    Subq and low bf%

    Anybody have sub 10% bf and doing subq injections? If yes, have you had any issues at this body fat level? Guessing I am now in the high 12's and noticed a small lump after my injection this morning. First time I've noticed this. Within 3-4 hours it had mostly dissipated (could still feel it but not really see it anymore). Just don't want to be walking around with a big lump on my belly! Right now I don't think anyone who didn't know would notice but it might be very obvious at the 8-10% level. And I have every intention of reaching that level!

    I only SQ HCG anymore. Never liked SQ for test for some reason. Lumps occur and dissipate on their own though. Nothing to worry about.

    Not so much worried about the lumps from the subq injection. More along the lines of the less bf the more promininent that lump is going to be. But at least it doesn't take the long to dissipate.

    I have not personally injected myself IM with my test cyp but the first couple of times at the docs office that was how they did it. I just find subq so easy and painless that I never have really considered trying it IM. Maybe I'll give it a go someday.

    So you use IM now instead? What lead you to change (if you did subq previously that is).

    Yes. I never did SQ exclusively. It was just part of a rotation for me. Plus with doing HCG I just didn't want to add more injections to my stomach. I can't do SQ anywhere else. IM is just easier for me and I most times use a 27ga 1/2 in syringe or 25ga 1". Barely feel either one of them.

    how about glutes? usually there is more fat in that area. also thighs are a good place, if its not thick enough go in an angle. BTW, that video of Crisler, I really believe he jabbed into muscle, that's why he bleed so much, true SQ you may get one drop two the most.

    I wondered about that too. I rarely get even the slightest of blood leakage. Could be also because he was so aggressive with the jab. I do it nice and slow. Unless the needle is directly on a nerve I never feel a thing. If it is on a nerve it is obvious right away (well before it becomes uncomfortable) and I simply move the needle a bit.

    this is definitely not a side from TRT SQ or IM, your head was playing tricks on you.

    I tend to agree with Bass on this. Not a "typical" response to an SQ injection. It very well could have been psychological, whether you know it or not! That is in no way meant in a negative fashion dreadnok!

    trust me on this one dreadnok, you probably got nervous, or a coincidence of something else casing the symptoms.

    I remember when I started TRT my mind was playing so many tricks on me! this happens because we still learning about how TRT works and we assume whatever happens (good or bad) is because of it. for example, if I inject test then go eat something bad and get stomach ache, not knowing what to expect from TRT I will automatically assume it was the shot. once you learn that the effects don't happen over night with TRT all these alters will go away.

    I've never felt the so-called "test high" that some people say they experience. I feel the same after the injection as I did before. Dammit.
