HCG, I.M vs Sub-q

**sportsguy891** · 08-31-2015, 06:48 PM

Whats everyone take on this? In the past I ran it I.m. but this cycle I am thinking of doing it sub-q. Any pros or cons either way? I'm just trying to give my glutes a little more rest. I also have not pinned anywhere else but here.

SubQ for TRT patients is my recommendation.

Does not matter how you do it if you are cycling.

You may find that doing any more than .5ml sub Q can leave a nice ole lump.
So if you need to inject say 2.5ml worth you would need to do it in 5 different spots sub Q.

Just dose your hcg differently when u mix it. Dont add as much water, then u can pull and inject smaller amounts.

Women were studied but it should still apply.

Just realized this was a hCG SubQ vs IM thread. I thought it was about AAS.

I would do hCG subQ unless I was also doing an AAS shot that day. In that case I would just load it with the AAS as long as there is room in the syringe.

SubQ is what most like.

I've done both and either way it gets the job done similarly whether one is slightly better or not. It's just a matter of how fast it'll be absorbed which in the big picture is fairly irrelevant.

I prefer IM just because it's easier to add to an existing injection and eliminate the need for an extra SC pin.
