new user ..test/prop question.

[Youngster77]

im almost two weeks into my first cycle ever. running test/prop, masteron , and deca . 1cc eod on the test and mast, and 1.5cc of the deca every 5 days.

ive been alternating sites between glutes, quads, and, just stared on delts. here's my concern...i've injected into glutes a total of 3 times now using a
22ga 1 inch needle. the first 2 times i was in tremendous pain afterwards for days. i know thats normal especially with test/prop but i also get a bump, kind of like a swollen area usually above injection site around the tailbone. its taken a few days sometimes more to go away and it really hurts. yesterday i injected into a glute again. this will be the second time on this side. thinking that this muscle is not virgin anymore the symptoms shouldnt happen again. but today im just as sore as before and am starting to see notice a bump again.

is this normal? has anyonelse experienced this. should i try a longer needle? any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

Whats ya bf% and stats? And also ya age, as is a heavy cycle for a first cycle.

Id go for a 1.25 or 1.5 in the gluts just to make sure.

It will still be irritated with prop many times yet. lol

bf% is between 8-10%. im about 5'11 and weight about 170 age 27. was 166 before i started the cycle. been working out for a little over 10 yrs now.

so the bumos are normal?

i'd say your fine, as long as it's not red, swollen or hot to touch then your probably fine, test prop has a reputation for making people sore, btw, you could try cutting it with b12 to ease the soreness

[shifty_git]

As ya bf% is lower you should be getting into the muscle with a 1" - can always order some 1.25" for next time or now to see if it makes a difference.

Like phate said, some b12 or sterile oil can ease the pinch of prop.

ooh, thanks for the b12 suggestion- That's the first time I've heard that...

switch it up between ventral and dorsal glute sites and yes use a 1.5" needle. maybe try injecting slower dont push it all in in a blink of an eye.

a couple tricks for helping with the soreness

cut with b12 or sterile oil
inject slowly
leave needle in 10-15 seconds after done injecting to lets oil settle in muscle a bit
relax muscle as much as possible
massage muscle for a minute or so afterwards
if the soreness is really bad, ice and take a couple ibuprofen
