Im pinning Test E 2x weekly on Mondays and Thursdays. It so happens that I hit legs on Wednesdays and Saturdays so when injection time comes, my legs are usually sore. Is there any benefit to injecting when the muscle is sore vs when its not?
Im sure it has no local benefit to the muscle, but Im thinking that because theres more blood in the area due to the broken down tissue, my body will absorb the Test more efficiently?
Just rotate the injection site, if a muscle is sore already and you inject there a lot then your muscle may develop scar tissue. Although test e is not so hard on your muscles (assuming you tolerate the oil and solvent), give it a rest.
Also if you are going to do leg day, just pin it before the workout. Working out the same muscle group you use in the injection will help the tissue to dissipate the injected material.
Why monday and thursday?
I'd stay away from quad injections...too many nerves and blood vessels. Glutes, delts, bi's tri's, lats are all better options.
Lifting after injecting can have the benefit of increased mind muscle connection due to "feeling" the muscle prior to working it out, and site injecting into smaller muscles like biceps will stretch the fascia and cause noticeable size increases but that is for more advanced lifters and typically guys looking to compete cause getting into injecting that often and in those areas you really gotta have a good reason!
love the quads
Mainly because I got my shipment on Monday morning and I felt like a kid on Christmas lol. Why wait? Do you have a different suggestion?Quote:

I figured Mon/Thur would be more evenly apart for more stable blood levels??Quote:

Must admit though, Im anxious to pin again. Next cycle I might go with Test P so I can go with EOD injections lol
I pin Monday and Thursday as well out of convenience...Quote:

Did my first shot ever on my first cycle ever on Monday... lol not gonna lie it was nerve-wracking no matter how many videos Ive seen on injecting the quads. However it went smooth as butter. No pain, no blood. Looking forward to shot #2 tmrw amQuote:

I haven't heard of people getting nerve damage from hitting lats though..I guess technically we can hit a nerve anywhere, but certain areas are more likely to cause issues I suppose. Do you know anyone this has happened to?Quote:

Some things I've experienced personally are a lot of bleeding, actually had blood squirt out after removing the needle a couple times (this has happened ONE time in my glute when I went too far to the center where blood vessels tend to be more abundant). I also tend to have painful injections there and def hit more nerves and have more bleeding.... and for some reason, although I haven't had this happen personally, people seem to have a higher risk of infection when going in the quads (but I have no data for that just something I've heard)..Quote:

Gotcha, thanks for the input. I only have 1" long pins, you think those are long enough for glutes?Quote:

You don't need to go THAT deep in the muscle, as long as the oil goes into the muscle you're fine and going an inch deep should pretty much always accomplish that!Quote:
