Pretty Urgent Question

[Big Papi JR.]

On Monday I pinned myself for the first time with my Test E dosed @ 400mg/ml. I know this injection is supposed to hurt like a bitch, but the injection site wasn't sore the first day/night. As of yesterday though, the injection site has been extremely sore. My glute is slightly swollen and feels hard, for lack of a better word. Is this normal? I'm pretty concerned.

[Big]

how much did you inject? did you inject quickly?

[Big Papi JR.]

I injected 1mL and I shot it pretty quickly.

Will I get used to these injections or will I have to endure 12 weeks of this shit?

[Big]

I prefer shooting very slowly, to give the oil time to absorb. Also make sure the muscle is relaxed, if you tense up it will make it less likely to absorb. Some shots just hurt more than others, don't get discouraged just yet.

Also if its the first time it will be pretty sore for a couple days. It was for me and mine was dosed at 250mg/ml. 400mg/ml is some high concentration, so yeah youll be in a some pain for a bit. But Ima hit the nail on the head, inejct slow so the oil will get dispersed through the muscle. Its almost like drinking a glass of water and then slamming and gulping water (too big of a gulp and it stretches and hurts the throat) Youll get used to them. If it stays red and swollen for a week or more I'd suggest seein a doc but once again, don't worry you should be fine.

[Big]

how many mg per week are you doing?

[Big Papi JR.]

800mg/week man... This shit is pretty discouraging. My ass is sore as shit lol. You guys think the pain will subside after a few injections?

[Big]

400mg/ml is some strong stuff, if it doesn't ease up you can cut your shots with some sterile oil.

[Big Papi JR.]

how would i go about doing that? thanks for the help, btw

[legobricks]

buy some sterile oil from ar-r .com

Pull 1ml of test and 1ml of sterile oil and inject. Ar-r sells cottonseed oil which is fine.

yeah, inject slowly. imo, I would warm a coffee mug of water in the mw and draw your as in to the syringe, place the cap back on the syringe, place the syringe in the cup for 1-2 minutes, place new pin on syringe and inject slowly and try to keep the pin from shaking,,,

I am shooting T3 and Tren A. T3 every MON and THURS and Tren A EOD. I have one large needle that I use to draw the AAS from the vile and then switch it with the pin I inject with. This will keep from dulling your pin. What size of needle do you use? I use a 23gX1", this size seems to work well form me. Also make sure to switch muscle sites, I prefer gluets and thighs. This will keep from building up scar tissue. Oh and one more thing, you said it is your first time. Make sure to pin yourself at a 90 degree angle, meaning straight in you muscle. If the pin does not make it pass the fat the AAS will be stuck there for awhile until the body can remove it. This might be what happened to you, I did that my first time and it was quite uncomfortable!

It could be that you didnt have the pin in far enough. One time i did that on my quad, i had a golfball sized lump and soreness for a few days.

[millionairemurph]

you are doing 800mg of test a week for your first cycle?

You can also increase injections and reduce volume. Take 4 1/2 mL shots instead of 2 1mL. Like hit both glutes 1/2mL on sunday and both delts 1/2mL each on wed. or whatever your schedule is..
