    Inject before or after workout??

    Ive read on this forum that quite a few guys inject before their workout and even inject into the muscle that will be trained later that day. I've done this myself (quads) and believe the injection site was not as sore the next day. However, I read in a book that you should not inject a muscle that you will be working that day as it may cause tissue damage to the muscle? Injection in a particular muscle should be after its worked and given rest to repair.


    My question is; should you inject a muscle that will be worked later in the day, or even the next day?

    Ive just recently started prop and did a delt injection last week prior to chest workout. My shoulder ached real bad for 2 days after. The other sites just minor...?

    I always inject after my workout and right before my shower. As for injecting in the muscle to be worked I never worry about that. I just inject in the site that falls in rotation. Like Right glute, left glute, right quad, left quad and so on...

    I always try to run quad/glute shots on leg day. Especially if I am running something painful like winny or Prop. working it in cuts down on soreness for me.

    I inject, then work out. I feel I get a greater pump.

    But wouldnt injecting into a muscle, then working it out (filling it with blood) help distribute/break down the oil in the muscle fascia? Surely, this is a positive effect...?

    I always inject an hour or two before workouts. I don't really pay attention to what muscle group I am working out. I stick with my rotation and if it happens to fall on the day that I am training that muscle than that is what I do.

    That makes sense to me too. With a big muscle group there's a lot of room to disperse.

    But, I put 2 cc's in my shoulder and I could see a visible swelling in the mid delt afterwards (impressive). Maybe working that smaller muscle group when its freshly filled with oil would be too much?
