Injection
Hey guys, just curious what is y'all's go to injection spot for test, and what size needles do you prefer? I'm on TRT right now (300 mg a week since I'm a low responder), and my clinic has me doing one injection a week 1.5cc with a 25G 1" needle in my upper side/Ventroglute area. I find that half of the time I have some pip the following day sometimes two. Any insight is appreciated.

I draw with a 1” 18 gauge then pin with a 23 or 25 (whatever is available when I order) either 1” or 1.5” depending on the muscle. I hit my quads, glutes, and delts.

Damn 1.5"?? Every time I've used that deep I've gotten bad pip, but then again I'm only 205 lbs at 6'2".

How much do you pin each time? And I have heard from guys to switch to 27 gauge 1/2 in needles, but then other guys have told me that that's not big enough for intramuscular injections. Also I have heard it depends upon the gear that you're using. I just got some testosterone cypionate from amerigear, and I still had a little pip even though it's MCT oil which is supposed to be thinner than GSO which is why I was using from the pharmacy.

Size of the muscle group and thickness of the fat layer are key factors. If your going into a large muscle group go moderately deep. In my delt I go 1” but probably could get away with 1/2”. Since I have the muscle I choose to go deeper.

This is all I do. Glut 27g 1.5” or delt 27g 1”. Works super well. Draw with a 20g.

Vglute is my fav.
27 @ 1/2 is going to cause pip

What do you do to help mitigate pip?

I got a lot to say on this one but I’m at work now. I’ll give a full run down on PIP and how it can be misconceived to be ONLY caused by how you inject.
Stay tuned….
