for it to dry, and it impacts shower times. I personally work out in the morning, shower, then apply the cream. Then I walk around in a bathrobe for 10-15 minutes as it dries; my wife thinks it's hilarious. I don't shower again until the next day, too wary of washing off the T. Yes -- that's pretty much what the roundtable means with that saying. It doesn't [I]always [/I]mean more T, but it often does. They're saying, "don't be freaked out by a high TT if everything else feels on point." This appeals to me because my SHBG is so high (>80!) that it seems my TT [I]has [/I]to be high (>1500) for me to have a decent free T and see symptoms resolve. I'm guessing the same is true for most high-SHBG guys, but many doctors will panic at a high TT. With regard to the last part of your question: I agree that [I]most [/I]men will eventually feel good if they keep going up in T dosage. But that is not always true, and it doesn't mean such an approach is optimal in terms of longevity. This is the delicate balance I and many others are trying to strike: What feels good today may not be best for your long-term health. But it's a decent indicator. [/QUOTE]
