Always wondered...

This may seem silly but I have always wanted to know, how long once you have injected does it take steroids to disipate enough to work that muscle? Is it 2 hours, 2 days, overnight? From my reasoning you essentially have a ball of oil inside your muscle after injection. So by working out straight afterward and tensing that muscle is it possible to create a tear in the muscle by squashing it?... or can you just go hell for leather straight away... Ideally you wouldn't put a shot in your shoulder then go straight and do shoulders but you know what I mean...

Once blood levels stable with correct training and nutrition you will start to gain. Most start gaining between week 3-6

welcome to the forum

to my understanding, the injected area that has this so called "oil bubble" post injection - is continuously but slowly dissipating in the area and will be entering bloodstream eventually. Since oil is not a hard-rock like ice-cube - its very unlikely you will hurt/tear your muscle by any chance (due to injection in it) but you will/may feel pressure in the area which should go away eventually, as you work the muscle, and more you work the muscle. So in other words there is little no no risk in working injected muscle, and alot people do that, inject their muscle before working on it, but that's usually with short esters, however long esters can be done the same way also.

The ester release time will be improved but it will not be instant. Take this for example - you inject 250mg test-e, and if you dont work that muscle within first few days, oil will dissipate and begin absorb at slower rate resulting more even raise hormone levels, but if you dissipate injected area more oil will hit bloodstream quicker and more of it will/may begin breakdown from ester sooner or at slightly accelerated rate, depending on your body biology in to bloodstream, producing burst/spike of test and then later dip quicker.

hope it helps (and Im open to corrections on my theory)

Welcome!

I inject glutes before leg day and shoulders before shoulder day all the time.

Welcome. Pinning quads actually gets me excited for leg day

Welcome to the forum!
Yes, every time you workout a muscle injected with AAS or any other intramuscular depot medication, you'll get a spike in absorption.

I remember an example from one of my pharmacology books about a football player who had been injected IM with an antipsychotic medication.
During the footbal(soccer) game he actually fainted due to high levels released.

I inject my glutes and deadlift or squat asap. Nothing like it! The spike in absorption is a sure thing.
