Injection Questions? All advise and help appreciated...

[Almost Jacked 33]

I am currently on a Test only cycle (10 weeks, 500mg/wk). I was originally planning on injecting once a week, but after the first injection in my glute, I have been really sore for the last couple of days. I know that the soreness will be gone soon and maybe its just from injecting into a virgin muscle as they say. My questions are would injecting twice a week at 250mg help keep the soreness to a minimum? Also, Is it a noticable advantage of injecting twice a week, rather than once? Thanks for your time and any additional advice would be appreciated.

yer test e is ok injected once a week but alot better at keeping levels stable if injected every 3.5 days. Also you'll only be injecting 1cc of oil at a time shooting 2xweek so it will hurt less in the following days. Rotate 4 sites that way u only shoot the same muscle every 14 days.

no injecting twice a wk wont reduce pain,you just need to get used to pinning,as you said its just virgin muscle.and yes there will be a noticable difference between pinning once a wk and twice a wk,2 x wk will give you less sides

If it's that much trouble, pin quads. It's a lot easier to limp on a sore leg than sit on a swollen ass. I definitely recommend shooting twice weekly.

yeah shooting twice a week would give you more stable levels and it would definatly hurt less because you would be injecting less but dont just inject in the same area in the same week other wise you are gonna be still screaming!!

try to get use to it like the mates said, what some people on this board tried is take a shower before injecting your self right after you finish you are still warm as well as your body you go ahead and make the injection. try it it might help.
there must be a favarite spot in your body that would tolorate more than the others, everybody has a favorate one.
good luck on finding it.

Shoot twice a week and rotate sites like mentioned.

Just to back up what everyone has been saying this thread might help in understanding the difference with injection frequency

Hope it helps

when pinning inj. Very slowly, it should take you at least one min to inj. if your inj. To fast it will cause you more pain than doing it slowly.

How to reduce post injection pain.

i sit my syringe or vial of gear on my cable box. the heat from it warms it up. makes it easier to draw, to shoot and less pain from the shot. you can put it on your computer or some such thing.

but like everyone said. virgin muscle will hurt, and shoot twice weekly.

Wow. I am very impressed with how fast the responses came on this forum. Thanks alot for everyones help. I am defiantly going to start injecting twice a week. I guess I will be needing to pick up some more syringes, but its all good. I went for my run this morning and the soreness is almost gone, so thats good. Anyone have advice on rotating pin spots or does it really not matter? The reason of wanting to inject once a week was mainly because I am nervous about injecting in anything other than the glutes.

[vishus]

you can rotate with glutes, delts, and quad. all are dense muscle and would be best choice for injection site. if going 2x a week you could go monday Am and thursday PM

Thanks for your replies everyone. I decided to front load 1000mg the first week. I did my second injection in my delt and from what I can tell it went alot better. That is saying that two days later I dont wake up sore as sh** like I did with my glute injection. Anyways I will continue with 500mg a week, splitting between two shots.
