question about juice

**newjuicer80** · 09-28-2005, 03:15 PM

my buddy just started a cycle of 500 mg test e and 400 mg eq blend two weeks ago. he has been shooting in his glutes. after the first injection his glute swelled up for about a week and was really swollen. after the second injection his other cheek swelled up even worse and he found out he had an abcess that had to be drained. when i asked him i used alcohol to wipe off the top of the bottle he said no. he did rub out the site pretty well but still had issues. do you think he should ditch the gear because it might be bad or should he try again, just cleaner? any thoughts.
thanks

There could be many reasons why he had issues.The gear could be dirty.He might not have injected deep enough,he could be BA sensitive,and that caused a reaction...the list goes on....

he also took a cycle of 500 mg test e a few months ago and had no problems. i dont know if that would narrow down the the possibilities

I agree, same conclusion I came up with. What pin size did he use? Is the place he got the gear 100% legit? Did he follow PROPER procedure for injecting?(obviously not, since he overlooked cleaning the top of the vial), many issues @ hand

Clean up-and make sure he is using the right pins for the inject-glutes should have a 1.5 length at least, too shallow a shot can cause this to happen.

he only used a 1 inch 22 gauge pin and he is a pretty big guy. 6'1 250lbs

the gear came from a guy that has a good rep and sells alot but he this is the first time he start selling a test and eq blend that he received a couple weeks ago.

Well than, the shortness of the pin MAY be the problem. As SHORTIE pointed out he should be using a 1.5" pin for the glutes, to make sure he's getting into the muscle. Sh** I use 1.5" everywhere, just to make sure I'm in the muscle all the time.

thanks alot guys

If he has a fat ass,then 1" pins aren't long enough.He shot to shallow.

But again,no one here can tell you exactly what happened.It's the internet..we can only speculate.
