My shots of 4ad/1test were extremely hard to get the plunger to go down, I always stuck the needle in myself, then had either my brother or knox push the plunger in for me. To try and get it to go in easier I would reccommend running the syringe under warm water for a minute or so to lower the viscosity a bit, it should go through a bit easier. I drew with a 22g and shot with a 25g. You said you had problems with getting the 4ad to come out, I dont know if you do it or not, but what really helps is inject several cc of air into the bottle before you actually draw from it, just keep putting air in the bottle, until when the needle is in the bottle that the pressure causes the plunger to go out on its own, obviously the farther down the bottle you get the more air you will have to put in the bottle due to less volume of the liquid in the bottle. Also one other thing I might add, again I dont know if you are doing it or not, but it helped me, mix the 1test and 4ad in a 50/50 ration in the syringe, the 4ad helps cut down from the pain that comes with the 1test. I was running the same dosages as you, so this is what I did, I shot two days a week, doing two injections each day. On monday I would mix in one syringe 1.25ml of 1test and 1.25ml of 4ad totalling 2.5ml, then have another syringe filled with the same mixture. I would shoot one syringe in my right glute and the other in my right quad, then on thursday I would again have two syringes each mixed the exact same way and shoot one syringe in my left glute and the other I would split 1.25ml in my left shoulder and 1.25ml in my right shoulder, it worked out pretty good this way, so it all totals out for the week 5cc of 1test=1000mg and 5cc of 4ad=1500mg, so if that helps you any. Good luck with your cycle Ryan!!
