    Lumps on quad

    Stated my first cycle, currently on week 6.I've been getting lumps on my quads after my weekly injection they go away after a few days and stuff. But I'm using a one inch and usually I just inject in my right quad but I am gonna start rotating. However , I'm just wondering are the lumps normal for first time users? I don't want to get an infection or that one thing where the oil doesn't a get into the muscle and it leaves those permanent lumps. So just wondering how many bad injections would it take for that to happen? I think I'm ok now but I'm just concerned for the future.

    Nah it isn't warn. When I flex my quads I feels a little tender and my needle is one inch. I heard I should use 1.5 but my supplier who has been doing it for a long time said it's fine

    sounds like a pip, but the deeper into the muscle the better so for quads i use 1.5" 25g, no pain.

    Warm + pain = infection.

    I never got lumps. Definite PIP after my first few injections. Never visually different and no lumps

    Like a golf ball that wont go away.
    How fast are you injecting? If you inject to fast you can be causing bruising or charlie horse.

    As asked above.

    the lump has gone down today and yeah I do think I inject too fast. The next time I do it I am going to go very slow
    And take a few 10-20 second pauses.

    Rotate sites and use 1 inch for quads and delts, 1.5 for glutes. Massage the area after the injection, this helps distribute the oil.

    Sounds like your going to survive. My first cycle was Test E. My quads got swollen, hard and stiff. I walked like a peg legged pirate for 10 weeks. Learn to love it. I found warming the gear first and messaging the site before and after helps too. I switched to test C and no issues at all.

    Rotate sights give your quads a break. Pin you glutes and delts too. I like delts. I can pin 2 ml now. I worked the volume up slowly.

    OP I tend to inject way too fast and I get the same thing in my quads every once in awhile.
