THIS IS A 3J APPROVED STICKY
Alright since a lot of guys over the last few years have been asking or having a hard time understanding how to back load insulin pins, I figured I would create a thread with pictures. Something to note before I start......
I shoot my testosterone Intra-muscular (IM) and have shot Sub-q as well. If I am going IM, I obviously do 1ml at a time max. If I am shooting my testosterone Sub-q, I don't go over 1/2ml in one spot as it will leave a nasty bruise and its just not a good practice. For IM I shoot Delts and Quads as I am lean enough for a 1/2 inch needle to penetrate my muscle. I have shot my test and other compounds like this for the last couple of years. I ran a test/tren cycle and the entire cycle was done like this as I was keeping my TRT dose and shooting no more than 1ml at a time of Tren and I had great success.
Supplies
1. 2 alcohol swabs
2. 1 29 gauge 1/2 insulin pin
3. 1 20 gauge 1.5 inch pin for drawing
4. Bottle of Testosterone
Here are my supplies
Step 1: Use Alcohol Swab to rub the top vial of your bottle of your testosterone. I practice being sanitary so don't ask why I do this..
Step 2: Using the 20 gauge needle, draw your testosterone out of the vial. I am going to shoot 0.5ml.
Step 3: Grab the insulin pin and pull the back plunger out. Make sure to grab it by the tip as you don't want your hands all over the plunger. Now set that down somewhere sanitary or hold it in between your fingers. Now shoot the testosterone from the 29 gauge in to the back of the insulin cylinder.....
Step 4: Put the plunger from the insulin needle back on and barely push it on. Just enough for it to stay put like this.....
Step 5: Flip the insulin pin right side up. The needle side should be facing straight up towards the ceiling like this pic.. You can watch an air bubble rise through the testosterone up to the top.
Step 6: Now take off the insulin cap/top.
Step 7: You will now push the plunger all the way up until the testosterone is pushed to the top. I push until a little testosterone comes out of the needle. I use it as a lubricate for injection anyway. If you leave the cap on while you are pushing it up, it kind of creates some pressure and sprays a little testosterone in the insulin cap, which is why I take it off.
Now swab your injection area and enjoy!! Please note, I have recently read where guys are actually using the insulin pin to draw. Makes zero sense for 2 reasons. One because it takes time to do that. Second because putting the insulin pin in the vial to draw test greatly dulls the needle for injection. Yes we do this for HCG and HGH shots in the belly but when I am wanting to shoot IM, I always want a fresh needle. Also, some guys draw with an 18 gauge and again if a 20 gauge draws fast, I don't see the point in trashing the rubber stopper with such a big needle. Especially considering a lot of guys these days use 20ml vials so you should try to keep the rubber top in tack. A 22 gauge will work but I have found that a 20 gauge is the best for me. So back load and don't be dumb asses. Good luck!!
