Injection soreness question

[babyface58]

I always us 1 to 1.5" pins in a 25g

Pin your balls, just stick it right in them. Better absorption...


Really...


Kidding...

Yeah every time I pin my balls I do notice a bigger "kick."

Had a buddy that hit a nerve in his quad could'nt walk good for a few days, had to call in work and tell them he had the Flu! lol

About injecting in the delts...

I lost a good bit of muscle after being off TRT... I'm talking 20 pounds.

So I'm basically a skinny guy now with not much muscle mass and I don't have very muscular delts.

Do you still think it's ok to rotate in delts?

I just feel like with the same needle I use to inject in my glutes I wouldn't know how deep to go in to my bony delts.

Also, since I don't have very muscular delts, would the T injection be less effective since there's less muscle mass to absorb the medicine?

1" delts, but if you are super skinny/lean, u can probably get away with 5/8", but you may be better off right now alternating 2 spots on each cheek. 1.5" is usually what they recommend in glute but u can go 1.25". 1" could work but deeper is better and in glute it's hard to go too deep esp with 1.25".

No, not necessarily less effective - smaller muscles speed up half life and absorption curve. You may notice you feel it a little sooner (usually takes me 2-days to notice a shot), but generally won't affect ur protocol much.

Lidocaine is sometimes used to reconstitute antibiotics that are painful to inject intramuscular .... has anyone tried that with testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) injections ?

That sounds a little scary! Can you get sterile lidocaine? I never felt much pain from testosterone shots, but all I've ever injected IM was test cyp

Cyp or enanthate is painless in the glutes. Why screw around with quad shots? A quad shot will most likely breed soreness.

Am I doing something wrong here? My friend pinned me yesterday in the left cheek with 1cc of enanthate and my ass is SORE AS HELL! Feels like a cramp. Can it be that after I did legs today it made it worse?

Sounds like you hit the wrong part of your cheek. Draw a quad with two lines, center cross should be middle of cheek straight on. Middle of upper left area is ideal on left side outer, upper right outer area on right side. The closer you get to the center where lines cross, the more it'll hurt - to the point it feels like a cramp and/or you can't really sit on it.

Enanthate does cause some people pain - not as common as propionate but much more than cyp (never heard of reaction to the cyp ester). One of the reasons most prefer cyp over enanthate. Could be that, but kinda sounds like you just pinned a bad spot.

I've been pinning quads since '86'. Cheeks when I got someone to do it(rarely). When your quads get use to it - no big deal. Yes they can get sore - at first.
