Sub Q Test

[enzo729]

I've read the max recommended amount is roughly 0.5ml if going sub q to prevent redness/swelling/lumps but what about concentration? 0.5ml of 250mg would be 125mg per shot. I know a couple of guys who are on TRT and are injecting much lower dosages, 100-200mg a week compared to someone who's cycling at let's say 500mg so they are averaging 30mg to 66mg per shot sub q.

Would using a higher concentration of test (e or c) cause more pain or bring any trouble with it?

If you are on TRT...
Most likely you are using test C 200mg/ml.
Most would do one or two shots per week.
.25ml x2 per week is 100mg.
.50ml x2 per week is 200mg.

There are some who do inject ED.

I guess I worded that screwed up. What I meant was, would injecting 125mg per shot (0.5ml of 250mg) sub q bring about any problems compared to injecting 50mg per shot sub q?

I don't believe it would.
Many do .5ml or 100mg sub Q.

What might cause a problem is doing sub Q with the higher than normal concentration of gear, such as super test 400. I think this could cause PIP. However it also causes PIP when shot IM also.
There is a reason pharma grade is 200mg/ml for test C and 250mg/ml for test E.

Gotcha. Thanks for the feedback. I didn't think it would from a logical standpoint but it doesn't hurt to ask.

I use test cyp at 200mg/per ml and have inject .5ml subq. What I have found is that the larger gauge syringe causes less PIP. I was using a 27g 1/2 went to 25g and there is way less PIP.
