Pin sizing question

[pins]

I use 1 1/2 inch needles

I always use 25s with no problems. I went on a trip once and took a few loaded pins w me. I forgot to swap out the 18s I drew with and had to inject with them. It may have just been my imagination but I swear I could hear them ripping tissue going into my ventro glute . Good times!!!

I just switched from 23 to 22 for some test400 & primo200 that’s thick oil. With a 23 it would constantly clog and i would have to re-pin, 22 it’s flows through in seconds, zero difference in pain soreness from the extra size.

Agreed it’s just a visual thing

when I was competing and doing local site injections I would always use a 22 g for the triceps shots it was just so much easier to do on an already awkward angle for the inject

23g x1"

I'm finishing up week 2 after 10 years away from the game. I'm realizing now that I previously used 1.5" and prefer the longer length, but I'll use these little guys until they're gone.

I don't believe SubQ is as effective in absorption... At least I haven't found concrete evidence to change my mind

According to my blood work you would wrong on that plus I don't need any aromasin or arimidex going Sub-Q. I do seem to need it going intramuscular The only thing though is you can't shoot a lot at one time half a 1/2 cc at the most . I went IM for years I won't go back to doing that again very often. There are pros and cons both ways though

Very interesting! This is the type of evidence that's convincing enough to switch over. Are you seeing less of a spike in estrogen due to lower T doses or were you pinning the exact same via Intramuscular?

Thank you

During a cruise I pin the exact same amount either way and my numbers come out roughly the same in total aand free test but always lower estradiol numbers Sub Q. I just backfill an insulin syringe once a week and Monday Wednesday and Friday try to hit about 30 iu of test c 200.

I just looked at prior tests These were back to back. So intramuscular at about 180ish mg. Test 1390 Estro 73. Sub Q at 180ish Test 1350 estro 27 . Both tests showed above normal hematocrit so now after donating twice and taking a small dose of telmisartan I'm going to get my levels check next week so I'll have another result to compare

I'm following this, very interesting.Aalosio.

I use slin pins and a small floor heater in the bathroom to heat up the oil just enough to draw and shoot. Works great been doing this for years.

Perfect. Much appreciated brotha
I'm 4 weeks deep IM so I'll continue with this protocol until I go in for Labs. Post bloodwork, I'll re-evaluate.

Yeah keep doing what you're doing I'm just saying there's other options . Both have pros and cons

I've been drawing and injecting Direct's test 400 with 31g insulin syringes. I'm going down to 29g on my next box
