    maximum injection size

    What is the maximum CC's you can inject. I've done 3cc's for 3 months before with no problems.

    The cycle im on now tren, prop, and winny, i've uppded the dosages, and im doing roughly 4cc's and its going to get upto 5cc when i add winny.

    I can spread them over several shots, but i would really like to avoid that since im doing ED shots. Im worried im running thin on places to inject.

    Im having alot of problems with Prop pain, and half of what i inject is grapeseed oil.

    I would get rid of the grapeseed oil to cut down on volume. Anyways, there is no set limit for injections. It's all about your personal experience and how much YOU can personally take at once. Some people can take more do to muscle belly size/shape and like I said experience shooting, even some people with smaller muscles can handle more because they have been doing it for a longer time...odd you think...why would someone who has been doing it for longer have smaller muscles? Well they shouldnt LOL, but in all honesty it could be a female who doesnt put on mass as easily as a male or just someone who doesnt know what they are doing.

    I personally wouldnt be shooting 5cc's in one place.

    I have shot 4ccs in one go for a period of 12 weeks...it was 2 shots a week (monday/ thursday) alternating between left but cheek and right one...must say I handled them pretty well...no scar tissue so to speak...but I wasnt doing the shooting...it was a professional person giving me the jabs...so she could judge where to hit etc...
    the funny thing was keeping track of which cheek's turn it was to shoot...till we came up with names: left cheek was monday cheek and right one was thursday...
    I also did 5ccs at a go but it was for like 6 weeks (last 6 of the cycle)...I would feel some "weight" in the spot for some time (couple of hours) after the shot...then it would subsidise...

    the way I see it, most syringes come graduated for 5ccs anyways...so I guess it's for a reason ... now 6ccs in a jab, that I would definitively not do



    cheers

    I've gone as far as 3.5 cc's in the glute with no problem. I would inject slowly though.

    You said u are on ED injections and afraid of running thin on places to inject. U also said that you're currently doing 4CC and u intend on upping the dose to 5CC.
    Do you actually inject 4ccs to other places than the glutes?
    If you visit **************.com you will notice that it's recommented not to go more than 1.5-2ccs on other spots than the glutes...Not sure if that's right, but i guess it depends on one's ability to absorb the fluid.
    I know everyone is different but i'm just pointing that out for your safety bro.

    yea i've checked that site out before, it says to start with 3cc's for gluts and for the rest 2cc's then work your way up.

    I tried doing 2cc's each delt, it hurt. but now im thinking it may have been because it was the firt time shooting anything besides B12 in my delts

    Honestly man get rid of the grapseed oil, be a man. Cut your prop with the other compound you are using. You said you are doing 4cc's and half of it is grapeseed. My god man you need to cut that down to AT LEAST 1cc, me I wouldnt even do it at all. SO what prop hurts a bit, it just feels like a bruise big deal.

    This is an old thread, but I'll wake it up b/c yestgerday i was reading the nursing guide, and it said that 5cc is generally the largest volume to inject IM in the glutes. Another study talked about 10cc injections not causing any problems.

    Also, I called a pharmacist friend of mine and he said that 5cc in one spot is better than 2.5cc in two.

    I just did 6cc total: 4cc's testex(125mg/ml) and 2cc EQ(300mg/ml) in my left glute and its a little bit sore but not bad. i will let you know if it hurts tomorrow.

    here are the web sites i was talking abt:

    The maximum volume for IM injection is limited to 5 mL in the gluteal region to 2 mL in the deltoid of the arm.

    Lipid-soluble [oil-based] drugs are rapidly absorbed from IM injection sites, whereas the absorption of water-soluble drugs is erratic and ***endent on molecular size or molecular weight (MW). This is because water- soluble compounds cross capillary walls by pore size-***endent diffusion. A study by Sund and Schou13 reported that the absorption of mannitol (MW 182), sucrose (MW 342), insulin (MW 6,000), and dextran (MW 60,000­90,000) from rat thigh muscles was inversely related to MW.The major factor limiting IM drug absorption is the flow of blood through and around the injection site. The clearance rate of drug and, therefore, absorption from the injection site is directly related to blood flow rate. For instance, absorption of lidocaine is rapid after injection into the arm muscle but slow after injection into the gluteus maximus, due largely to the difference in the blood flow.5 Difference in the blood flow may also be responsible for the more rapid IM absorption of cefuroxime,14 cephradine,15 and some other compounds in men than in women. This is due to a greater fraction of adipose tissue in women.16

    Rubbing the skin around the injection site increases the absorption rate of drug due to an increase in local blood flow and a spread of medication throughout a wider area of tissue.

    The next article talks about 30ml IM injections but I dont think they were injecting oils: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/m...4/ai_n17211622

    I think those are med guidelines based on the average person. Not large cattle like yourself.
