Yes. I used Androgel for TRT for many years before switching to injections. The "protocol" is fairly simple: after showering (key for max absorption) rub x number of pumps on alternating shoulders (delt area). Wash hands. Use caution because the gel can transfer to others with skin-to-skin contact.
Start with 2 pumps/day, run bloods to check levels, adjust accordingly. If not at desired test level, use 3 pumps, bloods, repeat until desired level is achieved. Key is to start low and move up as needed (going in the other direction sucks).
I found Androgel very effective for true TRT - 4 pumps would put me at a very level 650 Total T with E2 in range.
4 pumps is the max recommended dosage. I found if I went any higher (5 pumps) I would achieve 800's but would get E2 issues - bloating, bitchy, etc which reflected E2 in the 60-70 range. Gels cause a disproportionate amount of E2 relative to injections in my experience, especially at higher test levels.
If true mid-range TRT is all you want, it actually works great for most people.
Good luck!
