Achy delt after injection - normal? How much can I inject at once?

**eyeothetiger** · 01-27-2010, 06:35 AM

Hi guys, yeah I've just done my second self injection. First was in my glute which was literally pain in the arse lol as I couldn't twist to see properly. Hence I started thread on here and came to conclusion delts would be my best option so went for it.

Just injected 300mg test e, went in first time as didn't **** about, used 1.5" needle so went half way in as advised. Very little blood and was very sterile but it seems achy, not mega but because delts bit new for me as always been injected by my friend in glutes just wanted to make sure everything was cool?.

Also, how many ml's can I inject in each delt at each injection?. I am using Test E, 300mg per 1 ml and injecting once per week which I know is not ideal but have my reasons.

Any help will be very much appreciated cheers.

It's just a little sore, you'll be fine.

You'll get mixed opinions on how much you can put in your delts.

I've put as much as 3cc in my delts, but until you get used to it, I'd say 1-2cc's is safe for smaller muscle groups.

Usually as you progress to your latter injections, it will get less sore as well as your shoulder. I believed I have read/heard that 1 inch injections are good enough for the shoulders and 1.5 for the glutes.

I do 2ml injections often in my delts.... no pain. Havn't attempted 3ml's yet but I will in a month or so.

I do 3ml's all the time into my delts and only use a 5/8" 25g dart...works great.

**eyeothetiger** · 01-27-2010, 08:44 AM

Yeah thanks guys, I used a 21g 1.5" for this one so think from what you're saying is why aching. Have some 25g 1" on the way and some nice big 3ml barrels so I should be smoother with them hey?, even with the after ache I'm sticking to delts as for me is easiest.

**idrockasupra** · 01-27-2010, 08:45 AM

I just did delts for the first time ever monday, i shot 1.2ml using a 1" 25g, i have the sake soreness u describe, if u ever shoot quads get ready for some real pain lol ive heard up to 2cc in delt

**eyeothetiger** · 01-27-2010, 09:31 AM

Cheers, yeah I didn't go whole way with 1.5", went half way as the main man BIG had advised. I also only shot 300mg because I am at the end of a dbol kicker/test e cycle and want to cruise for another month before going onto pct, who likes pct hey.

your really doing yourself a disservice. post cycle is just gonna be that much harder.

Delts are gonna be a little sore no matter how long you inject in them. The most I personally injected was 300mg of Test Cyp at once

***D7M*** · 01-27-2010, 10:03 AM

^Yep.

I doubt you'll make that much more significant gains in a month of cruising on 300mg/wk, and you'll just make recovery harder.

I thought we already went over this, lol.

**eyeothetiger** · 01-27-2010, 10:41 AM

Am I really risking that much by extending a month at that dose?, I have correct pct lined up and will take adequate break after. I had small dip in test levels as I had slight delay getting hold of more gear, in that time everything downstairs became lot more productive shall we say.
