    Test prop PAIN

    I am mid 4th week of my test prop + tren ace cycle. I am having 100mg test prop and 50mg test ace EOD. The cycle isnt what I wanted to talk about in this thread however.

    I have been noticing some hueg pains with my injections. I did expect test prop to be a little more painful than Test E (What I have done in the passed) due to some research, however I Wasnt expecting how crippling it can actually be!

    My have been cycling through injection sites, the second last one was in my delts. The pain was bareable, but it felt like someone had punched me, and it lasted for about 3 days. My last one was in my calves, and I can tell yo, I WILL NOT be injecting there again with test prop. I have not been able to walk for the last 2 days.

    My only option now is to stick with glutes and see how it goes. If I keep gettign these pains I may need to just assume test p is not for me and cycle off and do a test e cycle in a couple of months.

    Test p always gives me pip at all my injection sites. I never have a problem with other compounds.

    You're not alone

    Quick acting test will do this...it's often not worth the pip hassles - you might have been best off diluting your injections with a painless product (such as low dose eq, tren e) - just make sure to learn from your mistakes and our mistakes & stay away from injecting prop into your bicep

    im going to finish off this week (week 4) and stick with glutes. I'll decide if I am to continue depending on the pain.
    I've actually had to skip gym 2 days this week because I havent been able to fucking walk there.

    IF I decide to stop completely, should I just stop. for say a month and then start my Test e cycle? or should I still a small dose of PCT and wait longer?
    whats everyones suggestions?

    Tren shuts you down in one pin. You should run a full pct and then take the appropriate time off before you start another cycle.

    TEST PROP is one of those things some people do experience pain after injection. I personally can pin 3cc and not have any issue so it is individual. You could try cutting it down with another anabolic at injection time. Some just have to switch to ENAN or CYP.

    I've had Prop that was pretty smooth and I've had Prop that I threw away after a couple of pins due to PIP. I don't do Prop anymore. I'm a wimp. I hate not being able to walk after a pin in the quad. Pin into the biggest muscles in your body. That tends to dissipate the pain better.

    just updating the thread.
    I wont be doing prop again due to 1 week of not being able to walk from PIP.
    HOWEVER, since been injecting purely into glutes, I have had 0 pain at all, Its not my favorite place to pin but its my only choice with prop.

    I find the BA percent of the mixture, more than the ester length, makes the pain.

    Brewing at 3% and 8% is enough of a difference between no sting and sting.

    I've been injecting prop in glutes and delts and I'd have to say the pip is getting much better. At first I was in agony but I made some changes and now there's little to no pain.

    People recommended massaging the muscle after injecting... I STOPPED doing this because I think it caused more pain. The way I see it is that your muscle is full of juice after injecting, you want to give it some time to dissipate and spread the juice, not force it physically by pushing and rolling over your muscle. Another thing that I believe is helpful is a warm shower or something to get your blood moving, maybe a brisk walk or light cardio. The oil should start circulating in the small capillaries and that should help to reduce the risk of pain, in my opinion.

    Another thing I believe to be true is that your muscles need to get used to injecting. You'll get pip from new sites, just expect that. But changes take place in the muscles after that... Perhaps more capillaries, deadened nerves, ability to accept higher volumes of liquid, I don't really know but something happens.

    Ultimately I recommend keeping it simple. Don't over complicate things trying to mitigate pain.

    Man I can tell you I have always had pain with those shorter esters, if I’m taking Ace I will mix it with test E when I shoot, if your your using test P for contest prep you may be stuck, if not you can switch to a longer ester, I know it sucks if you already bought the other

    I rarely get prop PIP,. but I prefer larger muscle groups.
    There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...

    Theres not a “best” one for pip. It dont work that way. You look for spots that dont bother you as bad, but if youre a vet you look for better sources.

    I been there and done that and things like test prop usually have more pip than long ester test but still nothing super uncomfortable. A good source wont have much pip at all if any with any compound aside from some stupid shit like injectable winni or that dhb stuff people use in place of tren

    Nothing should be super painful, a litle but of discomfort is gonna happen with new injection spots its just part of the game either man up or its not for you
