first cycle. wondering if I need a drawing out syringe as well as an injection one as I saw a trt kit that included them. I assume I just take my amount from the vial of test and inject it no? is subcutaneous really that much worse than IM? and where should I pin for IM. also, test p everyday or eod?? just looking for more instructive pinning advice as the good threads don’t really include it. also hcg eod or only post cycle or not at all. Thanks so much <3 :D

what ester are you doing & how much?

and yes you should have different needles for drawing & injecting

swapping out the needle for a smaller one after drawing is for pussies, 25-27g is usually recommended.

just pin IM, in the upper outer quadrant of one of your glutes.
also, test p everyday or eod??
every ester should be pinned everyday, but especially more important with prop
also hcg eod or only post cycle or not at all.

i would personally do 250IU EOD throughout the whole cycle.
 
For the love of god, do not pin IM.

I’m guessing that’s 250 prop a week. You should’ve just went 2x weekly IM vg with enanthate or cypionate. Prop is not for beginners nor is it even a good ester. You will build up a lot of scar tissue with prop.

Do not pin test subq, I did it for months, it’s just not worth it

is it that bad :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: I thought you get leakage from im and ‘lumps’
Nigga I had to use a massage gun because I can't walk

Or maybe you just suck at pinning IM. I pinned both quads and glutes, quad can be more painful cuz of all the nerves and blood vessels, glute is essentially painless.

Likely a needle size thing then / related to concentration, since I'm using 23g to pin at 200mg/ml

what makes prop bad for beginners? I’ve read in the botb roid threads and in research that frequent pins mitigate hormonal swings and limit some of the worse side effects of estrogen by keeping your test stable. not arguing just curious as it seems everyone has a different opinion

are there any vids (Derek ect) that actually show pinning and how to do it? like putting the needle in and testing to see if it’s in a vein and stuff, im unsure of the technical term.

ahh, due to the shorter ester I imagine there will be bad sides if you miss a pin whereas c and p are more forgiving?

You pinned with a fucking 23g? That’s not your drawing needle??

Yes you can miss a whole week on cyp and feel the same, on prop you will have less energy a couple days after not pinning

The easiest will be ventro glute. Just standup and put your weight on the opposite leg of which one you’re pinning

Feel your glute muscle and feel for the ticklish and tender part of your glute. It shouldn’t be too grab-able or fat. Insert at 90 degrees with at least 1 inch needle and spread the skin before you pin and while the needle is inside

It should be relatively painless and just has a kind of sore dull feeling going in, if it’s sharp or you see lots of blood just repin. You do not need to aspirate

okay sweet. found some good vids on where to pin. one last thing, so I buy two sets of needles one 25g (to pin) one 23g to draw and one set of syringes. do I need luer lock connectors or no?

yep I’ll do either glute or quad. Thank you SO MUCH!! i hope i can pay u back one day and give you a cake or something. so nice to actually get advised from educated people instead of just called a nigger and dnr

Just use 27g to pin and 23g to draw bro you’re not pinning 5ml of fucking oil

Just use easytouch luer locks and generic Amazon luer lock needles

yeah. Likely will be pinning less than .5ml a day as my test p is dosed at 100mg/ml

yeah I’ll be pinning .35 ml everyday, should I just get 1\2 ml syringes instead

No really you should just get enanthate or cyp, if it’s less than $200 of prop you still have left just don’t use it. Prop is such a horrible ester. You do not want to pin im everyday

is it really that bad? I guess I can try enanthate but i still kind of want to pin ed or eod

if I was gonna pin prop I should get .5cc syringes tho if I’m pinning .35 ml everyday?
 
Glute. 25g 1 inch.

Why do you want to pin ed? You shouldn’t want to pin and if you feel like pinning now, you surely will fucking hate it and do all you can to make it as easy as possible in the future. We all liked pinning at first but after a couple months it just sucks ass.

You get more stable levels on enanthate or cyp even pinning 2x weekly btw
