    Pinning in Thigh instead of Glute?

    Thanks. Yeah, that's what I learned. Test prop might not be the best choice for a first cycle with virgin muscles. I'm toughing it out. Every muscle I pin with it thanks me back with 3 days of pain. Massaging the area immediately after the inject when there is no pain really helps. It...

    Pinning in Thigh instead of Glute?

    What I think I discovered is that test prop is more painful than test enath. Regardless of how well I pin or where I pin, when I pin test prop for the first time (I've done it in two virgin muscles now) 24 hours later, I have severe PIP. Right now it's my quad from that "perfect" pin I talked...

    Pinning in Thigh instead of Glute?

    Well it may be crazy, but it's the truth. Today I heated the test and used a 25 needle in the quad and it could not have gone better. The plunger depressed slowly but without a fight. It was so much easier. I have zero PIP. My glute from pinning two days ago still feels like I got smashed...

    Pinning in Thigh instead of Glute?

    Another thought. I keep the gear in a back bedroom that is well air-conditioned and very cool. It's def not room temp. Maybe it's a bit thicker because of that.

    Pinning in Thigh instead of Glute?

    I'm using 3ml syringes. I guess this gear is just thick.

    Pinning in Thigh instead of Glute?

    Man, my upper-outer glute where I re-pinned the test prop twice with the same needle is SO sore. It feels like it's bruised but there is no visual sign of bruising. Amazing how easily a needle dulls and how important it is to use a fresh one every time we pin. I assume the pain is from a...

    Pinning in Thigh instead of Glute?

    Just an FYI - I went ahead and did the Test E in the glute with the 25g needle just because I wanted to be absolutely sure I wasn't crazy or doing something wrong. Talk about a clusterf*@k of anxiety, pain, unnecessary blood and struggle. This is a near impossibility with a 25g needle! The...

    Pinning in Thigh instead of Glute?

    Okay, ordering 23's right now. In the meantime, heat up the test and continue to use the 25's or use the 20's that I have for drawing? Will using the 20's f me up? Too big and cause scaring?

    Pinning in Thigh instead of Glute?

    Hi, I pinned for the first time earlier today and I suppose it could have gone worse, but it was far from perfect and easy. Test P 100mg/1cc with a 25g 1.5" needle in the glute. I didn't aspirate because it seemed impossible trying to do it with two hands. I now understand I should be able...

    Is this arm pain normal?

    No, I have not. I tried pressing on the trigger points which I guess is acupressure. That worked to alleviate the pain. I also discovered that my hand positions while doing the the dumbbell upward row is important. If my thumbs start to point upward and I'm holding the dumbbells in a...

    Is this arm pain normal?

    It's the brachioradialis. Any tips on how to relieve the stress on the brachioradialis when I am doing these exercises? I'm pretty sure the culprit is the upward row. Maybe there is another exercise I could do for the medial delt? Or tips on how to do the upward row in a way that doesn't...

    Is this arm pain normal?

    Hello, I've upped my reps on a simple 3 exercise upper body routine; push-ups, dumbbell upward row & dumbbell shoulder press. I typically do 3 sets to positive failure. Now I'm doing 5 sets. One day into this increase and I have some pain I wanted to get some feedback on. Nothing else...

    I don't know anything about Duta. Maybe someone else could answer that. I only know that you are safe with a low dose of fina. Tons of guys do it and I have never heard of any problems. The only "problems" you hear about are from guys who haven't tried it who speculate based on...

    Hair Loss Prevention

    I can only speak for Fina. No. It's actually a tremendously mild compound at 1mg. If you took a larger dose, maybe. Take into account that DHT is an anti-estrogen and blocking it while your body has supraphysiological levels of testosterone (depending on what type of gear you are taking)...

    Hair Loss Prevention

    Yes. But you will only have to see the doc once. I found an urgent care clinic that would see me for $50 and prescribe it for me. Then the prescription itself costs between $4-$12 for a 4 month supply (30 pills divided into quarters) but only if you go to a cheap pharmacy. So once you pay...

    Hair Loss Prevention

    Personally, I wouldn't mess with research chem fina for something that is so important and will be used for the rest of your life. Generic Proscar 5mg is ridiculously cheap at Target and Walmart Pharmacy. Just cut the pill in 1/4's and you'll be fine. I previously mentioned something on this...
