    bad shot... give it few days, if area sore and hot, may be getting infected. bad shots happen, cant tell in 1 day. keep change inj sites, 1 spot per week works for me.

    Bruised injection site? Are you injecting slowly or fast? If your injecting to fast you can cause bruises.

    What for more stable blood levels? i can see that i guess..most pro bodybuilders and powerlifters i know around here when using deca advise one shot a week..next time explain your reasoning, not just get off on thinking youre correcting an 18 year old.

    Not to get too off track here, but yes you can get by with once a week deca injections.

    Similar to how guys on TRT get one shot of cyp a week.

    But at higher doses, and for bodybuilding purposes, yes twice a week is better.

    Yeah but thats a trt dose. they are doing only like what 200 250mgs ew? Where as why if your running test e and deca why would you want to shoot deca once? its not logical in any way.

    Maybe ill start shooting 2ccs of test on monday and 2 ccs of deca thur? Whats the point? I would much rather keep it split up evenly threw out the week.

    Anyways yes we are off topic. Back to OP.

    wow im sorry.. i have NEVER even heard of such a thing..i have been researching for a good two years atleast too. Everyone in person told me its such a long lasting acting ester one a week is perfect and most common..scary when you think some of the people i know and get advice from are competing in the arnold this year. (they were invited)

    in response to your second line...no, thats not it at all. its just when talking to PRO bodybuilders and powerlifters you would think they know all the ins and outs and they have never even mentioned deca twice a week like my post above will state they say its a long acting ester one a week is FINE..SO either they are shitty and inexperienced which isnt really possible i dont think when youre thirty five plus been doing it atleast fifteen years have your pro card and are doing the arnold this year..or they just have older school type techniques.. which could easily be it cause they are more into convenience like when they do a test 500mg a week cycle they just do one shot a week and thats that. its all about convenience and timing for them. maybe cause theyre older maybe cause they think its better i dont know. sorry to hijack the thread and im sorry for the aparant BAD advice i gave.

    Try treating the site with Tea Tree oil. Don't use a heat pad as if it is an infection the heat will help the bacteria grow and make any infection worse.

    pro bb's probly inject once a week for convienience since they probly are injecting 4 or 5 other things as well. if you doin 2 grams of primobolan a week and gram of test yeah once a week but we aint pros and niether is op, its called context

    It's a great natural antiseptic and antifungal. It's good for acne and athletes foot too. Don't use it undiluted. Ideally you need an ointment with Tea Tree oil in it.

    For acne you want a product with 5% Tea Tree oil in it. If you can't find one, buy the essential oil and dilute it with water; 5 ml Tea Tree Oil with 95 ml water.

    You're getting your advice from pro bodybuilders? I find that very hard to believe.

    To the OP. Is this your first cycle? Being sore is part of the game. It hurts to inject a foreign substance in your body. Over time we get used to it to some degree. And the virgin muscle adapts. But it's common to have pain, some redness and swelling. You will get used to it and be able to judge what is abnormal and what is normal eventually. If you can handle the pain.
