Thread: Subcutaneous

Why would anyone want to pin subq? Test is a long ester anyway so why put it in fat and cause a lump, for it to take an extra week to absorb? Makes no sense to me but to each his own. It hurst like hell when u miss the muscle. I subq pinned by accident and caused a cyst so bad i needed 2 rounds of antibiotics. Why take the chance ?

Let me preface this with full disclosure: I'm a n00b to AAS (just started my only cycle), so you can take this w/ a grain of salt, if you wish. BUT I am a nurse, for whatever that's worth.

I guess it depends on your application. I really don't see a downside of pinning SubQ. Takes longer to do, but according to things I've read, SQ releases at a slower rate, making the levels more consistent, theoretically lessens aromatase activity, and lessens the scarring in muscle tissue after multiple injections. TRT docs are actually recommending SQ to their patients as a method of administration.

Granted, you can't inject the same volume w/ each pin, but if you're pinning <1cc per injection, I see it as a very viable method. Some of the conventional wisdom about time of action & time it takes for a compound to clear would most likely need to be revised for SQ administration, but I don't see your question of "Why would you want to pin SubQ?"...like it's a stupid thing to consider as a very good one. There are actually a few benefits over an IM injection. Again...this all goes to application.

I enjoy pinning oils IM personally.

HCG, Peps, or HCG...stuff like that SubQ for sure.

I've always believed by pushing oils into your muscle tissues you will also help expand the facia of the muscle and allow for further muscular growth.

Don't know how much truth there is behind this but I read it somewhere.

To each their own!

Do what works for YOU

Its all great until it forms a baseball size cyst in your fat. Thats has happened to me due to not going deep enough in the muscle. The dr told me testosterone i meant to go into the muscle and if you subq it is common for a lump to form. Actually, right now i didnt go deep enough with and i have a lump that hurts like hell. It is straight from the pharmacy before anyone questions the quality. Do as you please though.

What makes subQ more risky than IM?

I am interested in this totally and from what i gatherer, subq you can only do small amounts like 100mg. U just inject more often which keeps estrogen down. If u are running 200mg-600mg , unless u wanna subq everyday, you have to IM. If u try and subq 300mg lets say, you have a high percentage of developing a cyst or hemotoma. It happened to me a few times already but it was a large amount at once.

Nothing like the good old feeling of slowly pushing a needle into my skin and through all the layers and breaking into the muscle and sinking it deep into the tissue and then injecting oil....mmmm mmm mmmmmm love it

Except when I hit a nerve...yeah that's the only time I don't enjoy it is when I hit a nerve...then it becomes less enjoyable by an immeasurable amount.

LOL.. Hitting a nerve is just your bodies way of reminding you who is in charge...
