    How much oil in bi's and tris?

    I started adding sterile oil w/my prop to ease the pain and it has made a world of difference.

    About 20 min ago when I did my tri with 1.3 ml I noticed I could feel the oil lump in the muscle. I use 1.5" pin in the glute. 1" in delt and 5/8" in bi and tri.

    Question is, should I use less oil in the bi/tri or go deeper with the extra oil or just not worry about the lump since it isn't bothering me?

    Thanks

    I definitely wouldn't go any deeper. I use 5/8 on bi's and have never put more than .5ml in each one. I soon may move up to 1 full ml though. I would just try to massage out the lump as best you can.

    Tris

    I never had a problem with 1.5ml in tris. Every injection(100's) i have ever done has left a "lump of oil". Keep in mind you muscle size/BF is going to be the bigest factor in how much volume you can handle and what needle size to use. I always use 25gx1 for tris, delts, and lats.

    Bis

    Fvck that $hit... i shot bis once and it was terrible... so i would say bis(mine anyway) can take 0ml.

    what volume of sterile oil are you using to cut the prop?

    don't worry about it, just don't go much higher than 1.5-2mL in bis or tris, some people can shoot more, some less, depends on how big you are

    Thanks. I'll try the 1" next time, see if it's different. Before I was just shooting .7ml of prop 70mgs. I added .6ml of cottonseed oil to it.

    I guess the .7 of just prop I was shooting was small enough that I just didn't notice the lump, but as long as that's normal, I don't have an issue with it, just didn't want to continue with that volume if problems could arise from it.

    And I'm about 214 12-13% bf so I have a decent amount of muscle to put it in. Not huge in comparison to many on here by any means though.

    Yeah 5/8 is what I will keep using on bis. The skin/fat is paper thin there.

    shoot very slowly as well, giving the oil time to absorb as you go.

    Is this personal preference or due to the size of your muscle? I inject 3ml in the long head my tricep regularly.

    Lump of oil was gone in the morning. I guess it just took a little longer to absorb the extra oil. No pain today, just a little soreness. Adding the extra oil has made a world of difference.

    i use a 25g 1in. needle and shoot up to 1ml in the bi's without discomfort. have never done the tri's. i guess it would matter how large the muscle is
