Accepted Answer

Not for bodybuilding: Topical dhea is a putative anti-aging cream and it won't touch your muscles. At your age, hit the gym hard, get some creatine, maybe an electronic muscle stimulator if it's okay with your physician, and enjoy yourself. I'm also glad you're avoiding Anabolic steroids -- they're for lawbreakers and cheaters and most women prefer a naturally-fit looking man. Best wishes.
