So im 3 shots into my cycle (first one test cyp 500mg a week so 1.25cc twice a week) and im just curious about injection sites. first 2 where in my quads which were easy, used a 1.5" 22G which the length seemed really big. im a pretty small guy. today i did one in my shoulder (deltoid) and it was very awkward since i could only use 1 hand. i used a 5/8" 25G which some sites say is too short but i feel like that is plenty long for my shoulder (any input would be appreciated on this). my question is that i am thinking about doing it in my chest (pectoral) come monday and wasnt sure if that was as safe or not. r there a lot of veins or is it just as easy as the quad n deltoid? same question about calfs n traps coz those r possible injection spots i have been contemplating. for my shoulder, the shot i did today, am i going to know if the test didnt actually get into the muscle if i didnt go deep enough or will it just not work and me never find out? i have both 1/2" needles and 1" needles so i wasnt sure what would be appropriate for the muscles i am lookin to do.

Why no glute injections? Safest, most pain free, easy to access...

Injecting into the muscle group that you are working that day will yield no additional benefits. Being active on injection day can help speed absorption and healing, but for the most part, site injection at AAS volumes is a myth. Glutes should be your first choice. Always.

I am pretty lean so I use 23x1 on glutes and quades, haven't done delts but if I did I would use 25x1

no 200mg/ml
200x1.25=250 (i do that twice a week so thats 500 total)
and i heard rotating is best. i dont want to build up too much scar tissue! i need at least 3 different muscles to use so now i got glutes n quads. im not sold on delts so i want to try and find a good third 1. pain isnt an issue for me, i dont care if it hurts as long as it works and doesnt cause damage!

need at least 3 different muscles to use for a test cyp cycle? try your calves
haha, thanks? calves were on the possible list. i guess i dont NEED 3 different muscles but i would LIKE it to minimize scaring. were u being serious about the calves or just f**king with me? lol

B,
I'd prefer that you use glutes and delts. There is a reason that physicians prefer these sites when they administer injections.

lol thanks
ya thats where i was getting info from. that and howtodoinjections.com r both very helpful.
i think im gonna start sticking to just those n quads. is 1" sufficient for glutes? guess i should just get some 1.5" 22g for glutes and use the 1" 25G for my quads. im gonna stick with the 1/2" 25G for my delts coz a 1" seems like its way too deep for delts.
I use 25g 5/8 on delts and quads and 25g 1 inch on the glutes. I am lean also. I dont even feel the 25g pins. Someone suggested it when I started and it was a great choice for me. why use a thicker pin if u dont need to. Also I think 1 1/2 into the delts is too long a pin esp if u say u r lean too. jmo. Good luck

I used 23x1 on tuesday in a virgin shoulder muscle. I am a genius (not srs). lol
oh ya, no way i would use 1.5" on delts... i might use 1" only if i had no other choice... i have a few 5/8" n a whole bunch of 1/2" so those r gonna be delts. i tried both 1" and 1.5" of quads and 1" is plenty for quad. im gonna try the 1.5" on glutes in a few days and see.. im thinking im gonna have to get some more 1.5" for glutes coz i dont think the 1" is gonna be enough. luckily tractor supply sells 22g 1.5" so i dont have to order another box of needles just for glutes.
