r u saying you have water based test? and yeah it wrks for water based compounds also. and with water based you can add some bacterostatic water to each pin and that will help.you first cycle guys kill me. you start threads when it hurts, omg my gear is killing me. you start threads when it doesn't hurt, omg my gear isn't killing me. lmao, i get it though. i have run g2g test and other compounds that never hurt...ever...i am not sure why that is but for the most part test never hurts me. i guess it's like me and my brother. example:as kids we would get shots for something, school shots, and his arm would hurt for days and mine wouldn't bother me at all. fucking pussy....anyway, some react to pain diferently i guess. so don't sweat it. btw, your not going to see dramatic gains after a few pins. and unless your eating, training and resting is on point your not going to see dramatic gains at all......good luck....
