    PIP Redness Lumping

    Hey guys I've been on cycle for 10 weeks, and recently switched from a 250/mg to 400/mg test. Im getting really bad PIP 2 days after and lasts for about 5 days then finally fades. I get redness, swelling and lumping. Ive been using a 1/2" needle the whole time with my 250/mg with zero PIP. Do you think that I may need to inject with a 1" deeper into the muscle? Is this PIP normal with higher concentrations? Is it a light infection? Its a very popular brand, and its been verified on there website, so I'm not sure whats going on. Thanks in advanced.

    Yeah, t400 is painful. Id never use it. Stick to test c 200 works much better. I use 1/2” in delts and 1” in glutes. Hopefully youre rotating injection sites.

    If you had an infection, you'd have other symptoms. One in particular would be a fever. And if it were infected, it wouldn't fade after 5 days.

    I don't know how big the muscle you're injecting to is or how much fat and how thick your skin is, so there's no way I can tell if moving to a bigger gauge needle will help. I've only ever used 1/2" needles to draw gear out of the vials and for shoulders.

    What I'd suggest you try doing is to try injecting in to muscles you're going to train a few hours after you inject (this would help me a lot when I would inject in my quads). But the best solution I could think of would be to get some lower concentrate test and get half of your dose from the 400mg and half from the lower concentrate. That way the gear won't go to waste.

    But really in the future, if you're just running test or 1 or 2 compounds, don't bother with the higher concentrates. The higher concentrates are for people that are running a lot of different steroids and higher dosages so that they could fit more in a shot.

    You'd think if he was in agony for 5 days, he wouldn't be hitting that spot 2 days later. But with the people I've been seeing posting these days, I wouldn't assume that.

    If he's injecting in his quads, he probably shouldn't. That always gave me severe pain and coughs.

    I just bought some grape seed oil I'm pretty sure it's MCT oil that they use. Going to try to cut it down. Do you think this will solve the PIP problem?

    I'm willing to bet it is because he's cheap and saw a small difference in price between the lower dosed test c and that.

    Point always goes back to not doing research. Everyone knows that shit hurts like a fucking son of a bitch.

    kids don't learn.

    doing research on these kinds of things is critical. ive met guys who jumped into taking AAS without doing any research at all. even guys taking gear and they dont even know what drug it is theyre taking

    OP, not trying to imply this is what youre doing, this is just a general statement

    on the subject of doses, id always prefer to go with higher concentrations if ordering from an online source because then i can get more AAS with less vials being shipped. PIP is just something il deal with, and twice a week glute shots even with PIP is completely manageable.
