Hey guys, I just started running 500mg of testosterone ethanate a week. Ive been seeing a lot about sub q test injections and want to switch to that as ive heard that it helps keeps your levels stable. Also I dont enjoy pinning IM. So I have a few questions that I hope you guys can clarify for me. Is the absorbtion different in sub q and Im? I know that ethanate is a long lasting ester, can I inject everyday to avoid injecting so much at once? I inject twice a week and my last injection was on sunday. My next injection would be Thursday. Should I wait until thursday to begin injecting everyday or start today? If I injected everyday I would be injecting 72mg/0.25ml per day, where would you recommend injecting? What size needle should use, I have a bunch of 25g 1in needles and don't really wanna buy other ones so can I use those? Any other tips are very much appreciated. Thank you!!!
 
just pin 2x a week vg, its less painful than subq and way less effort. i did subq for months i even did subq tren, its not worth it. just pin im. lower needle to a 27g 1 inch if it hurts too bad
 
Shallow IM daily

if you use MCT oil based test and pin shallow IM daily w a slin pin you will be good.

You don't want oil pockets from pinning in fat even if they are minimal due to the small volume of oil ur pushing

nah the actual pinning isnt the problem its the freaking pip that lasts for a while. Also could you please explain why its not worth it?

Im like 22% body fat ish. Like abs are visable most of the day expect for after eating. Point is I'm not that lean. Will the oil pockets still be a big problem?
