    An update on my first cycle.

    Put in my order w a supplier in Dec 2022 i think it was. got my packages delivered in April.

    It was a kind of a mess it got confiscated.

    supplier was good about it shipped out my same order got to me in 2 weeks

    Anyway, been busy, unfocused, but I'm ready to start now. fuckin finally.

    A picture of what I have is attached.

    I'm still trying to figure out some things...the size needles and were to inject.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    We all know i'm green what can i say, we all gotta start somehere.

    You probably would want to use 2 different needles every time you shoot. A 19 gauge 1" needle is good to draw with and you probably would want a 1.5" 23 or 25 gauge need to inject in your glutes. You might be able to get away with a 1" 23 or 25 gauge to inject in shoulders, but you need to make sure you get through the dermal layers and in to the muscle.

    Also rotate locations. Don't inject in the same spot more than once a week. It'd be better if you inject in that spot every other week. And expect muscle soreness the first few times you inject in a spot. And make sure you wipe with a cottonball and alcohol the spot you're going to inject in to. Not everybody does this, but I think it's a good idea to take a shower before you pin yourself. The more you can reduce risk of an infection, the better (not that I think it's going to happen).

    Why two different needles? One to draw and one to inject?

    Why two different needles - one to draw and one to inject? Never needed to do this before.

    This is one of those things you need to try to fully appreciate. You will see and feel a difference.

    Yes. Test is too thick to draw with smaller needles.

    I use a 27g needle, both to draw and inject. It really isn't that slow. But I'm only doing trt doses atm.

    Right same for me. I mean yeah it would suck if you’re like a 600 plus test a week or a big cycle drawing with a bigger needle would be the way to go
